| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for producing polyunsaturated fatty acids in an organism by introducing nucleic acids coding for polypeptides with acyl-CoA:lysophospholipid-acyl transferase activity into the organism. Advantageously, said nucleic acid sequences can optionally be expressed in the transgenic organism along with additional nucleic acid sequences coding for polypeptides of fatty acid metabolism or lipid metabolism biosynthesis. The invention also relates to the nucleic acid sequences, nucleic acid structures containing said nucleic acid sequences, vectors containing the inventive nucleic acid sequences, and/or the nucleic acid structures and transgenic organisms containing said nucleic acid sequences, nucleic acid structures, and/or vectors. The invention further relates to oils, lipids, and/or fatty acids that are produced according the inventive method, and the use thereof. |
