Disruption of lig4 improves gene targeting efficiency in the oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina 1S-4.
The oil-producing zygomycete Mortierella alpina 1S-4 is known to accumulate beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids. We identified the lig4 gene that encodes for a DNA ligase 4 homolog, which functions to repair double strand breaks by non-homologous end joining. We disrupted the lig4 gene to improve the gene targeting efficiency in M. alpina. The M. alpina 1S-4 Δlig4 strains showed no defect in...
متن کاملGenome Characterization of the Oleaginous Fungus Mortierella alpina
Mortierella alpina is an oleaginous fungus which can produce lipids accounting for up to 50% of its dry weight in the form of triacylglycerols. It is used commercially for the production of arachidonic acid. Using a combination of high throughput sequencing and lipid profiling, we have assembled the M. alpina genome, mapped its lipogenesis pathway and determined its major lipid species. The 38....
متن کاملتراریختی ریسه‌های قارچ چربی‌ساز alpina Mortierella با استفاده از سیستم تراریختی AMT (Agrobacterium Mediated Transformation)
مقدمه: قارچ رشته‌ای Mortierella alpina منبع غنی از اسیدهای چرب غیراشباع به‌خصوص آراشیدونیک اسید است. این ماده پیش‌ساز تولید تعدادی از ایکوزانوئید‌هاست که در رئولوژی خون، فعال‌سازی پلاکت‌ها و عملکرد لوکوسیت‌ها و ویژگی‌های عملکردی غشای سلولی نقش دارد. مواد و روش ها: در این مطالعه انتقال ژن بتا گلوکورونیداز به قارچ M. alpina CBS754/68 با استفاده از باکتری‌های Agrobacterium rhizogenes و Agro...
متن کاملRole of malic enzyme during fatty acid synthesis in the oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina.
The generation of NADPH by malic enzyme (ME) was postulated to be a rate-limiting step during fatty acid synthesis in oleaginous fungi, based primarily on the results from research focusing on ME in Mucor circinelloides. This hypothesis is challenged by a recent study showing that leucine metabolism, rather than ME, is critical for fatty acid synthesis in M. circinelloides. To clarify this, the...
متن کاملAgrobacterium tumefaciens-Mediated Transformation of the Lichen Fungus, Umbilicaria muehlenbergii
Transformation-mediated mutagenesis in both targeted and random manners has been widely applied to decipher gene function in diverse fungi. However, a transformation system has not yet been established for lichen fungi, severely limiting our ability to study their biology and mechanism underpinning symbiosis via gene manipulation. Here, we report the first successful transformation of the liche...
