Loss of Function in Zeaxanthin Epoxidase of <i>Dunaliella tertiolecta</i> Caused by a Single Amino Acid Mutation within the Substrate-Binding Site

Loss of Function in Zeaxanthin Epoxidase of <i>Dunaliella tertiolecta</i> Caused by a Single Amino Acid Mutation within the Substrate-Binding Site

The <i>zea1</i> mutant of marine microalga <i>Dunaliella tertiolecta</i> accumulates zeaxanthin under normal growth conditions, and its phenotype has been speculated to be related to zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZEP). In this study, we isolated the ZEP gene from both wild-type <i...
