Characterization of three Δ9-fatty acid desaturases with distinct substrate specificity from an oleaginous fungus Cunninghamella echinulata.

Molecular biology reports - 1 Jul 2013

Abstract excerpt

In oleaginous fungus Cunninghamella echinulata, Δ9-fatty acid desaturase introduces the first double bond into a saturated fatty acid. Three distinct genes, designated as d9dma, d9dmb and d9dmc, all encoding putative Δ9-fatty acid desaturases were isolated from this strain. The predicted proteins showed 79-87 % identity to other fungal Δ9-fatty acid desaturases. They all contain three conserved histidine boxes,...
