Abstract
The invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules which encodes a novel fatty acid nECR. The invention also provides recombinant expression vectors containing nECR nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and methods for large-scale production of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), e.g., ARA, EPA and DHA.
Claims20
1-15. (canceled)
A polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- a) the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 3;
- b) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 or 4;
- c) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 50% sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence of a) or b), wherein said nucleic acid sequence encodes a polypeptide having nECR activity;
- d) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having nECR activity and comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 50% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of any one of a) to c);
- and
- e) a nucleic acid sequence which is capable of hybridizing under stringent conditions to any one of a) to d), wherein said nucleic acid sequence encodes a polypeptide having nECR activity.
