A set of genomic DNA sequences putatively encoding front-end desaturases were identified by in silico analysis of the draft genome of the marine microalga Thalassiosira pseudonana. Among these candidate genes, an open reading frame named TpdesN was found to be full-length, intronless, and constitutively expressed during cell cultivation. The predicted amino acid sequence of the corresponding protein,...
Pavlova lutheri, a marine microalga, is rich in the very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) eicosapentaenoic (20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3) acids. Using an expressed sequence tag approach, we isolated a cDNA designated Pldes1, and encoding an amino acid sequence showing high similarity with polyunsaturated fatty acid front-end desaturases. Heterologous expression in yeast demonstrated...
