Nucleic Acid Sequences Encoding A Plant Cytoplasmic Protein Involved In Fatty Acyl-Coa Metabolism

View page
US Patent:
6828475, Dec 7, 2004
Filed:
May 30, 1996
Appl. No.:
08/657749
Inventors:
James George Metz - Davis CA
Kathryn Dennis Lardizabal - Woodland CA
Michael W. Lassner - Davis CA
Assignee:
Calgene LLC - Davis CA
International Classification:
A01H 510
US Classification:
800281, 800278, 800287, 800298
Abstract:
By this invention, a plant -ketoacyl-CoA synthase condensing enzyme is provided free from intact cells of said plant and capable of catalyzing the production of very long chain fatty acid molecules. Also contemplated are constructs comprising the nucleic acid sequence and a heterologous DNA sequence not naturally associated with the condensing enzyme encoding sequences, and which provide for at least transcription of a plant condensing enzyme encoding sequence in a host cell. In this fashion very long chain fatty acid molecules may be produced in a plant cell. Included are methods of modifying the composition of very long chain fatty acid molecules in a plant cell.

Abstract:
Provided are recombinant constructs comprising DNA sequences encoding enzymes effective in altering the biosynthesis and accumulation of sterol compounds and tocopherols in transgenic plants. Also provided are methods of using such constructs to produce transgenic plants, seeds of which contain elevated levels of sitostanol and/or sitostanol esters, and α-tocopherol, as well as reduced levels of campesterol and campestanol and their corresponding esters. These seeds also contain the novel sterol brassicastanol. Oil obtained from seeds of such transgenic plants is also provided. This oil can be used to prepare food and pharmaceutical compositions effective in lowering the level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol in blood serum.
