preparation example Construction

[0026] In this embodiment, the preparation method of the HpCrtR-b2 gene includes the following steps: subject Haematococcus pluvialis to high light and high salt treatment, collect algal cells of different treatment time periods, and extract total RNA; use TaKaRa's PrimeScript RTreagent Kit with gDNA Eraser (Perfect Real Time) kit. According to the kit instructions, using Oligo (dT18) as an anchor primer, the RNA was reverse-transcribed to obtain the first-strand cDNA; the first-strand cDNA was used as a template, and the designed specific primers were used to obtain high-resolution DNA using Invitrogen Platinum SuperFi DNA Ploymerase. The real enzyme was used to amplify the HpCrtR-b2 gene. The target fragment was cloned by T-A cloning method and verified by sequencing.

[0027] In this example, the application of the HpCrtR-b2 gene in converting β-carotene into zeaxanthin includes the following steps: link the codon-optimized artificially synthesized HpCrtR-b2 to the pET In...

[0032] Isolation, Cloning and Obtaining of HpCrtR-b2 Gene from Haematococcus Pluvialls

[0033] The material used in this embodiment is the algal cell of Haematococcus pluvialis strain 192.80 (purchased from The CultureCollection of the University of Germany). After culturing, the algal cells treated with high light and high salt for 0h, 1.5h, 3h, 6h, 9h, 12h, 24h, and 48h were collected, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator (-80°C). The collected algal cells were mixed for subsequent implementation.

[0034] 1) Extraction of total RNA from Haematococcus pluvialis

[0035] According to the instructions of the RNAfast200 total RNA rapid extraction kit (purchased from Shanghai Feijie Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), the specific operation is as follows: put the algae cells in a 1.5mL centrifuge tube, add 500 μL of RA2 solution, and immediately shake and mix for a few seconds; All the lysates are sucked into the inner cannula, centri...

[0051] Homology Analysis of HpCrtR-b2

[0052] By comparing with the reported Haematococcus pluvialis β-carotene hydroxylase gene (HpCrtR-b1, GeneBank accession number: AF162276), it was found that the nucleotide sequence similarity was only 79.83%, and the similarity of the coding region was 79.88%. Using the online analysis software SMART (http: / / smart.embl.de / smart / set_mode.cgi?NORMAL=1) to analyze the protein domain of the deduced amino acid sequence of the HpCrtR-b2 gene, it was found that the protein contained a 23-amino acid The transmembrane region and a 136-amino acid fatty acid / carotene hydroxylase domain (FA_hydroxylase domain) conform to the characteristics of the β-carotene hydroxylase gene.

Abstract

The present invention discloses beta-carotene hydroxylase and a gene and an application thereof, and the beta-carotene hydroxylase has an amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID NO:2. The provided beta-carotene hydroxylase can more efficiently convert beta-carotene to obtain a zeaxanthin product with higher purity. The determination shows that the zeaxanthin content reaches up to 59.1 mg / g dry weightin an escherichia coli transformant containing the beta-carotene hydroxylase gene (HpCrtR-b2 gene). In addition, the zeaxanthin in the escherichia coli transformant containing the HpCrtR-b2 gene accounts for 84.6% of a total detected compound and is obviously higher than that in an another reported haematococcus pluvialis beta-carotene hydroxylase (73.1%). The provided beta-carotene hydroxylase can convert beta-carotene into astaxanthin under synergistic effects of beta-carotene oxidase / ketolase gene BKT1.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microalgae genetic engineering technology, in particular to a beta-carotene hydroxylase and its gene and application. Background technique [0002] Haematococcus pluvialis is a single-celled green algae that mainly grows in freshwater environments, belonging to Chlorophata, Chloro-phyceae, Volvocales, Rhodococcus Algae (Haematococcaceae), Haematococcus (Haematococcus). Under stimulating conditions, the algae can accumulate a large amount of astaxanthin and turn red. Astaxanthin is the final product of carotenoid synthesis and metabolism, and its intermediate metabolites, such as phytoene, lycopene, β-carotene, and zeaxanthin, have a certain degree of content in Haematococcus pluvialis. accumulation. In addition to astaxanthin, which is the most efficient natural antioxidant and natural colorant, is widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics and agriculture, other carotenoid intermediates also have antiox...
