Genome-wide analysis of the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase gene family in Arabidopsis, a key enzyme for matrix polysaccharides in cell walls [PDF]

, 2007
Arabidopsis cell walls contain large amounts of pectins and hemicelluloses, which are predominantly synthesized via the common precursor UDP-glucuronic acid.

Pharmacokinetic Prediction and Cytotoxicity of New Quercetin Derivatives

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quercetin (QUE) possesses various pharmacological properties; however, its low bioavailability and solubility hinder its beneficial effects. Enzymatic glycosylation has been explored to improve these aspects. In the present study, we used a sucrose phosphorylase variant to catalyze the regioselective transglucosylation of QUE, predicted the ...

Overexpression of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase from Larix gmelinii enhances growth and cold tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana

Biologia Plantarum, 2017
Uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) plays an important role in biosynthesis of hemicellulose by catalyzing oxidation of UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) to UDP-glucuronate (UDP-GlcA), a key sugar nucleotide involved in biosynthesis of the plant cell ...

Mathematical Model of ingested glucose in Glucose-Insulin Regulation [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Here, we develop a mathematical model for glucose-insulin regulatory system. The model includes a new parameter which is the amount of ingested glucose. Ingested glucose is an external glucose source coming from digested food. We assume that the external glucose or ingested glucose decays exponentially with time.

The Sulfoquinovosyltransferase-like Enzyme SQD2.2 is Involved in Flavonoid Glycosylation, Regulating Sugar Metabolism and Seed Setting in Rice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Seed setting is an important trait that contributes to seed yield and relies greatly on starch accumulation. In this study, a sulfoquinovosyl transferase-like protein, designated as SQD2.2 involved in seed setting and flavonoid accumulation, was ...

Increased activity of sugarcane sucrose‐phosphate synthase in transgenic tomato in response to N‐terminal truncation

Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2022
Sucrose‐phosphate synthase (SPS) is a key enzyme catalyzing the formation of sucrose‐6‐phosphate through the transfer of uridine‐diphosphate glucose (UDP‐G) as a donor to fructose‐6‐phosphate (F6P) as an acceptor. Plant SPS consists of three main domains:
