Predicting the substrate specificity of a glycosyltransferase implicated in the production of phenolic volatiles in tomato fruit [PDF]

, 2010
The volatile compounds that constitute the fruit aroma of ripe tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) are often sequestered in glycosylated form. A homology-based screen was used to identify the gene SlUGT5, which is a member of UDP-glycosyltransferase 72 family ...

TAPBPR bridges UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 onto MHC class I to provide quality control in the antigen presentation pathway

eLife, 2017
Recently, we revealed that TAPBPR is a peptide exchange catalyst that is important for optimal peptide selection by MHC class I molecules. Here, we asked whether any other co-factors associate with TAPBPR, which would explain its effect on peptide ...

UDP-glucose:anthocyanidin 3-O-glucoside-2”-O-glucosyltransferase catalyzes further glycosylation of anthocyanins in purple Ipomoea batatas

bioRxiv, 2018
Glycosylation contributes to the diversity and stability of anthocyanins in plants. The process is catalyzed by various glucosyltransferases using different anthocyanidin aglycones and glycosyl donors.
