黄芩中黄酮O-糖基转移酶的发现及功能表征

Discovery and functional characterization of flavone O-glycosyltransferases in Scutellaria baicalensis

  • 摘要: 黄芩是具有抗病毒、抗氧化、抗炎等药理活性的传统中药,其主要活性成分为黄酮-O-葡萄糖醛酸苷,其次是O-葡萄糖苷,有丰富的结构多样性。目前从黄芩共鉴定了3个O-糖基转移酶,但仍不足以解释黄酮糖苷结构多样性的原因。本研究通过BLAST分析,从黄芩中发现了9条糖基转移酶候选基因。进一步对候选基因进行体外表达与功能表征,证实3种新颖的O-糖基转移酶均可催化形成黄芩的主要糖苷类成分,如黄芩苷、汉黄芩苷等,并能够催化外源的黄酮底物发生O-糖基化反应。本研究对于阐明黄芩黄酮糖苷类活性成分的生物合成途径及酶催化合成具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: Huang-Qin is a traditional Chinese medicine with antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Its major bioactive compounds are diverse flavone O-glucuronides and glucosides. Although three flavonoid O-glycosyltransferases have been identified from S. baicalensis, this information is not sufficient to elucidate the structural diversity of flavonoid glycosides. In this study, nine glycosyltransferase candidate genes were discovered from S. baicalensis by BLAST analysis and their functions were characterized after heterologous expression. Three new flavone O-glycosyltransferases were able to catalyze the formation of major compounds in S. baicalensis, including baicalin and wogonoside. These enzymes could also utilize exogenous flavones as sugar acceptors. This work further elucidates biosynthetic pathways for Scutellaria flavonoid O-glycosides.
