   黑果枸杞(Lycium ruthenicum. Murr)果实由于富含花青素和亚精胺衍生物等功能活性物质而作为功能食品。利用UPLC-MS分析了枸杞果实成熟的四个阶段的代谢物动态变化规律。该研究对包括花青素、生物碱和羟基香豆酸、类黄酮和氨基酸在内的49种化合物进行了分析鉴定。PCA分析将15种潜在的标记化合物将4个阶段的果实进行了分类。Pearson相关性分析,发现花青素与亚精胺衍生物己糖苷呈强正相关。进而,研究人员在体外鉴定了能同时催化花青素(petunidin)和亚精胺衍生物(dihydrocaffeoyl-caffeoyl spermidine)的糖基化反应的一个葡萄糖基转移酶(UGTHG27071);转录水平分析发现,HG27071在果实成熟的2-4阶段(S2-S4)中高表达,而在果实发育初期(S1)和叶片中均低表达,表明HG27071的表达与果实发育成熟相关。研究结果还揭示了枸杞果实中生物活性成分之间的代谢关联。本研究所鉴定的UGT还将促进其在功能性食品和天然色素资源中的潜在应用。

The Lycium ruthenicum Murr. fruit is a widely used nutritional food that contains various bioactive components such as anthocyanin and spermidine derivatives. In the present study, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry was utilized to profile the metabolic dynamics of four developmental stages of Lr fruit. A total of 49 compounds, including anthocyanin, alkaloids, hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, flavonoids, and amino acids, were tentatively identified. Principal component analysis distinguished the fruit at four developmental stages using 15 potential marker compounds. Pearson correlation analysis suggested that anthocyanin and spermidine derivative hexoses had a strong positive correlation coefficient. A glucosyltransferase (HG27071) was confirmed to glucosylate both anthocyanidin and spermidine derivative in vitro. Our results provide insight into the metabolic linkages among bioactive components in Lr fruits. The glucosyltransferase identified in this study will promote its potential use in functional foods and natural pigment resources.
