Malic enzyme (ME) catalyses the oxidative decarboxylation of L-malate to pyruvate and provides NADPH for intracellular metabolism, such as fatty acid synthesis. Here, the mitochondrial ME (mME) gene from Mortierella alpina was homologously over-expressed. Compared with controls, fungal arachidonic acid (ARA; 20:4 n-6) content increased by 60 % without affecting the total fatty acid content. Our results suggest that enhancing mME activity may be an effective mean to increase industrial production of ARA in M. alpina.
苹果酸酶(ME)催化L-苹果酸氧化脱羧生成丙酮酸,并为细胞内代谢(如脂肪酸合成)提供还原型辅酶II(NADPH)。在此,来自高山被孢霉的线粒体苹果酸酶(mME)基因被同源过表达。与对照相比,真菌花生四烯酸(ARA;20:4 n-6)含量增加了60%,而不影响总脂肪酸含量。我们的结果表明,提高mME活性可能是增加高山被孢霉中ARA工业产量的有效手段。
