gene Cre05.g232002 or CrACX2, screening of a Chlamydomonas insertional mutant library identifies a strain strongly impaired in oil remobilization and defective in Cre05.g232002 (CrACX2), recombinant expression of CrACX2 in Escherichia coli.

additional information | screening of a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii insertional mutant library identifies a strain strongly impaired in oil remobilization and defective in Cre05.g232002 (CrACX2), Nb7D4 is disrupted in gene Cre05.g232002. The mutant strain is defective in beta-oxidation of fatty acids and cannot grow on oleic acid. Turnover of fatty acids during diurnal growth is compromised in cracx2 mutant cells. Cellular oil content is increased by 20% in cracx2 mutants during N starvation. Phenotype, overview | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |

evolution | the enzyme is a member of the acyl-CoA oxidase/dehydrogenase superfamily | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |
malfunction | isolation of a mutant strain strongly impaired in oil remobilization and defective in gene CrACX2, under nitrogen depletion the mutant accumulated 20% more oil than the wild-type. The cracx2 mutant is impaired in fatty acid turnover during day/night cycles. The mutant strain is defective in beta-oxidation of fatty acids and cannot grow on oleic acid. The cracx2 mutant does not over-accumulate acyl-CoAs. Phenotype, overview | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |
physiological function | CrACX2 is a genuine acyl-CoA oxidase, which is responsible for the first step of the peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation spiral. The enzyme is required for breakdown of fatty acids during lipid remobilization | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |
