evolution

all members of the CSFAD3 subclass contain eight exons and seven introns within the gene. Evolutionary relationship of Cannabis sativa putative desaturases, overview
evolution
bifunctional DELTA12/DELTA15-desaturases are widely found in fungi species belonging to Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Enzyme RKD12 shares higher homology to the Cop-odeA, it only exhibits DELTA12 and DELTA15 desaturation activity on C18 substrates without preference
evolution
three different copies of the genes FAD2 and FAD3 are identified, which contain three histidine rich motifs (HXCGHX, HRXHH andHVXHH) and six highly conserved transmembrane domains. Comparing their sequences, the CsFAD2copies accommodate four conservative changes (E36D, R48H, V97A, and A177P) and two semi-conservative ones (V63I and L249M), whereas only one semi-conservative change (A327S) is detected in CsFAD3 but with two extra amino acids (H147 and G148)
