15-Cis-phytoene desaturase

15-Cis-phytoene desaturase (EC 1.3.5.5, phytoene desaturase (ambiguous), PDS, plant-type phytoene desaturase) is an enzyme with systematic name 15-cis-phytoene:plastoquinone oxidoreductase.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

15-cis-phytoene + 2 plastoquinone

\rightleftharpoons

9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene + 2 plastoquinol (overall reaction)

(1a) 15-cis-phytoene + plastoquinone

\rightleftharpoons

15,9'-dicis-phytofluene + plastoquinol

(1b) 15,9'-dicis-phytofluene + plastoquinone

\rightleftharpoons

9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene + plastoquinol

This enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis in plants and cyanobacteria.
