摘要: Tocochromanol, or vitamin E, plays a crucial role in human and animal nutrition and is synthesized only by photosynthetic organisms. gamma-Tocopherol methyltransferase (gamma-TMT), one of the key enzymes in the tocopherol biosynthetic pathway in plants, converts gamma, delta-tocopherols into alpha-, beta-tocopherols. Tocopherol content was investigated in 15 soybean cultivars and GmTMT2 was isolated from five varieties based on tocopherol content. GmTMT2a was expressed in E. coli and the purified protein effectively converted gamma-tocopherol into alpha-tocopherol in vitro. Overexpression of GmTMT2a enhanced alpha-tocopherol content 4-6-fold in transgenic Arabidopsis, and alpha-tocopherol content increased 3-4.5-fold in transgenic maize seed, which correlated with the accumulation of GmTMT2a. Transgenic corn that is alpha-tocopherol-rich may be beneficial for animal health and growth.
