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

Characterization of a heat responsive UDP: Flavonoid glucosyltransferase gene in tea plant (Camellia sinensis). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) accumulates abundant flavonoid glycosides that are the major bioactive ingredients in tea. Biosynthesis of flavonoid glycosides are catalyzed by UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs) that are widely present in plants.

Metal Ion Activation of Clostridium sordellii Lethal Toxin and Clostridium difficile Toxin B

Toxins, 2016
Lethal Toxin from Clostridium sordellii (TcsL) and Toxin B from Clostridium difficile (TcdB) belong to the family of the “Large clostridial glycosylating toxins.” These toxins mono-O-glucosylate low molecular weight GTPases of the Rho and Ras families by

The two Caenorhabditis elegans UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase homologues have distinct biological functions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) is the sensor of glycoprotein conformations in the glycoprotein folding quality control as it exclusively glucosylates glycoproteins not displaying their native conformations.

Characterization of the ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase gene from Mamestra brassicae nucleopolyhedrovirus

Journal of General Virology, 1996
The ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (egt) gene of Mamestra brassicae multinucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (MbMNPV) has been cloned and characterized. MbMNPV egt potentially encodes a protein of 528 amino acids. Analysis of the substrate specificity of the MbMNPV EGT protein showed that it mirrors that of Autographa californica MNPV (AcMNPV) EGT ...
