Screening of Plant UDP-Glycosyltransferases for Betanin Production in Yeast

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Abstract To cover the rising demand for natural food dyes, new sources and production methods are needed. Microbial fermentation of nature-identical colours, such as the red pigment betanin, has the potential to be a cost-efficient alternative to plant extraction.

The induction and inhibition of UDP-glycosyltransferases in Haemonchus contortus and their role in the metabolism of albendazole

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2022
Albendazole (ABZ) is an anthelmintic frequently used to treat haemonchosis, a common parasitosis of ruminants caused by the gastrointestinal nematode Haemonchus contortus. This parasite is able to protect itself against ABZ via the formation of inactive ABZ-glycosides.

Computational-guided discovery of UDP-glycosyltransferases for lauryl glucoside production using engineered E. coli

Bioresources and Bioprocessing
Defining suitable enzymes for reaction steps in novel synthetic pathways is crucial for developing microbial cell factories for non-natural products. Here, we developed a computational workflow to identify C12 alcohol-active UDP-glycosyltransferases. The

Genome assembly of Elcysma westwoodi provides insights into host‐plant cyanogenic glucoside detoxification and chemical defence gene evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A chromosome‐level genome of Elcysma westwoodi was assembled. The genome encodes 272 detoxification‐related genes. A single‐copy bCAS was retained for cyanide detoxification. CYP405A and CYP332A were recruited into cyanogenic defence evolution. UGT33A retained a conserved GT‐B fold and catalytic domains.

Integrated proteomic and metabolomic analysis reveals that rhodomyrtone reduces the capsule in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Scientific Reports, 2017
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria is a healthcare problem worldwide. We evaluated the antimicrobial activity of rhodomyrtone, an acylphloroglucinol present in Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaves, against the human Gram-positive pathogen ...

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Identification of a Flavonoid Glucosyltransferase Involved in 7-OH Site Glycosylation in Tea plants (Camellia sinensis)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Flavonol glycosides, which are often converted from aglycones in a process catalyzed by UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs), play an important role for the health of plants and animals.

Functional Differentiation of Duplicated Flavonoid 3-O-Glycosyltransferases in the Flavonol and Anthocyanin Biosynthesis of Freesia hybrida

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Flavonols and anthocyanins are two widely distributed groups of flavonoids that occurred apart during plant evolution and biosynthesized by shared specific enzymes involved in flavonoid metabolism.

DcH3.3 and DcNAC1 Regulate the Expression of UGT73A93 Involved in the Changes in Flower Colour and Fungal Resistance in Carnation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) contains abundant flavonoid glycosides (FGs), which are important natural functional and colour components. However, there are few reports on the modification of UDP‐glycosyltransferases (UGTs) in relation to flavonoids in carnation.
