Sc4Des

The Sc4Des gene encodes a ∆-4 desaturase from Schizochytrium sp. that catalyzes the conversion of Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; C22:5n-3) to Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6n- 3).

Characterisation

We constructed a plasmid containing promoter TEF, Sc4Des, and terminator Cyc1t through the T4 ligase. The plasmid was linearized by enzyme cleavage and then transformed into engineered strain with one copy of TsElo5. The Sc4Des gene was expressed in the promoter TEF, which catalyzes the conversion of Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; C22:5n-3) to Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6n-3). The activity of Sc4Des was examined by gas chromatography.

Result

Δ-4 desaturase was identified to convert DPA to DHA. The engineered strain Po1f-20 contained TsElo5. Thus, in order to obtain an engineered strain for co-production of DHA and EPA, Sc4Des gene from Schizochytrium sp. were randomly integrated in the genome of engineered strain Po1f-20 contained TsElo5 to obtain strain Po1f-21. The GC analysis indicated that the percentage of EPA and DHA in the engineered strain were 2.5% and 18.9% of TFAs, respectively, indicating successful heterologous synthesis of DHA and EPA in the Yarrowia lipolytica.
