Patent

CA 2683497

The present invention relates to .DELTA.8 desaturase genes, which have the ability to convert eicosadienoic acid (EDA; 20:2 .omega.-6) to dihomo-.gamma.-linolenic acid (DGLA; 20:3 .omega.-6) and/or eicosatrienoic acid (ETrA; 20:3 .omega.-3) to eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA; (20:3 .omega.-3). Isolated nucleic acid fragments and recombinant DNA constructs comprising such fragments encoding .DELTA.8 desaturases along with a method of making long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) using these .DELTA.8 desaturases in oleaginous yeast are disclosed.

L'invention concerne des gènes de .DELTA.8 désaturase, capables de convertir l'acide eicosadiénoïque (EDA; 20:2 .omega.-6) en acide dihomo-.gamma.-linolénique (DGLA; 20:3 .omega.-6) et/ou l'acide eicosatriénoïque (ETrA; 20:3 .omega.-3) en acide eicosatétraénoïque (ETA; (20:3 .omega.-3). L'invention se rapporte à des fragments d'acide nucléique isolés et à des produits de recombinaison d'ADN renfermant lesdits fragments qui codent les .DELTA.8 désaturases, et à un procédé de fabrication d'acides gras polyinsaturés à chaîne longue ("polyunsaturated fatty acids" ou PUFA) qui fait appel auxdites .DELTA.8 désaturases dans une levure oléagineuse.
