Description

Transgenic breeding method for producing crocin in seed endosperm
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of genetic engineering. In particular to a transgenic breeding method for producing crocin in seed endosperm.
Background
Crocin (Crocins) is also called crocin, is a main medicinal active ingredient of rare traditional Chinese medicinal materials crocin and gardenia, belongs to apocarotenoid glycoside compounds, and comprises 5 different glycosylation forms (crocin-I, crocin-II, crocin-III, crocin-IV and crocin-V). Researches show that crocin has better curative effects on various central nervous system and cardiovascular system diseases, and also has the effects of resisting cancer, resisting inflammation, resisting oxidization, protecting liver, benefiting gallbladder, resisting diabetes and the like. Besides medicinal value, crocin has long been used as perfume, dye and food additive, and has wide application value.
In nature, crocin is mainly extracted from stigma croci, while triploid stigma croci has low reproduction rate, and is known as red gold because of complex stigma picking process, low yield (1 g of dry stigma croci is composed of about 150 stigma croci) and high labor cost. In addition, crocin has a complex structure and rich chiral centers, and is difficult to chemically synthesize. Therefore, there is a need to provide a relatively simple and efficient method for producing crocin.
The use of biosynthesis is a novel production route. The applicant team has previously developed a technology for synthesizing specific functional substances based on rice (Oryza sativa l.) seed endosperm as a bioreactor. For example, chinese patent publication No. CN105907780A discloses a transgenic breeding method for producing astaxanthin in rice seed endosperm, and the astaxanthin synthesis related gene is expressed in rice seed endosperm to construct transgenic rice for synthesizing astaxanthin, and the technology has the advantages of high yield, low cost, high safety and the like. However, the synthesis of crocin in rice endosperm has not been reported.
Since most enzymes are low or even non-expressed in rice endosperm, crocin synthesis involves multiple genes. Therefore, how to synthesize crocin from the head in endosperm by genetic engineering and synthetic biology methods is a very valuable scientific problem to be studied. The synthesis of crocin, however, involves multiple genes, which makes the objective of producing crocin in plants or microorganisms by genetic engineering methods difficult to achieve. In addition, there is a great uncertainty whether the genetic background of rice seeds is suitable for inserting and expressing crocin synthetic genes and whether crocin can be successfully expressed and produced.

Appearance observation of transgenic Rice seeds phenotypic observations were performed on pYL MF-DOBhPC-CsCAU 1U2 and pYL MF-DOBhPC-GjCAU 1U2 transgenic Rice brown rice, and the results are shown in FIG. 4. As can be seen from FIG. 4, pYL MF-DOBhPC, which had been introduced into the synthetic zeaxanthin precursor, and pYL MF-DOBhPC-CsCAU 1U2, which had been introduced into the saffron pathway, exhibited yellow, while pYL MF-DOBhPC-GjCAU 1U2, which had been introduced into the gardenia pathway, exhibited orange-yellow.
The extraction and UPLC-MS/MS identification of the crocin of the transgenic rice seeds comprise the steps of freeze-drying rice seeds for 2days, weighing 0.3g, grinding into powder by a freeze grinder, adding 250 mu L of methanol, swirling for 1min, adding 500 mu L of chloroform, swirling for 1min on light-shielding ice for 20min, adding 250 mu L of water, swirling for 1min, centrifuging at 4 ℃ for 5min, respectively collecting aqueous phase and organic phase, and observing the color of an extract, wherein the result is shown in figure 4. As can be seen from FIG. 4, although pYL MF-DOBhPC seeds exhibited yellow color, the aqueous phase was colorless and transparent, while the aqueous phases of pYL MF-DOBhPC-CsCAU 1U2 and pYL MF-DOBhPC-GjCAU 1U2 were visibly yellow, indicating that pYL MF-DOBhPC-CsCAU 1U2 and pYL MF-DOBhPC-GjCAU 1U2 had polar material formation, and the organic phases of pYL MF-DOBhPC-CsCAU 1U2 and pYL MF-DOBhPC-GjCAU 1U2 were orange-red relative to the organic phase of DOBhPC yellow color, indicating additional liposoluble pigment formation.

The crocin content of pYLTAC MF-DOBhPC-CsCAU 1U2 and pYLTAC MF-DOBhPC-GjCAU 1U2 transformed rice seed endosperm was also examined. Wherein the crocin content in the pYL MF-DOBhPC-CsCAU 1U2 transformed rice endosperm is 587.82ng/g, and the crocin content in the pYL MF-DOBhPC-GjCAU 1U2 transformed rice endosperm is 855.4ng/g.
The invention also provides a schematic diagram of the way of synthesizing crocin in endosperm of transgenic rice seeds, as shown in figure 7. The biosynthesis of crocin requires a high degree of coordination of a variety of pathways, including the upstream methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, the midstream carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, and the downstream crocin biosynthesis pathway. Wherein the MEP pathway provides a precursor geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) of the core carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, and the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway provides an important precursor zeaxanthin (Zeaxanthin) for the crocin biosynthesis pathway, which is oxidized and cleaved into crocin dialdehyde (crocetin dialdehyde) by a Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase (CCD), dehydrogenated into crocin (Crocetin) by an aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and finally catalyzed by UDP-glucosyltransferase (UGT) to obtain crocin.
