1.14.19.45

Accepted name:

sn-1 oleoyl-lipid 12-desaturase

Reaction:

a 1-oleoyl-2-acyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + O₂ + 2 H⁺ = a 1-linoleoyl-2-acyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H₂O

Other name(s):

desA (gene name)

Systematic name:

1-oleoyl-2-acyl-[glycerolipid],ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (12,13-cis-dehydrogenating)

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from cyanobacteria, introduces a cis double bond at carbon 12 of oleoyl groups (18:1) attached to the sn-1 position of glycerolipids. The enzyme is a methyl-end desaturase, introducing the new double bond between a pre-existing double bond and the methyl-end of the fatty acid. It is nonspecific with respect to the polar head group of the glycerolipid.
