Tandem Duplication‐Driven Neofunctionalization of UDP‐Glycosyltransferases Shapes the Diversification of Triterpenoid Saponins in the Cucurbitaceae

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.

Exogenously added naphthols induce three glucosyltransferases, and are accumulated as glucosides in tobacco cells [PDF]

, 2015
Plants detoxify and accumulate several compounds as glucosides. In this work, detoxification of the exogenously added harmful compound naphthol in tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum L. Bright Yellow) was studied.

Synthesis of 3,5,3′, 4′-Tetrahydroxy--stilbene4′-O-β-D-glucopyranoside by Glucosyltransferases from

Natural Product Communications, 2013
Two glucosyltransferase isozymes from Phytolacca americana, PaGT3 and PaGT2 , catalyzed stereo- and regio-selective monoglucosylation of 3,5,3′,4′- tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene to yield 3,5,3′,4′-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene-4′-O-β-D-glucopyranoside.

Loss of POGLUT2/3‐mediated O‐glucosylation produces lung and aortic phenotypes reminiscent of fibrillin1 mutants

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

A circularly permuted α-amylase-type α/β-barrel structure in glucan-synthesizing glucosyltransferases

, 1996
A motif of amino acid residues, located at the active site and specific β-strands in a-amylases, is recognized in α-1,3- and α-1,6-glucan-synthesizing glucosyltransferases, leading to the conclusion that these enzymes contain an α/β-barrel closely ...

Apple scar skin viroid causes dapple and scar skin apple diseases by disrupting phenylpropanoid‐mediated metabolic pathways

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Dapple apple and scar skin apple diseases are closely associated with suppression of anthocyanin biosynthesis and enhancement of suberin biosynthesis. Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) infection represses anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple callus. Abstract Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) causes dapple and scar skin apple diseases, posing serious threats to ...

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all
