Bifunctional cytosolic UDP-glucose 4-epimerases catalyse the interconversion between UDP-D-xylose and UDP-L-arabinose in plants.
UDP-sugars serve as substrates in the synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides and are themselves generated through sequential interconversion reactions from UDP-Glc (UDP-glucose) as the starting substrate in the cytosol and the Golgi apparatus. For the present study, a soluble enzyme with UDP-Xyl (UDP-xylose) 4-epimerase activity was purified approx. 300-fold from pea (Pisum sativum L.) sprouts ...
متن کاملSynthesis of flavonoid O-pentosides by Escherichia coli through engineering of nucleotide sugar pathways and glycosyltransferase.
Plants produce two flavonoid O-pentoses, flavonoid O-xyloside and flavonoid O-arabinoside. However, analyzing their biological properties is difficult because flavonoids are not naturally produced in sufficient quantities. In this study, Escherichia coli was used to synthesize the plant-specific flavonoid O-pentosides quercetin 3-O-xyloside and quercetin 3-O-arabinoside. Two strategies were use...
متن کاملUDP-glycosyltransferases from the UGT73C subfamily in Barbarea vulgaris catalyze sapogenin 3-O-glucosylation in saponin-mediated insect resistance.
Triterpenoid saponins are bioactive metabolites that have evolved recurrently in plants, presumably for defense. Their biosynthesis is poorly understood, as is the relationship between bioactivity and structure. Barbarea vulgaris is the only crucifer known to produce saponins. Hederagenin and oleanolic acid cellobioside make some B. vulgaris plants resistant to important insect pests, while oth...
متن کاملL-Arabinose metabolism in Rhizobium japonicum.
l-Arabinose was metabolized through an oxidative pathway by extracts of a strain of Rhizobium japonicum. The findings showed that l-arabinose is converted into 2-keto-3-deoxy-l-arabonate, which is cleaved into glycoaldehyde and pyruvate.
متن کاملL-arabinose operon of Escherichia coli
TIG December 2000, volume 16, No. 12 559 Over forty years of research on the L-arabinose operon of Escherichia coli have provided insights into the mechanism of positive regulation of gene activity. This research also discovered DNA looping and the mechanism by which the regulatory protein changes its DNA-binding properties in response to the presence of arabinose. As is frequently seen in focu...
