Sysname
UDP-alpha-D-glucose:crocetin 8-O-D-glucosyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) UDP-alpha-D-glucose + crocetin = UDP + beta-D-glucosyl crocetin [RN:R09757];
(2) UDP-alpha-D-glucose + beta-D-glucosyl crocetin = UDP + bis(beta-D-glucosyl) crocetin [RN:R09758];
(3) UDP-alpha-D-glucose + beta-D-gentiobiosyl crocetin = UDP + beta-D-gentiobiosyl beta-D-glucosyl crocetin [RN:R09759]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09757 R09758 R09759
Substrate
UDP-alpha-D-glucose [CPD:C00029];
crocetin [CPD:C08588];
beta-D-glucosyl crocetin [CPD:C19867];
beta-D-gentiobiosyl crocetin [CPD:C19869]
Product
UDP [CPD:C00015];
beta-D-glucosyl crocetin [CPD:C19867];
bis(beta-D-glucosyl) crocetin [CPD:C19868];
beta-D-gentiobiosyl beta-D-glucosyl crocetin [CPD:C17513]
Comment
In the plants Crocus sativus and Gardenia jasminoides this enzyme esterifies a free carboxyl group of crocetin and some crocetin glycosyl esters. The enzyme from Gardenia can also form glucosyl esters with 4-coumarate, caffeate and ferulate [3].
