Engineering plant glucosyltransferases for biotechnological production of useful glucosides

Curcumin glucosyltransferase (CaUGT2) isolated from cell cultures of Catharanthus roseus exhibits unique substrate specificity, but its Km value for UDP-glucose is higher than that for curcumin. In contrast, the Km value of NtGT1b for UDPglucose is much lower than that of CaUGT2. To improve the cata...
