TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Isolation and characterization of a novel glycosyltransferase that converts phloretin to phlorizin, a potent antioxidant in apple

The dihydrochalcone phlorizin (phloretin 2¢-glucoside) contributes to the flavor, color and health benefits of apple fruit and processed products. A genomics approach was used to identify the geneMdPGT1in apple (Ma-lus x domestica) with homology to the UDP-glycosyltransferase 88 family of uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases that show specificity towards flavonoid substrates. | ễFEBS Journal Isolation and characterization of a novel glycosyltransferase that converts phloretin to phlorizin a potent antioxidant in apple Hélène Jugde1 Danny Nguy1 Isabel Moller1 Janine M.

A genomics approach was used to identify the gene MdPGTl in apple Ma-lus x domestica with homology to the UDP-glycosyltransferase 88 family of uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases that show specificity towards flavonoid substrates. Expressed sequence tags for MdPGTl were found in all tissues known to produce phlorizin including leaf flower and fruit. However the highest expression was measured by quantitative PCR in apple root tissue. The recombinant MdPGT1 enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli glycosylated phloretin in the presence of 3H -UDP-glucose but not other apple antioxidants including quercetin naringenin and cyanidin. The product of phloretin and UDP-glucose co-migrated with an authentic phlorizin standard. LC MS indicated that MdPGT1 could glycosylate phloretin in the presence of three sugar donors UDP-glucose UDP-xylose and UDP-galactose. This is the first report of functional characterization of a UDP-glycosyltransferase that utilizes a dihydrochalcone as its
