The invention discloses a platycodon grandiflorum
phosphomannose isomerase gene PgPMI as well as an encoded product and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of platycodon grandiflorum genes. According to the invention, the platycodon grandiflorum
phosphomannose isomerase gene PgPMI is cloned from platycodon grandiflorum, and the
nucleotide sequence of the platycodon grandiflorum
phosphomannose isomerase gene PgPMI is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1. According to the invention, the expression of the PgPMI gene in
escherichia coli is successfully realized, and an enzymatic experiment verifies that the PgPMI has catalytic activity, so that
mannose-6-
phosphoric acid and
fructose-6-
phosphoric acid can be mutually converted, and a foundation is laid for revealing
biosynthesis of platycodon grandiflorum
polysaccharide. In addition, the platycodon grandiflorum phosphomannose
isomerase can also be applied to
biosynthesis pathways of
plant ascorbic acid,
cell walls, glycosylated proteins, lipoproteins,
glycosyl phosphate inositol ankyrin and the like.
