Highly Efficient Biosynthesis of Salidroside by a UDP-glucosyltransferase-catalyzed Cascade Reaction

Biotechnology Letters, 2023
Abstract Objective Salidroside is an important plant-derived aromatic compound with diverse biological properties. The main objective of this study was to synthesize salidroside from tyrosol using UDP-glucosyltransferase (UGT) with in situ regeneration of UDP-glucose (UDPG).

UDP-glucosyltransferase 71C4 controls the flux of phenylpropanoid metabolism to shape cotton seed development. [PDF]

Plant Commun
Seeds play a crucial role in plant reproduction, making it essential to identify genes that affect seed development. In this study, we focused on UDP-glucosyltransferase 71C4 (UGT71C4) in cotton, a member of the glycosyltransferase family that shapes seed width and length, thereby influencing seed index and seed cotton yield.

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

UDP-glucosyltransferase HvUGT13248 confers type II resistance to Fusarium graminearum in barley

Plant Physiology, 2023
Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB) of barley (Hordeum vulgare) causes yield losses and accumulation of trichothecene mycotoxins (e.g. deoxynivalenol [DON]) in grains. Glucosylation of DON to the nontoxic DON-3-O-glucoside (D3G) is catalyzed by UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs), such as barley UGT13248. We explored the natural diversity of

Neuronal expression of glucosylceramide synthase in central nervous system regulates body weight and energy homeostasis.

PLoS Biology, 2013
Hypothalamic neurons are main regulators of energy homeostasis. Neuronal function essentially depends on plasma membrane-located gangliosides. The present work demonstrates that hypothalamic integration of metabolic signals requires neuronal expression ...

Purification and Characterization of a UDP-Glucosyltransferase Produced by Legionella pneumophila [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2003
ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila is the agent of Legionnaires' disease. It invades and replicates within eukaryotic cells, including aquatic protozoans, mammalian macrophages, and epithelial cells. The molecular mechanisms of the Legionella interaction with target cells are not fully defined. In

Chemical structure of 1-O-(L-erythro-biopterin-2'-yl)-a-glucose isolated from a cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942

Pteridines, 2001
A pteridine glycoside in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942, the structure of which had been tentatively identified as biopterin-glucoside, was isolated and characterized for its exact chemical structure by 2D-NMR spectroscopy. The determined structure is 1-0-(L-

The quality control of glycoprotein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, a trip from trypanosomes to mammals

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
The present review deals with the stages of synthesis and processing of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides occurring in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and their relationship to the acquisition by glycoproteins of their proper tertiary structures.

Genome-wide analysis of UDP-glycosyltransferase gene family and identification of members involved in flavonoid glucosylation in Chinese bayberry (Morella rubra)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Glycosylation was catalyzed by UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) and was important for enriching diversity of flavonoids. Chinese bayberry (Morella rubra) has significant nutritional and medical values because of diverse natural flavonoid glycosides. However,
