Detection of UDP–glucose:cyclo-DOPA 5-O-glucosyltransferase activity in four o'clocks (Mirabilis jalapa L.) [PDF]
, 2004 Although a pathway for betacyanin biosynthesis has been postulated, most of the catalytic steps have not yet been identified or demonstrated with biochemical evidence. In the postulated pathway, the glucose moiety of betanin is conjugated to the aglycone,

An RNA-Seq analysis of the peach transcriptome with a focus on genes associated with skin colour
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2019 Red pigmentation of the skin is an important consumer trait in peach (Prunus persica). The pigment consists largely of anthocyanin. Here, a transcriptomic contrast, based on RNA-Seq technology, was drawn between a white-skinned (Feitao) and a red-skinned

STRUCTURE OF THE ECDYSONE GLUCOSIDE FORMED BY A BACULOVIRUS ECDYSTEROID UDP-GLUCOSYLTRANSFERASE [PDF]
The egt gene of the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus encodes an ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase. The glucoside formed by this enzyme using ecdysone and UDP-glucose as substrates has been purified and structurally ...

Profiling Aglycon-Recognizing Sites of UDP-glucose:glycoprotein Glucosyltransferase by Means of Squarate-Mediated Labeling [PDF]
, 2015 Because of its ability to selectively glucosylate misfolded glycoproteins, UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) functions as a folding sensor in the glycoprotein quality control system in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The unique property

Metabolism of conjugated sterols in eggplant. Part 1. UDP-glucose : sterol glucosyltransferase [PDF]
, 2008 A membrane-bound UDP-glucose : sterol glucosyltransferase from Solanum melongena (eggplant) leaves was partially purified and its specificity as well as molecular and kinetic properties were defined. Among a wide spectrum of 3-OH steroids (i.e.
