The enzyme UDP-glucose: hydroxycoumarin 7-O-glucosyltransferase (CGTase), which catalyzes the formation of scopolin from scopoletin, was purified approximately 1200-fold from a culture of 2,4-D-treated tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Bright Yellow T-13) with a yield of 7%. Purification to
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. Bright Yellow) T-13 cell line has the ability to produce scopoletin endogenously and release some of it into the culture medium. We investigated the mechanism of scopoletin uptake following treatment of a tobacco culture with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).
In higher plants, secondary metabolites are often converted to their glycoconjugates by glycosyltransferases (GTases). We cloned a cDNA encoding GTase (NtGT2) from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). The recombinant enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli (rNTGT2) showed glucosylation activity against
