Comments
  • FUNCTION: Part of the xanthophyll (or violaxanthin) cycle for controlling the concentration of zeaxanthin in chloroplasts. Catalyzes the two-step mono de-epoxidation reaction. Stereospecific for all-trans xanthophylls. Zeaxanthin induces the dissipation of excitation energy in the chlorophyll of the light-harvesting protein complex of photosystem II.
  • CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Violaxanthin + ascorbate = antheraxanthin + dehydroascorbate + H2O.
  • CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Antheraxanthin + ascorbate = zeaxanthin + dehydroascorbate + H2O.
  • ENZYME REGULATION: Irreversibly inhibited by DTT and iodoacetamide at pH 5.7 or pH 5.2, but not at pH 7.2. Regulated through Ca(2+) gating of H(+) flux at the CFoH(+) channel. Requires the presence of lipids forming reverse hexagonal structures such as monogalactosyldiacylglyceride (MGDG) or phosphatidylethanolamine.
  • BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
    Kinetic parameters:   KM=10 mM for ascorbate at pH 6.0;
    KM=2.5 mM for ascorbate at pH 5.5;
    KM=1 mM for ascorbate at pH 5.0;
    KM=0.3 mM for ascorbate at pH 4.5;
    Note=KM for ascorbate increased when H-245, H-248, H-291 or H- 297 are mutated;
    pH dependence:   Optimum pH is 5.0;
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Lumenal side. Note=Binds to the thylakoid membrane at pH 5.2 and is released in the lumen at pH 7.2.
  • MISCELLANEOUS: The amount of VDE in vivo is estimated to be 1 molecule per 20-100 electron transport chains.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
