Description

In guar-bean, modify polygalactomannan in the body by expressing UDP-galactose epimerase sense-rna
The present invention relates to a kind of modifying method.
Specifically, the present invention relates to modifying method in a kind of body.
Polygalactomannan is one group of inhomogenous cell wall polysaccharides, is made up of the mannosans main chain that the β-1-4 key with galactose side that different number α-1,6 keys connect connects.
Polygalactomannan with most important industrial use derives from the endosperm of leguminous plants guar-bean (Caymopsis tetragonolobus) and angle beans (Ceratonia siliqua).The galactose content difference of these polygalactomannan, the semi-lactosi of guar-bean is about 1: 1.6 with the ratio of seminose, and this ratio of carob bean gum (LBG) is about 1: 3.4.
The difference of galactose content has remarkable influence to the functional performance of guar gum and LBG.Two kinds of polygalactomannan (1-2%) under lower concentration all form very heavy-gravity solution, but LBG has another characteristic, promptly can form firm gel with other polysaccharide such as xanthan gum, carrageenan and agarose.The extensively real LBG that uses of foodstuffs industry is used for milk-product (particularly ice-creams), salad seasonings, sauce, goods low in calories and pet food.Yet the use of LBG is subjected to high price and the irregularly restriction of supply.
Therefore, wish to produce on a large scale polygalactomannan, with LBG such as improving functional performance owing to improving the ratio (such as similar) of seminose with semi-lactosi with improvement functional performance.
Owing to have chemical similarity between guar gum and the LBG on kind, and the price of guar gum is much lower, therefore, outer guar gum is converted into of tentative aspect has the polygalactomannan that LBG sample characteristic and chemical constitution are similar to LBG.
An example of this extracorporeal treatment comprises the use alpha-galactosidase.Aspect this, referring to McCleary etc. 1983 and EP-A-0255153.
By using the alpha-galactosidase from the guar seed purifying, having obtained galactose content is the guar gum (Bulpin etc. 1990) of 10-34%.The analysis revealed of the guar gum gelling behavior of modifying, galactose content are 24% preparation and carrageenan formation mixed gel, show the similar rheological properties with LBG.By contrast, the galactose content 38% of untreated guar gum, and the galactose content of LBG is 23%.
Yet from the viewpoint of industry, the external galactosyl that takes off of guar gum relates to many problems.
The first, must prepare a large amount of alpha-galactosidases, because about 40% semi-lactosi in the necessary removal guar gum.
The second, between incubation period, it is highly important that the hydrolysis that the mannosans main chain does not take place, this must use the alpha galactosides zymin of highly purified no any mannosans enzymic activity vestige.Method (Overbeeke etc. 1986) from guar seed heterologous production alpha-galactosidase is disclosed.Yet, before the effect of research to guar gum, purifying the alpha-galactosidase of producing by the test species, prompting mannase problem remains unsolved.
The 3rd, the generation of polygalactomannan reduces, and is equivalent to few 15% guar gum of modifying because galactose content reduces by 40%.In end product, the semi-lactosi of release may be undesirable, may remove.
The 4th, and the alpha-galactosidase incubation period between, the risk of sizable polygalactomannan depolymerization is arranged.
In addition, there is contaminating microorganisms in reaction mixture, to settle down the risk that discharges the inscribe 'beta '-mannase.
At last, must be except that anhydrating from compound of reaction.Except that the cost that influences this method, this also causes can concentrating in order to the damping fluid that obtains optimum reaction conditions.
These example explanations, the method for modifying guar gum at present is relevant with various problems, and wherein some is relevant with sizable cost.
Therefore, need a kind of method of improved modification guar gum.
In this method, we propose, and modify the compound (such as guar gum) contain seminose/semi-lactosi, and wherein this is modified in the plant materials such as the guar-bean plant and takes place, and utilizes recombinant DNA technology.Particularly, we mentioned PCT/EP96/05581, and this patent is applied for (its content is attached to herein by reference) on December 2nd, 1996.

The ultimate principle that makes up the plant of genetic modification is to insert genetic information in described Plant Genome, to obtain the stable maintenance of the genetic material that inserted.
Have several technology to insert described genetic information, two kinds of cardinal principles are directly to introduce described genetic information and utilize carrier system to introduce described genetic information.Can in the paper of Potrykus (Annu RevPhysiol Plant Mol Biol[1991] 42:205-225) and Christou (Agro-Food-Industry Hi-Tech in March, 1994/April 17-27), find the summary of general technology.
Therefore, on the one hand, the present invention relates to a kind of carrier system, this carrier system carries according to nucleotide sequence of the present invention or constitutes thing, and can or constitute in the genome of thing introducing such as the biology of plant described nucleotide sequence.Described carrier system can comprise a kind of carrier, but it can comprise two kinds of carriers.Under the situation of two kinds of carriers, described carrier system is commonly referred to two carrier systems.At Gynheung An etc., (1980), Binary Vectors, PlantMolecular Biology Manual A3 has described two carrier systems in further detail among the 1-19.
One is widely used in given promotor or nucleotide sequence or the system that constitutes the thing transformed plant cells based on Ti-plasmids of agrobacterium tumefaciens (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) or the Ri plasmid of Agrobacterium rhizogenes (Agrobacterium rhizogenes).An etc. (1986), PlantPhysiol.81, (1980) such as 301-305 and Butcher D.N., Tissue Culture Methodsfor Plant Pathologists, editor: D.S.Ingrams and J.P.Helgeson, 203-208.
Several different being applicable to that has made up makes up the Ti-plasmids and the Ri plasmid of above-mentioned plant or vegetable cell formation thing.
