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.

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.

Glycosyltransferase 8 domain-containing protein 1 (GLT8D1) is a UDP-dependent galactosyltransferase

Scientific Reports, 2023
Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are enzymes that catalyze the formation of glycosidic bonds and hundreds of GTs have been identified so far in humans. Glycosyltransferase 8 domain-containing protein 1 (GLT8D1) has been associated with central nervous system ...

A willow UDP-glycosyltransferase involved in salicinoid biosynthesis

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020
Abstract The salicinoids are phenolic glycosides that are characteristic secondary metabolites of the Salicaceae, particularly willows and poplars. Despite the well-known pharmacology of salicin, that led to the development of aspirin >100 years ago, the biosynthetic pathways leading to salicinoids have yet to be defined. Here, we

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 ...

Two Ginseng UDP-Glycosyltransferases Synthesize Ginsenoside Rg3 and Rd [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2014
Ginseng is a medicinal herb that requires cultivation under shade conditions, typically for 4-6 years, before harvesting. The principal components of ginseng are ginsenosides, glycosylated tetracyclic terpenes. Dammarene-type ginsenosides are classified into two groups, protopanaxadiol (PPD) and protopanaxatriol (PPT), based on their hydroxylation ...

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

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 ...
