The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is crucial for plant growth and adaptive responses to various stress conditions. Plants continuously adjust the ABA level to meet physiological needs, but how ABA homeostasis occurs is not fully understood. This study provides evidence that UGT71B6, an ABA
Uridine diphosphate-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP) occupies a central position in carbohydrate metabolism in all kingdoms of life, since its product uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-glucose) is essential in a number of anabolic and catabolic pathways and is a precursor for other sugar nucleotides.
Phenols are present in the environment and commonly in contact with humans and animals because of their wide applications in many industries. In a previous study, we reported that uridine diphosphate-glucose-dependent glucosyltransferase PtUGT72B1 from Populus trichocarpa has high activity in
Plants, as predominantly sessile organisms, have evolved complex detoxification pathways to deal with a diverse range of toxic chemicals. The elasticity of this stress response system additionally enables them to tackle relatively recently produced, novel, synthetic pollutants. One such compound is
Isorhamnetin-3-O-rhamnoside was synthesized by a highly efficient three-enzyme (rhamnosyltransferase, glycine max sucrose synthase and uridine diphosphate (UDP)-rhamnose synthase) cascade using a UDP-rhamnose regeneration system. The rhamnosyltransferase gene (78D1) from Arabidopsis
Two sustainable and cost-effective cascade enzymatic systems were developed to regenerate uridine diphosphate (UDP)-α-D-glucose and UDP-β-L-rhamnose from sucrose. The systems were coupled with the UDP generating glycosylation reactions of UDP sugar-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes
Flavonoids are predominantly found as glycosides in plants. The glycosylation of flavonoids is mediated by uridine diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGT). UGTs attach various sugars, including arabinose, glucose, galactose, xylose, and glucuronic acid, to flavonoid aglycones. Two UGTs
Regioselective glycosylation of flavonoids cannot be easily achieved due to the presence of several hydroxyl groups in flavonoids. This hurdle could be overcome by employing uridine diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs), which use nucleotide sugars as sugar donors and diverse compounds
Acceptor substrates flexibility of previously characterized flavonol 7-O-rhamnosyltransferase (AtUGT89C1) from Arabidopsis thaliana was explored with an endogenous nucleotide diphosphate sugar and five different classes of flavonoids (flavonols, flavones, flavanones, chalcone and stilbenes) through
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) is glucose analog routinely used in clinical and animal radiotracer studies to trace glucose uptake but it has rarely been used in plants. Previous studies analyzed FDG translocation and distribution pattern in plants and proposed that FDG could be used as a tracer
The uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase (UGT) plays the central role in glycosylation of small molecules by transferring sugars to various acceptors including bioactive natural products in plants. UGT89C1 from Arabidopsis thaliana is a novel UGT, a rhamnosyltransferase, specifically recognizes
Quercetin-4'-O-glucoside is one of the major quercetin derivatives in the mature red onion bulb. It has an adjuvant effect on allergies, asthma, arthritis, and cancer. The present study aimed to use uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase 88A1 (UGT88A1) from Arabidopsis thaliana to achieve the
2,4,5-Trichlorophenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, 3-methylcatechol, phenol, hydroquinone, catechol, and 3,4-dichloroaniline are present in the environment and are risky to humans and animals because of their wide applications in many industries. In this study, a putative uridine diphosphate
To identify candidate genes involved in Arabidopsis flavonoid biosynthesis, we applied transcriptome coexpression analysis and independent component analyses with 1388 microarray data from publicly available databases. Two glycosyltransferases, UGT79B1 and UGT84A2 were found to cluster with
Uridine diphosphate-glucose dehydrogenase (UGD, EC1.1.1.22 oxidizes UDP-Glc (UDP-D-glucose) to UDP-GlcA (UDP-D-glucuronate), a critical precursor of cell wall polysaccharides. GbUGD6 from Gossypium barbadense is more highly expressed late in the elongation of cotton fibers (15 d post-anthesis (DPA))
