- Membrane synthesis is a well characterized process involving a number of components, including lipids as part of the bilayer membrane.
- the production of new fatty acids, such as PUFAs, can therefore create new properties of membrane functions within a cell or an organism.
- Cell membranes serve a variety of functions in a cell. First and foremost, a membrane separates the contents of a cell from its surroundings, thereby giving the cell integrity. Membranes can also serve as barriers to the inflow of dangerous or undesirable compounds and also to the outflow of desired compounds.
- Lipid synthesis can be divided into two sections: the synthesis of fatty acids and their binding to sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and the addition or modification of a polar head group.
- Common lipids used in membranes include phospholipids, glycolipids, sphingolipids and phosphoglycerides.
- Fatty acid synthesis begins with the conversion of acetyl-CoA either into malonyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA-carboxylase or into acetyl-ACP by acetyltransacylase.
- Precursors for PUFA biosynthesis are, for example, palmitoleic acid, linoleic and linolenic acid. These Ci ⁇ and / or C ⁇ 8 carbon fatty acids must be extended to C 2 o and C 2 so that fatty acids of the Eicosa and Docosa chain type are obtained. This elongation is advantageously carried out with the nucleic acids according to the invention or with the proteins encoded by these nucleic acids.

- fatty acids have to be transported after various modifications and incorporated into the triacylglycerol storage lipid.
- Another important step in lipid synthesis is the transfer of fatty acids to the polar head groups, for example by glycerol fatty acid acyltransferase
- the expression of the nucleic acids according to the invention in the different host organisms not only changes the composition of the membrane lipids as a whole, but also changes the composition of all compounds in the host cell which contain unsaturated fatty acids compared to the original host cells which the nucleic acids do not or do not contain these amounts. These changes are more pronounced in host organisms, for example plant cells which do not naturally contain the proteins or enzymes encoded by the nucleic acids.
- the expression of the nucleic acids results in new lipid compositions which are a further aspect of the invention.

- the PSE nucleic acid molecules according to the invention have a multitude of uses.
- the invention provides the nucleic acid sequences of a number of Phytophthora infestans genes; by probing the extracted genomic DNA of a culture of a unitary or mixed population of microorganisms under stringent conditions with a probe spanning a portion or part of a Phytophthora infestans gene unique to that organism, one can determine whether this organism is present.
- Phytophthora infestans itself is not used for the commercial production of polyunsaturated acids, but oomycetes are principally suitable for the production of PUFAs. Therefore, PSE-related DNA sequences are particularly suitable for use in PUFA production in other organisms.
- nucleic acid and protein molecules according to the invention can serve as markers for specific regions of the genome. This is not only suitable for mapping the genome, but also for functional studies of Phytophthora infestans proteins. For example, to identify the genome region to which a particular DNA-binding protein from Phytophthora infestans_b binds, the Phytophthora infestans genome could be cleaved and the fragments incubated with the DNA-binding protein.
- nucleic acid molecules according to the invention can additionally be probed with the nucleic acid molecules according to the invention, preferably with easily detectable labels; the binding of such a nucleic acid molecule to the genome fragment enables the fragment to be located on the genome map of Phytophthora infestans and, if this is done several times with different enzymes, facilitates a quick determination of the nucleic acid sequence to which the protein binds.
- the nucleic acid molecules according to the invention can also be sufficiently homologous to the sequences of related species that these nucleic acid molecules can serve as markers for the construction of a genomic map in related fungi.

- the metabolic and transport processes in which the molecules according to the invention are involved are used by many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; by comparing the sequences of the nucleic acid molecules according to the invention with those which code similar enzymes from other organisms, the degree of evolutionary kinship of the organisms can be determined. Accordingly, such a comparison enables determination of which sequence regions are conserved and which are not, which can be helpful in determining regions of the protein which are essential for the enzyme function. This type of determination is valuable for protein engineering studies and can provide an indication of how much mutagenesis the protein can tolerate without losing function.
- the manipulation of the PSE nucleic acid molecules according to the invention can lead to the production of PSEs with functional differences from the wild-type PSEs.
- the efficiency or activity of these proteins can be improved, they can be present in the cell in larger numbers than usual, or their efficiency or activity can be reduced.
- Improved efficiency or activity means, for example, that the enzyme has a higher selectivity and / or activity, preferably an at least 10% higher, particularly preferably an at least 20% higher activity, very particularly preferably an at least 30% higher activity than the original enzyme.
- Fatty acids such as PUFAs and lipids containing PUFAs are themselves desirable fine chemicals;
- the yield, production and / / or increase the efficiency of the production of fatty acid and lipid molecules in ciliates, algae, plants, fungi, yeasts or other microorganisms are themselves desirable fine chemicals;
- the manipulation of one or more PSE genes according to the invention can likewise lead to PSEs with modified activities which indirectly influence the production of one or more desired fine chemicals from algae, plants, ciliates or fungi.
- the normal biochemical metabolic processes lead, for example, to the production of a large number of waste products (e.g. hydrogen peroxide and other reactive oxygen species) which can actively disrupt these metabolic processes (e.g. nitrated peroxynitrite, as is known, tyrosine side chains, whereby some enzymes are inactivated with tyrosine in the active center (Groves , JT (1999) Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol. 3 (2), -226-235)).
- the cells used for large-scale fermentative production are optimized for the overproduction of one or more fine chemicals and can therefore produce more waste products than is usual for a wild-type cell.
- optimizing the activity of one or more PSEs according to the invention which are involved in the export of fall molecules are involved, one can improve the viability of the cell and maintain an efficient metabolic activity.
- the presence of high intracellular amounts of the desired fine chemical can actually be toxic to the cell, so that by increasing the ability of the cell to secrete these compounds, the viability of the cell can be improved.
- the PSEs according to the invention can also be manipulated in such a way that the relative amounts of different lipid and fatty acid molecules are changed. This can have a decisive impact on the lipid composition of the cell membrane. Because each type of lipid has different physical properties, changing the lipid composition of a membrane can significantly change membrane fluidity. Changes in membrane fluidity can affect the transport of molecules across the membrane, which, as explained above, can modify the export of waste products or the fine chemicals produced or the import of necessary nutrients. These changes in membrane fluidity can also have a decisive impact on the integrity of the cell; Cells with comparatively weaker membranes are more susceptible to abiotic and biotic stress conditions, which can damage or kill the cell.
- the nucleic acid and protein molecules according to the invention can be used to generate recombinant or transgenic algae, ciliates, plants, non-human animals, fungi or other microorganisms such as C. glutamicum express mutant PSE nucleic acid and protein molecules so that the yield, production and / or efficiency of production of a desired compound is improved.

- Example 13 Expression constructs in heterologous microbial systems
- the Escherichia coli strain XL1 Blue MRF 'kan (Stratagene) was used for subcloning the new elongase piPSEl from Phytophthora infestans.
- E. coli was grown in Luria Bertini broth (LB, Duchefa, Haarlem, The Netherlands) at 37 ° C. If necessary, ampicillin (100 mg / liter) was added and 1.5% agar (w / v) was added for LB solid media. S.
- cerevisiae was at 30 ° C either in YPG medium or in complete minimal medium without uracil (CMdum; see: Ausubel, FM, Brent, R., Kingston, RE, Moore, DD, Seidman, JG, Smith, JA, Struhl, K., Albright, LB, Coen, DM, and Varki, A. (1995) Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York) grown with either 2% (w / v) raffinose or glucose , For solid media, 2% (w / v) Bacto ⁇ Agar (Difco) was added. The plasmids used for cloning and expression were pUC18 (Pharmacia) and pYES2 (Invitrogen Co.).
- the Phytophthora infestans - cDNA clone piPSEl which encodes the PUFA-specific elongase (PSE1) gene, was first modified to include a Kpnl restriction site and the yeast consensus sequence for highly efficient translation (Kozak , M. (1986) Point mutations define a sequence flanking the AUG initiator codon that modulates translation by eukaryotic riboso es, Cell 44, 283-292) next to the start codon and one
- Xbal restriction portions flanking the stop codon were obtained.
- a pair of primers complementary to its 5 'and 3' ends were synthesized to amplify the open reading frame.
- the PCR reaction was performed using plasmid DNA as a template in one
- the correct size of the amplified DNA fragment of 883 bp was confirmed by agarose TBE gel electrophoresis.
- the amplified DNA was extracted from the gel with the QIAquick gel extraction kit (QIAGEN) and ligated into the Smal restriction site of the dephosphorylated vector pUC18 using the Sure Clone Ligation Kit (Pharmacia) to obtain pUCPSEl.

- the plasmid DNA from pUC-PSEl was also digested with Kpnl / Xbal and the resulting -900 bp fragment into the Kpnl / Xbal restriction site of dephosphorylated yeast E. coli shuttle vector pYES2 ligated, whereby pY2PSEl was obtained.
- the orientation of the DNA fragment in the vector was checked by HindIII cleavage.
- One clone was grown for DNA preparation Maxi with the Nucleobond ® AX 500 plasmid DNA extraction kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düringen).
- Saccharomyces INVScl was transformed with pY2PSEl and pYES2 using a modified PEG / lithium acetate protocol (Ausubel et al., 1995). After selection on CMdum agar plates with 2% glucose, four pY2PSEll transformants (pY2PSEla-d) and one pYES2 transformant were selected for further cultivation and functional expression.
- CMdum liquid medium with 2% raffinose and 1% (vol. / Vol.) Tergitol NP-40 with ⁇ -linoleic acid ( ⁇ -18: 3) were mixed to a final concentration of 0.003% (wt. / Vol. ) enriched.
