ABSTRACT
Sebastes taczanowskii is a subarctic species in the north-western Pacific Ocean. To obtain mitochondrial DNA sequences for phylogeny, the complete mitogenome (16 452 bp in length) of S. taczanowskii was constructed using next-generation sequencing. The circular mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and the control region, for which gene structure and positions were similar to those of other Scorpaenidae. The complete mitogenome composed of 27.8% A, 26.5% T, 17.3% G and 28.5% C, with a slight AT bias (54.3%). All PCGs use a typical start codon, ATG, except COX1 (GTG). The terminal codon of PCGs was mainly TAR, with the exceptions of ND4 (AGA) and Cytb (incomplete codon, T). Sebastes taczanowskii was clearly divided from other Scorpaenidae in the phylogenetic tree using 2 rRNA and 13 PCGs. The mitogenome of S. taczanowskii can be useful for constructing the molecular phylogenetic tree within Scorpaenidae.

Sebastes longispinis is considered to be a valid species despite its incomplete mitochondrial lineage. To obtain basic information of this species, the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of S. longispinis was determined by next-generation sequencing. The complete sequence is 16,445 bp in length and comprised of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and a control region. The complete mitogenome contains 28.0% A, 26.7% T, 17.1% G and 28.3% C nucleotides, with a slight AT bias (54.6%). The start codon of each PCG is ATG, except for COX1 (GTG). The stop codons found in the PCGs are mainly TAA, except for ND1 (TAG), ND3 (TAG), ND4 (AGA), and Cytb (incomplete termination codon, T). The tRNAs have a typical cloverleaf form, except for tRNA(Ser (AGY)), which lacks the DHU arm. The mitogenome of S. longispinis can be used to address the incomplete mitochondrial lineages in allied species of the Scorpaenidae.

Sebastes is a diverse genus of fish in the family Scorpaenidae. The larvae and adults in this genus have similar morphological characteristics. To obtain basic information for their identification, the mitogenome of S. steindachneri was sequenced using next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome was 16,450 bp in length, and comprised of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a control region. The mitogenome is 27.4% A, 21.1% T, 17.5% G, and 28.0% C, showing a slight AT bias (54.5%). ATG was the start codon in all of the PCGs, except COX1 (GTG). The termination codon in the PCGs was TAA, except in ND1 and ND3 (TAG), ND4 (AGA), and Cytb (incomplete termination codon, T). All of the tRNAs had a typical cloverleaf shape, except tRNASer(AGY), which lacked the DHU arm. The mitogenome of S. steindachneri should be useful for identifying larvae and constructing a phylogenetic structure for the Scorpaenidae.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Sebastes koreanus was determined by next-generation sequencing. The total genome was 16,499 bp in length, comprising two rRNA, 22 tRNA and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), as well as the mtDNA control region. The genome constitutes 27.9% A, 26.6% T, 17.1% G and 28.4% C, showing a slight AT bias (54.5%). Of the 13 mitochondrial PCGs, 12 have an ATG start codon while COX1 had a GTG start codon; the incomplete stop codon (T) was present in the ND3, ND4 and Cytb genes. The anti-G bias was considerably lower at the third codon position of PCGs (8.8%). The complete mitogenome sequence of S. koreanus will contribute to molecular phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of Sebastinae and to the identification of its genetic populations in the Yellow Sea.

To identify the genes encoding fatty acid elongases for the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), we isolated a cDNA via degenerate PCR and RACE-PCR from Acanthopagrus schlegelii with a high similarity to the ELOVL5-like elongases of mammals and fishes. This gene is termed AsELOVL5 and encodes a 294 amino acid protein. When AsELOVL5 was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it conferred an ability to elongate γ-linolenic acid (18:3 n-6) to di-homo-γ-linolenic acid (20:3 n-6). In addition, the transformed cells converted arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6) and eicosapentaenpic acid (20:5 n-3) to docosatetraenoic acid (22:4 n-6) and docosapentaenoic acid (22:5 n-3), respectively. These results indicate that the AsELOVL5 gene encodes a long-chain fatty acid elongase capable of elongating C(18)Δ6/C(20)Δ5 but not C(22) PUFA substrates.

Delta 6-fatty acid desaturase (D6DES) is used in the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from microorganisms to higher animals, including arachidonic acid (ARA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). A 1,338 bp full-length cDNA encoding D6DES was cloned from Acanthopagrus schlegeli (AsD6DES) through degenerate- and RACE-PCR methods. A recombinant vector expressing AsD6DES (pYES-AsD6DES) was subsequently constructed and transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae to test the enzymatic activity of AsD6DES towards the production of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids. The exogenously expressed AsD6DES produced γ-linolenic acid (18:3 n-6) and stearidonic acid (18:4n-3) at 26 and 36% from exogenous linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3), respectively, indicating that it is essentially a delta 6-fatty acid desaturase.
