Abstract
The present disclosure discloses three carotenoid esterases and the application of their encoding genes. The genes encoding the carotenoid esterase include: LbZAT1 gene with the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1, LbZAT2 gene with the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:2, and/or LbZAT3 gene with the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:3. The proteins encoded by the LbZAT1, LbZAT2 and LbZAT3 genes of the present disclosure have the function of catalyzing the esterification reaction between carotenoids containing free hydroxyl and fatty acid acyl donors. Carotenoid esterase and its encoding genes have important application value in the biosynthesis of esterified carotenoids in vitro.
