摘要:

植物类黄酮化合物是一类重要的天然产物,通常以糖苷的形式存在。尿苷二磷酸糖基转移酶(uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase,UGT)能够对类黄酮进行糖基化修饰,形成种类丰富的类黄酮糖苷,是许多药用植物中的类黄酮药用活性成分。近年来,随着越来越多的植物基因组被解析,大量参与类黄酮合成的糖基转移酶得以鉴定。本文首先简述了植物UGT的结构特征和家族分类,然后详细综述了植物类黄酮UGT的研究进展,对处于不同家族中的植物类黄酮UGT的修饰位点特异性、以及糖供体和糖受体的特异性进行了全面的归纳和总结,以期为植物类黄酮UGT的结构与功能相关性研究及新植物类黄酮UGT的发掘与鉴定研究奠定基础。

Abstract:

Flavonoids are important natural products in plants and usually exist in the form of glycosides. Uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases(UGTs)can modify flavonoids to form a variety of flavonoid glycosides, which are the active substances of flavonoid medicines in many medical plants. In recent years, as more and more plant genomes have been elucidated, a large number of glycosyltransferases involved in flavonoid synthesis have been identified. In this paper, we firstly introduced the structural features and family classification of plant UGTs, and then reviewed the advances in the study of flavonoid UGTs, had a complete summary on the selectivity of modification sites of plant flavonoid UGT in varied families, as well as the specificity of donors and receptors. It is aimed to lay a foundation for investigating the correlation between structure and function of plant flavonoid UGTs as well as the mining and identification of novel flavonoid UGTs.
