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

The zea1 mutant of marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta 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 D. tertiolecta and the mutant. We found tha...
