摘要: 为进一步理解细风轮花青素合成途径,本研究利用华大基因BGISEQ-500平台对细风轮中的根、茎、叶、花4个组织进行了转录组测序,从头组装后得到128 856个Unigene。KEGG通路表明有40个Unigene编码了细风轮的花青素生物合成途径中6个关键酶。我们对其中的关键酶DFR(二氢黄酮醇还原酶)进行同源比对和空间结构模拟,结果显示DFR序列和结构均具有良好的保守性,且具有高度保守的NAD+结合位点,其二级结构主要由α螺旋和β折叠组成,在空间上α螺旋包裹着β折叠,形成"夹心饼干"样结构。Abstract: In order to further understand the pathway of anthocyanin synthesis,the four tissues of C.gracile,namely,root,stem,leaf and flower,were sequenced using BGISEQ-500 platform.128 856 unigenes were assembled and 40 unigenes encoding six key enzymes involved in the anthocyanin biosynthesis were identified.Homologous alignment and structure simulation of bifunctional dihydroflavonol 4-reductase(DFRs) were carried out,which showed that they have well-conserved sequences,spatial structures and NAD+binding sites.The DFR structure model showed a tetrameric structure with Rossmann-like α-helixes/β-sheets/α-helixes sandwich fold.
