The UDP-Glucuronate Decarboxylase Gene Family in Populus: Structure, Expression, and Association Genetics [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In woody crop plants, the oligosaccharide components of the cell wall are essential for important traits such as bioenergy content, growth, and structural wood properties. UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase (UXS) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of UDP-xylose

UDP-glucuronate metabolism controls RIPK1-driven liver damage in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Nature Communications, 2023 Hepatocyte apoptosis plays an essential role in the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatocyte apoptosis remain unclear. Here, we identify UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (UGDH) as a suppressor

Honeybee-Gilliamella synergy in carbohydrate metabolism enhances host thermogenesis in cold acclimation [PDF]
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesHow gut symbionts contribute to host adaptation remains largely elusive. Studying co-diversified honeybees and gut bacteria across climates, we found cold-adapted species (Apis mellifera, A. cerana) exhibit enhanced genomic capacity for glucose, pyruvate,

LARGE1 processively polymerizes length-controlled matriglycan on prodystroglycan [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMatriglycan is a linear glycan (xylose-β1,3-glucuronate)n, which binds proteins in the extracellular matrix that contain laminin-globular domains and Lassa Fever Virus. It is indispensable for neuromuscular function.

Novel Insights into E. coli’s Hexuronate Metabolism: KduI Facilitates the Conversion of Galacturonate and Glucuronate under Osmotic Stress Conditions [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Using a gnotobiotic mouse model, we previously observed the upregulation of 2-deoxy-D-gluconate 3-dehydrogenase (KduD) in intestinal E. coli of mice fed a lactose-rich diet and the downregulation of this enzyme and of 5-keto 4-deoxyuronate isomerase ...

Comprehensive analysis of the UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase (UXS) gene family in tobacco and functional characterization of NtUXS16 in Golgi apparatus in Arabidopsis [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase (also named UXS) converts UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) to UDP-xylose (UDP-Xyl) by decarboxylation of the C6-carboxylic acid of glucuronic acid.
