Hydrolysable tannins (HTs) are useful secondary metabolites that are responsible for pharmacological activities and astringent taste, flavor, and quality in fruits. They are also the main polyphenols in L. (Chinese olive) fruit, an interesting and functional fruit that has been cultivated for over 2000 years. The HT content of fruit was 2.3-13 times higher than that of berries with a higher content of HT. 1-galloyl--d-glucose (G) is the first intermediate and the key metabolite in the HT biosynthesis pathway. It is catalyzed by UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs), which are responsible for the glycosylation of gallic acid (GA) to form G. Here, we first reported 140 UGTs in . Phylogenetic analysis clustered them into 14 phylogenetic groups (A, B, D-M, P, and Q), which are different from the 14 typical major groups (A~N) of . Expression pattern and correlation analysis showed that () was highly expressed and had a positive correlation with GA and G content. Prokaryotic expression showed that could catalyze GA to form G. These results provide a theoretical basis on in , which will be helpful for further functional research and availability on HTs and polyphenols.
可水解单宁(HTs)是有用的次生代谢物,负责水果的药理活性、涩味、风味和品质。它们也是橄榄(Chinese olive)果实中主要的多酚类物质,橄榄是一种有趣且具有功能性的水果,已经被栽培了 2000 多年。果实中的 HT 含量比浆果高 2.3-13 倍,浆果中 HT 含量较高。1-没食子酰基-β-D-葡萄糖(G)是 HT 生物合成途径中的第一个中间产物和关键代谢物。它是由 UDP-葡萄糖基转移酶(UGTs)催化的,UGTs 负责将没食子酸(GA)糖基化形成 G。在这里,我们首次在 中报道了 140 个 UGTs。系统发育分析将它们聚类为 14 个系统发育群(A、B、D-M、P 和 Q),与 14 个典型的主要群(A~N)不同。表达模式和相关性分析表明, ()高度表达,并与 GA 和 G 含量呈正相关。原核表达表明 可以催化 GA 形成 G。这些结果为 提供了理论基础,这将有助于进一步研究 HTs 和多酚的功能和可用性。
