Venegas-Caleron M, Beaudoin F, Sayanova O, Napier JA: Co-transcribed genes for long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in the protozoon Perkinsus marinus include a plant-like FAE1 3-ketoacyl coenzyme A synthase. J Biol Chem. 2007 Feb 2;282(5):2996-3003. Epub 2006 Nov 8.
The P. marinus FAE1-like elongating activity is sensitive to the herbicide flufenacet, similar to some higher plant 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases, but unable to rescue the yeast elo2Delta/elo3Delta mutant consistent with a role in the elongation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. |
