Fish are a major source of beneficial n-3 LC-PUFA in human diet, and there is considerable interest to elucidate the mechanism and regulatory aspects of LC-PUFA biosynthesis in farmed species. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) biosynthesis involves the activities of two groups of enzymes, the fatty acyl desaturase (Fads) and elongase of very long-chain fatty acid (Elovl). The promoters of elovl5 elongase, which catalyses the rate-limiting reaction of elongating polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), have been previously described and characterized from several marine and diadromous teleost species. We report here the cloning and characterization of elovl5 promoter from two freshwater fish species, the carnivorous snakehead fish (Channa striata) and zebrafish. Results show the presence of sterol-responsive elements (SRE) in the core regulatory region of both promoters, suggesting the importance of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (Srebp) in the regulation of elovl5 for both species. Mutagenesis luciferase and electrophoretic mobility shift assays further validate the role of SRE for basal transcriptional activation. In addition, several Sp1-binding sites located in close proximity with SRE were present in the snakehead promoter, with one having a potential synergy with SRE in the regulation of elovl5 expression. The core zebrafish elovl5 promoter fragment also directed in vivo expression in the yolk syncytial layer of developing zebrafish embryos.
