The fatty acid 20:4n-3 was not commercially available, and was generated in vivo by co-expression of d6Elo(Tp). For this purpose, the codon optimized d6Elo(Tp) gene was cloned into the yeast expression vector pESC-Leu under the control of the Gal1 promoter. Yeast strain INVSc1 (Invitrogen) was co-transformed with pESC-Leu containing d6Elo(Tp) and with pYES2.1/V5-His-TOPO containing other desaturase and elongase genes. Induction with galactose therefore resulted in the expression of d6Elo(Tp) and a second enzyme. Upon feeding with stearidonic acid (SDA, 18:4n-3), 20:4n-3 produced by d6Elo(Tp) was available as a substrate for the desaturase or elongase under investigation.
Pyes2.1 v5 his topo
The PYES2.1/V5-His-TOPO is a plasmid vector designed for the expression and purification of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. It features a T7 promoter for high-level protein expression and a V5 epitope tag and a 6xHis tag for detection and purification of the expressed protein.

Generating re-integrant control strain for C. dubliniensis och1Δ
The S. cerevisiae optimized, galactose-inducible protein expression vector pYES2.1/V5-His-TOPO (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK) was used to express S. cerevisiae OCH1 in the S. cerevisiae och1Δ null mutant strain. The S. cerevisiae OCH1 ORF was amplified by PCR (primer pair 5′-ATGTCTAGGAAGTTGTCCCACCTGA and 5′- GATGCTGATAAAAATGCAGGTCATAAATAA) and ligated into the pYES2.1/V5-His-TOPO vector according to manufacturers’ instructions and the construction used to transform Escherichia coli TOP10 cells (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK). The construction of pYES2.1/V5-His-TOPO was confirmed by sequencing and used to transform S. cerevisiae och1Δ null mutant.
Characterizing Elongase Function in A. thaliana
Example 49
To characterize the function of the A. thaliana elongases, the open reading frames of the DNAs in question were cloned downstream of the galactose-inducible GAL1 promoter of pYES2.1/V5-His-TOPO (Invitrogen), giving rise to pAt60 and pAt70.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 334 was transformed by electroporation (1500 V) with the vector pAt60 and pAt70, respectively. A yeast which was transformed with the blank vector pYES2.1 was used as the control. The transformed yeasts were selected on complete minimal dropout uracil medium (CMdum) agar plates supplemented with 2% glucose. After the selection, in each case three transformants were selected for the further functional expression.
To express the At elongases, precultures of in each case 5 ml of dropout uracil CMdum liquid medium supplemented with 2% (w/v) raffinose were inoculated with the selected transformants and incubated for 2 days at 30° C., 200 rpm.
5 ml of liquid CMdum medium (without uracil) supplemented with 2% raffinose and 300 μM of various fatty acids were then inoculated with the precultures to an OD600 of 0.05. The expression was induced by addition of 2% (w/v) galactose. The cultures were incubated for a further 96 hours at 20° C.

Further desaturase genes from Ostreococcus can be cloned analogously.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
