Problems solved by technology

Most of the fatty acids in Y. lipolytica are C16 and C18 fatty acids. Due to the lack of carbon chain elongase and fatty acid desaturase necessary for the synthesis of ultra-long chain monounsaturated fatty acids, wild strains cannot synthesize nervonic acid.
Qiao Jianwen introduced fatty acid elongase (AtFAE1, BtFAE1 and CgKCS), desaturase (SCD) and diglyceride acyltransferase (DGAT1) into Yarrowia lipolytica through genetic engineering, and the constructed recombinant yeast cells can produce Nervous acid, but its content only accounts for 1.5% of the total oil content in cells, which is difficult to meet industrial needs

Abstract

The invention discloses an engineered yeast strain producing nervonic acid. The yeast strain overexpresses genes related to enzymes required for the synthesis of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids such as fatty acid elongase, desaturase, and diglyceride acyltransferase, and any Optionally, the triglyceride synthesis and decomposition pathway, the sphingomyelin synthesis and decomposition pathway, the lipid subcellular level synthesis and decomposition pathway, and the redox balance pathway of the strain are further regulated. The recombinant yeast strain can produce microbial oil, and the content of the prepared nervonic acid accounts for 39.6% of the total fatty acid content.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology. More specifically, the present invention relates to an engineered recombinant yeast strain capable of efficiently producing nervonic acid (cis-15-tetracosanemonoic acid, also known as squalic acid, C24:1, Δ15) at a high concentration. Background technique [0002] Unsaturated fatty acids are mostly essential fatty acids for the human body, which can regulate blood lipids, clear blood clots, nourish the brain, relieve inflammation, etc., mainly including monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Among them, very long chain monounsaturated fatty acid (VLCMFA) is an unsaturated fatty acid with more than 18 carbon atoms in the main carbon chain and only one double bond. The common one is cod oleic acid (Eicosenoic acid , C20:1Δ11), erucic acid (C22:1Δ13), nervonic acid (C24:1Δ15) and Ximenynic acid (C26:1Δ17). Ultra-long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids have unique medicinal effects...
