Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites that exist in many medicinal plants. Flavonoid glycosyltransferases can transfer sugar moieties to their parent rings, producing various flavonoid glycosides with significant pharmacological activities. Here, we report the molecular cloning of the O-glycosyltransferase TwUGT2 from Tripterygium wilfordii and its catalytic activity was explored by heterologous expression in E. coli. The results showed that TwUGT2 has specific glycosyltransferase activity towards C-3 and 7 hydroxyl groups of flavonoids, thereby converting quercetin and pinocembrin into isoquercitrin and pinocembrin 7-O-beta-D-glucoside, respectively. The identification of TwUGT2 will provide a useful molecular tool for synthetic biology and contribute to drug discovery. (Figure presented.).

Stereoselective glycosylation is challenging in carbohydrate chemistry. Herein, stereoselective thioglycosylation of glycals via palladium-catalyzed allylic rearrangement yields various substituents on α-isomer thioglycosides. Two comprehensive series of aryl and benzyl thioglycosides were obtained via a combination of thiosulfates with glycals derived from glucose, arabinose, galactose, and rhamnose. Furthermore, diosgenyl α-l-rhamnoside and isoquercitrin achieved selectivity via stereospecific [2,3]-sigma rearrangements of α-sulfoxide-rhamnoside and α-sulfoxide-glucoside, respectively.

GT1 family glycosyltansferase, Sv0189, from Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230 (ATCC 10721) was characterized. The recombinantly produced protein Sv0189 possessed UDP-glycosyltransferase activity. Screening, using an assay employing unnatural nitrophenyl glycosides as activated donors, resulted in the discovery of a broad substrate scope with respect to both acceptor molecules and donor sugars. In addition to polyphenols, including anthraquinones, simple aromatics containing primary or secondary alcohols, a variety of complex natural products and synthetic drugs were glucosylated or xylosylated by Sv0189. Regioselectivity was established through the isolation and characterization of glucosylated products. Sv0189 and homologous proteins are widely distributed among Streptomyces species, and their apparent substrate promiscuity reveals potential for their development as biocatalysts for glycodiversification.
