为研究苜蓿中华根瘤菌脂肪酸脱饱和酶desA基因在不饱和脂肪酸合成、共生结瘤固氮以及应对逆境胁迫中的功能,为高效利用苜蓿中华根瘤菌提供理论依据,本文通过异体遗传互补和脂肪酸组成薄层层析,分析SmdesA编码蛋白是否具有脱饱和酶的活性并参与不饱和脂肪酸的合成,构建SmdesA的缺失突变株和互补菌株,比较各菌株在不同逆境胁迫条件下的生长速率以及回接宿主植物后与紫花苜蓿共生结瘤的能力.结果表明SmdesA不能互补大肠杆菌CY57中EcfabA的突变,但具有将饱和脂肪酸脱饱和形成不饱和的棕榈油酸和十八碳烯酸的能力.另外,SmdesA缺失突变对苜蓿中华根瘤菌的脂肪酸组成影响不大,但会显著影响低温和高盐条件下菌株的生长速率以及与紫花苜蓿共生结瘤的能力.我们推测,SmdesA参与的脱饱和途径可能是苜蓿中华根瘤菌不饱和脂肪酸合成的补偿途径,其编码的蛋白DesA不是不饱和脂肪酸合成的关键酶,但在应对逆境胁迫和共生结瘤中具有重要的生物学功能. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids involves an alternating process of fatty acid desaturation and elongation catalyzed by complex series of enzymes. ω3 desaturase plays an important role in converting ω6 fatty acids into ω3 fatty acids. Genes for this desaturase have been identified and characterized in a wide range of microorganisms, including cyanobacteria, yeasts, molds, and microalgae. Like all fatty acid desaturases, ω3 desaturase is structurally characterized by the presence of three highly conserved histidine-rich motifs; however, unlike some desaturases, it lacks a cytochrome b5-like domain. Understanding the structure, function, and evolution of ω3 desaturases, particularly their substrate specificities in the biosynthesis of very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, lays the foundation for potential production of various ω3 fatty acids in transgenic microorganisms. 相似文献

Oligomers based on amino acids conserved between known plant omega-3 and cyanobacterium omega-6 fatty acid desaturases were used to screen an Arabidopsis cDNA library for related sequences. An identified clone encoding a novel desaturase-like polypeptide was used to isolate its homologs from Glycine max and Brassica napus. The plant deduced amino acid sequences showed less than 27% similarity to known plant omega-6 and omega-3 desaturases but more than 48% similarity to cyanobacterial omega-6 desaturase, and they contained putative plastid transit sequences. Thus, we deduce that the plant cDNAs encode the plastid omega-6 desaturase. The identity was supported by expression of the B. napus cDNA in cyanobacterium. Synechococcus transformed with a chimeric gene that contains a prokaryotic promoter fused to the rapeseed cDNA encoding all but the first 73 amino acids partially converted its oleic acid fatty acid to linoleic acid, and the 16:1(9c) fatty acid was converted primarily to 16:2(9c, 12) in vivo. Thus, the plant omega-6 desaturase, which utilizes 16:1(7c) in plants, can utilize 16:1(9c) in the cyanobacterium. The plastid and cytosolic homologs of plant omega-6 desaturases are much more distantly related than those of omega-3 desaturases. 相似文献

A bifunctional delta-fatty acyl acetylenase/desaturase from the moss Ceratodon purpureus. A new member of the cytochrome b5 superfamily. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Many plant genes have been cloned that encode regioselective desaturases catalyzing the formation of cis-unsaturated fatty acids. However, very few genes have been cloned that encode enzymes catalyzing the formation of the functional groups found in unusual fatty acids (e.g. hydroxy, epoxy or acetylenic fatty acids). Here, we describe the characterization of an acetylenase from the moss Ceratodon purpureus with a regioselectivity differing from the previously described Delta12-acetylenase. The gene encoding this protein, together with a Delta6-desaturase, was cloned by a PCR-based approach with primers derived from conserved regions in Delta5-, Delta6-fatty-acid desaturases and Delta8-sphingolipid desaturases. The proteins that are encoded by the two cloned cDNAs are likely to consist of a N-terminal extension of unknown function, a cytochrome b5-domain, and a C-terminal domain that is similar to acyl lipid desaturases with characteristic histidine boxes. The proteins were highly homologous in sequence to the Delta6-desaturase from the moss Physcomitrella patens. When these two cDNAs were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, both transgenic yeast cultures desaturated Delta9-unsaturated C16- and C18-fatty acids by inserting an additional Delta6cis-double bond. One of these transgenic yeast clones was also able to introduce a Delta6-triple bond into gamma-linolenic and stearidonic acid. This resulted in the formation of 9,12,15-(Z,Z,Z)-octadecatrien-6-ynoic acid, the main fatty acid found in C. pupureus. These results demonstrate that the Delta6-acetylenase from C. pupureus is a bifunctional enzyme, which can introduce a Delta6cis-double bond into 9,12,(15)-C18-polyenoic acids as well as converting a Delta6cis-double bond to a Delta6-triple bond. 相似文献

In order to define the substrate requirements, regiochemistry and cryptoregiochemistry of the omega-3 fatty acid desaturases involved in polyunsaturated fatty acid formation, the genes Fad3 and fat-1 from Brassica napus and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans respectively were expressed in baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Various fatty acids, including deuterium-labelled thia-fatty acids, were supplied to growing cultures of transformed yeast. The results from GC-MS analysis of the desaturated products indicate that both the plant and animal desaturases act on unsaturated substrates of 16-20 carbons with a preference for omega-6-unsaturated fatty acids. The regioselectivities of both enzymes were confirmed to be that of omega-3 desaturases. The primary deuterium kinetic isotope effects at C-15 and C-16 of a C(18) fatty acid analogue were measured via competitive incubation experiments. Whereas k(H)/k(D) at the omega-3 position was shown to be large, essentially no kinetic isotope effect at the omega-2 position was observed for the plant or the nematode enzymes. These results indicate that omega-3 desaturation is initiated by an energetically difficult C-H bond cleavage at the carbon closer to the carboxyl terminus. These results will be discussed in the context of a general model relating the structure and function of membrane-bound fatty acid desaturases featuring different regioselectivities. 相似文献

在高等植物中,Δ9 脂肪酸去饱和酶引入第一个双键到饱和的脂肪酸链中,导致单不饱和脂肪酸的形成。我们通过RT-PCR、RNA ligase mediated RACE (RLM-RACE) and Overlap-PCR方法从海洋微藻绿色巴夫藻中克隆到一个命名为PvfadA的脂肪酸去饱和酶候选基因。通过将PvfadA基因在大肠杆菌表达系统中成功表达,PvFadA可以特异性地将C18:0脂肪酸转变成C18:1脂肪酸。PvFadA的氨基酸序列中存在一个存在于acyl-ACP去饱和酶的特异性金属离子结合区段(D/E)X2HX-100(D/E)X2H。通过同源模建PvFadA的3D结构显示,其包含了11个α螺旋,其中α3、α4、α6和α7组成了一个4个螺旋桶的核心结构,预测其可能是酶的活性中心。PvFadA的3D结构类似于蓖麻和结核分枝杆菌H37Rv的acyl-ACP去饱和酶。 相似文献

Plant desaturases: harvesting the fat of the land. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The past few years have witnessed a major upsurge in research towards the goal of modifying the lipid composition of plants. Genes encoding a range of different fatty acid desaturase activities have been cloned, and the evolutionary relationships between and within different classes of enzymes have tentatively been established. The effects of expressing some of these desaturases in heterologous hosts have also been studied, often producing unexpected results which contribute further to our understanding of plant lipid modification. It is to be hoped that, in the near future, the goal of producing unusual and valuable fatty acids in transgenic oilseeds will be achieved on a commercial scale. 相似文献

Monounsaturated fatty acids are essential components of membrane and storage lipids. Their synthesis depends on the conversion of saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty acids by Delta9 desaturases. Caenorhabditis elegans has three Delta9 desaturases encoded by the genes fat-5, fat-6, and fat-7. We generated nematodes that display a range of altered fatty acid compositions by constructing double-mutant strains that combine mutations in fat-5, fat-6, and fat-7. All three double-mutant combinations have reduced survival at low temperatures. The fat-5;fat-6 double mutants display relatively subtle fatty acid composition alterations under standard conditions, but extreme fatty acid composition changes and reduced survival in the absence of food. The strain with the most severe defect in the production of unsaturated fatty acids, fat-6;fat-7, exhibits slow growth and reduced fertility. Strikingly, the fat-6;fat-7 double-mutant animals have decreased fat stores and increased expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation. We conclude that the Delta9 desaturases, in addition to synthesizing unsaturated fatty acids for properly functioning membranes, play key roles in lipid partitioning and in the regulation of fat storage. 相似文献

The biosynthetic pathway of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been the subject of much interest over the last few years. Significant progress has been made in the identification of the enzymes required for PUFA synthesis; in particular, the fatty acid desaturases which are central to this pathway have now all been identified. These "front-end" desaturases are all members of the cytochrome b(5) fusion desaturase superfamily, since they contain an N-terminal domain that is orthologous to the microsomal cytochrome b(5). Examination of the primary sequence relationships between the various PUFA-specific cytochrome b(5) fusion desaturases and related fusion enzymes allows inferences regarding the evolution of this important enzyme class. More importantly, this knowledge helps underpin our understanding of polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. 相似文献
