Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a glycosyltransferase gene obtained from the genome of Bacillus subtilis and its application in the preparation of mogroside. Background Technology

[0002] Natural products are bioactive substances that have been selected and optimized by nature over a long period of time, and are the most important source of drug discovery. Mogrosides are a general term for saponins isolated from *Siraitia grosvenorii*, a plant in the Cucurbitaceae family, and are a class of triterpenoid compounds. Mogrosides are the main bioactive components of *Siraitia grosvenorii*, and possess numerous pharmacological activities such as antitussive and expectorant effects, anticancer properties, antioxidant effects, and blood sugar regulation. Currently, more than 20 types of mogrosides have been isolated. However, the total saponin content in *Siraitia grosvenorii* is low, only 0.8%–1.3% (w / w) in the whole fruit, and the complex structure of these substances makes product purification difficult.

[0003] The synthesis and yield enhancement of mogrosides using biotechnology has become a research hotspot. In recent years, researchers have conducted studies on the biosynthesis of mogrosides through tissue culture and biotransformation, providing fundamental components for the production of mogrosides through synthetic biology. Itkin et al. identified glycosyltransferase UGT720-269-1, which acts on the C3-OH and C24-OH sites of mogroside derived from monk fruit, and glycosyltransferase UGT94-289-3, which acts on the C3-O-Glc and C24-O-Glc sites of mogroside IIe. Furthermore, the glycosyltransferase UGT74AC1, which acts on the C3-OH site of mogroside, identified by Sun Yuanxia's team, showed a nearly thousand-fold increase in catalytic activity after semi-rational design modification, and also gained additional C24-OH glycan elongation function. However, to date, the number of known functional genes involved in the biosynthesis of mogrosides remains relatively small, especially glycosyltransferase genes that catalyze glycan elongation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the limited number of genes known to be related to the biosynthesis of mogrosides and the extremely low content of mogrosides in whole fruit, this invention provides a novel glycosyltransferase gene obtained from the Bacillus subtilis genome that can act on the CC3-O-Glc site of mogrosides to extend glucosides, and its application in the preparation of high-sugar mogrosides.

[0005] The glycosyltransferase gene provided by this invention has the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. This glycosyltransferase gene was obtained by PCR amplification using extracted Bacillus subtilis genomic DNA as a template, primer pair yojK1-28a-F / R, and the PCR product was recovered using agarose gel electrophoresis; it is named yojK1.

[0006] In addition, the present invention also provides a glycosyltransferase encoded by the above-mentioned glycosyltransferase gene, the amino acid sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NOs: 2.

[0007] In addition, the present invention also provides nucleic acid constructs or expression vectors containing the above-mentioned glycosyltransferase gene or expressing the above-mentioned glycosyltransferase.

[0008] In addition, the present invention also provides host cells containing the above-mentioned nucleic acid constructs or expression vectors.

[0009] Meanwhile, the present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned glycosyltransferase, which can be used in the preparation of mogroside and its analogues by glycosyl catalytic reactions.

[0010] Meanwhile, the present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned host cells, which can be used to prepare glycosyltransferases for glycosyl catalytic reactions, or to directly prepare mogrosides and their analogues.

[0011] Specifically, the reaction formulas for the glycosyl catalytic reactions of the aforementioned glycosyltransferases or host cells are as follows:

[0012]

[0013] In the formula, R1, R2, and R3 are H, monosaccharide glycosyl groups, or polysaccharide glycosyl groups.

[0014] The substrates R1 and R2 of formula (I) were substituted to form compounds of formula (II), as shown in Table 1.

[0015] Table 1. Production of high-glucose mogrosides catalyzed by glycosyltransferase yojK1.

[0016]

[0017] Specifically, this invention can also be used to accelerate the ripening of bitter mogrosides in immature monk fruit, thereby increasing the content of sweet glycosides in monk fruit. It can be used alone or in combination with other glycosyltransferases (such as UGT153033 and UGT30033) for better catalysis.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0019] 1. The glycosyltransferase gene of the present invention makes up for the deficiencies in the prior art, which is that there are few known functional genes involved in the biosynthesis of mogrosides, especially glycosyltransferase genes that can catalyze the extension of sugar chains, and that the molecular synthesis mechanism of most mogrosides has not been fully elucidated, thus providing a new gene for the synthesis of mogrosides.

[0020] 2. The glycosyltransferase identified in this invention can specifically recognize the C3-O-Glc site of mogroside, thereby achieving mogroside glycan chain elongation.

[0021] 3. The glycosyltransferase produced by the gene expression of the present invention can be used to construct a mogroside microbial cell factory using synthetic biology techniques, thereby achieving efficient synthesis of various mogrosides and increasing the synthesis pathways and yield of mogrosides.

[0022] 4. The glycosyltransferase produced by the gene expression of the present invention can realize in vitro glycosylation reaction and catalyze the generation of various mogrosides, thereby increasing the synthesis pathway and yield of mogrosides. Attached Figure Description

[0106] Refer to the preparation process in Implementation 2.

[0107] (4) Expression of glycosyltransferases in Escherichia coli

[0108] The preparation process is the same as in Example 2. The difference is that the recombinant plasmids pET32a-UGT153033 and pET32a-UGT30033 were transformed into *E. coli* Rosetta (DE3) competent cells via heat shock, with the empty vector pET32a serving as a negative control.

The cell lysate of the obtained recombinant *E. coli* Rosetta-pET32a-UGT30033 was also used as a crude enzyme solution for glycosylation, and this crude enzyme solution has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6.

[0109] (II) In vitro application of glycosyltransferases promotes the increase of sweet glycoside content in monk fruit extract.

[0110] Fresh monk fruit samples were removed from a -80°C freezer and dehydrated in a vacuum freeze dryer for 72 hours. Appropriate amounts of sample and water were weighed at a 1:100 material-to-liquid ratio, mixed, and vortexed. The mixture was then placed in an ultrasonic water bath for extraction, sonicated at 40 kHz for 1 hour at room temperature. The supernatant was collected by centrifugation for subsequent catalysis and testing.

[0111] UGT153033, UGT30033, and yojK1 were induced and expressed, and then used to co-catalyze the immature monk fruit extract to increase the content of sweet glycosides in the extract. The contents of various mogrosides were quantitatively analyzed by LC-QQQ-MS, and the results are shown in Table 5.

[0113]

[0114] In the table, MG1 represents mogroside monoglycosides (IA1, IE1); MG2 represents mogroside disaccharides (IIA1, IIA2, IIe, 11-O-IIA); MG3 represents mogroside triglycosides (IIIA1, III, IIIe, 11-O-IIIA1, 11-O-III, 11-O-IIIe); MG4 represents mogroside tetraglycosides (IVa, IVe, IVx, SMG I, 11-O-SMMG I); and MG5 represents mogroside 5glycosides (V, Vx, and 11-OV).

[0115] The results showed that, after being catalyzed by glycosyltransferase, the original higher content of MG1, MG2, and MG3 in the extract of immature monk fruit was converted into sweeter glycosides MG4 and MG5. This indicates that the glycosyltransferase can be used to accelerate the ripening of bitter mogrosides in immature monk fruit, thereby increasing the content of sweet glycosides in monk fruit.
