Determining Putative Secondary Product Glucosyltransferase Expression During <em>Citrus paradisi</em> Growth and Development.
<p>Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that have significant roles in plant defense and human nutrition. Glucosyltransferases (GTs) transfer sugars from high energy sugar donors to other substrates. Several different kinds of flavonoid GTs exist in the tissues of grapefruit making it a model plant …

Flavonoid Glucosyltranferases: Cloning and Sequencing of Putative Glucosyltranferases from <em>Citrus paradisi</em> (Grapefruit) Leaves.
<p>Flavonoids are chemically modified by glucosylation, hydroxylation, methylation, etc. During glucosylation, the sugar moiety from UDP-sugar is transferred to aglycone flavonoid substrates by glucosyltransferases (GTs). Grapefruit contains 5 different glucosyltransferases that demonstrate …

Cloning, Expression, and Biochemical Characterization of Recombinant Putative Glucosyltransferases Clone 3 and 8 from Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi)
<p>The grapefruit plant, <em>Citrus paradisi</em>, tends to accumulate high levels of flavonoid glycosides such as flavanones and flavones. Flavonoids have a vast array of important functions in plants and also in humans. Glucosyltransferases (GTs) are enzymes responsible for glucosylation …

cDNA Cloning, Expression and Characterization of a Putative Glucosyltransferase (GT) from Grapefruit (<em>Citrus paradisi</em>) Leaves.
<p>Flavonoids are plant secondary metabolites that are integral to our lives. Grapefruits are well-known for production of unique glucosylated products and the enzymes responsible are UDP-glucose:glucosyltransferases (GTs). The objective of this research was to obtain full-length clones of putative …

Cloning and Sequencing of Glucosyltransferase (GT) Genes from Grapefruit (<em>Citrus paradisi</em>) Seedlings, Searching for 7-O-GT.
<p>Flavonoids play crucial roles in plant life cycles and in human welfare. Grapefruit plants produce several glycosylated flavonoids and the glycosylation reactions are catalyzed by UDP-glucose: glucosyltransferases (GTs). Our objective was to use the SMART RACE RT-PCR strategy to obtain cDNA …

Cloning, Heterologous Expression in Yeast, and Biochemical Characterization of Recombinant Putative Glucosyltransferase Clones 9 and 11 from Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi)
<p>Flavonoids are plant secondary metabolites that play diverse roles in plants and human health. These compounds in most part exist in the glucosylated form. Grapefruit accumulates high levels of glucosylated flavonoids. Plant secondary product glucosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze the glucosylation …

Expression and Characterization of Putative Plant Secondary Product Glucosyltransferase Clone 10 from <em>Citrus paradisi</em> and Resolution of Multiple Bands in PGT5/6.
… flavonoids perform their important roles. <em>Citrus paradisi</em> (grapefruit) is known to be active in flavonoid metabolism and possesses a variety of secondary product GTs. This research is designed to test the hypothesis that PGT10 is a flavonoid glucosyltransferase. PGT10 was cloned, …
