The application discloses a flavone 6-C-
glycosyltransferase mutant for improving the yield of isohyduloside, and provides a
mutant protein of GyCGT1, which comprises the following steps: mutating the
amino acid residues at positions 7, 8, 9, 18, 205, 258, 280 and 417 of SEQ ID NO: 2, and keeping the
amino acid residues at other positions unchanged, so that a
protein with the same function is obtained; or the
mutant protein of GyCGT1 comprises the following steps: mutating the
amino acid residues at positions 7, 9 and 205 of SEQ ID NO: 2, and keeping the amino acid residues at other positions unchanged, so that a protein with the same function is obtained. The
glycosyltransferase GyCGT1 mutant is obtained through the method, and the yield of isohyduloside is increased by 8 times in the
fermentation of the constructed
Escherichia coli recombinant strain in a 50mL shaking flask
system, so that the mutant has a good prospect for industrial production application.
