Desaturases and elongases involved in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in aquatic animals: From genes to functions
Marine ecosystems are rich in “omega-3” long-chain (C20-24) polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). Their production has been historically accepted to derive mostly from marine microbes. This long-standing dogma has been challenged recently by the discovery that numerous invertebrates, mostly with an aquatic life-style, have the enzyme machinery necessary for the de novo biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and, from them, LC-PUFA. The key breakthrough was the detection in these animals of enzymes called “methyl-end desaturases” enabling PUFA de novo biosynthesis. Moreover, other enzymes with pivotal roles in LC-PUFA biosynthesis, including front-end desaturases and elongation of very long- chain fatty acids proteins, have been characterised in several non-vertebrate animal phyla. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the complement and functions of these gene/protein families in aquatic animals, particularly invertebrates and fish. Therefore, we expand and re-define our previous revision of the LC-PUFA biosynthetic enzymes present in chordates to animals as a whole, discussing how key genomic events have determined the diversity and distribution of desaturase and elongase genes in different taxa. We conclude that both invertebrates and fish display active, but markedly different, LC-PUFA biosynthetic gene networks that result from a complex evolutionary path combined with functional diversification and plasticity.
期刊介绍:
The significance of lipids as a fundamental category of biological compounds has been widely acknowledged. The utilization of our understanding in the fields of biochemistry, chemistry, and physiology of lipids has continued to grow in biotechnology, the fats and oils industry, and medicine. Moreover, new aspects such as lipid biophysics, particularly related to membranes and lipoproteins, as well as basic research and applications of liposomes, have emerged. To keep up with these advancements, there is a need for a journal that can evaluate recent progress in specific areas and provide a historical perspective on current research. Progress in Lipid Research serves this purpose.
