Sterol glycosyltransferases catalyze the synthesis of diverse glycosteroids in plants, leading to a change in their participation in cellular metabolism. Withania somnifera is a medically important plant, known for a variety of pharmacologically important withanolides and their glycosides. In this study, a cytosolic sterol glucosyltransferase was purified 3406 fold to near homogeneity from W. somnifera leaves and studied for its biochemical and kinetic properties. The purified enzyme was active with UDP-glucose but not with UDP-galactose as sugar donor. It exhibited broad sterol specificity by glucosylating a variety of sterols and phytosterols with 3beta-OH group. It showed a low level of activity with flavonoids and isoflavonoids. The enzyme gave maximum K(cat)/K(m) value (0.957) for 24-methylenecholesterol that resembles aglycone structure of pharmacologically important sitoindosides VII and VIII from W. somnifera. The enzyme follows ordered sequential bisubstrate mechanism of reaction, in which UDP-glucose and sterol are the first and second binding substrates. This is the first detailed kinetic study on purified plant cytosolic sterol glucosyltransferases. Results on peptide mass fingerprinting and substrate specificity suggested that the enzyme belongs to the family of secondary metabolite glucosylating glucosyltransferases. The enzyme activity exhibited a rapid in vivo response to high temperature and salicylic acid treatment of plants, suggesting its physiological role in abiotic and biotic stress. << Less

Steroidal saponins are widely distributed in many plant species. Their diverse structures have resulted in a wide range of applications, including drug and medicine production. It has been suggested that the nature of the non-saccharide and oligosaccharide portions of the saponin molecule both contribute to the properties of individual saponins. Despite numerous studies on the occurrence, chemical structure, and varying pharmaceutical activities of steroidal saponins, their biosynthesis pathway is poorly understood. Glycosylation is thought to be the final step in steroidal saponin biosynthesis and it is thought to be involved in regulating the biological activities of saponins. Isolation of the glycosyltransferases that catalyze the transfer of sugar molecules to steroidal compounds will help to clarify the mechanisms that produce diverse saponins and control their activities in plants. In this study, we obtained three cDNAs encoding putative glycosyltransferases from Solanum aculeatissimum. One of the three, SaGT4A showed UDP-glucosyltransferase activity. This is the first cloned glucosyltransferase involved in steroidal saponin biosynthesis. SaGT4A catalyzes the 3-O-glucosylation of steroidal sapogenins, such as diosgenin, nuatigenin, and tigogenin. This enzyme also glucosylates steroidal alkaloids, such as solanidine, solasodine, and tomatidine. Gene expression analysis revealed that the accumulation of SaGT4A transcripts showed a unique response to wounding stress indicating the involvement of SaGT4A in plant defense system. << Less
