    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel elongase gene comprising the sequences cited in sequence SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:7 or to homologues, derivatives or analogues thereof. The invention also relates to a gene construct containing these genes or homologues, derivatives or analogues thereof, and to its use. The invention additionally relates to the vectors or transgenic organisms containing an elongase gene comprising the sequence SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:7 or containing homologues, derivatives or analogues thereof. The invention relates to the use of the elongase sequences alone or in combination with additional elongases and/or with additional fatty acid biosynthesis genes. The invention relates to a novel elongase gene comprising the sequence SEQ ID NO:1 or to homologues, derivatives or analogues thereof. The invention also relates to a method for producing multiple-unsaturated fatty acids and to a method for introducing DNA into organisms which produce large quantities of oils and, in particular, oils having a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. The invention further relates to an oil and/or to a fatty acid preparation having a high content of multiple-unsaturated fatty acids that contain at least two double bonds and/or to a triacylglycerin preparation having a high content of multiple-unsaturated fatty acids that contain at least two double bonds.

    Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid from a plant or algae which encodes a polypeptide which extends a C16, C18 or C20 fatty acid having at least two double bonds by at least two carbon atoms, is new. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an isolated nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide which extends a C16, C18 or C20 fatty acid having at least two double bonds by at least two carbon atoms, and having the 1192, 687, 955 or 708 base pair (bp) sequence fully defined in the specification, a genetic code degenerate or derivative of one of those sequences, or encoding the 290, 195, 297 or 214 amino acid sequence fully defined in the specification, or a sequence with at least 50% homology to one of those sequences where the enzymatic activity is not substantially reduced; (2) a gene construct comprising one of the above nucleic acids linked to one or more regulatory sequences; (3) amino acid sequences encoded by the above nucleic acids or construct; (4) a vector comprising the above nucleic acids or construct; (5) an organism comprising the above nucleic acids, construct or vector; (6) an antibody which specifically binds to the product of the above nucleic acids; (7) an antisense nucleic acid molecule complementary to one of the above nucleic acids; (8) producing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), comprising breeding organisms containing the above nucleic acids, construct or vector, encoding a polypeptide which extends a C16, C18 or C20 fatty acid having at least two double bonds by at least two carbon atoms, under PUFA forming conditions; (9) an oil, lipid, fatty acid or its fraction, produced by the above method; (10) an oil, lipid or fatty acid composition containing PUFAs from transgenic plants, preferably where the transgenic plant comprises the above nucleic acids, construct or vector; (11) identifying an elongase (ant)agonist comprising contacting cells expressing the polypeptide of the invention with a candidate compound, testing PSE activity and comparing activity with a control standard.
