Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionfat-1 encodes an omega-3 fatty acyl desaturase that acts onsubstrates of 16-20 carbons with a preference for omega-6 fatty acids;FAT-1 dehydrogenates its substrates 3 carbons from the methyl terminus;FAT-1 is required in vivo for n3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)synthesis; the fatty acids of fat-1(wa9) mutants consist of 20%arachidonic acid (20:4n6), instead of the 20% eicosapentaenoic acid(20:5n3) seen in wild-type worms; fat-1(wa9) mutants are generallynormal, with normal chemotaxis; fat-4(wa14) fat-1(wa9) double mutantsare superficially normal but have deficient chemotaxis to AWA-sensedodorants (though not to AWC-sensed ones), and mildly defectiveOSM-9/OCR-2-dependent nociception by ASH neurons; fat-1 mutants areabnormally sensitive to excess dihommogamma-linolenic acid (DGLA,20:3n-6), which induces degeneration of larval germ cells, excessapoptosis in adult germline, and sterility; while this sensitivity isenhanced by fat-4 mutations, it requires excess DGLA (or its precursor,gamma-linolenic acid/18:3n-6) in the food media; fat-1 or fat-1;fat-4mutants grown on normal food are fertile, despite their having excessDGLA in vivo; transgenic FAT-1 can lower apoptosis in cultured mammalianneurons, suggesting that it may be required for an evolutionarilyconserved signalling pathway regulating apoptosis.Paper_evidence (11)

Remarkinformation received from Spychalla (Madison, John Browse lab) 02/95.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
