Creation of Hansenula polymorpha fatty acid auxotrophic mutants for genetic study of fatty acid biosynthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three groups of Hansenula polymorpha fatty acid auxotrophic mutants were screened by their fatty acid requirement for growth. The mutants are saturated fatty acid auxotrophic mutants (Sfa), monounsaturated fatty acid auxotrophic mutants (Mfa) and polyunsaturated fatty acid auxotrophic mutants (Pfa) which required saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, respectively. All Sfa mutants could grow on the media supplemented with C14:0 but not grow on the media with neither C16:0 nor C18:0. By fatty acid analysis, two of the Sfa mutants, S7 and S16, showed a significant difference in the fatty acid composition. S7 clearly defected in the production of C18:2Δ9,12 and C18:3Δ9,12,15, while S16 significantly accumulated medium-chain saturated fatty acids, C12:0 and C14:0. Mfa and Pfa mutants could grow on the media supplemented with monounsaturated fatty acids better than supplemented with polyunsaturated fatty acids. The mutants obtained in this study could be used as tools for studying in genes involved in the fatty acid synthesis and biological effect of fatty acids.

Fatty acid elongation defective mutant was isolated from the ethyl methanesulfonate treated Hansenula polymorpha based on the growth ability. Using biochemical and genetic approaches, the mutant was characterized. When compared with the fatty acid phenotype of the parental strain, the differences in profile and content of fatty acids in V1 mutant were found. In this V1 mutant, polyunsaturated f...

The biosynthetic pathways of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids consist of many steps controlled by various enzymes. One of the methods for improving oil quality is to change the fatty acid profile through genetic manipulation which requires isolation and characterization of the genes and other cis-acting elements, such as the promoter, involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. b-ketoacyl-CoA syn...

Phytic acid is the dominant form of phosphorous in plant seeds. However, phytic acid cannot beutilized by animals and causes them serious phosphate deficiency. Utilization of phytase as ananimal feed additive can affect liberation of phosphor and its mineral availability. In this study,heterologous expression of the A. niger phyA gene was investigated in the methylotrophic yeastsP. pastoris and...

Background: Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a key enzyme that converts saturated fatty acids (SFAs) to monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in fat biosynthesis. Despite being crucial for interpreting SCDs’ roles across species, the evolutionary relationship of SCD proteins across species has yet to be elucidated. This study aims to present this evolutionary relationship based on amino aci...

Aromatic amino acid auxotrophs of the methanol-utilizing yeast Hansenula polymorpha were effectively selected by the use of nystatin and a medium that inhibits the growth of tyrosine auxotrophs. The procedure resulted in a frequency of aromatic auxotrophs of 2% of survivors and an enrichment of 20-fold. The new procedure also takes less time than traditional procedures. Of the auxotrophic mutan...
