Characterization of a novel silkworm (Bombyx mori) phenol UDP-glucosyltransferase. [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 2002
Sugar conjugation is a major pathway for the inactivation and excretion of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. We report here the molecular cloning and functional characterization of a phenol UDP‐glucosyltransferase (UGT) from the silkworm, Bombyx mori, which was named BmUGT1. The complete cDNA clone is 1.6 kb, and the gene is expressed in several

Structure of the ecdysone glucoside formed by a baculovirus ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase

Insect Biochemistry, 1991
Abstract 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 characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and by fast atom bombardment mass ...

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 ...

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
