UDP-Glycosyltransferase superfamily protein

Gene Summary

UGT72E2 is an UDPG:coniferyl alcohol glucosyltransferase which glucosylates sinapyl- and coniferyl aldehydes as well as sinapyl- and coniferyl alcohol. The enzyme is thought to be involved in lignin metabolism. A knockdown mutant line (72E2KD) was obtained using RNAi silencing. A twofold reduction in coniferyl alcohol 4-<i>O</i>-glucoside and sinapyl alcohol 4-<i>O</i>-glucoside was detected in this line compared to wildtype. In comparison, both knockout and knockdown lines of UGT72E1 and UGT72E3, respectively, failed to display the same reduction in phenylpropanoid 4-<i>O</i>-glucosides.
