Comments: The enzyme from the bacterium Acholeplasma laidlawii, which lacks a cell wall, produces the major non-bilayer lipid in the organism. The enzyme from the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens acts under phosphate deprivation, generating glycolipids as surrogates for phospholipids. The enzyme belongs to the GT4 family of configuration-retaining glycosyltransferases. Many diacylglycerols with long-chain acyl groups can act as acceptors. cf. EC 2.4.1.336, monoglucosyldiacylglycerol synthase.

The meta-stable flavanone substrates such as 2-hydroxynaringenin exist in an equilibrium with open forms such as 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)propane-1,3-dione, which are the actual substrates for the glucosyl-transfer reaction (see EC 1.14.14.162, flavanone 2-hydroxylase). The enzyme can also act on dihydrochalcones. The enzymes from citrus plants can catalyse a second C-glycosylation reaction at position 5.

Accepted name: NDP-glycosyltransferase
Reaction: an NDP-glycose + an acceptor = a glycosylated acceptor + NDP
Other name(s): yjiC (gene name)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Bacillus licheniformis DSM-13, is an extremely promiscuous glycosyltransferase. It can accept ADP-, GDP-, CDP-, TDP-, or UDP-activated glycose molecules as donors, and can glycosylate a large number of substrates, catalysing O-, N-, or S-glycosylation.

Accepted name: sterol 27-β-glucosyltransferase
Reaction: UDP-α-D-glucose + a 27-hydroxysteroid = UDP + a sterol 27-β-D-glucoside
For diagram of reaction, click here
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-glucose:sterol 27-O-β-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, isolated from the plant Withania somnifera (ashwagandha), transfers D-glucose to a β-hydroxyl group present at the C-27 position in sterols/withanolides, provided the substrate possesses a 17α-OH group. Natural substrates are 17α-hydroxywithaferin A, 27β-hydroxywithanone, and 5α,6β,17α,27β-tetrahydroxywithanolide. The enzyme's activity with withanolide A and withanolide U, which lack a 17α-hydroxyl group, suggests it may also be able to glucosylate the C-20 β-OH position, although this has not been verified yet. The enzyme does not glucosylate sterols at the C-3 position.

Systematic name: linear (1→4)-α-D-glucan:(1→4)/(1→6)-α-D-glucan 6-α-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, originally discovered in lactic acid bacteria but later found in other organisms, is similar to EC 2.4.1.395, reuteransucrase, yet is not able to act on sucrose.

It also possesses an endo-α(1→4)-glycosidase activity. Due to its narrow binding groove, it is not able to act on branched substrates. cf. EC 2.4.1.396, 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (linear and branched substrates, branched products).

Accepted name: reuteransucrase
Reaction: formation of reuteran from sucrose
Glossary: reuteran = a high-molecular-mass branched α-glucan produced by the lactic acid bacterium Limosilactobacillus reuteri.
Systematic name: sucrose:α-D-glucan 4-α/6-α-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: The glucansucrases transfer a D-glucosyl residue from sucrose to a glucan chain. They are classified based on the linkage of the transferred glucosyl residue. The enzyme, characterized from the lactic acid bacterium Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain 121, catalyses the hydrolysis of sucrose and the transfer of the D-glucose moiety to suitable acceptors (inclduing sucrose), forming the glucan reuteran, which is typical for these strains. The enzyme forms mostly α(1→4) glucosidic linkages, but also α(1→6) linkages. The presence of maltose significantly accelerate the initial rate of the reaction. See EC 2.4.1.5, dextransucrase.

Accepted name: 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (linear and branched substrates, branched products)
Reaction: formation of a branched isomalto/malto-polysaccharide from branched malto-oligosaccharides
Other name(s): gtfB (gene name) (ambiguous); gtfD (gene name)
Systematic name: branched (1→4)-α-D-glucan:(1→4)/(1→6)-α-D-glucan 6-α-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, discovered in several bacterial species, is similar to EC 2.4.1.395, reuteransucrase, yet is not able to act on sucrose. The enzyme, which belongs to the glycoside hydrolase 70 (GH70) family, possesses both hydrolase and transglycosylase activities, cleaving endo α(1→4) linkages from the non-reducing end of maltooligosaccharides and adding the resulting oligosaccharides to the non-reducing end of α-D-glucan chains that terminate with a residue linked by an α-(1→4) linkage, forming an α(1→6) linkage. The enzyme is not able to form successive α(1→6) linkages. Unlike EC 2.4.1.394, 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (linear substrates/linear products), which can only act on linear substrates, this enzyme is able to act on both linear and branched substrates, and can form the branched reuteran type of α-glucan.

Accepted name: cyclic β-1,2-glucan glucanotransferase
Reaction: Cyclizes part of a (1→2)-β-D-glucan chain by formation of a (1→2)-β-D-glucosidic bond
Systematic name: (1→2)-β-D-glucan:(1→2)-β-D-glucan 2-β-D-[(1→2)-β-D-glucano]-transferase (cyclizing and configuration-retaining)
Comments: This enzyme is the cyclization domain of cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase. Enzymes from Brucella abortus and Thermoanaerobacter italicus were characterized. The cyclization domain of cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase is flanked by an N-terminal β-1,2-glucosyltransferase domain (cf. EC 2.4.1.391) and a C-terminal β-1,2-glucoside phosphorylase domain (cf. EC 2.4.1.333), with the former responsible for elongation and the latter for chain length control. The cyclization domain of Thermoanaerobacter italicus cyclizes linear oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 21 or higher to produce cyclic glucans with DP 17 or higher. The cyclization domain also disproportionates linear β-1,2-glucooligosaccharides without cycling. The entire cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase from Brucella abortus synthesizes cyclic β-1,2-glucans with DP 17-22.

Accepted name: β-galactofuranoside β-1,5-galactofuranosyltransferase
Reaction: UDP-α-D-galactofuranose + a β-D-galactofuranoside = UDP + a β-D-Galf-(1→5)-β-D-galactofuranoside
Other name(s): gfsA (gene name); O-glycan β-1,5-galactofuranosyltransferase
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-galactofuranose:β-D-galactofuranoside β-1,5-galactofuranosyltransferase (configuration-inverting)
Comments: Requires Mn2+. The enzyme, characterized from the flilamentous fungi Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus, participates in the synthesis of fungal-type galactomannan and O-mannose-type galactomannan, which are embedded in the fungal cell walls. While the reaction shown here describes the transfer of one galactofuransyl residue, the enzyme can add up to 5 more galactofuranosyl residues.
