摘要：
A phytoene desaturase (PDS) gene was cloned and characterized from the unicellular green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Functional complementation analysis revealed C reinhardtii PDS (CrPDS) catalyzes the conversion of phytoene to the colored carotenoid zeta-carotene. A single amino acid substitution, L505F, enhanced its desaturation activity by 29%, as indicated by an in vitro enzymatic assay. In addition, CrPDS-L505F exhibited 27.7-fold higher resistance to the herbicide norflurazon. Glass bead-mediated delivery displayed a high transformation efficiency of C reinhardtii with CrPDS-L505F, demonstrating clearly that the engineered endogenous CrPDS is a dominant selectable marker for C. reinhardtii and possibly for other green algae. Furthermore, the expression of PDS could enhance the intracellular carotenoid accumulation of transformants, opening up the possibility of engineering the carotenogenic pathway for improved carotenoid production in microalgae.
