Evolution of Plant Nucleotide-Sugar Interconversion Enzymes
Nucleotide-diphospho-sugars (NDP-sugars) are the building blocks of diverse polysaccharides and glycoconjugates in all organisms. In plants, 11 families of NDP-sugar interconversion enzymes (NSEs) have been identified, each of which interconverts one NDP-sugar to another. While the functions of these enzyme families have been characterized in various plants, very little is known about their evo...
متن کاملPlant nucleotide sugar formation, interconversion, and salvage by sugar recycling.
Nucleotide sugars are the universal sugar donors for the formation of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, glycolipids, and glycosylated secondary metabolites. At least 100 genes encode proteins involved in the formation of nucleotide sugars. These nucleotide sugars are formed using the carbohydrate derived from photosynthesis, the sugar generated by hydrolyzing translocated sucrose, ...
متن کاملMetabolic response induced by parasitic plant-fungus interactions hinder amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism in the host
Infestation by the biotrophic pathogen Gymnosporangium asiaticum can be devastating for plant of the family Rosaceae. However, the phytopathology of this process has not been thoroughly elucidated. Using a metabolomics approach, we discovered the intrinsic activities that induce disease symptoms after fungal invasion in terms of microbe-induced metabolic responses. Through metabolic pathway enr...
متن کاملSubcellular localization of sugar nucleotide synthetases.
Sugar nucleotides are Drecursors of sugar moieties in obtained bv others in brain and kidney (Gielen et al., 1970 glycGlipids and glycoproteins and thus may have a regulatory role in the metabolism of these macromolecules. We have therefore studied the subcellular localization of four sugar nucleotide synthetases. The pyrophosphorylases of GDP-fucose, GDP-mannose, and UDP-glucose were detected ...
متن کاملGolgi nucleotide sugar transporter modulates cell wall biosynthesis and plant growth in rice.
Golgi-localized nucleotide sugar transporters (NSTs) are considered essential for the biosynthesis of wall polysaccharides and glycoproteins based on their characteristic transport of a large number of nucleotide sugars to the Golgi lumen. The lack of NST mutants in plants has prevented evaluation of this hypothesis in plants. A previously undescribed Golgi NST mutant, brittle culm14 (bc14), di...
