摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing multiply-unsaturated fatty acids in an organism into which nucleic acids have been introduced, the nucleic acids encoding polypeptides with Δ-5 elongase activity.SOLUTION: The method for the production of an oil and/or triacylglyceride which has increased content of long chain multiply-unsaturated fatty acids employs a vector with an isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having Δ-6 desaturase, a Δ-5 desaturase, Δ-4 desaturase and/or Δ-6 elongase activity derived from Thalassiosira, Euglena, or Ostreococcus, and enzymes of an introduced transgenic organism: a microorganism, a nonhuman animal or a plant.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a multiple-unsaturated fatty acid in an organism, into which a nucleic acid coding for a polypeptide having Δ-5 elongase activity is introduced. SOLUTION: There are provided a nucleic acid sequence coding for Δ-6 desaturase, Δ-5 desaturase, Δ-4 desaturase and/or Δ-6 elongase activity and derived from Thalassiosira, Euglena or Ostreococcus, and a genetic construction containing the nucleic acid sequence.
