| Abstract | The green algaMyrmecia incisais rich in arachidonic acid (ArA), which mainly stores in lipid droplets in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG). In the de novo biosynthesis of TAG, diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final and committed step as a rate-limiting enzyme. Previously, our lab has reported the first DGAT inM. incisa, and in this study, a new DGAT was further identified. Through homology search against our transcriptome database and annotation, a new contig corresponding to the putative DGAT2 was targeted, whose full-length cDNA was cloned by RACE and designated asMiDGAT2C. For this new MiDGAT2C, bioinformatics analyses revealed the presence of multiple conserved amino acid residues and sequences. Its function to synthesize TAG was determined by complementation assay using the TAG-deficient yeast system. Besides, MiDGAT2C was compared with other MiDGATs with respect to their substrate preference. Results of fatty acid feeding and in vitro enzymatic assays indicated diverse substrate specificities among MiDGAT members. While MiDGAT2C showed no activity on ArA, MiDGAT2A made the most contribution to incorporate ArA into TAG. Findings of this study expand our knowledge on the molecular basis of DGAT, shedding more light onM. incisaas a promising feedstock for ArA-rich TAG. |
