title: Production of a recombinant carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase from grape and enzyme assay in water-miscible organic solvents.
abstract: A recombinant carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase from Vitis vinifera L. was produced by Escherichia coli as a fusion with the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) protein under different bacterial growth conditions. The enzyme production was monitored by a GST assay. Addition of Triton X-100 prior to bacterial cell disruption doubled the release of soluble protein. A simple spectrophotometric enzyme assay was developed to measure carotenoid cleavage activity using lutein as substrate. Enzyme activity showed a 26-fold increase with the addition of 10% (v/v) acetone in the reaction mixture.
