Three-dimensional structures of UDP-sugar glycosyltransferases illuminate the biosynthesis of plant polysaccharides.
Cell-free preparations of the bacterium Acetobacter xylinum were first reported to synthesize cellulose from UDP-Glc over 40 years ago (Glaser, 1958). Despite the elucidation of the primary sequence of the cellulose synthase from this organism in 1990 (Wong et al., 1990), a consistent mechanism to account for the biosynthesis of this and related polysaccharides has remained elusive. Opposing vi...

متن کاملAnalyses of Plant UDP-Dependent Glycosyltransferases to Identify Their Volatile Substrates Using Recombinant Proteins.
Glycosylation is one of major modifications for plant secondary metabolites. In the case of volatile compounds, glycosylation makes them nonvolatile and odorless. Identification of UDP-dependent glycosyltransferases responsible for volatile glycosylation is essential to understand the regulatory mechanism of volatile release from plant tissues. Here, we describe an efficient protocol to find po...
متن کاملPlant hormones
Plant hormones have been studied for more than a century because they have been heavily implicated in the control of plant growth and development. For many years, they have been considered to fall into five classes: auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid and ethylene. More recently, a variety of additional classes such as brassinosteroids have been added and it seems likely that more w...
متن کاملA plant mutase that interconverts UDP-arabinofuranose and UDP-arabinopyranose.
Plant cell walls constitute the bulk of the earth renewable source of energy and are a component in the diet of humans and herbivores. l-Arabinofuranosyl (Araf) residues are a quantifiably important constituent of these walls. Plants use uridine diphosphate (UDP)-l-arabinofuranose (UDP-Araf) to donate Araf residues in the biosynthesis of Araf-containing polysaccharides, proteoglycans, and glyco...
