Insect UDP-glycosyltransferases and xenobiotic metabolism
Pesticide Biochemistry and PhysiologyUDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are a superfamily of enzymes ubiquitously found in virtually all organisms. They catalyze the addition of sugars from UDP-sugar donors that greatly enhance the water solubility of molecules, facilitating excretion. There are 10-76 Ugts in different insect species, and the last decade has seen a remarkable increase in ...

Enzymatic synthesis of novel isobavachalcone glucosides via a UDP-glycosyltransferase
Archives of Pharmacal Research, 2015Glycosylation is often used to improve a natural product's properties such as water solubility, chemical stability, pharmacological potency, and structure diversification. In this study, we studied the enzymatic synthesis of novel isobavachalcone glucosides using a UDP-glycosyltransferase (YjiC) from Bacillus licheniformis DSM-13.

Drosophila Cellular Immune System: Dorothy Encodes a UDP Glycosyltransferase
2001Immune defense in Drosophila has humoral and cellular components that act effectively to control infectious organisms through the production of antimicrobial proteins and the phagocytosis and encapsulation of invading organisms (reviewed in 9). The main tissue of humoral immune defense is the fat body, which corresponds to the mammalian liver. Cellular

Enzymatic synthesis of novel corylifol A glucosides via a UDP-glycosyltransferase
Carbohydrate Research, 2017Corylifol A, a member of the isoflavone subclass of isoflavonoids, has long been considered to have various biological activities. Here, we sought to synthesize corylifol A glucosides by the in vitro glucosylation reaction using the UDP-glycosyltransferase YjiC from Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13, and obtained two novel glucosides: corylifol A-4',7-di-O-

Metabolic detoxification of capsaicin by UDP‐glycosyltransferase in three Helicoverpa species
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011AbstractCapsaicin β‐glucoside was isolated from the feces of Helicoverpa armigera, Helicoverpa assulta, and Helicoverpa zea that fed on capsaicin‐supplemented artificial diet. The chemical structure was identified by NMR spectroscopic analysis as well as by enzymatic hydrolysis.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Novel Bavachinin Glucoside by UDP‐glycosyltransferase
Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 2016AbstractBavachinin, a member of the flavanone subclass of flavonoids, has long been considered to have various biological activities. Here, the synthesis of novel bavachinin glucoside by the in vitro glycosylation reaction was successfully achieved using a UDP‐glucosyltransferase YjiC, from Bacillus licheniformis DSM‐13.

The covalent addition of sugars to small organic molecules is mediated by a superfamily of UDP glycosyltransferases (UGTs) found in animals, plants and bacteria. This superfamily evolved by gene duplication and divergence to manage exposure to a changing environment of lipophilic chemicals.
