The clone's of coding △ 5-fatty acid desaturase Mortierella alpina expression of gene
For the △ 5-fatty acid desaturase of having confirmed the L11 sequence encoding, with the cDNA subclone to Invitrogen TMAmong the Yeast expression carrier pYES2 that provides, make it under the control of GAL4 polymerase promoter, produce plasmid pYES2/L11.Use Promega TMLink coupled is transcribed and translation system in-vitro transcription-translation pYES2/L11, checks the expression of L11.Produce the translation product of 35S methionine(Met) mark, it is carried out SDS PAGE, and show by the radioautograph exposure.The estimation molecular weight of this product is 55-60kD, and does not have the control plasmid pYES2 of inset can not produce any markd translation product.
Construction pYES2/L11 is transformed in the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae, on the YCA substratum of uridylic disappearance, grows.But rely on the existence of the URA3 selective marker that pYES2/L11 carries to select transformant, adding semi-lactosi to ultimate density is 1%mM, induces L11 to express.Make culture grow overnight in the presence of 0.5mM two high gamma linolenic acid esters, washing composition (1%tergitolNP-40) and 2% raffinose.At 0,4 and 16 hour results equal portions.GC by methyl esters analyzes the zymic total fatty acids.The 1M HCl that joins with methyl alcohol in 80 ℃ to the inductive sample and not the lipid of inductive control sample carried out transmethylaseization 1 hour.With hexane extraction fatty acid methyl ester (FAMES).With the Hewlett Packard 58804 serial gas-chromatographies that 25M * 0.32mm RSL-500bp bonded capillary column and flame ionization detector are housed FAME being carried out GC analyzes.
When to carry plasmid pYes2/L11 and the yeast of growth in the presence of semi-lactosi and two high gamma linolenic acid in isolated total fatty acids methyl esters carry out GC when analyzing, observe extra peak (see figure 3) in addition.This extra peak has and the identical residence time of arachidonic acid standard substance (Sigma), and this shows that transgenic yeast can make 5 dehydrogenations of △ of two high gamma linolenic acid.And in control sample (transforming), do not observe such peak (Fig. 3) with pYes2.Confirm the identity at this extra peak with GCMS (Kratos MS80RFA operates under the ionization voltage of 70eV, and sweep limit is 500-40 dalton), it is arachidonic acid that the result clearly identifies this compound.
The coded functional polypeptide of dna sequence dna of this proof Mortierella alpina has participated in arachidonic synthetic in the presence of semi-lactosi and two high gamma linolenic acid esters.
The clone and the order-checking of C.elegans △ 5-fatty acid desaturase gene
The present inventor has identified earlier and different fungi △ 5 and the △ 6-fatty acid desaturases of identifying in the past from the plant and animal kind of microsome desaturase.Difference is to exist one and electron donor albuminous cell pigment b5 homologous N-end extension sequence.
To fungi (Mortierella alpina) △ 5-fatty acid desaturase and C.elegans △ 6-fatty acid desaturase (in clay WO8D2 (preserving number Z70271)) when carrying out specificity analysis, the present inventor identifies the relevant sequence fatty acid desaturase of may encoding also containing on the clay T13F2.1 of C.elegans DNA (preserving number Z81122).
The analysis of this sequence (discloses clay WO8D2 and T13F2 contains overlapping areas with Genefinder program (Wilson, people such as R., (1994) Nature, 368.32-38)).In addition, find that clay T13F2 contains an open reading frame (ORF) (called after T13F2.1), it contains three " Histidine box " features of N terminal cell pigment b5 structural domain (determining by His-Pro-Gly-Gly diagnostic motif) and all microsome desaturases.In addition, this desaturase of inferring contains the 3rd Histidine box of variation, and the displacement of H → Q takes place first Histidine in the His-X-X-His-His motif.The displacement of this L-glutamic acid be present in the plant and animal △ 6-fatty acid desaturase and the fungi △ 5-fatty acid desaturase of Mortierella alpina in.
Can determine the desaturase ORF that infers by overlapping between clay T13F2 and the WO8D2, the proximity of T13F2.1 and △ 6-fatty acid desaturase, the result discloses these two sequences arranged in series in karyomit(e) V, 990 bases of being separated by from the expectation terminator codon of T13F2.1 to the initial methionine triplet of △ 6-fatty acid desaturase.
Owing to be dispersed with a plurality of introns among the sequential analysis indication T13F2.1 ORF, so the allos functional expression of genomic dna is infeasible.Therefore, with the partial cDNA Cloning of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification corresponding to the big expectation exon of T13F2.1 ORF 5 ' end, PCR adopts following primer CEFOR and CEREV:

The molecular weight of the translation product that obtains from pYES2/L4 is about 57000, and does not have the control vector pYES2 of inset not produce translation product.
For functional selection is carried out in the L4 coding region, with lithium acetate method (Elble R. (1992) Bio Techniques13 18-20) with recombinant plasmid transformed in yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae DBY746.Containing raffinose as carbon source and be added into linolic acid (18: 2 △ 9.12) or two-Gao-gamma-linolenic acid (C20: 3 △ 8,13,14) substratum in the presence of the 1%tergitol tensio-active agent culturing cell spend the night (described in people such as Napier (1998) Bioehem.J.330 611-614).Do not have these lipid acid in the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae, but these lipid acid are the specific substrates of △ 6 or △ 5 desaturases respectively.Add semi-lactosi to 1%, induce the L4 coding region to begin to express from the GAL1 promotor of carrier.Made the culture continued growth 16 hours, and took out equal portions then lipid acid is carried out the GC analysis.Analyze the total fatty acids from yeast culture, extract with methyl esters gas-chromatography (GC).The 1M HCl that joins with methyl alcohol makes lipid in 80 ℃ of transmethylaseizations 1 hour, then with hexane extraction fatty acid methyl ester (FAME).With Hewlett Packard 58804 series gas chromatograph that 25M * 0.32mm RSL-500bp bonded capillary column and flame ionization detector are housed FAME being carried out GC analyzes.Compare by residence time, identified lipid acid with FAME standard substance (Sigma).Estimate the relative percentage ratio of lipid acid from peak area.Identify arachidonic acid with GC-MS (use Kratos MS80RFA, operate, sweep limit is 500-40 dalton) under the ionization voltage of 70eV.Fig. 4 shows the GC analytical results of the fatty acid methyl ester of transformed yeast bacterial strain.Compare with the empty carrier contrast, an extra peak is obviously arranged from the track that pYES2/L4 obtained of induced growth in the presence of two-Gao-gamma-linolenic acid.This peak is not present in the not inductive culture of growing on two-Gao-gamma-linolenic acid yet, importantly should also be noted that, the pYES2/L4 of growth does not produce any new peak in the presence of linolic acid, and this shows that this kind lipid acid is not the substrate of the enzyme of C.elegans cDNA coding.The residence time at this extra peak is with methyl-the arachidonic acid standard substance are identical reliably.With GCMS (gaschromatographic mass spectrometry method) lipid acid that two-Gao-gamma-linolenic acid produces is made further specificity analysis, be accredited as arachidonic acid.Therefore, the result shows that plasmid pYES2/L4 transformed yeast cells has obtained functional △ 5-desaturase activity, now can be from the synthetic arachidonic acid of substrate two-Gao-gamma-linolenic acid.It seems that the △ 5-desaturase in this transformed yeast be a kind of effective catalyzer.
This proved C.elegans dna sequence encoding a kind of functional polypeptide, this polypeptide can participate in synthetic arachidonic acid in the presence of semi-lactosi and two-Gao-gamma-linolenic acid.
