Abstract
The present invention is directed to isolated nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides of thraustochytrid polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthases involved in the production of PUFAs, including PUFAs enriched in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), or a combination thereof. The present invention is directed to vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides encoded by the nucleic acid molecules, compositions comprising the nucleic acid molecules or polypeptides, and methods of making and uses thereof.
Claims10
An recombinant nucleic acid molecule comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide and a transcription control sequence, wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:8, wherein the polypeptide comprises KS activity, said polynucleotide sequence is heterologous to said transcription control sequence.
