EC 4.2.1.131     
Accepted name: carotenoid 1,2-hydratase
Reaction: (1) 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene = lycopene + H2O
(2) 1,1′-dihydroxy-1,1′,2,2′-tetrahydrolycopene = 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene + H2O

Other name(s): CrtC
Systematic name: lycopene hydro-lyase (1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene-forming)
Comments: In Rubrivivax gelatinosus [1] and Thiocapsa roseopersicina [2] both products are formed, whereas Rhodobacter capsulatus [1] only gives 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene. Also acts on neurosporene giving 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydroneurosporene with both organism but 1,1′-dihydroxy-1,1′,2,2′-tetrahydroneurosporene only with Rubrivivax gelatinosus.
