Dioscorea plants produce pharmaceutical diosgenin, which usually exists in plants in the form of saponins and has been a starting material for the production of steroids over seven decades. The first step of steroidal saponin biosynthesis from the corresponding aglycone is glycosylation by 3-O-sterol glycosyltransferase (S3GT), transferring the glycosyl from a sugar donor to the 3-OH position of the aglycone. In this study, a DzS3GT gene from Dioscorea zingiberensis was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant DzS3GT protein showed 3-O-sterol glycosyltransferase activity in vitro. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that the DzS3GT protein is located in the cytoplasm in rice protoplasts. The tissue profiles of DzS3GT differ from those reported SGT genes. DzS3GT is expressed strongly in leaves and very weakly in stems. The diosgenin 3-O-glucoside (trillin) content is much higher in the leaves than in other organs. The specificity of gene expression and saponins accumulation suggest that the biosynthesis of trillin may occur mainly in the leaves of D. zingiberensis. This is the first report of the cloning and biochemical characterization of a glycosyltransferase gene involved in the biosynthesis of diosgenin 3-O-glucoside in Dioscorea plants. In addition, the study provides a potential relevance to the biosynthesis and transport mechanism of steroidal saponins in Dioscorea plants. 相似文献

Trillium govanianum Wall. ex D. Don, popularly known as Nagchhatri, is an important medicinal plant of northwestern Himalayas. No data exist on molecular characteristics of diosgenin biosynthesis, the main chemical component of T. govanianum. HPLC analysis revealed diosgenin content of 2.4 and 0.7% in hydrolyzed rhizome extracts of Chamba and Lahaul and Spiti, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of five genes of steroid pathway in the rhizomes of two locations, differing for diosgenin content showed up to 3.2-fold increase in expression level of genes viz. hydroxymethylglutaryl Co-A reductase (HMGR), farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS), squalene synthase (SQS), 26-O-beta-glucosidase (BETA) and cycloartenol synthase (CAS) in rhizomes of Chamba (2.4%) as compared to Lahaul and Spiti (0.7%), thus inferring their role in diosgenin biosynthesis. The present study delivers the first report where an elite chemotype of T. govanianum for diosgenin content was identified and partial sequences of five genes of steroid pathway were cloned and investigated for their potential role in diosgenin biosynthesis in T. govanianum. The result of this study has prospective applications in the genetic improvement of this medicinally important plant species. 相似文献
