Abstract
|
|
|
Glycosyltransferase family 1 (UGT) uses small chemicals including phenolics, antibiotics, and alkaloids as substrates to have an influence in biological activities. A glycosyltransferase (XcGT-2) from Xanthomonas campestris was cloned and consisted of a 1,257 bp open reading frame encoding a 45.5 kDa protein. In order to use this for the modification of phenolic compounds, XcGT-2 was expressed in Escherichia coli as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein. With the E. coli transformant expressing XcGT-2, biotransformation of flavonoids was carried out. Flavonoids having a double bond between carbons 2 and 3, and hydroxyl groups at both C-3¡¯ and C-4¡¯, were glycosylated and the glycosylation position was determined to be at the hydroxyl group of C-3¡¯, using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These results showed that XcGT-2 regiospecifically transferred a glucose molecule to the 3¡¯-hydroxyl group of flavonoids containing both 3¡¯ and 4¡¯-hydroxyl groups.
