Modulation of Sex Pheromone Discrimination by A UDP-Glycosyltransferase in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2020
The detection and processing of chemical stimuli involve coordinated neuronal networks that process sensory information. This allows animals, such as the model species Drosophila melanogaster, to detect food sources and to choose a potential mate. In peripheral olfactory tissues, several classes of proteins are acting to modulate the detection of ...

Essential oil from Cymbopogon citratus exhibits “anti-aspergillosis” potential: in-silico molecular docking and in vitro studies

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2022
Background Aspergillosis, has recently confounded some states of India. Due to major role in fungal cell wall synthesis, in the present study UDP-glycosyltransferase, Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase and chitin synthase were chosen as an appropriate ...

The role of UDP-glycosyltransferases in xenobioticresistance

Drug Metabolism Reviews, 2022
Uridine diphosphate sugar-utilizing glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are an enzyme superfamily that catalyzes glycosyl residues transfer from activated nucleotide sugars to acceptor molecules. In addition to various endogenous compounds, numerous xenobiotics are substrates of UGTs.

A transcript profiling approach reveals an abscisic acid-specific glycosyltransferase (UGT73C14) induced in developing fiber of Ligon lintless-2 mutant of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Ligon lintless-2, a monogenic dominant cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fiber mutation, causing extreme reduction in lint fiber length with no pleiotropic effects on vegetative growth, represents an excellent model system to study fiber elongation.

Identification of a tomato UDP-arabinosyltransferase for airborne volatile reception

Nature Communications, 2023
Volatiles from herbivore-infested plants can function as chemical warning signals to neighbouring plants. Here the authors show that a tomato UDP-glycosyltransferase can convert a volatile signal emitted by infested plants to promote plant defense.

Udp-Glycosyltransferases of Plant Hormones [PDF]

Advances in Cell Biology, 2014
Summary UDP-glycosyltransferases (GTases, UGT) catalyze the transfer of the sugar moiety from the uridine-diphosphate-activated monosaccharide (e.g. uridine-diphosphate-5’-glucose, UDPG) molecule to the specific acceptor. Glycosides contain aglycons attached by a β-glycosidic bond to C1 of the saccharide moiety.

Broadening the roles of UDP‐glycosyltransferases in auxin homeostasis and plant development [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2021
Summary The levels of the important plant growth regulator indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) are tightly controlled within plant tissues to spatiotemporally orchestrate concentration gradients that drive plant growth and development. Metabolic inactivation of bioactive IAA is known to participate in the modulation of IAA maxima and minima.

Discovering New Substrates of a UDP-Glycosyltransferase with a High-Throughput Method. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) form a large enzyme family that is found in a wide range of organisms. These enzymes are known for accepting a wide variety of substrates, and they derivatize xenobiotics and metabolites for detoxification. However, most UGT homologs have not been well characterized, and their potential for biomedical and environmental ...

New Quinolinone O-GlcNAc Transferase Inhibitors Based on Fragment Growth

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
O-GlcNAcylation is an important post-translational and metabolic process in cells that must be carefully regulated. O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) is ubiquitously present in cells and is the only enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of O-GlcNAc to proteins ...
