The carotenoid isomerase (CRTISO) was the first isomerase associated with the desaturation steps and named at a time when Z-ISO was unknown to exist ise.ws.ieo.iei (and reviewed in references ). In vitro analysis of substrate conversion " and transcript profiling in planta associated CRTISO with the desaturation steps. Isaacson demonstrated that CRTISO is specific for the 7,9 or 7,9- cis bond configuration and is not involved in the isomerization of the l5-l5-cis double bond to the trans conformation. As recently shown, Z-ISO is required for isomerization of the 15-15 cis double bond of phytoene produced in dark-grown tissues as well as in stressed photosynthetic tissues. Therefore, desaturation of phytoene to lycopene involves a two-step desaturation by PDS, followed l5-cis isomerization by Z-ISO, and then each pair of double bonds introduced by ZDS is followed by CRT-ISO-mediated isomerization of the resulting conjugated double bond pair.
