Dominant Elongase Activity of Elovl5a but Higher Expression of Elovl5b in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Most diploid freshwater and marine fish encode one elovl5 elongase, having substrate specificity and activities towards C18, C20 and C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).

The VLCFA elongase gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana: phylogenetic analysis, 3D modelling and expression profiling

open access: yesPlant Molecular Biology, 2008
As precursors of wax compounds, very long chain fatty acids participate in the limitation of non-stomatal water loss and the prevention of pathogen attacks. They also serve as energy storage in seeds and as membrane building blocks. Their biosynthesis is

A new elongase selectively expressed in Drosophila male reproductive system

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2005
We have identified an elongase gene, elo68alpha, which is specifically transcribed in males. We have characterized the elo68alpha open reading frame, expressed it in fasDelta elo1Delta yeast and showed that it could elongate myristoleic and palmitoleic acids, therefore sharing an Elo1 specificity.

Two Fatty Acid Elongases Possessing C18-Δ6/C18-Δ9/C20-Δ5 or C16-Δ9 Elongase Activity in Thraustochytrium sp. ATCC 26185

Marine Biotechnology, 2013
Thraustochytrids, unicellular eukaryotic marine protists, accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids. Here, we report the molecular cloning and functional characterization of two fatty acid elongase genes (designated tselo1 and tselo2), which could be involved in the desaturase/elongase (standard) pathway in Thraustochytrium sp. ATCC 26185.

Fatty acid elongases in mammals: Their regulation and roles in metabolism

Progress in Lipid Research, 2006
A significant amount of the fatty acids synthesized by the cytosolic enzyme complex fatty acid synthase (FAS) or taken up by the diet are further elongated into very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) in a four-step reaction cycle by membrane-bound enzymes predominantly located in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Identification and characterization of two fatty acid elongases in Lipomyces starkeyi

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020
The oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi is a potential cost-effective source for the production of microbial lipids. Fatty acid elongases have vital roles in the syntheses of long-chain fatty acids. In this study, two genes encoding fatty acid elongases of L. starkeyi, LsELO1, and LsELO2 were identified and characterized.

Biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in marine fish: Characterization of an Elovl4-like elongase from cobia Rachycentron canadum and activation of the pathway during early life stages [PDF]

open access: yesAquaculture, 2011
Marine fish, unlike freshwater species, have been generally considered to have a limited ability to biosynthesize long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) from C18 precursors due to apparent limited enzymatic activities involved in the pathway ...
