Glycosylation plays a major role in the structural diversification of plant natural products. It influences the properties of molecules by modifying the reactivity and solubility of the corresponding aglycones, so influencing cellular localization and bioactivity. Glycosylation of plant natural products is usually carried out by uridine diphosphate(UDP)-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) belonging to the carbohydrate-active enzyme glycosyltransferase 1 (GT1) family. These enzymes transfer sugars from UDP-activated sugar moieties to small hydrophobic acceptor molecules. Plant GT1s generally show high specificity for their sugar donors and recognize a single UDP sugar as their substrate. In contrast, they are generally promiscuous with regard to acceptors, making them attractive biotechnological tools for small molecule glycodiversification. Although microbial hosts have traditionally been used for heterologous engineering of plant-derived glycosides, transient plant expression technology offers a potentially disruptive platform for rapid characterization of new plant glycosyltransferases and biosynthesis of complex glycosides.

植物特异性代谢的甜蜜面。

糖基化在植物天然产物的结构多样化中起主要作用。它通过改变相应糖苷配基的反应性和溶解度来影响分子的性质,从而影响细胞定位和生物活性。植物天然产物的糖基化通常由属于碳水化合物活性酶糖基转移酶 1 (GT1) 家族的尿苷二磷酸 (UDP) 依赖性糖基转移酶 (UGT) 进行。这些酶将糖从 UDP 激活的糖部分转移到小的疏水受体分子。植物 GT1 通常对其糖供体表现出高度特异性,并将单个 UDP 糖识别为其底物。相比之下,它们在受体方面通常是混杂的,这使得它们成为小分子糖多样化的有吸引力的生物技术工具。
