To get insights into the biosynthesis of these furanones, we isolated an enone oxidoreductase gene from the Alphonso mango. It has high sequence similarity to an alkenal/one oxidoreductase from cucumber (79% identity) and enone oxidoreductases from tomato (73% identity) and strawberry (72% identity). The complete open reading frame was expressed in E. coli and the (his) 6-tagged recombinant protein was purified by affinity chromatography. The purified protein assayed with NADH as a reducing agent converted D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate into furaneol, the immediate precursor of mesifuran. The enzyme was also able to convert two highly reactive carbonyls, 3-buten-2-one and 1-penten-3-one, produced by lipid peroxidation in plants, into their saturated derivatives. Expression profiling in various ripening stages of Alphonso fruits depicted an expression maxima at 10 days after harvest stage, shortly before the appearance of the maximum amount of furanones (completely ripe stage, 15 days after harvest). Although no furanones were detected at the 0 day after harvest stage, significant expression of this gene was detected in the fruits at this stage. Overall, the results suggest that this oxidoreductase plays important roles in Alphonso mango fruits.</p>10aDetoxification10aEnone oxidoreductase10aFlavor10aMangifera indica10aRipening1 aKulkarni, Ram1 aChidley, Hemangi, G.1 aDeshpande, Ashish1 aSchmidt, Axel1 aPujari, Keshav1 aGiri, Ashok, P.1 aGershenzon, Jonathan1 aGupta, Vidya  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/oxidoreductase-alphonso-mango-catalyzing-biosynthesis-furaneol-and-reduction-reactive-0
