Profiling Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Tea

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The following 10 cultivars of C. sinensis var. sinensis maintained in the Guo-He Tea Germplasm Collection of this university (Hefei, China) were used in this study: “Shucha Zao” (“SCZ”), “Echa NO.1” (“EC1”), “Echa NO.5” (“EC5”), “Fuding Dabai” (“FDDB”), “Mingshan Baihao” (“MSBH”), “Mingxuan 213” (“MX213”), “Wancha 91” (“WC91”), “Zhongcha 108” (“ZC108”), “Zhongcha 102” (“ZC102”), and “Zhenong 117” (“ZN117”). Tea plant samples were all excised from tea cultivars, immediately deep frozen in dry ice and then brought to the lab for storage at −80°C for further use. For transgenic studies, plants of Nicotiana tabacum cv. “Yunyan 85” and Nicotiana benthamiana were grown in pots containing a peat and vermiculite mixture (1:3, v/v) and kept in a growth chamber with a 16 h photoperiod of 150 μM m−2 s−1, at temperatures of 22°C/25°C (night/day) and 60% relative humidity. Plants were regularly fertilized and watered.
For chemical analysis, geranyl β-primeveroside and linalyl β-primeveroside were synthesized by Na-Fu Biotech (Shanghai, China)1 and further verified with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (Supplementary Table S1). Geranyl β-D-glucopyranoside was synthesized by Prof Zhengzhu Zhang’s group at Anhui Agricultural University. Geraniol, citral, linalool, geranyl diphosphate, and geranyl monophosphate were purchased from Sigma (Shanghai, China).

Characterization of Prenyltransferase Enzymes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the characterization of the prenyltransferases 200 µl enzymatic assays were carried out in glass vials. The reaction mixture contained 10 mM MOPS buffer (pH 7.0), 5 mM MgCl 2 , 1 mM DTT, 1 mg/ml BSA, 100 µΜ prenyl diphosphate substrate. The substrates used were: dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (D4287, Sigma-Aldrich), isopentenyl diphosphate (I0503, Sigma-Aldrich), geranyl diphosphate (G6772, Sigma-Aldrich), farnesyl diphosphate (F6892, Sigma-Aldrich), geranylgeranyl diphosphate (G6025, Sigma-Aldrich). The reactions were initiated by addition of 50 ng of purified enzyme. After 16 h incubation at 25 °C, the reactions were terminated by addition of equal volume of 2N HCl in 83% EtOH and after 20 min incubation they were neutralized with 0.14 mL of 10% NaOH.
The hydrolyzed diphosphates were extracted three times using 300 µl of hexane. The hexane extracts were concentrated to a final volume of 50 µl and 1 µl of each reaction was used for GC-MS analysis (Methods S1). Individual compounds were identified by comparing their GC retention indices and mass spectra with those of authentic standards.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
