desA

Gene
desA
Protein
Sphingolipid 10-desaturase
Organism
Thalassiosira pseudonana
Length
515 amino acids
Function
Fatty acid desaturase that catalyzes the introduction of the third double bond at the Delta(10) position in d18:3Delta4,8,10 triunsaturated sphingolipid long fatty acid chains. The cytochrome b5 domain probably acts as the direct electron donor to the active site of the desaturase.
Similarity
Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.

Protein
Syringate O-demethylase
Organism
Sphingobium sp. (strain NBRC 103272 / SYK-6)
Length
462 amino acids
Function
Involved in the catabolism of syringate. Catalyzes the conversion of syringate to 3-O-methylgallate (3MGA) in the presence of tetrahydrofolate. Has weak activity with vanillate and 3-O-methylgallate.
Similarity
Belongs to the GcvT family.

Protein
Delta(12)-fatty-acid desaturase
Organism
Arthrospira platensis
Length
351 amino acids
Function
Can introduce a second cis double bond at the Delta(12) position of fatty acid bound to membranes glycerolipids. This enzyme is involved in chilling tolerance because the phase transition temperature of lipids of cellular membranes depends on the degree of unsaturation of fatty acids of the membrane lipids.
Similarity
Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.
