Abstract
Carotenoid cleavage oxygenase (CCO) plays a pivotal role in various biological activities, including antioxidant and immune functions in animals. This paper investigates the evolution and expression of CCO genes based on three chordates and 27 arthropods. Aquatic animals exhibit a higher abundance of CCO genes. Despite this, research on CCO in crustaceans has been notably limited, with a complete absence of any previous studies on the CCO genes for the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). In this study, six CCO genes were identified in the E. sinensis genome database. Results reveal that the evolution of the CCO gene family in Crustacea is primarily characterized by purifying selection, with a preference for employing similar codons. EsCCO1 and EsCCO3 were mainly expressed in the epidermal layer, and EsCCO4 was mainly expressed in the hindgut. Meanwhile, EsCCO5 and EsCCO6 were mainly expressed in the hepatopancreas and endometrium. A notable detail that different EsCCO genes demonstrate distinct expression patterns within various tissues of E. sinensis. The findings of this study offer fundamental insights that could serve as a basis for further exploration into the functions and regulatory mechanisms of CCO genes in crustacean species.

Genome-wide characterization of carotenoid oxygenase gene family in three cotton species and functional identification of GaNCED3 in drought and salt stress. J Appl Genet 2021; 62:527-543.

Abstract
Cotton that serves natural fiber for the textile industry is an important industrial crop. However, abiotic stress imposed a significant negative impact on yield and quality of cotton fiber. Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) that specifically catalyze the cleavage of carotenoid are essential for plant growth and development and abiotic stress response. While information of cotton CCOs and their potential functions in abiotic stress is still far from satisfactory, which imposes restrictions on application in genetic breeding for stress resistance. In this study, 15, 15, and 30 CCOs were identified from Gossypium arboreum, Gossypium raimondii, and Gossypium hirsutum, respectively. Phylogenetic relationship indicated that CCO genes could be classified into two groups (NCEDs and CCDs). Cis-elements prediction showed that there were 18 types of stress-related cis-elements in promoter regions. Analysis with transcriptome data revealed tissue-specific expression pattern of cotton CCOs. qRT-PCR analysis revealed only that GhNCED3a_A/D and GhNCED3c_A/D had strong response to drought, salt, and cold stress, while GhCCD1_A/D and GhCCD4_A showed relatively slight expression changes. Virus-induced gene silencing of GaNCED3a, the ortholog gene of GhNCED3a_A/D, suggested that silenced plants exhibited decreased resistance not only to drought but also to salt, with significantly reduced proline content, and high malondialdehyde content and water loss rate. In addition, stress response genes RD29A, DREB1A, and SOS1 significantly downregulated under drought and salt stress in silenced plants compared to control plants, indicating that GaNCED3a played an important role in drought and salt response. The results provided valuable insights into function analysis of cotton CCOs in abiotic stress response, and suggested potential benefit genes for stress-resistant breeding.

Abstract
Vanillin is a well-known fragrant, flavoring compound. Previously, we established a method of coenzyme-independent vanillin production via an oxygenase from Caulobacter segnis ATCC 21756, called Cso2, that converts 4-vinylguaiacol to vanillin and formaldehyde using oxygen. In this study, we found that reactive oxygen species inhibited the catalytic activity of Cso2, and the addition of catalase increased vanillin production. Since Escherichia coli harbors catalases, we used E. coli cells expressing Cso2 to produce vanillin. Cell immobilization in calcium alginate enabled the long-term use of the E. coli cells for vanillin production. Thus, we demonstrate the possibility of using immobilized E. coli cells for both continuous and repeated batch vanillin production without any coenzymes.

Abstract
Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) are able to cleave carotenoids to produce apocarotenoids and their derivatives, which are important for plant growth and development. In this study, 21 apple CCO genes were identified and divided into six groups based on their phylogenetic relationships. We further characterized the apple CCO genes in terms of chromosomal distribution, structure and the presence of cis-elements in the promoter. We also predicted the cellular localization of the encoded proteins. An analysis of the synteny within the apple genome revealed that tandem, segmental, and whole-genome duplication events likely contributed to the expansion of the apple carotenoid oxygenase gene family. An additional integrated synteny analysis identified orthologous carotenoid oxygenase genes between apple and Arabidopsis thaliana, which served as references for the functional analysis of the apple CCO genes. The net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance of leaves decreased, while leaf stomatal density increased under drought and saline conditions. Tissue-specific gene expression analyses revealed diverse spatiotemporal expression patterns. Finally, hormone and abiotic stress treatments indicated that many apple CCO genes are responsive to various phytohormones as well as drought and salinity stresses. The genome-wide identification of apple CCO genes and the analyses of their expression patterns described herein may provide a solid foundation for future studies examining the regulation and functions of this gene family.
