Glycosyltransferases of the GT77 family

    7 Citationer (Scopus)

    Abstract

    GT77 does not include entries from animals, prokaryotes or fungi, but it spans the entire green plant lineage from the simplest marine microalgae to angiosperms. Only two biochemical activities have been demonstrated in the family: the xylosyltransferases involved in rhamnogalacturonan-II synthesis and a cytoplasmic galactosyltransferase from the single slime mould member of the family. With so little biochemical information available, we will instead analyse and use phylogenetic and taxonomic information to characterize the family and occasionally develop working hypotheses regarding function. Some evolutionary contours of the GT77 family emerge, which are interesting in themselves, and lead us to propose which organisms may turn out to be useful models for functional dissection of family GT77 and possibly other families of glycosyltransferases.
