Organ-Specific Transcriptome Sequencing and Mining of Genes Involved in Polyphyllin Biosynthesis in Paris polyphylla

Industrial Crops and Products, 2020
Abstract Paris polyphylla Smith is a perennial medicinal plant that is wildly distributed in China, and polyphyllin is the representative medicinal ingredient from the rhizome of this plant. To date, the mechanism of steroidal saponin biosynthesis in P. polyphylla is still unclear.

An Improved Synthesis of the Saponin, Polyphyllin D

open access: yesCarbohydrate Research, 2001
Polyphyllin D, namely diosgenyl alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1->2)-[(alpha -L-arabinofuranosyl)-(1->4)]-beta -D-glucopyranoside, was synthesized from diosgenyl-beta -D-glucopyranoside in four steps and in 30% overall yield, taking advantage of ...

Synthesis of Three Diosgenyl Saponins: Dioscin, Polyphyllin D, and Balanitin 7

open access: yesCarbohydrate Research, 1999
Dioscin, polyphyllin D, and balanitin 7, which belong to a group of structurally similar diosgenyl saponins with promising bioactivities, were synthesized by stepwise glycosylation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Two rhamnosyltransferases for de novo biosynthesis of polyphyllins in Nicotiana benthamiana

The Plant Journal
SUMMARYPolyphyllins, a prominent class of steroidal saponins in Paris species, owe their diverse bioactivities to their sugar unit configurations, though their glycosylation pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we identified and characterized two UDP‐rhamnosyltransferases, PpUGT73YD1 and PpUGT738A2, using heterologous expression systems.

De Novo Biosynthesis of Polyphyllin V in Nicotiana benthamiana through Pathway Reconstruction and UDP-Sugar Engineering

ACS Synthetic Biology
Polyphyllin V (PPV) is a pharmaceutically valuable steroidal saponin with extremely low natural abundance, severely limiting its research and application. Here we established an efficient plant-based production platform for PPV in Nicotiana benthamiana through systematic optimization of glycosyltransferases and UDP-sugar metabolism.

Identification and Engineering of UDP-rhamnosyltransferase from Trillium tschonoskii for Heterologous Biosynthesis of Polyphyllin II in Engineered Yeast

Abstract Polyphyllins, a class of isospirostan-type steroidal saponins, exhibit potent cytotoxicity against a variety range of cancer cells. Although extensive research efforts have been made, the complete biosynthetic pathway of these compounds remains unclear.
