Genome-Wide Identification and Comparative Analysis of the Teosinte Branched 1/Cycloidea/Proliferating Cell Factors 1/2 Transcription Factors Related to Anti-cancer Drug Camptothecin Biosynthesis in Ophiorrhiza pumila.

ABSTRACT: Ophiorrhiza pumila (O. pumila; Op) is a medicinal herbaceous plant, which can accumulate camptothecin (CPT). CPT and its derivatives are widely used as chemotherapeutic drugs for treating malignant tumors. Its biosynthesis pathway has been attracted significant attention. Teosinte branched 1/cycloidea/proliferating cell factors 1/2 (TCP) transcription factors (TFs) regulate a variety of physiological processes, while TCP TFs are involved in the regulation of CPT biosynthesis remain unclear. In this study, a systematic analysis of the TCP TFs family in O. pumila was performed. A total of 16 O. pumila TCP (OpTCP) genes were identified and categorized into two subgroups based on their phylogenetic relationships with those in Arabidopsis thaliana
