Cordycepin was the first adenosine analogue used as an anticancer and antiviral agent,which is extracted from Cordyceps militaris and hasn\'t been biosynthesized until now.This study was first conducted to verify the role of ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs,the two RNR subunits,RNRL and RNRM) in the biosynthesis of cordycepin by over expressing RNRs genes in transformed C.militaris.Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting results showed that the mRNA and protein levels of RNR subunit genes were significantly upregulated in transformant C.militaris strains compared to the control strain.The results of the HPLC assay indicated that the cordycepin was significantly higher in the C.militaris transformants carrying RNRM than in the wildtype strain,whereas the RNRML was preferentially downregulated.For the C.militaris transformant carrying RNRL,the content of cordycepin wasn\'t remarkably changed.Furthermore,we revealed that inhibiting RNRs with Triapine (3-AP) almost abrogated the upregulation of cordycepin.Therefore,our results suggested that RNRM can probably directly participate in cordycepin biosynthesis by hydrolyzing adenosine,which is useful for improving cordycepin synthesis and helps to satisfy the commercial demand of cordycepin in the field of medicine.
