Sequence variation determining stereochemistry of a Δ11 desaturase active in moth sex pheromone biosynthesis.

Insect biochemistry and molecular biology - 1 Jul 2016

Ding Bao-Jian, Carraher Colm, Löfstedt Christer

Abstract excerpt

A Δ11 desaturase from the oblique banded leaf roller moth Choristoneura rosaceana takes the saturated myristic acid and produces a mixture of (E)-11-tetradecenoate and (Z)-11-tetradecenoate with an excess of the Z isomer (35:65). A desaturase from the spotted fireworm moth Choristoneura parallela also operates on myristic acid substrate but produces almost pure (E)-11-tetradecenoate. The two desaturases share 92%...
