UGT708S6 from Dendrobium catenatum, catalyzes the formation of flavonoid C-glycosides.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dendrobium catenatum is a perennial herb of the genus Dendrobium orchidaceae. It has been known as "Golden Grass, Soft Gold" since ancient times with effects of strengthening the body, benefiting the stomach, generating body fluid, nourishing Yin and clearing internal heat. The flowers of D. catenatum have anti-oxidation, immune regulation and other biological activities. The composition analysis of flowers showed that flavonoid glycosides were significantly accumulated in floral tissue. However, in the flowers of D. catenatum, there was only one case of the UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) responsible for the glycosylation of flavonoids has been reported.

Result

In this study, a new UGT (named UGT708S6) was cloned from D. catenatum flowers rich in O-glycosides and C
