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.

Cloning and Characterization of a Bean Udp-Glucosyltransferase cDNA Expressed During Plant-Bacterial Interactions [PDF]

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
A cDNA clone, which corresponds to an RNA transcript that accumulates in bean during the hypersensitive reaction, was isolated and designated Hra25 (for hypersensitive reaction associated). Hra25 is predicted to encode a UDP-glucosyltransferase. Northern

UDP-glucosyltransferase PpUGT85A2 controls volatile glycosylation in peach. [PDF]

J Exp Bot, 2019
The monoterpene linalool is a major contributor to aroma and flavor in peach (Prunus persica) fruit. It accumulates during fruit ripening, where up to ~40% of the compound is present in a non-volatile glycosylated form, which affects flavor quality and consumer perception by retronasal perception during tasting.

Ecdysteroid UDP-Glucosyltransferase Expression in Beauveria bassiana Increases Its Pathogenicity against Early Instar Silkworm Larvae. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel), 2023
Beauveria bassiana (B. bassiana) is a broad-spectrum entomopathogenic fungus that can control pests in agriculture and forestry. In this study, encoding ecdysteroid uridine diphosphate glucosyltransferase gene (egt) was successfully screened in B. bassiana on the medium containing 500μg/mL G418 sulfate solution through the protoplast transformation ...

Enzymatic Synthesis of Unnatural Ginsenosides Using a Promiscuous UDP-Glucosyltransferase from Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]

Molecules, 2018
Glycosylation, which is catalyzed by UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs), is an important biological modification for the structural and functional diversity of ginsenosides. In this study, the promiscuous UGT109A1 from Bacillus subtilis was used to synthesize unnatural ginsenosides from natural ginsenosides.

UDP-glucosyltransferase activity of housefly microsomal fraction [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1979
Housefly UDP-glucosyltransferase activity towards p-nitrophenol was demonstrated in a system in vitro. The activity is localized in the microsomal fraction, requires UDP-glucose, is slightly stimulated by Mg2+ and is activated optimally over a wide range of detergent concentration.

Diversification of phenolic glucosides by two UDP-glucosyltransferases featuring complementary regioselectivity

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
AbstractBackgroundGlucoside natural products have been showing great medicinal values and potentials. However, the production of glucosides by plant extraction, chemical synthesis, and traditional biotransformation is insufficient to meet the fast-growing pharmaceutical demands.

Purification and kinetic analysis of a baculovirus ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1998
The baculovirus ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (EGT) disrupts the hormonal balance of the insect host by catalysing the conjugation of ecdysteroids, the moulting hormones, with the sugar moiety from UDP-glucose or UDP-galactose. In this study, Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus EGT has been overproduced and purified, and its kinetic ...

Origin and Evolution of Two Independently Duplicated Genes Encoding UDP- Glucose: Glycoprotein Glucosyltransferases in Caenorhabditis and Vertebrates

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
UDP- glucose: glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) is a protein that operates as the gatekeeper for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control mechanism of glycoprotein folding.

UDP-glucose, cereblon-dependent proinsulin degrader

Scientific Reports, 2022
Insulin secretion is regulated in multiple steps, and one of the main steps is in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we show that UDP-glucose induces proinsulin ubiquitination by cereblon, and uridine binds and competes for proinsulin degradation and ...
