The application provides a phloridzin
glycosyltransferase gene in
dendrobium officinale DoUGT885 and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
gene cloning. Based on the
dendrobium officinale
genome data, a key
enzyme for synthesizing phloridzin, i.e. a phloridzin
glycosyltransferase gene, is successfully explored and identified by a
reverse genetics method DoUGT885 , and it is confirmed that DoUGT885 the
glycosyltransferase can specifically catalyze the
glycosylation of phloridzin to generate phloridzin, which proves that the glycosyltransferase can specifically catalyze the
glycosylation of phloridzin to generate phloridzin, and solves the problem of the scarcity of high-efficiency and specific glycosyltransferase elements in the
biosynthesis of phloridzin. The discovery of the
enzyme breaks the source limitation of the existing phloridzin synthesis
enzyme, provides a new high-quality enzyme element selection for the
biosynthesis system, not only enriches the glycosyltransferase resource
library, but also reduces the dependence of phloridzin
biosynthesis on traditional enzyme elements, and lays a key foundation for constructing an efficient and stable phloridzin biosynthesis pathway.
