ABSTRACT
italic>Crataegus pinnatifida is a traditional Chinese medicine, which contains organic acids, triterpenoid acids and other active components, has important medicinal and edible value. In order to study the difference of gene expression level in different developmental stages of hawthorn and explore the genes of active ingredient biosynthesis in Crataegus pinnatifida, high-throughput Illumina HiSeq 2000 technology were used to conduct transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis on Crataegus pinnatifida fruits from the same origin at different developmental stages. 78 496 Unigenes with an average length of 941 nt were obtained by Trinity software. Among them, 58 395 Unigenes can be annotated by NR, NT, Swiss prot, KEGG, COG, GO and other public databases. KEGG pathway analysis showed that 52 Unigenes encoding 15 key enzymes involved in the citric acid cycle. There are 62 Unigenes were involved in the triterpene biosynthesis pathway of Crataegus pinnatifida. Two key enzymes SQE of triterpenoid metabolism pathway in Crataegus pinnatifida were cloned and performed bioinformatic analysis. The results showed that ORF of CpSQE1 and CpSQE2 were 1 594 bp and 1 597 bp, respectively, encoding 530 and 531 amino acids. The molecular weight of proteins was 57.6 kDa and 57.5 kDa. Bioinformatics analysis showed that both CpSQE1 and CpSQE2 proteins have a PLN02985 superfamily conserved domain, belonging to the squalene monooxygenase superfamily. The phylogenetic tree shows that CpSQE1 and CpSQE2 are clustered together with SQE with squalene epoxidase function in other plants. This study provides a research basis for further exploring the key genes in the biosynthesis process of hawthorn active ingredients and analyzing the regulation pathway of its active ingredient biosynthesis.
