The invention discloses a
drug target protein Ugd and application thereof in
agriculture, and relates to the technical field of agricultural
biology. The
UDP glucose 6-
dehydrogenase protein (Ugd) is identified from
sclerotium rolfsii and
fusarium graminearum through target stability analysis of a
drug affinity reaction by taking a
plant source
natural product butenyl
phthalide as a probe; according to the application disclosed by the invention, the Ugd
protein is identified as a potential action target of butenyl
phthalide for the first time, functional domains of the Ugd
protein in
sclerotium rolfsii and
fusarium graminearum are defined, amino acids at the 371-466th sites of the
fusarium graminearum Ugd protein form an important functional domain, amino acids at the 336-452 sites of the
sclerotium rolfsii Ugd protein form a key functional domain, and the Ugd protein is identified as the potential action target of butenyl
phthalide. The functional domains can be used as specific
receptor sites for designing targeted drugs, and the drugs specifically bound with the Ugd protein can be accurately designed according to molecular structure characteristics of the functional domains and the structural domains through technologies such as molecular docking and the like.
