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 ...

In Porphyromonas gingivalis VimF is involved in gingipain maturation through the transfer of galactose. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Previously, we have reported that gingipain activity in Porphyromonas gingivalis, the major causative agent in adult periodontitis, is post-translationally regulated by the unique Vim proteins including VimF, a putative glycosyltransferase.

Metabolic Engineering of Escherichia coli for Hyperoside Biosynthesis

Microorganisms, 2022
Hyperoside (quercetin 3-O-galactoside) exhibits many biological functions, along with higher bioactivities than quercetin. In this study, three UDP-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) were screened for efficient hyperoside synthesis from quercetin. The

Jawsamycin exhibits in vivo antifungal properties by inhibiting Spt14/Gpi3-mediated biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol

Nature Communications, 2020
Biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is essential for the integrity of the fungal cell wall. Here, the authors show that the natural product jawsamycin inhibits GPI biosynthesis by targeting a subunit of the fungal UDP-glycosyltransferase ...

Identification of UGT85A glycosyltransferases associated with volatile conjugation in grapevine (Vitis vinifera × Vitis labrusca)

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2023
Glycosylated volatiles are considered as hidden aroma precursors that affect fruit flavor and are involved in plant defense response. Several uridine-diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferase (UGT) members related to the glycosylation of volatiles have been ...
