7 glucoside/애기장대

In higher plants, beta-glucosidases belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) Family 1 have been implicated in several fundamental processes including lignification. Phylogenetic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana GH Family 1 has revealed that At1g61810 (BGLU45), At1g61820 (BGLU46), and At4g21760 (BGLU47)

BACKGROUND Brassinosteroids (BRs) are signaling molecules that play essential roles in the spatial regulation of plant growth and development. In contrast to other plant hormones BRs act locally, close to the sites of their synthesis, and thus homeostatic mechanisms must operate at the cellular

Kaempferol and quercetin 3-O-β-glucoside-7-O-α-rhamnoside (K3G7R and Q3G7R, respectively) are major flavonol bisglycosides accumulating in Arabidopsis thaliana with synergistic abiotic stresses (i.e., nitrogen deficiency and low temperature, NDLT). However, these molecules disappear rapidly during

The phenylpropanoid pathway in plants leads to the synthesis of a wide range of soluble secondary metabolites, many of which accumulate as glycosides. In Arabidopsis, a small cluster of three closely related genes, UGT72E1-E3, encode glycosyltransferases shown to glucosylate several phenylpropanoids

Cytokinin is an indispensable phytohormone responsible for physiological processes ranging from root development to leaf senescence. The term "cytokinin" refers to several dozen adenine-derived compounds occurring naturally in plants. Cytokinins (CKs) can be divided into various classes

To promote efficient production of syringin, a plant-derived bioactive monolignol glucoside, synergistic effects of enzymatic and metabolic engineering were combined. Recombinant UGT72E3/E2 chimeras, generated by exchanging parts of the C-terminal domain including the Putative Secondary Plant

Flavonol 3-O-diglucosides with a 1→2 inter-glycosidic linkage are representative pollen-specific flavonols that are widely distributed in plants, but their biosynthetic genes and physiological roles are not well understood. Flavonoid analysis of four Arabidopsis floral organs (pistils, stamens,

The major anthocyanin in A. thaliana is a cyanidin derivative modified by glycosylation as well as by the addition of three acyl moieties: malonyl, p-coumaroyl, and sinapoyl. We have isolated a member of the BAHD acyltransferase family which catalyzes this malonylation reaction by combining a

Although amino acid auxotrophs are among the most frequently isolated mutations in microorganisms, no mutants that require amino acids have been isolated at the whole plant level. Tryptophan-requiring mutants of the cruciferous plant Arabidopsis thaliana have now been isolated by selecting for

The catabolism of cytokinins is a vital component of hormonal regulation, contributing to the control of active forms of cytokinins and their cellular distribution. The enzyme catalyzing the irreversible cleavage of N(6)-side chains from cytokinins is a flavoprotein classified as cytokinin

This study investigates the consequences of endogenously enhanced biosynthesis of the plant hormone cytokinin in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Transcriptional control of the bacterial ipt gene by the Drosophila melanogaster hsp70 promoter enabled temperature-dependent increased cytokinin

Multi-monocistronic and multi-variate vectors were designed, built, and tested for the improved production of cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (C3G) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The synthetic bio-parts were designed in such a way that multiple genes can be assembled using the

Two sustainable and cost-effective cascade enzymatic systems were developed to regenerate uridine diphosphate (UDP)-α-D-glucose and UDP-β-L-rhamnose from sucrose. The systems were coupled with the UDP generating glycosylation reactions of UDP sugar-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes

A multigenic trait (biosynthesis of the secondary metabolite, dhurrin cyanogenic glucoside) was engineered de novo in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). This follows a recent report of transfer of the same trait to Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) using three genetic sequences from sorghum (Sorghum

Rosin, a cinnamyl alcohol glucoside, is one of the important ingredients in Rhodiola rosea, which is a valuable medicinal herb used for centuries. Rosin displayed multiple biological activities. The traditional method for producing rosin and derivatives is direct extraction from R. rosea, which
