Problems solved by technology

[0003] The FAE1 (Fatty Acid Elongase 1) gene is a key gene that regulates erucic acid synthesis. Although James et al. first cloned the FAE1 gene from Arabidopsis thaliana, complete FAE1 genes have been isolated from various cruciferous plants. However, the cloning of the FAE1 gene is limited to a few species of Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica, and Brassicaceae is the main germplasm resource of erucic acid distribution. There are many types of plants and the content of erucic acid is complex. Appropriate materials for cloning key genes of acid synthesis

Embodiment 1

[0016] Embodiment 1, the cloning of gene BtFAE1

[0017] To clone BtFAE1, the specific steps are as follows:

[0018] 1. Acquisition of BtFAE1 gene

[0019] African mustard is cultivated under normal conditions. After the true leaves grow, the leaves are collected, DNA is extracted from the leaves, polymerase chain reaction is carried out, and the BtFAE1 gene is finally obtained.

[0020] 1. Extraction of African mustard genomic DNA

[0021] Take about 0.2g of fresh young living plant leaves, fully grind them under liquid nitrogen freezing conditions, transfer them to a 1.5mL centrifuge tube, add 500μL CTAB extract, and bathe in water at 65°C for 45min, during which time they are inverted and mixed 3 times; add 500μL volume Chloroform-isoamyl alcohol with a ratio of 24:1, mixed evenly, 12000r·min -1 Centrifuge for 15 min; take the supernatant, add 2 times the volume of absolute ethanol, and put it in the refrigerator at -20°C overnight; 4000r min -1 Centrifuge for 15min to...

Embodiment 2

[0031] Example 2, Functional Verification of BtFAE1 Gene

[0032] 1. High expression of BtFAE1 gene in yeast

[0033] In order to demonstrate the coding function of the BtFAE1 gene, the present invention clones the BtFAE1 gene between the BamHI and KpnI sites of pYES2 / NT C from Invitrogen, and transforms the yeast strain InvSc1 to obtain high-level expression.

[0034] The present invention utilizes the multiple cloning sites of the pYES2 / NT C high-efficiency expression vector of Invitrogen Company to realize the high-efficiency expression of BtFAE1. The enzyme cleavage site used in this experiment makes the 5' end of the product expressed by the pYES2 / NT C expression vector add 6 consecutive His fusion proteins, and these 6 consecutive His constitute the specific binding site of i-NTA gel. Therefore, the expression product can be purified by affinity chromatography.

[0035] The pMD-BtFAE1 recombinant vector carrying the BtFAE1 gene and the pYES2 / NT C expression vector were...

Abstract

The invention provides a brassicatournefortii gouan fatty acid elongase and a coding gene thereof (BtFAE1). The gene is introduced in to yeast; and the erucic acid content in the recombinant yeast reaches 2.33+ / -0.38%. The protein and the coding gene thereof have important theoretical and practical significance for the research of a genetic control mechanism of plant erucic acids, the increasement of the erucic acid content and the improvement of related traits, can play an important role in the genetic engineering improvement of the plant erucic acid genes, and have wide application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering, more specifically, relates to African mustard (Brassicatournefortii Gouan) fatty acid elongase (FAE1) and its coding gene. Background technique [0002] Erucic acid (C22:1) is a very long chain unsaturated fatty acid, mainly found in the seeds of Brassicaceae and Tropaeolaceae. As a metabolite of plants, erucic acid also affects the growth and development of plants to a certain extent, and participates in the synthesis of biofilm cutin or wax in the interaction between plants and the environment. In terms of nutritional value, erucic acid is an anti-nutritional component of edible oil, which is not easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body, and it is easy to cause diseases such as coronary heart disease and fatty liver. However, in industry, erucic acid and its derivatives, such as erucic acid amide, have good plasticity and hydrophobicity, so they have ...
