Abstract

Abstract: Carotenoids are a group of natural pigments widely found in plants, which are generally composed of C₄₀ terpenoids and their derivatives, which are connected from end to end of 8 isoprene units. In plants, carotenoids not only make plant organs appear color, but also perform important biological functions. In recent years, although the biosynthesis pathway of carotenoids is relatively clear, the mechanisms of metabolic regulation, including storage and transport of carotenoids in vivo are not yet understood. This paper briefly summarized the research progress of the biosynthesis, storage localization of carotenoids and terpenoid transporters, and focused on the potential substances that mediate carotenoid transport and the methods of identifying carotenoid transporters, in order to provide a better understanding of carotenoid synthesis and transportation.

Key words: carotenoids, metabolic regulation, transporter

摘要： 类胡萝卜素是植物体内广泛存在的一类天然色素，一般由8个异戊二烯单元首尾相连而成的C₄₀萜类化合物及其衍生物组成。在植物中，类胡萝卜素除了赋予植物器官呈色以外，在体内还执行着多项重要的生物学功能。近年来，虽然类胡萝卜素生物合成途径较为清晰，但是类胡萝卜素的代谢调控以及在体内的储存和转运机制还不明确。本文简要概述了类胡萝卜素的生物合成、代谢调控、储存定位和萜类物质转运蛋白等方面的研究进展，总结了介导类胡萝卜素转运的分子及鉴定转运体的方法，以期为研究类胡萝卜素的合成和转运提供参考。
