Metabolite Identification
Common Name4,4'-Diaponeurosporen-4-al
Description4,4'-Diaponeurosporen-4-al is a carotenoid aldehyde and a metabolite described in biomedical literature. It plays a significant role in the biosynthesis of staphyloxanthin, a pigment that contributes to the virulence of certain bacterial species, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. Research indicates that in Escherichia coli, 4,4'-diaponeurosporen-4-al can accumulate when the pathway to staphyloxanthin is disrupted, suggesting its role as an intermediate in carotenoid biosynthesis (PMID:22535955 ). Further studies have shown that specific enzymes are responsible for converting 4,4'-diaponeurosporen-4-al into 4,4'-diaponeurosporenoic acid, highlighting its potential metabolic pathway (PMID:22535955 ). The accumulation of this compound in Staphylococcus aureus, due to the inhibition of staphyloxanthin biosynthesis, confirms its importance in the carotenoid biosynthetic route (PMID:22535955 ). Additionally, 4,4'-diaponeurosporen-4-al was identified alongside other aldehyde metabolites, emphasizing its relevance in the broader context of carotenoid metabolism (PMID:1275886 ).
