"Isomerase activity was found in bacteria"

CLA and other conjugated fatty acids are produced in vivo by double-
bond isomerization of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) precursors (4-
6). Isomerase activity was found in bacteria (4) and algae (5, 6).

Linoleic acid isomerase from Propionibacterium acnes: purification,
characterization, molecular cloning, and heterologous expression.

Propionibacterium acnes strain ATCC 6919 catalyzes the isomerization
of the double bond at the C9 position in linoleic acid (c9,c12, 18:2)
to form t10,c12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, 18:2). CLA has
significant health benefits in animal and human.
The linoleic acid C9 isomerase was purified to an apparent homogeneity
by successive chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) anion
exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and chromatofocusing columns.
Two degenerated oligonucleotide primers were synthesized according to
the N-terminal peptide sequence to clone, by polymerase chain reaction
(PCR), a short nucleotide sequence (62 bp) of the isomerase gene.
The linoleic acid isomerase gene (lai) was subsequently cloned by
inverse PCR.
The amino acid sequence deduced from the lai coding sequence predicts
a protein of 424 amino acid residues (48 kDa), excluding the N-
terminal methionine, which was absent in the polypeptide purified from
the native host.
The isomerase shares no significant sequence homology to other enzymes
except a flavin-binding domain in the N-terminal region.
The recombinant isomerase purified from Escherichia coli showed a
typical ultraviolet spectrum for FAD-bound proteins. The recombinant
enzyme produced a single isomer of t10,c12-CLA from linoleic acid, as
demonstrated by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass
spectrum analysis.
The recombinant isomerase protein was expressed at high levels in E.
coli, but it was almost totally sequestered in inclusion bodies.
The level of active isomerase was increased 376-fold by medium and
process optimization in bench-scale fermentors.

In-house SIRAS phasing of the polyunsaturated fatty-acid isomerase
from Propionibacterium acnes
A. Liavonchanka, E. Hornung, I. Feussner and M. Rudolph
Abstract: The polyenoic fatty-acid isomerase from Propionibacterium
acnes (PAI) catalyzes the double-bond isomerization of linoleic acid
to conjugated linoleic acid, which is a dairy- or meat-derived fatty
acid in the human diet.
PAI was overproduced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity
as a yellow-coloured protein.
The nature of the bound cofactor was analyzed by absorption and
fluorescence spectroscopy.
Single crystals of PAI were obtained in two crystal forms.
Cubic shaped crystals belong to space group I213, with a unit-cell
parameter of 160.4 Å, and plate-like crystals belong to the monoclinic
space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 133.7, b = 60.8, c =
72.2 Å, = 115.8°.
Both crystal forms contain one molecule per asymmetric unit and
diffract to a resolution of better than 2.0 Å.
Initial phases were obtained by SIRAS from in-house data from a cubic
crystal that was soaked with an unusually low KI concentration of 0.25
M.

Keywords: fatty-acid isomerases; Propionibacterium acnes.

There are no long chain omega-3 in plants. There are long chain
omega-3 in animals and fish products.
Therefore .. ? .. omega-3 and omega-3 are **not** .. the "same" ..
Long chain and short chain omega-3.

The human gut does produce CLA .

So compared to the gut of a cow .. yes .. the human can produce CLA .

As to QUANTITY of CLA .. then one might have to consume plants for a
while to find that out.

Omega-3 "scavenges" radicals just to be converted to lipid peroxide

True antioxidant becomes non-reactive after accepting the radical or
converts it to water ...

Did you know that .. ?

Since you don't differentiate .. **enough** .. I .. will.

Omega-3 from plants causes no oxidation.
Omega-3 from fish causes oxidation.. depletes vitamin E.

Omega-3 is Omega-3, the supplemental antioxidants in plant material is
what makes the difference. Whole fish meat also contains furan fatty
acids acting like antioxidant to protect Omega-3 from oxidation.

Think quantitatively, not qualitatively, here Tom. Can you say that
man's stomach/intestine can compare to the rumen in its ability to
produce CLA? And even the ruminants need to be grazing all day long
to supply enough material for the fermentation ...
