Many new carotenoid synthesis genes have recently been identified through genomic sequencing or functional cloning. Some of them exhibit novel structures and/or novel functions. This review describes such examples in the families of lycopene β-cyclases, putative homologues of phytoene dehydrogenases and new carotenoid hydroxylases. Both the functionally novel lycopene β-monocyclases and structurally novel fusion-type of lycopene β-cyclases were described. Another newly discovered sequence of lycopene β-cyclase described might represent a new class of lycopene β-cyclases previously not identified in several cyanobacteria. Three examples of putative homologues of phytoene dehydrogenases were described, however, they were confirmed to encode different and/or new functions such as β-carotene ketolase, 4,4′-diapolycopene oxygenase or prolycopene isomerase. Two new carotenoid hydroxylase genes were described that encoded the new function of 2,2′-β-ionone ring hydroxylase or 3,3′-isorenieratene hydroxylase. Phylogenetic analysis of these genes shed light on their possible evolutionary origins. These new genes also provide tools for synthesis of novel and desirable carotenoids by genetic engineering.
