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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Characterization of the ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase gene of a single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus of Buzura suppressaria

Virus Research, 1997
A putative ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (egt) gene was identified in the single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus of Buzura suppressaria (BusuNPV). This is the first egt gene to be characterized in a SNPV, suggesting that egt genes are prevalent in nucleopolyhedroviruses and possibly in all baculoviruses. The open reading frame (ORF) of the gene

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

Isolation and Characterization of UDP-glucosyltransferase in the Cultured Cells of Nicotiana tabacum

HETEROCYCLES, 2002
A glucosyltransferase, catalyzing the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to hydroxycoumarins, was isolated from the cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum. The glucosyltransferase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by a procedure involving Sephadex G-25, Agarose-gel affinity, and Sephadex G-200 columns; the enzyme has molecular mass of 61 kDa ...

Protective role of UDP-glucosyltransferases against deoxynivalenol-induced proventriculitis in chicks

Microbial Pathogenesis
This study establishes the deoxynivalenol (DON)-induced proventriculitis model in chicks to evaluate the protective effects of UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs) against glandular stomach injury. In this study, the total of 75 1-day-old male partridge chicks were randomly divided into 5 groups or 10 days, the dietary and treatments includes basal diet as ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of Stevia rebaudiana UDP-glucosyltransferase.

Shi yan sheng wu xue bao, 2004
We report here the cloning and characterization of a UDP-glucose flavonoid glucosyltransferase (srUFGT) in Stevia rebaudiana. The isolated cDNA was 1419 bp in length encoding 473 deduced amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 53.2 kDa.
