DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, recombinant expression of the enzyme as fusion protein with beta-actin from Mamestra brassicae, UniProt ID B0LF73, quantitative real-time PCR enzyme expression analysis
expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae DELTAelo1/DELTAole mutant strain, which is both elongase 1 and DELTA9 desaturase-deficient, using a Cu+2 inducible expression vector, the recombinant expression leads to producing large quantities of C11-monounsaturated fatty acids, mainly (Z)-11-hexadecenoic acid, (E,E)-10,12-tetradecadienoic acid, minor amounts of (E,Z)-10,12-hexadecadienoic acid, and very low amounts of (E,Z)-10,12-tetradecadienoic isomer
gene d2, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, phylogenetic analysis, functional expression of MsexAPTQ desaturase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain W303
genetic trans-formation of a desaturase-deficient strain of the yeast Sac-charomyces cerevisiae with an expression plasmid encoding PDesat-Tn DELTA11Z results in complementation of the strain's fatty acid auxotrophy and the production of DELTA11 Z-unsaturated fatty acids
into a copper-inducible pYEX vector to assess its desaturase activity and then transformed into a desaturase- and elongase-deficient mutant ole1 elo1 yeast strain
partial cDNAs are amplified and cloned into the vector pCold I DNA, recombinant proteins are produced by Escherichia coli BL21 cells and used as antigens to raise antibodies in mice
