UDP-Glycosyltransferases in Edible Fungi: Function, Structure, and Catalytic Mechanism

Fermentation, 2023
UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are the most studied glycosyltransferases, and belong to large GT1 family performing the key roles in antibiotic synthesis, the development of bacterial glycosyltransferase inhibitors, and in animal inflammation.

Functional Characterization of UDP-Glycosyltransferases Involved in Anti-viral Lignan Glycosides Biosynthesis in Isatis indigotica

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Isatis indigotica is a popular herbal medicine with its noticeable antiviral properties, which are primarily due to its lignan glycosides such as lariciresinol-4-O-β-D-glucoside and lariciresinol-4,4′-bis-O-β-D-glucosides (also called clemastanin B). UDP-

Family 1 glycosyltransferases (GT1, UGTs) are subject to dilution-induced inactivation and low chemo stability toward their own acceptor substrates

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Glycosylation reactions are essential but challenging from a conventional chemistry standpoint. Conversely, they are biotechnologically feasible as glycosyltransferases can transfer sugar to an acceptor with perfect regio- and stereo-selectivity ...

Cracking the “Sugar Code”: A Snapshot of N- and O-Glycosylation Pathways and Functions in Plants Cells

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Glycosylation is a fundamental co-translational and/or post-translational modification process where an attachment of sugars onto either proteins or lipids can alter their biological function, subcellular location and modulate the development and ...
