Biosynthesis of Carotenoids

  • Chapter
The Biochemistry of the Carotenoids

Abstract

Carotenoids, being terpenoids, are synthesized from the basic C5 terpenoid precursor, isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP). The first part of the chapter is concerned with evidence for IPP formation in higher plants and carotenogenic micro-organisms and for its conversion into geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), the C20 precursor of phytoene, the first C40 hydrocarbon formed. Then the formation of phytoene is discussed followed by a full description of its conversion into lycopene. Finally, the conversion of lycopene and related compounds, such as neurosporene, into the various naturally occurring carotenes and xanthophylls is described. This should allow the reader to follow more easily specialized aspects of biosynthesis, such as intracellular location of synthesis and photoinduction of synthesis, in the appropriate chapters which follow.
