| Project Title: | Characterization of CsUGT73AC15 as a Multifunctional Glycosyltransferase Impacting Flavonol Triglycoside Biosynthesis in Tea Plants |
| Project Summary: | Flavonol glycosides, essential for the health benefits and astringent flavors of tea (Camellia sinensis), are abundant in tea leaves as diglycosides and triglycosides. However, the UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) responsible for flavonol multi-glycosylation have remained elusive. In this study, integrated proteomic and metabolomic analyses were performed to identify potential UGTs involved in flavonol triglycoside biosynthesis. Among the tested recombinant enzymes, rCsUGT75AJ1 exhibited flavonoid 4สน-O-glucosyltransferase activity, while rCsUGT75L72 catalyzed glucosylation of flavonoids preferentially at the 3-OH position. Remarkably, rCsUGT73AC15 demonstrated substrate promiscuity and regioselectivity, enabling glucosylation of rutin at multiple positions as well as kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside at the 7-OH position. Expression analysis revealed an inverse correlation between the level of CsUGT73AC15 and rutin abundance across different cultivars, suggesting its involvement in flavonol triglycoside biosynthesis in planta. These findings advance the understanding of flavonol triglycoside biosynthesis in tea plants and provide a foundation for further in-vivo characterization of gene functions. |
