Characterization of UDP-glucosyltransferase from Indigofera tinctoria

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Indican is a secondary metabolite in Indigofera tinctoria; its synthesis from indoxyl and UDP-glucose is catalyzed by a UDP-glucosyltransferase (UGT). In this study, we partially purified UGT extracted from I. tinctoria leaves and analyzed the protein by peptide mass fingerprinting.

UDP-glucosyltransferase activity toward exogenous substrates in Drosophila melanogaster

Analytical Biochemistry, 1991
To investigate the capacity of Drosophila extracts to glucosylate exogenous substrates we have developed a fast and sensitive method for the detection of UDP-glucosyltransferase activity using 4-nitrophenol, 1-naphthol, or 2-naphthol as substrates.

Delay expression of limonoid UDP-glucosyltransferase makes delayed bitterness in citrus

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2008
Genes encoding limonoid UDP-glucosyltransferase from albedo of six Citrus species with different levels of delayed bitterness are isolated and cloned in vector pTZ57R/T. Our results indicate that gene sequence of sweet lime (with intense juice delayed bitterness) have complete identity with Satsuma mandarin (without distinctive juice delayed bitterness)

Baculovirus-encoded ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferases

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1995
Abstract This review summarizes recent data on the regulation of host development by insect baculoviruses through the action of the viral egt gene. This gene was first identified in the genome of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) and encodes the enzyme ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyl-transferase (EGT), which catalyses the ...

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.

Characterization of the Ecdysteroid UDP-Glucosyltransferase (egt) Gene of Anticarsia gemmatalis Nucleopolyhedrovirus

Virus Genes, 2001
The Anticarsia gemmatalis nucelopolyhedrovirus (AgMNPV) egt gene was cloned, sequenced and its expression characterized by RT-PCR and western blot analysis. Sequence analysis of the gene indicated the presence of an open reading frame (ORF) of 1482 nucleotides, which codes for a polypeptide of 494 amino acids.

Sucrose-udp glucosyltransferase of Zea mays endosperm

Phytochemistry, 1974
Abstract The synthetic and degradative activities toward sucrose of maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm sucrose-UDP glucosyltransferase preparations behave differently in several respects. Mg 2+ or Ca 2+ stimulate the synthetic activity but inhibit the degradative activity.

Analysis of the Ecdysteroid UDP-Glucosyltransferase Gene of Heliothis armigera Single-Nucleocapsid Baculovirus

Virus Genes, 1997
An ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (egt) gene was identified from the single (S) nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus of Heliothis armigera (HearNPV). In baculovirus-infected insects the viral enzyme (EGT) plays a pivotal role in abrogating the insect molting process. The open reading frame of the egt gene is 1545 nucleotides long, encoding a putative

Overexpression of UDP-glucosyltransferase 71C5 increases glucose tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Russian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2010
Glucosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze transfer of sugar moieties to a wide range of acceptor molecules, which could be proteins, lipids, or low-molecular-weight lipophilic acceptors. As a subfamily of GTs, uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucosyltransferases (UGTs), which function is glycosylation of low-molecularweight lipophilic acceptors, has drawn ...

Identification and in vivo Characterization of the Epiphyas postvittana Nucleopolyhedrovirus Ecdysteroid UDP-Glucosyltransferase

Virus Genes, 2001
The genome of Epiphyas postvittana Nucleopolyhedrovirus (EppoMNPV) contains an ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (egt) gene. The egt gene was completely sequenced and surrounding open reading frames identified. EppoMNPV egt is 1479 nucleotides in length encoding a protein with a predicted molecular mass of 55 kDa.
