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.

Functional analysis of a UDP-glucosyltransferase gene contributing to biosynthesis of the flavonol triglycoside in tea plants. [PDF]

Hortic Res
Abstract Flavonol glycosides have many prominent benefits to human health and significant contributions to the growth and development of tea plant as well as the color and taste of tea infusion. In this study, a gene isolated from tea plant was found to encode a 52.2-kDa protein located on the plasma membrane and in the cytoplasm with ...

Ethanol triggers grape gene expression leading to anthocyanin accumulation during berry ripening [PDF]

, 2002
Recent studies have shown that low doses of ethanol stimulate the maturation of some fruits. The present work showed that spraying Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with 5% ethanol at veraison enhances the anthocyanin accumulation.

O-Glycosylation of thrombospondin type 1 repeats : identification and characterisation of β1,3-glucosyltransferase [PDF]

, 2008
Rare types of protein glycosylation often occur in a domain-specific manner required for important biological functions (Okajima et al. 2008). O-linked fucosylation, where the fucose is linked directly to the hydroxyl groups of serine or threonine ...

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 ...

Detoxification of the Fusarium Mycotoxin Deoxynivalenol by a UDP-glucosyltransferase from Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
Plant pathogenic fungi of the genus Fusarium cause agriculturally important diseases of small grain cereals and maize. Trichothecenes are a class of mycotoxins produced by different Fusarium species that inhibit eukaryotic protein biosynthesis and presumably interfere with the expression of genes induced during the defense response of the plants.

Predicting the substrate specificity of a glycosyltransferase implicated in the production of phenolic volatiles in tomato fruit [PDF]

, 2010
The volatile compounds that constitute the fruit aroma of ripe tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) are often sequestered in glycosylated form. A homology-based screen was used to identify the gene SlUGT5, which is a member of UDP-glycosyltransferase 72 family ...

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-

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
