One-Pot Hetero-Di-C-Glycosylation of the Natural Polyphenol Phloretin by a Single C-Glycosyltransferase With Broad Sugar Substrate Specificity. [PDF]

Biotechnol Bioeng
Here, an efficient system for synthesizing high‐value polyphenol hetero‐di‐C‐glycosides with two distinct C‐glycosyl residues was established using a two‐step glycosylation catalyzed by C‐glycosyltransferase in one pot. The desired C‐β‐galactosyl‐C‐β‐glucosyl and C‐β‐glucosyl‐C‐β‐xylosyl phloretin were obtained at concentrations of 0.6 and 6 g/L ...

Measuring catalytic mechanism similarity - a new approach to study enzyme function and evolution. [PDF]

FEBS J
We introduce a previously undescribed computational method to measure the similarity of enzyme mechanisms, enabling comparison of catalytic steps across hundreds of enzymes. Applying this method to a database of enzyme mechanisms demonstrated its ability to automatically uncover functional and evolutionary relationships, independently of sequence and ...

The biosynthesis, degradation, and function of cell wall β‐xylosylated xyloglucan mirrors that of arabinoxyloglucan

New Phytologist, Volume 240, Issue 6, Page 2353-2371, December 2023., 2023
Summary Xyloglucan is an abundant polysaccharide in many primary cell walls and in the human diet. Decoration of its α‐xylosyl sidechains with further sugars is critical for plant growth, even though the sugars themselves vary considerably between species. Plants in the Ericales order – prevalent in human diets – exhibit β1,2‐linked xylosyl decorations.
