However, in this report we show that when expressed in yeast cells this enzyme can also catalyze Δ15 desaturation. This results in the production of both linoleic acid (ω6 C18:2Δ9,12) and linolenic acid (ω3 C18:3Δ9,12,15) from oleic acid (C18:1Δ9) substrate, and hexadecadienoic acid (ω4 C16:2Δ9,12) and hexadecatrienoic acid (ω1 C16:3Δ9,12,15) from palmitoleic acid (C16:1Δ9) substrate. In addition, this enzyme can also produce C14:2Δ9,12, C15:2Δ9,12, C17:2Δ9,12, and C18:4Δ6,9,12,15 when C14:1Δ9, C15:1Δ9, C17:1Δ9, and C18:3Δ6,9,12 substrates are available in yeast cells. Mass spectrometry analysis of 2,4-dimethyloxazoline modification of fatty acid methyl esters confirms the positions of all newly formed double bonds. These results indicate that when expressed in yeast the C. elegans Δ12-desaturase CeFAT-2 shows a characteristic of a bifunctional Δ12/Δ15-desaturase and has a great deal of elasticity with respect to fatty acid chain length in being able to accept fatty acids ranging from C14 to C18. Interestingly, despite possessing a bifunctional Δ12/Δ15 desaturation activity, phylogenetic analysis suggests that C. elegans Δ12-desaturase CeFAT-2 might have arisen independently from other reported dual Δ12/Δ15-desaturases from fungi and protozoa."xsd:string
