The critical role of retinoids (vitamin A and its derivatives) for vision,
reproduction, and survival has been well established. Vitamin A is produced from
dietary carotenoids such as ?-carotene by centric cleavage via the enzyme BCO1.
The biochemical and molecular identification of a second structurally related
?-carotene metabolizing enzyme, BCO2, has led to a prolonged debate about its
relevance in vitamin A biology. While BCO1 cleaves provitamin A carotenoids, BCO2
is more promiscuous and also metabolizes nonprovitamin A carotenoids such as
zeaxanthin into long-chain apo-carotenoids. Herein we demonstrate, in cell lines,
that human BCO2 is associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane. Different
human BCO2 isoforms possess cleavable N-terminal leader sequences critical for
mitochondrial import. Subfractionation of murine hepatic mitochondria confirmed
the localization of BCO2 to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Studies in
BCO2-knockout mice revealed that zeaxanthin accumulates in the inner
mitochondrial membrane; in contrast, ?-carotene is retained predominantly in the
cytoplasm. Thus, we provide evidence for a compartmentalization of carotenoid
metabolism that prevents competition between BCO1 and BCO2 for the provitamin and
the production of noncanonical ?-carotene metabolites.
