UDP - Glucosyltransferase Activity of Housefly Microsomal Fraction By ANTONIO MORELLO * and YOLANDA REPETTO
Housefly UDP-glucosyltransferase activity towards p-nitrophenol was demonstrated in a system in vitro. The activity is localized in the microsomal fraction, requires UDPglucose, is slightly stimulated by Mg2+ and is activated optimally over a wide range of detergent concentration. Phenobarbital increases the enzyme(s) activity about 3-fold, with p-nitrophenol as substrate, which differs from th...
متن کاملhigher-plant microsomal fraction
NADPH-cytochrome P450 (cytochrome c) reductase (EC 1.6.2.4) was solubilized by detergent from microsomal fraction of wounded Jerusalem-artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tubers and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The purification was achieved by two anion-exchange columns and by affinity chromatography on 2',5'-bisphosphoadenosine-Sepharose 4B. An Mr value of 82000 was obtained by SDS...
متن کاملTranscriptional analysis and promoter activity of the Spodoptera littoralis multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase gene.
The ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase gene (egt) of Spodoptera littoralis multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpliMNPV) is a homologue of the Autographa californica MNPV (AcMNPV) egt gene, which has been found to block insect moulting. Infection of larvae with an egt-deleted AcMNPV resulted in enhanced mortality as compared to infection with the wild-type virus. Consequently, deletion of an egt...
متن کاملExpression and structural characterization of a baculovirus ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase.
The baculovirus enzyme ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (EGT) disrupts the hormonal balance of the insect host by catalysing the conjugation of ecdysteroids, the moulting hormones, with the sugar moiety from UDP-glucose or UDP-galactose. In this study, EGT has been overproduced using a recombinant Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus and an antiserum has been raised against the purifi...
متن کاملUDP-glucose: glucosyltransferase activity involved in the biosynthesis of flavonol triglucosides in Pisum sativum L. seedlings.
From young, light-grown seedlings of Pisum sativum L. an enzyme activity catalyzing the glucosylation of kaempferol and quercetin in the 3-position to form the 3-0-triglucoside derivative has been demonstrated. The reaction proceeds from the aglycone via the mono- and diglucoside intermediates. The triglucoside can be produced from any of the less substituted derivatives with uridine diphosphat...
