Patent ID: 7871804

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule which codes for a polypeptide having acyl-CoA:lysophospholipid acyltransferase activity, wherein the acyl-CoA:lysophospholipid acyltransferase encoded by the isolated nucleic acid molecule specifically converts C 16 -, C 18 -, C 20 - or C 22 -fatty acids with at least one double bond in the fatty acid molecule and wherein the isolated nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: a) a nucleic acid sequence with the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 5, b) nucleic acid sequences which, as the result of the degeneracy of the genetic code, are derived from the coding sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 5, and c) nucleic acid sequences which code for polypeptides having at least 80% 95% homology at the amino acid level with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 4 or SEQ ID NO: 6 and having acyl-CoMysophospholipid acyltransferase activity.
