摘要： Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott is a traditional herbal medicine containing medicinal sterols and triterpenoids. Squalene synthase (SQS) is the first crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis pathway of sterols and triterpenoids. The full-length cDNA named DfSQS1 was isolated by RACE. It was predicted that DfSQS1 contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1239 bp coding 412 amino acid residues with molecular weight of 46.6 kDa. It had 18 potential phosphorylation sites, 1 potential N-glycosylation site and 2 transmembrane domains. In neighbor-joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree, DfSQS1 was away from branch of gymnosperms and angiosperms. One hydrophobic domain at the C-terminal of DfSQS1 was deleted to express soluble recombinant enzyme. The truncated DfSQS1 (tDfSQS1) was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Then, tDfSQS1 was obtained and incubated with famesyl diphosphate (FPP) to identify its enzymatic activity. The result demontrated that squalene, the product of enzyme catalyzed reaction, was detected by HPLC. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that the transcription level of DfSQS1 in D. fragrans was the highest in roots, followed by leaves and rhizomes. This work is the first report on cloning, characteration and expression of SQS from D. fragrans. It will be helpful to understand the regulatory role of SQS on the biosynthesis of triterpenoids in the fern.
