Hemicellulose is entangled with cellulose through hydrogen bonds and meanwhile acts as a
bridge for the deposition of lignin monomer in the secondary wall. Therefore, hemicellulose …

In plants, the deoxy sugar l-rhamnose is widely present as rhamnose-containing polymers in
cell walls and as part of the decoration of various specialized metabolites. Here, we review …

Rhamnosyltransferase (RT) and rhamnose synthase (Rhs) are the key enzymes that are
responsible for the biosynthesis of rhamnosides and UDP-l-rhamnose (UDP-Rha) in plants …

Glycosylation of flavonoids is one of the most important modifications in flavonoid
biosynthesis pathways, which contributes to the biochemical activity as well as the solubility …

Asiaticoside is a triterpenoid in Centella asiatica with wound healing and anti-inflammatory
activities. De novo production of asiaticoside remains incompletely resolved. To determine …

Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are bidirectional biocatalysts catalyzing the glycosylation of
diverse molecules. However, the extensive applications of GTs in glycosides formation are …

UDP-rhamnose is the main type of sugar donor and endows flavonoids with special activity,
selectivity, and pharmacological properties by glycosylation. In this study, several UDP …

UDP-rhamnose is synthesized by UDP-rhamnose synthase, but the reaction requires two
kinds of cofactors, NAD+ and NADPH. In this work, a cofactor self-sufficient UDP-rhamnose …

Background Flavonol synthase (FLS) is the key enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of
flavonols, the most abundant flavonoids, which have diverse pharmaceutical effects …

Herein we describe the discovery and functional characterization of a steroidal
glycosyltransferase (SGT) from Ornithogalum saundersiae and a steroidal glycoside …
