Reactive Oxygen Species as Additional Determinants for Cytotoxicity of Clostridium difficile Toxins A and B

Toxins, 2016
Clostridium difficile infections can induce mild to severe diarrhoea and the often associated characteristic pseudomembranous colitis. Two protein toxins, the large glucosyltransferases TcdA and TcdB, are the main pathogenicity factors that can induce ...

DcH3.3 and DcNAC1 Regulate the Expression of UGT73A93 Involved in the Changes in Flower Colour and Fungal Resistance in Carnation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4863-4877, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) contains abundant flavonoid glycosides (FGs), which are important natural functional and colour components. However, there are few reports on the modification of UDP‐glycosyltransferases (UGTs) in relation to flavonoids in carnation.

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 ...

Biochemical and in silico characterization of glycosyltransferases from red sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) reveals their broad specificity toward phenolic substrates

Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences
Polyphenolic compounds are a class of phytonutrients that play important roles in plants and contribute to human health when incorporated into our diet through fruit consumption. A large proportion occur as glycoconjugates but the enzymes responsible for

Galectins induced from hemocytes bridge phosphatidylserine and N-glycosylated Drpr/CED-1 receptor during dendrite pruning

Nature Communications
During neuronal pruning, phagocytes engulf shed cellular debris to avoid inflammation and maintain tissue homeostasis. How phagocytic receptors recognize degenerating neurites had been unclear. Here, we identify two glucosyltransferases Alg8 and Alg10 of
