[0033] 2.2 Vector double digestion and ligation The PMAL-C5X vector was double-digested with restriction endonucleases NdeI and BamHI, and the digested vector fragments were recovered. The recovered target gene fragment and the digested PMAL-C5X vector fragment were ligated with DNA ligase to obtain the recombinant vector ligation product.

[0034] 2.3 Transformation and Validation of Recombinant Vectors The ligation product was transformed into *E. coli* DH5α competent cells using a heat shock method. The specific procedure was as follows: 30 min on ice, 1 min at 42°C, 5 min on ice, 500 μl of antibiotic-free LB medium was added, and the cells were incubated at 37°C with a shaker at 200 rpm for 45 min. The resulting bacterial culture was then plated onto LB agar containing 100 mg / L Amp and incubated upside down at 37°C for 12–14 h. Single colonies were picked from the agar and subjected to colony PCR verification (primers were the same as in step 1). Recombinant plasmids were extracted from PCR-positive colonies and sequenced. Recombinant plasmids with correct sequencing results were named CsCFAT-PMAL recombinant plasmids.

[0035] 3. Expression of recombinant acyltransferase CsCFAT 3.1 Transformation of expression strains with recombinant plasmids The CsCFAT-PMAL recombinant plasmid and PMAL-C5X empty vector plasmid were transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) competent cells by chemical transformation. The cells were plated on LB solid medium containing Ampr resistance and incubated upside down at 37°C for 10 h. Single colonies were picked and streaked, and colony PCR was used to verify whether the recombinant plasmids were successfully transformed. Samples with correct colony PCR bands were selected.

[0036] 3.2 Preservation of bacterial strains Take 500 μL of the bacterial culture of the positive strain that was verified by PCR, mix it thoroughly with 500 μL of 50% sterile glycerol, aliquot it into cryovials, and store at -80℃ for later use.

[0037] 3.3 Induced expression of recombinant proteins Select a verified positive monoclonal strain and incubate it in 5 mL of LB liquid medium containing Amp resistance for 10–12 h at 37°C with a constant-temperature shaker at 200–220 rpm. Take 200 μL of the cultured bacterial suspension and dilute it 1:100 to 200 mL of LB liquid medium containing the same resistance for further culture. Incubate at 37°C with a constant-temperature shaker at 200–220 rpm until the bacterial suspension reaches OD. 600 =0.6.

[0038] Take 2 mL of bacterial culture for later use. Add IPTG, the inducer, to the remaining culture medium. Set the constant temperature shaker to 16℃ and 200-220 r / min to induce for 24 h. Take 2 mL of the induced bacterial culture. Centrifuge the remaining bacterial culture at 4000 g, 4℃, and 15 min using a refrigerated centrifuge to remove the supernatant. Collect the induced bacterial cells. Add 20-25 mL of Buffer 1 to the pellet to resuspend the bacterial cells. Collect the resuspension in a 50 mL centrifuge tube.

[0039] The above liquid was used to break down the bacterial cells using an ultrasonic disruptor for 10 minutes (30W power, 2 seconds of sonication, 5 seconds of pause). After disruption, the cells were centrifuged at 5000 rpm and 4°C for 15 minutes using a low-temperature refrigerated centrifuge. The supernatant was collected for protein purification.

[0040] 4. Purification of recombinant acyltransferase CsCFAT 4.1 Resin Pretreatment and Column Packing Take the resin for protein purification, stir it to completely suspend the resin; transfer the suspended resin to a gravity flow chromatography column, let it stand until the resin settles naturally, drain the storage buffer from the tube, then equilibrate the column with 10 times the volume of the resin in Buffer1, and drain the buffer completely at a rate of 0.5~1 mL / min.

[0041] 4.2 Target protein binding and elution of contaminating proteins Slowly add the supernatant obtained in step 3.3 into the equilibrated chromatography column and let it stand at 4°C for 0.5 to 1 hour to allow the target protein to fully bind with the resin. Then, drain the waste liquid from the column at a flow rate of 0.5 to 1 mL / min and wash the resin with 5 to 10 column volumes of Buffer 1 to elute impurities.

[0042] 4.3 Elution and Validation of Target Protein The target protein was eluted with 2 column volumes of Buffer 2, and the eluent was collected in 3 fractions. The collected eluent was then analyzed by SDSPAGE electrophoresis.

[0043] 5. Experimental Results The final SDS-PAGE electrophoresis results of the CsCFAT recombinant protein and the PMAL-C5X empty vector protein are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, by Figure 1 It can be seen that the molecular weight of the CsCFAT recombinant protein band containing the MBP tag is about 97 kDa, and the molecular weight of the protein band expressed by the PMAL-C5X empty vector is about 42 kDa, both within a similar range. The purified recombinant protein can be used for subsequent in vitro enzyme activity experiments.

[0044] Example 2: In vitro enzyme activity assay and product identification of recombinant acyltransferase CsCFAT 1. In vitro enzyme-catalyzed reaction A 620 μL enzyme reaction system was constructed with the following composition: 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH=8), 20 μM kaempferol-3-O-glucoside (substrate), 20 μM p-coumaroyl-CoA (acyl donor), and 10 μL of purified CsCFAT recombinant protein (protein concentration 10-20 μg). A negative control group was set up by replacing the CsCFAT recombinant protein in the system with an equal amount of PMAL-C5X empty vector expression protein. The reaction system was incubated in a 40℃ water bath for 4 h, and then 620 μL of methanol was added to terminate the reaction. The mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 15 min at 4℃, and 500 μL of supernatant was collected and stored in a brown liquid chromatography bottle for identification by LC-Q-Tof-MS.

[0045] 2. LCQ-Tof-MS identification of the product The reaction products in the supernatant were analyzed using LCQ-Tof-MS under the following detection conditions: Scanning mode: Negative ion scan; Scan range: m / z 100~1500; Sheath gas temperature: 350℃; Atomizer pressure: 35 psi; Gas flow rate: 8 L / min; Gas temperature: 320℃; Sheath air flow rate: 11L / min.

[0046] The final in vitro enzyme activity chemical map is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, by Figure 2 It can be seen that, with p-coumaryl-CoA as the acyl donor, kaempferol-3- O When glucosinolate is used as a substrate, CsCFAT (amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1) catalyzes the formation of a single product peak compared to the empty protein. By comparing the retention time and ion fragmentation information of the product peak and the standard, the product was identified as kaempferol-3- O -(2'-p-coumaryl)-glucoside, with a molecular mass-to-charge ratio of 593 in negative ion mode. These results indicate that, under in vitro conditions, CsCFAT can catalyze the catalysis of kaempferol-3- using p-coumaryl-CoA as an acyl donor. O -Kaempferol-3- corresponding to glucoside formation-- O -(2'-p-coumaryl)-glucoside.
