Efficient Production Of Orientin And Vitexin From Luteolin And Apigenin Using Coupled Catalysis Of Glycosyltransferase And Sucrose Synthase
JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY(2021)
Abstract
Orientin and vitexin are flavone 8-C-glycosides that exhibit many biological characteristics. This study aimed to establish a two-enzyme-coupled catalytic strategy to enhance the biosynthesis of orientin and vitexin from apigenin and luteolin, respectively. The C-glucosyltransferase (TcCGT1) gene from Trollius chinensis was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The optimal activity of TcCGT1 was achieved at pH 9.0 and 37 degrees C. TcCGT1 was relatively stable over the pH range of 7.0-10.0 at a temperature lower than 45 degrees C. The coupled catalytic strategy of TcCGT1 and different sucrose synthases was adopted to enhance the production of orientin and vitexin. By optimizing the coupling reaction conditions, orientin and vitexin production successfully achieved 2324.4 and 5524.1 mg/L with a yield of 91.4 and 89.3% (mol/mol), respectively. The coupled catalytic strategy proposed in this study might serve as a promising candidate for the large-scale production of orientin and vitexin in the future.
