Associated Literature (AI-based literature mining)

Delta6 fatty acid desaturase; MpDES6 mediates two Delta6-desaturation reactions, linoleic acid (LA; 18:2Delta9,12) to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA;18:3Delta6,9,12) in the n-6 pathway, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3Delta9,12,15) to stearidonic acid (STA; 18:4Delta6,9,12,15) in the n-3 pathway.

Kneeshaw, S., et al. (2022) · PNAS  research experimental subject
Δ6-desaturase in the EPA biosynthetic route. CRISPR Mpdes6 mutants (including double mutants) were analyzed for C20-OPDA and Δ4-dn-OPDA accumulation after wounding.
Kihara H, Tanaka M, Yamato KT, Horibata A, Yamada A, Kita S, Ishizaki K, Kajikawa M, Fukuzawa H, Kohchi T, Akakabe Y, Matsui K. (2014) · Phytochemistry  research experimental subject
A des6 knockout line lacking arachidonic/eicosapentaenoic acid produced almost no C8 volatiles, showing that MpDES6-derived arachidonic acid is the essential precursor of 1-octen-3-ol and related C8 volatiles released on wounding.
Kajikawa M, Yamato KT, Kohzu Y, Nojiri M, Sakuradani E, Shimizu S, Sakai Y, Fukuzawa H, Ohyama K. (2004) · Plant Mol Biol  research experimental subject
Delta-6-desaturase cDNA isolated and functionally characterized; its co-expression with MpELO1 and MpDES5 in Pichia pastoris produced arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids. Delta-6 desaturation appeared to occur in both glycerolipids and the acyl-CoA pool.
Liang, W., et al. (2024) · Plant Physiology  research citation background
Cited as the Delta-6-desaturase required for hexadecatrienoic acid (16:3) biosynthesis in the hexadecanoid pathway; no experimental work here.
Galassi L, Medina-Paz F, Jimenez-Aleman GH. (2026) · Plants (Basel)  review citation background
Bryophyte-specific ER Delta6-desaturase; Mpdes6 is depleted in EPA and lacks C20-OPDA and Delta4-dn-iso-OPDA.
