Temperature and oxygen regulation of microsomal oleate desaturase (FAD2) from sunflower.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of temperature and oxygen on the in vivo oleate desaturation and microsomal oleate desaturase (FAD2) activity was studied in peeled developing sunflower seeds. Using an oxygen concentration that was saturating for FAD2 enzyme, the amount of linoleic acid increased for all studied temperatures, being maximal at 20 degrees C. Under these conditions, FAD2 activity increased at the beginning of the incubation, remaining constant for the rest of the time, but reaching a lower level at 30 degrees C. Anoxia brought about a decrease in the FAD2 activity for all studied temperatures, becoming faster as the temperature increased. All these data suggest that temperature and oxygen control the level of FAD2 activity by separate mechanisms.

Temperature-dependent endogenous oxygen concentration regulates microsomal oleate desaturase in developing sunflower seeds.
Oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine desaturase (FAD2) is a key enzyme involved in fatty acid desaturation in oilseeds, which is affected by environmental temperature. The results of this study show that FAD2 is regulated in vivo via temperature-dependent endogenous oxygen concentrations in developing sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seeds. By combining in vivo oxygen profiling, in situ hybridization of ...
متن کاملArabidopsis FAD2 gene encodes the enzyme that is essential for polyunsaturated lipid synthesis.
The polyunsaturated fatty acids linoleate and alpha-linolenate are important membrane components and are the essential fatty acids of human nutrition. The major enzyme responsible for the synthesis of these compounds is the plant oleate desaturase of the endoplasmic reticulum, and its activity is controlled in Arabidopsis by the fatty acid desaturation 2 (fad2) locus. A fad2 allele was identifi...

The functional expression in yeast of the Arabidopsis thaliana FAD2 gene, encoding the extraplastidial oleate desaturase (1-acyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine delta 12-desaturase) is reported. Dienoic fatty acids constituted up to 11% (w/w) of the total fatty acids in transformed Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and were confirmed to be linoleic acid and delta 9, delta 12-hexadecadienoic a...

A selection o f lipids from achenes, cotyledons after germination, roots and leaves o f normal and high oleic varieties o f sunflower were analyzed with regard to their fatty acid profiles. The lipids included triacylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine as ER-made components and monoand digalactosyl diacylglycerol as plastid-localized glycolipids. A comparison o f fatty acid pat terns showed that ...

Lipid modifying enzymes play a key role in the development of cold stress tolerance in cold-resistant plants such as cereals. However, little is known about the role of the endogenous enzymes in cold-sensitive species such as cotton. Delta 12 fatty acid desaturases (FAD2), known to participate in adaptation to low temperatures through acyl chain modifications were used in gene expression studie...
