Research Abstract |
The present investigation was carried out to glycosylate various natural compounds with useful physiological activities by using recombinant glycosyltransferases, and to compare the intestinal absorption of the glycosides. A wide array of plant secondary product glucosyltransferases were cloned from various plant sources and their biochemical functions were characterized. Apocarotenoid glucosyltransferases from Gardenia jasminoides, iridoid-specific glucosyltranferases from Catharanthus roseus, Lonicera japonica and G. jasminoides, and a prenylfuranocoumarin glucosyltransferase from Glehnia littoralis were successfully isolated and functionally characterized, providing a working platform for synthetic biology of plant secondary glucosides. A series of quercetin glycosides were enzymatically synthesized and their intestinal absorption and anti-inflammatory activity were compared.
