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 ...

Biochemical Characterization of a Recombinant UDP-glucosyltransferase from Rice and Enzymatic Production of Deoxynivalenol-3-O-β-D-glucoside [PDF]

Toxins, 2015
Glycosylation is an important plant defense mechanism and conjugates of Fusarium mycotoxins often co-occur with their parent compounds in cereal-based food and feed.

Structural basis of collagen glucosyltransferase function and its serendipitous role in kojibiose synthesis [PDF]

Nature Communications
Collagen glucosyltransferases catalyze collagen glucosylation critical for biology and diseases, yet their structural regulation remains unclear. Here, we report crystal structures of a mimiviral collagen glucosyltransferase in its apo form and in ...

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 ...

The UDP-glucosyltransferase multigene family in Bombyx mori [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Glucosidation plays a major role in the inactivation and excretion of a great variety of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. A class of UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) is involved in this process.

Identification and Functional Characterisation of Two Oat UDP-Glucosyltransferases Involved in Deoxynivalenol Detoxification [PDF]

Toxins, 2022
Oat is susceptible to several Fusarium species that cause contamination with different trichothecene mycotoxins. The molecular mechanisms behind Fusarium resistance in oat have yet to be elucidated.

UDP-glucosyltransferase 71C4 controls the flux of phenylpropanoid metabolism to shape cotton seed development [PDF]

Plant Communications
Seeds play a crucial role in plant reproduction, making it essential to identify genes that affect seed development. In this study, we focused on UDP-glucosyltransferase 71C4 (UGT71C4) in cotton, a member of the glycosyltransferase family that shapes seed width and length, thereby influencing seed index and seed cotton yield.

A Ubiquitously Expressed UDP-Glucosyltransferase, UGT74J1, Controls Basal Salicylic Acid Levels in Rice [PDF]

Plants, 2021
Salicylic acid (SA) is a phytohormone that regulates a variety of physiological and developmental processes, including disease resistance. SA is a key signaling component in the immune response of many plant species.

Role of UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase in venous malformation [PDF]

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

Phenobarbital Induction of UDP-glucosyltransferase Activity in Drosophila melanogaster Meigen

Journal of Entomological Science, 2000
The inducibility of UDP-glucosyltransferase activities towards the exogenous substrates 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol and the endogenous metabolite xanthurenic acid was demonstrated in Drosophila melanogaster Meigen larvae and adults using phenobarbital as an inducer.
