Cloning of a gene for chloroplast omega6 desaturase of a green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Journal of biochemistry - 1 Dec 1997

Sato N, Fujiwara S, Kawaguchi A, Tsuzuki M

Abstract excerpt

A gene for chloroplast omega6 desaturase, which catalyzes the desaturation of monoenoic to dienoic acids in chloroplasts, was isolated from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We first performed reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction with oligonucleotide primers corresponding to regions conserved among plastid omega6 desaturases of higher plants and delta12 desaturases of cyanobacteria, using C. reinhardtii...
