gene FADX, sequence comparisons, recombinant expression of enzyme mutant chimeras in the Arabidopsis thaliana fad3fae1 mutant strain, lacks the activity of both the endoplasmic reticulum omega-3 desaturase (FAD3) and the fatty acid elongation 1 (FAE1)-condensing enzyme, as well as elevated levels of linoleic acid | Momordica charantia |

D115E | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows reaction product like the wild-type enzyme, predominantly alpha-eleostearic acid and little punicic acid | Momordica charantia |
G111V | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows reaction product like the wild-type enzyme, predominantly alpha-eleostearic acid and little punicic acid | Momordica charantia |
G111V/D115E | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows reaction product unlike the wild-type enzyme, approximately equal amounts of alpha-eleostearic acidandits isomer, punicic acid | Momordica charantia |

additional information | the wild-type enzyme produces predominantly conjugated alpha-eleostearic acid and little punicic acid from its substrate linoleic acid. The helix 2 and the first histidine box are a determinant of conjugase product partitioning into alpha-punicic acid ((9Z,11E,13E,15Z)-octadeca-9,11,13,15-tetraenoate) or alpha-eleostearic acid ((9Z,11E,13E)-octadeca-9,11,13-trienoate), sequence comparisons, overview. Residues 111 and 115 of the enzyme exhibit an interactive effect in punicic acid formation | Momordica charantia | ? | - |
