Wild cyclamen (Cyclamen purpurascens) is considered as a precious breeding material for the development of new cultivars. Malvidin 3,5-diglucoside is the main anthocyanin in the petals of C. purpurascens, whereas the F1 progeny of the C. persicum × C. purpurascens cultivars cross contains 3,5-diglucoside-type anthocyanins as the main pigment. The anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase (A5GT) enzyme is responsible for the glycosylation of the A ring of anthocyanin at the 5-O-position, which implies that the expression of A5GT is dominant in the petals of C. purpurascens × C. persicum cultivars. Here, we isolated the complete open reading frame of the A5GT gene from C. purpurascens (Cpur5GT). Results of qRT-PCR revealed that Cpur5GT shows tissue-specific expression, with strong expression in fully opened petals and weak expression in young petals. In vitro enzyme assay showed that when uridine diphosphate glucose was used as the sugar donor, recombinant Cpur5GT could catalyze the glycosylation of 3-glucoside-type anthocyanidins at the 5-O-position, but when uridine diphosphate galactose was served as glycosyl donor, the reaction could not be performed. These results demonstrate that Cpur5GT exhibits valid anthocyanin glucosylation activity and could be used to analyze the mechanism of A5GT-mediated flower coloration in cyclamen in future studies. 相似文献

In flower extracts of defined genotypes of Matthiola incana, an enzyme was demonstrated which catalyzes the transfer of the glucosyl moiety of uridine 5-diphosphoglucose (UDPGlc) to the 5-hydroxyl group of pelargonidin and cyanidin 3-glycosides and acylated derivatives. The best substrate for 5-glucosylation is the 3-xylosylglucoside acylated with p-coumarate, followed by the 3-xylosylglucoside and by the acylated (p-coumarate) 3-glucoside. The 3-glucoside itself is a very poor substrate. Besides UDPGlc, thymine 5-diphosphoglucose is a suitable glucosyl-donor, but with a reduced reaction rate (42%). The anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase exhibits a pH optimum at 7.5 and is generally inhibited by divalent ions and by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and p-chloromercuribenzoate. Investigations on different genotypes showed that the 5-O-glucosyltransferase activity is clearly controlled by the gene l. In confirmation of earlier chemogenetic work, enzyme activity is only present in lines with the wild-type allele l+. The anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase activity is strictly correlated with the formation of 5-glucosylated anthocyanins during bud development.Abbreviations Cg

Cloning and expression of UDP-glucose: flavonoid 7-O-glucosyltransferase from hairy root cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A cDNA encoding UDP-glucose: baicalein 7-O-glucosyltransferase (UBGT) was isolated from a cDNA library from hairy root cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi probed with a partial-length cDNA clone of a UDP-glucose: flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGT) from grape (Vitis vinifera L.). The heterologous probe contained a glucosyltransferase consensus amino acid sequence which was also present in the Scutellaria cDNA clones. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 1688-bp cDNA insert was determined and the deduced amino acid sequences
are presented. The nucleotide sequence analysis of UBGT revealed an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 476 amino
acids with a calculated molecular mass of 53 094 Da. The reaction product for baicalein and UDP-glucose catalyzed by recombinant
UBGT in Escherichia coli was identified as authentic baicalein 7-O-glucoside using high-performance liquid chromatography and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The enzyme activities
of recombinant UBGT expressed in E. coli were also detected towards flavonoids such as baicalein, wogonin, apigenin, scutellarein, 7,4′-dihydroxyflavone and kaempferol,
and phenolic compounds. The accumulation of UBGT mRNA in hairy roots was in response to wounding or salicylic acid treatments.

Cultivated Japanese gentians traditionally produce vivid blue flowers because of the accumulation of delphinidin-based polyacylated anthocyanins. However, recent breeding programs developed several red-flowered cultivars, but the underlying mechanism for this red coloration was unknown. Thus, we characterized the pigments responsible for the red coloration in these cultivars. A high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array analysis revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, including flavones and xanthones, as well as the accumulation of colored cyanidin-based anthocyanins. The chemical structures of two xanthone compounds contributing to the coloration of red-flowered gentian petals were determined by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The compounds were identified as norathyriol 6-O-glucoside (i.e., tripteroside designated as Xt1) and a previously unreported norathyriol-6-O-(6′-O-malonyl)-glucoside (designated Xt2). The copigmentation effects of these compounds on cyanidin 3-O-glucoside were detected in vitro. Additionally, an RNA sequencing analysis was performed to identify the cDNAs encoding the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of these xanthones. Recombinant proteins encoded by the candidate genes were produced in a wheat germ cell-free protein expression system and assayed. We determined that a UDP-glucose-dependent glucosyltransferase (StrGT9) catalyzes the transfer of a glucose moiety to norathyriol, a xanthone aglycone, to produce Xt1, which is converted to Xt2 by a malonyltransferase (StrAT2). An analysis of the progeny lines suggested that the accumulation of Xt2 contributes to the vivid red coloration of gentian flowers. Our data indicate that StrGT9 and StrAT2 help mediate xanthone biosynthesis and contribute to the coloration of red-flowered gentians via copigmentation effects. 相似文献

Cell cultures of Linum species store 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin (MPTOX), podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and related lignans as O-glucosides. UDP-glucose:(M)PTOX 7-O-glucosyltransferase has been detected and characterised in protein preparations of suspension-cultured cells of Linum nodiflorum L. (Linaceae). The maximal lignan glucoside contents in the cells are preceded by a rapid increase of the specific glucosyltransferase activity on day six of the culture period. MPTOX glucoside is the major lignan with up to 1.18 mg g(-1) of the cell dry wt which is more than 30-fold of the PTOX glucoside content. Of the three aryltetralin lignans tested as substrates, PTOX and MPTOX display comparable apparent K(m) values of 4.7 and 5.4 microM, respectively. 5'-Demethoxy-6-methoxypodophyllotoxin is converted with the highest velocity of 25.2 pkat mg(-1) while also possessing a higher K(m) of 14.7 microM. Two-substrate test series indicate that all three compounds compete for the active site of a single protein. The structurally similar lignan beta-peltatin acts as competitive inhibitor as well. However, the 6-O-glucosidation is most likely catalysed by a separate enzyme. The (M)PTOX 7-O-glucosyltransferase works best at a pH around 9 and a temperature around 35 degrees C. A 15-30% increase of the reaction rate is effected by the addition of 0.9 mM Mn(2+). 相似文献

Gentian (Gentiana triflora) blue petals predominantly contain an unusually blue and stable anthocyanin, delphinidin 3-O-glucosyl-5-O-(6-O-caffeoyl-glucosyl)-3'-O-(6-O-caffeoyl-glucoside) (gentiodelphin). Glucosylation and the subsequent acylation of the 3'-hydroxy group of the B-ring of anthocyanins are important to the stabilization of and the imparting of bluer color to these anthocyanins. The enzymes and their genes involved in these modifications of the B-ring, however, have not been characterized, purified, or isolated to date. In this study, we purified a UDP-glucose (Glc):anthocyanin 3'-O-glucosyltransferase (3'GT) enzyme to homogeneity from gentian blue petals and isolated a cDNA encoding a 3'GT based on the internal amino acid sequences of the purified 3'GT. The deduced amino acid sequence indicates that 3'GT belongs to the same subfamily as a flavonoid 7-O-glucosyltransferase from Schutellaria baicalensis in the plant glucosyltransferase superfamily. Characterization of the enzymatic properties using the recombinant 3'GT protein revealed that, in contrast to most of flavonoid glucosyltransferases, it has strict substrate specificity: 3'GT specifically glucosylates the 3'-hydroxy group of delphinidin-type anthocyanins containing Glc groups at 3 and 5 positions. The enzyme specifically uses UDP-Glc as the sugar donor. The specificity was confirmed by expression of the 3'GT cDNA in transgenic petunia (Petunia hybrida). This is the first report of the gene isolation of a B-ring-specific glucosyltransferase of anthocyanins, which paves the way to modification of flower color by production of blue anthocyanins. 相似文献

A procedure for the extraction of large quantities of PR-5 proteins that have been recalcitrant to microbial-based expression
systems is described. Targeting of the recombinant proteins to the extracellular matrix allowed efficient protein extraction
by a vacuum infiltration/centrifugation system. Approximately 1 kg of fresh leaves from transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing
either truncated osmotin (Liu et al., 1996) or A9 fromAtriplex nummularia L. (Casas et al., 1991) yielded between 3 and 5 mg of purified proteins that fully retained their antifungal activity. The
entire system of overexpression, extraction, and purification could be easily scaled up for the production of several grams
of protein. 相似文献

In the cyanic flowers ofDahlia variabilis (Asteraceae), an enzyme was demonstrated which catalyzes a glucosyl group transfer from UDP-glucose to the 5 position of anthocyanidin 3-O-glucoside and 3-O-malonylglucoside. The anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase (5GT) was purified 88-fold at 8 percnt; yield by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation followed by successive chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephacryl S-200 and Mono P. 5GT exhibited a pH optimum at 8.0 and a pI of 4. 2. Its apparent molecular weight calculated from Sephacryl S-200 was 53 kDa. Its activity was stimulated by 2-ME and DTE but strongly inhibited by PCMB and NEM. It was slightly activated by Mg2+ and Ca2+ but strongly inhibited by Hg2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Fe3+ and Al3+. No effect of EDTA was observed. The apparent Km values for cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, cyanidin 3-O-(6′′-O-malonyl)glucoside and UDP-glucose were 120 μmol/L, 75 μmol/L and 250 μmol/L, respectively. Pelargonidin 3-O-glucoside and malonylglucoside were also considerable substrates, but low relative activity was observed for delphinidin 3-O-glucoside which has yet not been found inDahlia flowers.Dahlia 5GT showed substrate specificities different from those reported forSilene, Petunia, Matthiola andPerilla. Neither ADP-glucose nor UDP-galactose could serve as glycosyl donor. 相似文献

UDP-glucose: anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase (5-GT) is responsible for the modification of anthocyanins to more stable molecules in complexes for co-pigmentation, supposedly resulting in a purple hue. The cDNA encoding 5-GT was isolated by a differential display applied to two different forms of anthocyanin production in Perilla frutescens var. crispa. Differential display was carried out for mRNA from the leaves of reddish-purple and green forms of P. frutescens, resulting in the isolation of five cDNA clones predominantly expressed in the red form. The cDNA encoded a polypeptide of 460 amino acids, exhibiting a low homology with the sequences of several glucosyltransferases including UDP-glucose: anthocyanidin 3-O-glucosyltransferase. By using this cDNA as the probe, we also isolated a homologous cDNA clone from a petal cDNA library of Verbena hybrida. To identify the biochemical function of the encoded proteins, these cDNAs were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. The recombinant proteins in the yeast extracts catalyzed the conversion of anthocyanidin 3-O-glucosides into the corresponding anthocyanidin 3,5-di-O-glucosides using UDP-glucose as a cofactor, indicating the identity of the cDNAs encoding 5-GT. Several biochemical properties (optimum pH, Km values, and sensitivity to inhibitors) were similar to those reported previously for 5-GTs. Southern blot analysis indicated the presence of two copies of 5-GT genes in the genome of both red and green forms of P. frutescens. The mRNA accumulation of the 5-GT gene was detected in the leaves of the red form but not in those of the green form and was induced by illumination of light, as observed for other structural genes for anthocyanin biosynthesis in P. frutescens. 相似文献

Glucosylation of anthocyanidin substrates at the 3-O-position is crucial for the red pigmentation of grape berries and wine. The gene that encodes the enzyme involved in this reaction has been cloned from Vitis labrusca cv. Concord, heterologously expressed, and the recombinant enzyme (rVL3GT) was characterized. VL3GT has 96% amino acid sequence identity with Vitis vinifera VV3GT and groups phylogenetically with several other flavonoid 3-O-glycosyltransferases. In vitro substrate specificity studies and kinetic analyses of rVL3GT indicate that this enzyme preferentially glucosylates cyanidin as compared with quercetin. Crude protein extracts from several Concord grape tissues were assayed for glucosyltransferase activity with cyanidin and quercetin as acceptor substrates. A comparison of the VL3GT activities toward with these substrates showed that the 3GT enzyme activity is consistent with the expression of VL3GT in these tissues and is coincident with the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in both location and developmental stages. Enzyme activities in grape mesocarp, pre-veraison exocarp, leaf, flower bud, and flower tissues glucosylated quercetin but not cyanidin at high rates, suggesting the presence of additional enzymes which are able to glucosylate the 3-O-position of flavonols with higher specificity than anthocyanidins. 相似文献

An anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase from flowers of Petunia hybrida was purified about 30-fold. Using uridine 5-diphosphoglucose as glucose donor (Km 0.22 mM), the enzyme glucosylated the 3-(p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside derivatives of delphinidin and petunidin (Km 3 M), isolated from pollen of Petunia. Delphinidin 3-rutinoside, cyanidin 3-rutinoside and delphinidin 3-glucoside did not serve as substrates. The glucosylation of petunidin 3-(p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside showed a pH-activity optimum at pH 8.3 and was neither stimulated by Mg2+ or Ca2+, nor inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. After separating the 5-O-glucosyltransferase from the anthocyanidin 3-O-glucosyltransferase by means of chromatofocusing, it was shown that both enzymes exhibit a high degree of positional specificity. The 5-O-glucosyltransferase activity was correlated with the gene An1, but not with the gene Gf.Abbreviations HPLC

A UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) gene from Acetobacter xylinum BRC5 has been cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene consists of 867 nucleotides and encodes a polypeptide of 289 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 31,493 Da. The amino acid sequences of the enzyme showed an 85.8% identity to those of an enzyme from A. xilinum ATCC 23768. A polyhistidine-UGPase fusion enzyme was expressed and purified from the transformed E. coli. The enzyme showed a 35,620-Da single protein band on SDS/PAGE and an about 160,000-Da protein band on 8-16% pore-gradient polyacrylamide gel, indicating the enzyme may be a tetramer or pentamer composed of four or five identical subunits. Kinetic analysis of the enzyme showed a typical Michaelis-Menten substrate saturation pattern, from which Km and Vmax were calculated to be 3.22 mM and 175.4 micromol x min(-1) x mg(-1) for UDP-glucose and 0.24 mM and 69.4 micromol x min(-1) x mg(-1) for PPi, respectively, required Mg2+ for maximal activity, and was inhibited by free pyrophosphate. Computer-aided comparison of the Acetobacter enzyme sequence with those of other bacterial enzymes found significant similarities among them and predicted that Lys84 is a catalytically important residue. Lys84 in the enzyme, which was also conserved in other bacterial enzyme sequences, was replaced by arginine or leucine. The K84R mutant enzyme was successfully expressed in E. coli and showed enzyme activity (63% of the wild-type enzyme activity), but K84L was not isolated in stable form. These results suggest that Lys84 is significant in not only catalysis but also maintenance of the active structure. 相似文献

The pink, red and crimson petal colors of carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus) are produced by anthocyanins. The anthocyanins, pelargonidin and cyanidin can be modified by two glucoses at the 3 and 5 positions, and by a single malic acid. Petal color variation can result from failure of such modification, for example, the lack of a glucose at the 5 position is responsible for the color variants of some commercial varieties. With respect to this variation, modification by 5-O-glucosyltransferase plays the most important role in glucosylation at the 5 position. Recently, we identified a novel acyl-glucose-dependent anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase (AA5GT), that uses acyl-glucoses, but not UDP-glucose, as the glucose donor. Although we showed that loss of AA5GT expression was responsible for loss of glucosylation at the 5 position of anthocyanin in some varieties, the cause of this repression of AA5GT expression could not be determined. Here, we have succeeded in isolating the AA5GT gene and found that it consists of 12 exons and 11 introns. In carnation varieties lacking a glucose at the 5 position, we identified the insertion of two different retrotransposons, Ty1dic1 and Retdic1, into AA5GT. Ty1dic1, which belongs to the class I long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons of Ty1/copia families, was inserted into exon 10. Retdic1, which includes a long interspersed nuclear element (LINE)-like sequence, was inserted into intron 5. Thus, insertion of either Ty1dic1 or Retdic1 can disrupt AA5GT and result in the lack of glucosylation at the 5 position in anthocyanins. 相似文献

The aim of this work is to increase the efficiency of the biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by the introduction of bacterial genes into the plant genome. For this purpose, we selected the bphC gene encoding 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl-1,2-dioxygenase from Pseudomonas testosteroni B-356 to be cloned into tobacco plants. The dihydroxybiphenyldioxygenase enzyme is the third enzyme in the biphenyl degradation pathway, and its unique function is the cleavage of biphenyl. Three different constructs were designed and prepared in E. coli: the bphC gene being fused with the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene, with the luciferase (LUC) gene, and with histidine tail in three separate plant cloning vectors. The GUS and LUC genes were chosen because they can be used as markers for the easy detection of transgenic plants, while histidine tail better enables the isolation of protein expressed in plant tissue. The prepared vectors were then introduced into cells of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The transient expression of the prepared genes was first studied in cells of Nicotiana tabacum. Once this ability had been established, model tobacco plants were transformed by agrobacterial infection with the bphC/GUS, bphC/LUC, and bphC/His genes. The transformed regenerants were selected on media using a selective antibiotic, and the presence of transgenes and mRNA was determined by PCR and RT-PCR. The expression of the fused proteins BphC/GUS and BphC/LUC was confirmed histochemically by analysis of the expression of their detection markers. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the presence of the BphC/His protein immunochemically using a mouse anti-His antibody. Growth and viability of transgenic plants in the presence of PCBs was compared with control plants. 相似文献
