Abstract
Diagrammatic representation of enzymatic activities involved in hydroxy fatty acids synthesis. Enzymatic steps in yeast cells or in plant cells are grouped in two rectangular boxes. C16:1, C16:2, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C20:1, C16:1-OH, 18:1-OH, C18:2-OH are C16:1Î9, C16:2Î9,12, C18:1Î9, C18:2Î9,12, C18:3Î9,12,15, C20:1Î11, 12OH-C16:1Î9, 12OH-18:1Î9 and 12OH-C18:2Î9,15. The isolated Î12-desaturase enzymes (HbFAD2s) can desaturate both C16:1Î9 and C18:1Î9 substrates, and the two isolated Hiptage benghalensis hydroxylases HbFAH12-1 and HbFAH12-2 can hydroxylate these substrates. 12OH-18:1Î9 can be desaturated by the same FAD3 enzyme that desaturates C18:2Î9,12 into C18:3Î9,12,15 in plant.
