Description

The albumen of alfalfa gama-tocopherol methyl transferase gene and coding and application
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of alfalfa gama-tocopherol methyl transferase genes involved, also relate to the albumen by this genes encoding, and the expression vector and the cell that contain described alfalfa gama-tocopherol methyl transferase gene, also relate to simultaneously a kind of method of cultivating alfalfa, and the application in the plant of cultivating high content of alpha-tocopherol content with the expression vector that contains this gene and cell of the albumen of alfalfa gama-tocopherol methyl transferase gene and coding thereof.
Background technology
Vitamin-E is an anthropoid necessary liposoluble vitamin, has important physiological function.It can remove the free radical that lipid peroxidation produces and the biomembranous lipid bilayer of stable protection makes cell avoid the injury of superoxide.Thereby be used as a kind of good antioxidant and be widely used in the industries such as medicine, food, feed.A large amount of experimentation on animalies show, add in feed vitamin-E have improve animal immunizing power, improve meat, improve animal reproductive performance, alleviate the unusual effect such as Animal stress reaction.
The production of vitamin-E mainly obtains by chemosynthesis and natural extract.The synthetic product of chemical process mainly exists with the form of acetic ester, and by product is many and biological activity is low.Natural VE mainly is present in plant, obviously is better than synthesising complex E in physiologically active and security.
Natural VE is comprised of 8 kinds of tocopherol isomers.Can be divided into tocopherol and the large class of tocotrienol two according to the side chain saturation ratio.Difference be divided into again α, β, γ, Delta-Tocopherol and α, β, γ, δ-tocotrienol according to methyl number on aromatic nucleus and position.Content and the relative reactivity of these 8 kinds of tocopherol isomers in plant all is not quite similar, the biological activity of alpha-tocopherol is the highest, and can be by human body and animal body preferential absorption and utilization, this is because the transfer protein that transports alpha-tocopherol in liver preferentially determines in conjunction with the characteristic of alpha-tocopherol.But the content of alpha-tocopherol in plant is relatively low, therefore, increases substantially high reactivity alpha-tocopherol content in plant (particularly forage grass), will have good Social benefit and economic benefit.
Research plant vitamin E route of synthesis is found, by transmethylation, Gamma-Tocopherol is converted into the gama-tocopherol methyl transferase of alpha-tocopherol, can improve content and the ratio of alpha-tocopherol in plant.Gama-tocopherol methyl transferase gene has been cloned from Arabidopis thaliana, blue-green algae etc. and has been obtained at present, but clone and separate that so far there are no from forage grass (particularly clover) is to gama-tocopherol methyl transferase gene, and it is transformed into the report that improves alpha-tocopherol content in forage grass.
Alfalfa is China and even most important leguminous forage in the world, is described as " King of Pasture ".If can clone the gama-tocopherol methyl transferase gene that obtains being derived from alfalfa, and it is forwarded in the forage grass that comprises alfalfa, can improve animal immunizing power, improve meat, the aspects such as reproductive performance that improve animal have great importance.
