Summary

Go to the top of the page Help

Official Symbol: FAD7
Official Full Name: fatty acid desaturase 7
Primary source: TAIR:AT3G11170
Locus tag: AT3G11170
See related: Araport:AT3G11170
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype: Columbia)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
Also known as: AtFAD7; CHLOROPLAST PRECURSOR; FADD; fatty acid desaturase 7; FATTY ACID DESATURASE D; OMEGA-3 FATTY ACID DESATURASE
Summary: Chloroplastic enzyme responsible for the synthesis of 16:3 and 18:3 fatty acids from galactolipids, sulpholipids and phosphatidylglycerol. Uses ferredoxin as electron donor. Gene expression is induced by wounding in shoot and root. The wound-response in shoot is independent of jasmonic acid mediated pathway whereas the root response is mediated by jasmonic acid.

What's a GeneRIF?

the codon preference of FAD7 is influenced by genetic relationships
Title: Analysis of synonymous codon usage in FAD7 genes from different plant species.
FAD7 catalyses the production of jasmonic acid, andis induced locally by wounding. RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain phosphatases are negative regulators of FAD7 expression.
Title: CTD phosphatases in the attenuation of wound-induced transcription of jasmonic acid biosynthetic genes in Arabidopsis.
When young, cold-induced tobacco seedlings were exposed to low-temperature (0.5, 2 or 3.5 degrees C) for up to 44 days, survival within independent cor15a-FAD7 transgenic lines (40.2-96%) was far superior to the wild type (6.7-10.2%).
Title: Enhanced cold tolerance in transgenic tobacco expressing a chloroplast omega-3 fatty acid desaturase gene under the control of a cold-inducible promoter.
These results suggest that the ozone-induced expression of FAD7 gene requires SA, but not ethylene, JA, NPR1 and SID2.
Title: Ozone-induced expression of the Arabidopsis FAD7 gene requires salicylic acid, but not NPR1 and SID2.
