Identification of the Glucosyltransferase That Converts Hydroxymethyluracil to Base J in the Trypanosomatid Genome*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: Base J regulates Pol II transcription in trypanosomatids and is synthesized in two steps involving DNA hydroxylation and glucosylation. Results: JGT catalyzes the transfer of glucose from uridine diphosphoglucose to hmU in DNA.

Isolation of the ALG5 locus encoding the UDP-glucose:dolichyl-phosphate glucosyltransferase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

, 1994
UDP-glucose:dolichyl-phosphate glucosyltransferase is a transmembrane-bound enzyme of the endoplasmic reticulum involved in protein N-linked glycosylation. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to dolichyl phosphate.

Dual-Enzyme Biocatalytic Synthesis of Novel Rebaudioside M Analogs with Enhanced Aqueous Solubility, Physicochemical Stability, and Sensory Profiles

Foods
Rebaudioside M (RM), a steviol glycoside derived from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, has emerged as a promising next-generation zero-calorie sweetener. However, its low natural abundance and poor aqueous solubility limit its practical application in beverage

Differentially evolved glucosyltransferases determine natural variation of rice flavone accumulation and UV-tolerance

Nature Communications, 2017
In contrast to flavonols, the functions of plant flavones are largely unknown. Here, the authors report the two differentially evolved glucosyltranferases (flavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase and flavone 5-O-glucosyltransferase) determine natural variation ...

Tb927.10.6900 encodes the glucosyltransferase involved in synthesis of base J in Trypanosoma brucei

Molecular and biochemical parasitology (Print), 2014
Base J is a DNA modification found in the genome of Trypanosoma brucei and all other kinetoplastids analyzed, where it replaces a small fraction of Ts, mainly in telomeric and chromosome-internal transcription initiation and termination regions.
