Identification and functional analysis of 2‐hydroxyflavanone C‐glucosyltransferase in soybean (Glycine max) [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2015
C‐Glucosyltransferase is an enzyme that mediates carbon–carbon bond formation to generate C‐glucoside metabolites. Although it has been identified in several plant species, the catalytic amino acid residues required for C‐glucosylation activity remain ...

Inhibition of Glucosyltransferase Activity and Glucan Production as an Antibiofilm Mechanism of Lemongrass Essential Oil against Escherichia coli O157:H7

Antibiotics, 2020
The resistance of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to disinfection is associated with its ability to form biofilms, mainly constituted by glucans produced by glucosyltransferases.

Structural basis of Notch O-glucosylation and O–xylosylation by mammalian protein–O-glucosyltransferase 1 (POGLUT1)

Nature Communications, 2017
Protein O-glucosyltransferase 1/Rumi-mediated glucosylation of Notch epidermal growth factor-like (EGF-like) domains plays an important role in Notch signaling.

The Binary Toxin CDT of Clostridium difficile as a Tool for Intracellular Delivery of Bacterial Glucosyltransferase Domains

Toxins, 2018
Binary toxins are produced by several pathogenic bacteria. Examples are the C2 toxin from Clostridium botulinum, the iota toxin from Clostridium perfringens, and the CDT from Clostridium difficile.

Safety evaluation of the food additive rebaudioside M produced via enzymatic conversion of purified steviol glycosides leaf extracts. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF Panel) provides a scientific opinion on the safety of a modified manufacturing process for the food additive enzymatically produced steviol glycosides (E 960c). The new process converts purified steviol glycosides extracted from Stevia rebaudiana leaves through enzymatic bioconversion ...

UDP-glucosyltransferase OsUGT75A promotes submergence tolerance during rice seed germination

Nature Communications, 2023
Elongated coleoptile contributes submergence tolerance during germination of direct seeded rice. Here, the authors show that natural variation of rice coleoptile length is determined by the glycosyltransferase encoding gene OsUGT75A by reducing free ABA ...

Two UGT84A Family Glycosyltransferases Regulate Phenol, Flavonoid, and Tannin Metabolism in Juglans regia (English Walnut)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
We showed previously that gallic acid is produced in walnut from 3-dehydroshikimate by a shikimate dehydrogenase (JrSkDH). This study focuses on the next step in the hydrolysable tannin pathway, the formation of 1-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose from the phenolic ...

A collagen glucosyltransferase drives lung adenocarcinoma progression in mice

Communications Biology, 2021
Cancer cells are a major source of enzymes that modify collagen to create a stiff, fibrotic tumor stroma. High collagen lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2) expression promotes metastasis and is correlated with shorter survival in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and ...

Molecule Targeting Glucosyltransferase Inhibits Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Formation and Virulence

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2015
Dental plaque biofilms are responsible for numerous chronic oral infections and cause a severe health burden. Many of these infections cannot be eliminated, as the bacteria in the biofilms are resistant to the host's immune defenses and antibiotics ...

Raffinose Inhibits Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Formation by Targeting Glucosyltransferase

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Streptococcus mutans is a representative biofilm-forming bacterium that causes dental caries through glucosyltransferase (GTF) activity. Glucans are synthesized from sucrose by GTFs and provide binding sites for S.
