Histidine 352 (His352) and tryptophan 355 (Trp355) are essential for flax UGT74S1 glucosylation activity toward secoisolariciresinol.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Flax secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) lignan is a natural phytoestrogen for which a positive role in metabolic diseases is emerging. Until recently however, much less was known about SDG and its monoglucoside (SMG) biosynthesis.

Combining phenotypic, physiological, and multi‐omics studies to provide new insights on the role of 2,4‐epibrassinolide in regulation of seed shattering in Elymus sibiricus L.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Seed shattering limits the production of Elymus sibiricus L., and application of exogenous brassinosteroid significantly alleviates plant organ abscission. Methods To explore the potential regulatory network of brassinosteroid on seed shattering, the abscission zone of E. sibiricus cv. Lanyu No.

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 ...

Phenolic profile of selected grape (Vitis vinifera L.) varieties in the course of ripening and Botrytis cinerea infections

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Grapevine phenolic compounds play key roles in plant defense and wine quality. Composition depends on factors such as maturity and infections such as grey mold caused by Botrytis cinerea. Grapevines respond to infections by actively modifying their phenolic profile.

Effect of COMT and UGT1A Variants on Clinical Response to Opicapone in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Symptomatic treatment is based on dopaminergic replacement. With disease progression, the initial benefit of levodopa becomes inconsistent, and motor complications emerge.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all
