Demonstration and Solubilization of Lycopene Cyclase from Capsicum Chromoplast Membranes 1

Bilal Camara and Odette Dogbo

Laboratoire de Régulations Métaboliques et Differenciation des Plastes, Tour 53, Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6), 75230 Paris Cédex 05, France

The conversion of phytoene into {beta}-carotene was demonstrated previously in chromoplast membranes prepared from Capsicum fruits (B. Camara et al. 1982 Eur J Biochem 127: 255-258). The direct cyclization of lycopene into {beta}-carotene and the successful solubilization of the enzymic activity involved in this reaction is reported.
