Cephalotaxus, commonly called plum yew or cowtail pine, is a genus of conifers comprising 11 species, treated in either the Cephalotaxaceae, or in the Taxaceae when that family is considered in a broad sense. The genus is endemic to eastern Asia, though fossil evidence shows it had a wider Northern Hemisphere distribution in the past. The species are evergreen shrubs and small trees reaching 1.0–10 m (rarely to 20 m) tall.
The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering and synthetic biology, provides a novel oxidase from cephalotaxus plants, nucleotide for coding the oxidase, a recombinant vector containing the nucleotide and a host containing the vector, and further provides application of the oxidase in preparation of cephalotaxus diterpenoid compounds. The oxidase provided by the invention can efficiently catalyze C-17 site oxidation of cephalotaxene, and a new method is provided for obtaining a cephalotaxane diterpenoid compound by adopting a synthetic biological means.
The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering and synthetic biology, provides a novel oxidase from cephalotaxus plants, nucleotide for coding the oxidase, a carrier containing the nucleotide and a host containing the carrier, and further provides application of the oxidase in preparation of cephalotaxus diterpenoid compounds. The oxidase provided by the invention can be applied to efficient catalytic generation of cephalotaxane diterpenes of a C19 cycloheptatrienone structure type represented by cephalotaxus hainanensis lactone, and lays a solid foundation for efficient production of important active molecules such as cephalotaxus hainanensis lactone and the like through biosynthesis and synthetic biological means; and a prospect is developed for large-scale and commercialized application of the compound.
