Two glucosyltransferases are involved in detoxification of benzoxazinoids in maize

, 2001
Benzoxazinoids are major compounds involved in chemical defence in grasses. These toxins are stored in the vacuole as glucosides. Two glucosyltransferases, BX8 and BX9, that catalyse this last step of benzoxazinoid biosynthesis have been isolated via ...

Functional analysis of UDP-sugar : sterol glucosyltransferases [PDF]

, 2011
Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are essential for the biosynthesis and diversification of many therapeutically important natural products. Of these, UDP-sugar: sterol glucosyltransferases (UGTs) (2.4.1.173) catalyse the synthesis of therapeutically important ...

Two tobacco genes induced by infection, elicitor and salicylic acid encode glucosyltransferases acting on phenylpropanoids and benzoic acid derivatives, including salicylic acid [PDF]

, 1998
Two tobacco genes (TOGT) with homology to glucosyltransferase genes known to be induced by salicylic acid (SA) also responded rapidly to a fungal elicitor or to an avirulent pathogen.

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

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
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 ...

Glucosyltransferase activity-based screening identifies tannic acid as an inhibitor of Streptococcus mutans biofilm

Frontiers in Microbiology
Dental caries is a biofilm-related chronic infectious disease. Streptococcus mutans is the core microorganism that leads to caries, with its capacity to form biofilms via glucosyltransferases (Gtfs) being the predominant virulence factor contributing to ...

Nasal immunization with Streptococcus mutans membrane vesicles and eggshell-derived hydroxyapatites elicits enhanced antigen-specific mucosal IgA responses

Scientific Reports
Nasal vaccines characterized by secretory IgA (SIgA) induction are effective in preventing mucosal infection. SIgA induction is potentiated by mucosal adjuvants, and the exploration of new safe and effective candidates is important.
