Advances in the Study of Glycosyltransferases Involved in Plant Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis
糖基转移酶在植物次生代谢途径中的研究进展

Glycosyltransferases (GT) are able to catalyze the glycosyl transfer to a specific receptor molecule on a class of enzymes from the activated donor. The organisms are widespread in a large number of glycosyltransferase enzymes, and the formation of the super-gene family. GT have been widespread concerning for the importance of plant life and its potential economic value. This article provided an overview of the role of GT in the plant secondary metabolites, describing the gene family and its evolutionary relationship with plant secondary metabolic pathways, and summarizes the cloning methods and new strategies.
