UDP-glucosyltransferase OsUGT75A promotes submergence tolerance during rice seed germination [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Submergence stress represents a major obstacle limiting the application of direct seeding in rice cultivation. Under flooding conditions, coleoptile elongation can function as an escape strategy that contributes to submergence tolerance during seed ...

UDP-glucosyltransferase regulates grain size and abiotic stress tolerance associated with metabolic flux redirection in rice [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Increasing grain yield needs to be put in the context of environmental stress. Here, the authors reveal that a UDP-glucosyltransferase is associated with regulation of rice grain size, abiotic stress tolerance, flavonoid-mediated auxin signaling, and ...

Identification of a UDP-glucuronosyl/UDP-glucosyltransferase involved in rice seedling height regulation [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologySeedling height is an important agronomic trait for early vigor and crop establishment in rice. It is controlled by multiple genes, as shown by the continuous variation and normal distribution observed in the Cheongcheong × Nagdong double haploid ...

Inhibition of Clostridium difficile TcdA and TcdB toxins with transition state analogues
Nature Communications, 2021 The Clostridium difficile virulence factors TcdA and TcdB contain a glucosyltransferase domain (GTD), which has both glucohydrolase (GH) and glucosyltransferase (GT) activities. Here, the authors characterize the transition state features of the TcdA and

Role of UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase in venous malformation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Venous malformation (VM) results from the abnormal growth of the vasculature; however, the detailed molecular mechanism remains unclear. As a glycosyltransferase, UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) is localized to the Golgi body and is a key
