Título: | Identification of a Δ5-like Fatty Acyl Desaturase from the Cephalopod Octopus vulgaris (Cuvier 1797) Involved in the Biosynthesis of Essential Fatty Acids |
Autor: | Monroig, Óscar CSIC ORCID; Navarro, Juan Carlos CSIC ORCID ; Dick, James R.; Alemany, Frederic; Tocher, Douglas R. | Fecha de publicación: | 2012 | Editor: | Springer Nature | Citación: | Marine Biotechnology 14(4): 411-422 (2012) | Resumen: | Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) have been identified as essential compounds for common octopus (Octopus vulgaris), but precise dietary requirements have not been determined due, in part, to the inherent difficulties of performing feeding trials on paralarvae. Our objective is to establish the essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements for paralarval stages of the common octopus through characterisation of the enzymes of endogenous LC-PUFA biosynthetic pathways. In this study, we isolated a cDNA with high homology to fatty acyl desaturases (Fad). Functional characterisation in recombinant yeast showed that the octopus Fad exhibited Δ5-desaturation activity towards saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acyl substrates. Thus, it efficiently converted the yeast's endogenous 16:0 and 18:0 to 16:1n-11 and 18:1n-13, respectively, and desaturated exogenously added PUFA substrates 20:4n-3 and 20:3n-6 to 20:5n-3 (EPA) and 20:4n-6 (ARA), respectively. Although the Δ5 Fad enables common octopus to produce EPA and ARA, the low availability of its adequate substrates 20:4n-3 and 20:3n-6, either in the diet or by limited endogenous synthesis from C 18 PUFA, might indicate that EPA and ARA are indeed EFA for this species. Interestingly, the octopus Δ5 Fad can also participate in the biosynthesis of non-methylene-interrupted FA, PUFA that are generally uncommon in vertebrates but have been found previously in marine invertebrates, including molluscs, and now also confirmed to be present in specific tissues of common octopus. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/64800 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10126-011-9423-2 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1007/s10126-011-9423-2 issn: 1436-2228 e-issn: 1436-2236 |
