Uridine Diphosphate Glucose (UDP-G) Activates Oxidative Stress and Respiratory Burst in Isolated Neutrophils [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2023 The extracellular purinergic agonist uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-G) activates chemotaxis of human neutrophils (PMN) and the recruitment of PMN at the lung level, via P2Y14 purinergic receptor signaling.

Thermodynamics of binding of divalent magnesium and manganese to uridine phosphates: implications for diabetes-related hypomagnesaemia and carbohydrate biocatalysis [PDF]
Chemistry Central Journal, 2008 Background Although the necessity of divalent magnesium and manganese for full activity of sugar nucleotidyltransferases and glycosyltransferases is well known, the role of these metal cations in binding the substrates (uridine 5'-triphosphate, glucose-1-

Uridine diphosphate glucose confers oxidative stress tolerance in microalgae [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Microalgae, as major primary producers on Earth, are constantly exposed to oxidative stresses from various natural environments. These oxidative stresses often seriously threaten the productivity and species composition of microalgae. However,

UDP-glucose and MRS2905 agonist-bound states of the purinergic P2Y14 receptor [PDF]
Communications BiologyP2Y14 receptors respond to uracil-diphosphate-hexose conjugates, yet how this receptor selectively recognizes both uracil-nucleotides and hexose moieties of diverse agonists remains unclear.

Chemical Oxidation of Uridine Diphosphate-Glucose to Uridine Diphosphate-Glucuronic Acid [PDF]
Nature, 1961 THE importance of uronic acids in carbohydrate metabolism has only recently begun to be elucidated. The metabolism of inositol and ascorbate is known to involve uronic acid intermediates1,2, and nucleotide-bound glucuronic acid has been implicated in hyaluronic acid synthesis3.

Uridine Diphosphate Glucose: the Coenzyme of the Galactose–Glucose Phosphate Isomerization [PDF]
Nature, 1950 A PREVIOUS report1 dealt with the enzymatic conversion of galactose-1-phosphate into glucose-1-phosphate and mentioned that a thermostable factor is necessary for the reaction. This factor has now been obtained practically pure, and for reasons given below will be referred to as uridine diphosphate glucose.

Structural basis of collagen glucosyltransferase function and its serendipitous role in kojibiose synthesis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCollagen glucosyltransferases catalyze collagen glucosylation critical for biology and diseases, yet their structural regulation remains unclear. Here, we report crystal structures of a mimiviral collagen glucosyltransferase in its apo form and in ...

Multienzyme Platform for the Synthesis of UDP Sugars and Human Milk Oligosaccharides. [PDF]
ChembiochemEngineered Escherichia coli produces six enzymes (UMPK, PPK3, GALK, NAHK, GALU, PPA) that are purified and used in a cell‐free cascade to synthesize UDP‐N‐acetylglucosamine (UDP‐GlcNAc) and UDP‐galactose (UDP‐Gal) from inexpensive substrates. The cascades can be coupled with glycosyltransferases for in situ nucleotide sugar regeneration, enabling ...
