Embodiment 1

[0050] Example 1 Content analysis of diosgenin in leaves and tuber tissues of Dioscorea shield

[0051] Wild Dioscorea scutellaria was collected in Zhuxi County, Hubei Province, China, and its tubers were transplanted into the soil for plant propagation. The leaves and tubers of 5-month seedling age and the tubers of 8-month seedling age were collected (representative plants such as figure 1 Shown in A and B) for the extraction of diosgenin and diosgenin, the extraction method is as follows:

[0052] Take about 1 g of fresh plant tissue and grind the sample into powder in liquid nitrogen. The sample powder is ultrasonically extracted in 1 ml of methanol at 30°C for 20 min (3 biological replicates for each sample), and the methanol extract is evaporated to dryness in vacuum. , Adding sulfuric acid with a final concentration of 1.5M, acidolysis at 100°C for 4 hours, the residue after acidolysis was extracted with n-hexane, washed with water until neutral, the n-hexane extract wa...

Embodiment 2

[0055] Example 2 Obtaining the full-length cDNA sequence of the diosgenin synthesis gene

[0056] 1, get the total RNA ( figure 2 ), the specific method is as follows:

[0057] About 100 mg of Dioscorea scutellaria plant tubers were weighed and quickly ground in liquid nitrogen, and the ground sample powder was extracted with the EASYspin plus plant RNA rapid extraction kit (Adelaide) to extract total RNA.

[0058] 2. Reverse transcribe RNA into cDNA, the specific method is as follows:

[0059] Add the following components to an RNase-free PCR tube: 4 μl RNA (about 1.0 μg), 1 μl Oligo(dT)18, and 1 μl ldNTP MIX (10 mM). The above mixture was pre-denatured at 65°C for 5 minutes, and then immediately placed on ice, followed by adding 4 μl of 5× reverse transcriptase buffer, 0.5 μl of RNase inhibitor and 1 μl of reverse transcriptase, mixed well and incubated at 42°C for 1 hour to synthesize First strand cDNA. The synthesized cDNA was stored in a -80°C refrigerator.

Embodiment 3

[0071] Example 3 Application of diosgenin synthesis gene

[0072] The CYP90B71 and CYP90G6 genes were cloned into the same yeast expression vector pESC-URA to obtain the recombinant vector pESC-URA-CYP90B71-CYP90G6, and the CYP94N8 gene was cloned into the yeast expression plasmid pESC-Leu2d-CPR to obtain the recombinant vector pESC-Leu2d-CPR- CYP94N8. The recombinant plasmids pESC-URA-CYP90B71-CYP90G6 and pESC-Leu2d-CPR-CYP94N8 were simultaneously transferred into the cholesterol-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae RH6829 strain (this strain has been described in the literature Souza, C.M. et al. A stable yeast strain efficiently producing cholesterol instead ofergosterol is functional for tryptophan uptake, but not weak organic acid resistance. Metab.Eng.13, 555-569 (2011), which can be provided by Zhang Yansheng's research group of Shanghai University), the control is the co-expression of empty vector pESC-URA and pESC-Leu2d-CPR For transformation, the transgenic yeast was ...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of biosynthesis of diosgenin, and particularly relates to a diosgenin synthesis related protein as well as a coding gene and an application thereof. The diosgenin synthesis related protein provided by the invention has an amino acid sequence as shown in any one of SEQ ID NO.1-3. The protein and the coding gene thereof participate in synthesis of diosgenin, and provide necessary gene resources for biosynthesis of diosgenin. According to the invention, saccharomyces cerevisiae capable of producing cholesterol is used as a host bacterium to construct a recombinant engineering bacterium containing three genes of a diosgenin synthesis pathway from a dioscorea zingiberensis plant. The recombinant engineering bacterium can oxidize cholesterol to generate diosgenin, thereby achieving heterologous biosynthesis of diosgenin in the saccharomyces cerevisiae. The invention provides an effective method for solving the problems of high production cost and serious environmental pollution in diosgenin production by a plant extraction method, and has a relatively good application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biosynthesis of diosgenin, in particular to a protein related to diosgenin synthesis, its encoding gene and its application. Background technique [0002] Dioscin is the precursor of more than 200 kinds of hormonal drugs in the world. The global demand for diosgenin is about 2000 tons per year, and the price per ton of diosgenin is about 530,000 RMB. China is the main exporter of diosgenin in the world (about 67% of diosgenin is exported to China). Dioscoreaceae plants are the main synthetic plants of diosgenin, and diosgenin is the main source of diosgenin in China, and its production method is extraction and purification from plants. This traditional phytochemical extraction method can cause severe acid pollution. [0003] Dioscorea scutellaria is the main source plant of diosgenin in China, and excavating the genes related to diosgenin synthesis is of great significance for the biosynthesis of diosge...
