pUC-HUH-EgDes8

The EgDes8 gene encodes a ∆-8 desaturase from Euglena gracilis that catalyzes the conversion of eicosadienoic acid (EDA; C20: 2n-6) to dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA; C20: 3n-6).

Characterisation

We constructed a plasmid containing promoter TEF, EgDes8, and terminator Cyc1t through the T4 ligase. The plasmid was linearized by enzyme cleavage and then transformed into engineered Yarrowia lipolytica and randomly integrated into its genome. The engineered strain Po1f-1 was obtained, which can catalyze the conversion of eicosadienoic acid (EDA; C20: 2n-6) to dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA; C20: 3n-6) by expressing EgDes8 gene. And subsequently, the activity of EgDes8 was examined by gas chromatography.

Result

We integrate one copy of codon-optimized EgElo8 gene from Euglena gracilis under the control of strong promoter PTEF into the genome to obtain the engineered strain Po1f-1 by non-homologous End Joining (NHEJ). The percentage of eicosadienoic acid (EDA; C20: 2n-6) and DGLA were 20.8% and 8.5%, respectively(fig:po1f-1).
