The application discloses a platycodon grandiflorum phosphoglucoisomerase
gene PgGPI and an application of a product coded by the platycodon grandiflorum phosphoglucoisomerase
gene PgGPI, and belongs to the technical field of platycodon grandiflorum genes. The platycodon grandiflorum phosphoglucoisomerase
gene PgGPI is cloned from the platycodon grandiflorum, and a
nucleotide sequence of the platycodon grandiflorum phosphoglucoisomerase gene PgGPI is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1. The PgGPI gene is successfully expressed in
Escherichia coli, and it is verified through an enzymatic experiment that the PgGPI has catalytic activity and can effectively isomerize glucose-6-
phosphate into
fructose-6-
phosphate, thereby laying a
solid foundation for further exploring a
biosynthesis mechanism of the platycodon grandiflorum
polysaccharide. In addition, by means of the PgGPI gene and
gene engineering technology, it is expected to significantly improve the content of the
polysaccharide substance in the platycodon grandiflorum.
