Disease relevance of sll0033

A disruptive mutant of the sll0033 gene of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 produced primarily cis carotenes and small amounts of all-trans carotenes, but no xanthophylls, under dark conditions [1].

High impact information on sll0033

The function of gene sll0033 from Synechocystis 6803 which is homologous to the bacterial crtI-type phytoene desaturase genes was elucidated as a novel carotene isomerase [2].
