Three Decades of Advances in Arabinogalactan-Protein Biosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are a large, complex, and highly diverse class of heavily glycosylated proteins that belong to the family of cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins.

Diverse biological effects of glycosyltransferase genes from Tartary buckwheat [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is an edible cereal crop whose sprouts have been marketed and commercialized for their higher levels of anti-oxidants, including rutin and anthocyanin. UDP-glucose flavonoid glycosyltransferases (UFGTs)

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.

Exploring the Phytochemical Landscape of the Early-Diverging Flowering Plant Amborella trichopoda Baill. [PDF]

, 2019
Although the evolutionary significance of the early-diverging flowering plant Amborella (Amborella trichopoda Baill.) is widely recognized, its metabolic landscape, particularly specialized metabolites, is currently underexplored.

How do nematodes transfer phosphorylcholine to carbohydrates? [PDF]

, 2010
An unusual aspect of the biology of nematodes is the attachment of phosphorylcholine (PC) to carbohydrate. The attachment appears to play an important role in nematode development and, in some parasitic species, in immunomodulation.

Predicting the substrate specificity of a glycosyltransferase implicated in the production of phenolic volatiles in tomato fruit [PDF]

, 2011
The volatile compounds that constitute the fruit aroma of ripe tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) are often sequestered in glycosylated form. A homology-based screen was used to identify the gene SlUGT5, which is a member of UDP-glycosyltransferase 72 family ...

Human Proteoglycan Linkage Region Glycosyltransferases are Dimeric and Show Unexpected Specificities. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Non‐canonical glycopeptides of the proteoglycan linkage region are accessible by the enzymes B3GalT6 and GlcAT‐1 confirming a recently discovered rescue mode in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) biosynthesis. The crystal structure of B3GalT6 revealed a covalent dimer linked by a disulfide. Abstract We selected the N,O‐glycosylated proteoglycan bikunin as a model
