榄香烯是我国拥有自主知识产权的抗肿瘤药物之一,因其抗肿瘤活性强、作用范围广、毒副作用轻微和不易产生耐药性等优点,被广泛应用于各类恶性肿瘤的临床治疗中。榄香烯的生产主要依靠药用植物温郁金的分离提取。但温郁金的榄香烯含量低、分离纯化难度大、得率低且成本高,严重阻碍了榄香烯的大规模生产与应用。随着合成生物学的发展,利用微生物构建细胞工厂用于生物合成天然药物成为研究热点,也为榄香烯的生产提供了新的思路。近年来,对榄香烯的生物合成研究在不断深入。研究者通过代谢工程、组合生物学和基因工程等手段,阐明榄香烯生物合成途径和关键酶,已经成功克隆了榄香烯生物合成途径上的一些关键酶基因,初步实现榄香烯的异源生物合成。本文以合成生物学研究思维概述榄香烯生物合成途径及其工程菌的优化,重点综述关键酶吉马烯A合酶(germacrane A synthase, GAS)。从限速酶基因的过表达和分流基因的敲除,融合表达酶工程策略、吉马烯A合酶的体外进化几方面,对其生物合成途径的改造策略进行阐述。同时,也分析提高异源生物合成榄香烯产量所面临的问题与挑战,为榄香烯的高效生物合成提供参考。 相似文献

Santalum album L. commonly known as East-Indian sandal or chandan is a hemiparasitic tree of family santalaceae. Santalol is a bioprospecting molecule present in sandalwood and any effort towards metabolic engineering of this important moiety would require knowledge on gene regulation. Santalol is a sesquiterpene synthesized through mevalonate or non-mevalonate pathways. First step of santalol biosynthesis involves head to tail condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) with its allylic co-substrate dimethyl allyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) to produce geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP; C10 — a monoterpene). GPP upon one additional condensation with IPP produces farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP; C15 — an open chain sesquiterpene). Both the reactions are catalyzed by farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDS). Santalene synthase (SS), a terpene cyclase catalyzes cyclization of open ring FPP into a mixture of cyclic sesquiterpenes such as α-santalene, epi-β-santalene, β-santalene and exo bergamotene, the main constituents of sandal oil. The objective of the present work was to generate a comprehensive knowledge on the genes involved in santalol production and study their molecular regulation. To achieve this, sequences encoding farnesyl diphosphate synthase and santalene synthase were isolated from sandalwood using suppression subtraction hybridization and 2D gel electrophoresis technology. Functional characterization of both the genes was done through enzyme assays and tissue-specific expression of both the genes was studied. To our knowledge, this is the first report on studies on molecular regulation, and tissue-specific expression of the genes involved in santalol biosynthesis. 相似文献

Sandalwood oil is one of the worlds most highly prized fragrances. To identify the genes and encoded enzymes responsible for santalene biosynthesis, we cloned and characterized three orthologous terpene synthase (TPS) genes SaSSy, SauSSy, and SspiSSy from three divergent sandalwood species; Santalum album, S. austrocaledonicum, and S. spicatum, respectively. The encoded enzymes catalyze the formation of α-, β-, epi-β-santalene, and α-exo-bergamotene from (E,E)-farnesyl diphosphate (E,E-FPP). Recombinant SaSSy was additionally tested with (Z,Z)-farnesyl diphosphate (Z,Z-FPP) and remarkably, found to produce a mixture of α-endo-bergamotene, α-santalene, (Z)-β-farnesene, epi-β-santalene, and β-santalene. Additional cDNAs that encode bisabolene/bisabolol synthases were also cloned and functionally characterized from these three species. Both the santalene synthases and the bisabolene/bisabolol synthases reside in the TPS-b phylogenetic clade, which is more commonly associated with angiosperm monoterpene synthases. An orthologous set of TPS-a synthases responsible for formation of macrocyclic and bicyclic sesquiterpenes were characterized. Strict functionality and limited sequence divergence in the santalene and bisabolene synthases are in contrast to the TPS-a synthases, suggesting these compounds have played a significant role in the evolution of the Santalum genus. 相似文献

Phenotypic variation in heartwood and essential‐oil characters of Santalum austrocaledonicum was assessed across eleven populations on seven islands of Vanuatu. Trees differed significantly in their percentage heartwood cross‐sectional area and this varied independently of stem diameter. The concentrations of the four major essential‐oil constituents (α‐santalol, β‐santalol, (Z)‐β‐curcumen‐12‐ol, and cis‐nuciferol) of alcohol‐extracted heartwood exhibited at least tenfold and continuous tree‐to‐tree variation. Commercially important components α‐ and β‐santalol found in individual trees ranged from 0.8–47% and 0–24.1%, respectively, across all populations, and significant (P<0.05) differences for each were found between individual populations. The Erromango population was unique in that the mean concentrations of its monocyclic ((Z)‐β‐curcumen‐12‐ol and cis‐nuciferol) sesquiterpenes exceeded those of its bi‐ and tricyclic (α‐ and β‐santalol) sesquiterpenes. Heartwood colour varied between trees and spanned 65 colour categories, but no identifiable relationships were found between heartwood colour and α‐ and β‐santalol, although a weak relationship was evident between colour saturation and total oil concentration. These results indicate that the heartwood colour is not a reliable predictive trait for oil quality. The results of this study highlight the knowledge gaps in fundamental understanding of heartwood biology in Santalum genus. The intraspecific variation in heartwood cross‐sectional area, oil concentration, and oil quality traits is of considerable importance to the domestication of sandalwood and present opportunities for the development of highly superior S. austrocaledonicum cultivars that conform to the industry's International Standards used for S. album. 相似文献

Sandalwood, Santalum album (Santalaceae) is a small hemi-parasitic tropical tree of great economic value. Sandalwood timber contains resins and essential oils, particularly the santalols, santalenes and dozens of other minor sesquiterpenoids. These sesquiterpenoids provide the unique sandalwood fragrance. The research described in this paper set out to identify genes involved in essential oil biosynthesis, particularly terpene synthases (TPS) in S. album, with the long-term aim of better understanding heartwood oil production. Degenerate TPS primers amplified two genomic TPS fragments from S. album, one of which enabled the isolation of two TPS cDNAs, SamonoTPS1 (1731 bp) and SasesquiTPS1 (1680 bp). Both translated protein sequences shared highest similarity with known TPS from grapevine (Vitis vinifera). Heterologous expression in Escherichia coli produced catalytically active proteins. SamonoTPS1 was identified as a monoterpene synthase which produced a mixture of (+)-α-terpineol and (−)-limonene, along with small quantities of linalool, myrcene, (−)-α-pinene, (+)-sabinene and geraniol when assayed with geranyl diphosphate. Sesquiterpene synthase SasesquiTPS1 produced the monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol germacrene D-4-ol and helminthogermacrene, when incubated with farnesyl diphosphate. Also present were α-bulnesene, γ-muurolene, α- and β-selinenes, as well as several other minor bicyclic compounds. Although these sesquiterpenes are present in only minute quantities in the distilled sandalwood oil, the genes and their encoded enzymes described here represent the first TPS isolated and characterised from a member of the Santalaceae plant family and they may enable the future discovery of additional TPS genes in sandalwood. 相似文献

A chemotaxonomic approach was used to investigate biosynthetic relationships between heartwood sesquiterpenes in Indian sandalwood, Santalum album L. Strong, linear relationships exist between four structural classes of sesquiterpenes; alpha- and beta-santalenes and bergamotene; gamma- and beta-curcumene; beta-bisabolene and alpha-bisabolol and four unidentified sesquiterpenes. All samples within the heartwood yielded the same co-occurrence patterns, however wood from young trees tended to be more variable. It is proposed that the biosynthesis of each structural class of sesquiterpene in sandalwood oil is linked through common carbocation intermediates. Lack of co-occurrence between each structural class suggests that four separate cyclase enzymes may be operative. The biosynthesis of sandalwood oil sesquiterpenes is discussed with respect to these co-occurrence patterns. Extractable oil yield was correlated to heartwood content of each wood core and the oil composition did not vary significantly throughout the tree. 相似文献

Thirty-four essential oils were screened for their repellent activities against the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acarina: Tetranychidae), at 0.1% concentration level using choice and no-choice laboratory bioassays. Of these, 20 essential oils showed significant repellencies against T. urticae in the choice tests. In subsequent no-choice tests using these 20 essential oils, only sandalwood oil showed significant repellency against T. urticae. Total number of eggs oviposited by T. urticae was significantly lower than controls in the choice tests when the kidney bean leaves were treated with 1 of 14 essential oils. The significant repellency of sandalwood oil against T. urticae lasted at least for 5 h at the 0.1% concentration level. Our GC-MS analysis indicated that the major components of the sandalwood oil were alpha-santalol (45.8%), beta-santalol (20.6%), beta-sinensal (9.4%), and epi-beta-santalol (3.3%). Santanol, a mixture of the two main components in the sandalwood oil, appears to be responsible for the repellency of sandalwood oil against T. urticae. 相似文献

A series of eleven β‐santalol analogs, including nine new derivatives, was prepared by semisynthesis from natural (?)‐(Z)‐β‐santalol and studied by gas chromatography‐olfactometry (GC‐O) to characterize their olfactory properties and potencies. These compounds and 45 others selected in the literature were used to build three olfactophores by molecular modelling. Three models were obtained that gather structural and physicochemical constraints that will be useful for further design of new sandalwood odorants. 相似文献
