Carotenoid-binding proteins; accessories to carotenoid function.

Abstract: Understanding of the widespread biological importance of carotenoids is increasing. Accompanying this is the developing recognition that the interaction of carotenoids with other molecules, such as proteins, is also essential. Here the significance of carotenoid-protein interactions with respect to biological function is reviewed for three well characterised carotenoprotein complexes; crustacyanin, the orange carotenoid protein and glutathione-S-transferase P1. In addition a preliminary report is made on the r… Show more

“…While the reason for the carotenoid distribution outside lipid domains is unknown, it has been noted in the literature that some carotenoid derivatives are water soluble . However, it is more likely that the reason for distribution throughout the protein matrix is because of carotenoid–protein interactions, which have been noted more commonly in the literature …”

“…Free astaxanthin in shrimp is bound within a multimeric protein called CRCN [8]. CRCN is widespread amongst crustaceans, producing the dark blue/slate colorations of the carapace which is common in this phylum [9]. The interaction of CRCN and astaxanthin produce the naturally red carotenoid to blue or any other color, producing the diverse array of colors in the shrimp [10].…”

It is also likely that the in vivo chemical environment of the carotenoids may also subtly affect gonad coloration, as interactions with lipids and proteins can modify spectral properties(Britton, 2008;Pilbrow, Garama & Carne, 2012). The percentage of variance associated with each factor is given in parenthesis.…”
