Abstract:
Lu Dangshen is the geoherb in Shanxi Province. The content of Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharides (CPP) in Lu Dangshen is more than that in other Codonopsis Radix from other regions. Glycosyltransferase is the key enzyme for the synthesis of bioactive components, such as CPP and tangshenoside I. Based on the transcriptome data of C. pilosula [Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf.] from different producing areas, this study carried out functional annotation of GO and KEGG, conservative domain analysis, phylogenetic tree analysis and expression pattern analysis of glycosyltransferase genes in C. pilosula to provides a theoretical basis for exploring the mechanism of genuineness formation in Lu Dangshen. In this study, 98 glycosyltransferase genes were screened and identified, which belonged to GT family 1, GT family 2, GT family 90 and other families. By GO functional annotation, it was found that most of the glycosyltransferase genes had catalytic activity. Analysis of KEGG functional annotation showed that C. pilosula glycosyltransferase was mainly involved in glycan organism and terpenoid and polyketone metabolism. Among them, conserved domain of 42 glycosyltransferase genes in GT family 1 was [X]-W-[2X]-Q-[3X]-[LH]-[5X]-[FLTHCGWNS]-[2X]-E-[4X]-[GVP]-[4X]-P-[4X]-Q-[2X]-[NAK]. Phylogenetic tree analysis based on the glycosyltransferase sequence in Arabidopsis thaliana showed that C. pilosula glycosyltransferases were mainly located in Arabidopsis thaliana UGT73, 72 and 85 branches. Gene expression pattern analysis showed that expression of CpUGT73AH2 was higher in Lu Dangshen than that in Baitiaodang and could respond to drought and low temperature stress. In conclusion, a glycosyltransferase gene CpUGT73AH2, which is involved in the metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides and can respond to environmental stress, was screened from the C. pilosula glycosyltransferase family 1, which was used to further study the role of C. pilosula glycosyltransferase in Lu Dangshen. It laid a theoretical foundation for further study on the role of C. pilosula glycosyltransferase in the formation of Lu Dangshen.
