== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Glycosylation is an important post-modification reaction in plant secondary metabolism, and contributes to structural diversity of bioactive natural products. In plants, glycosylation is usually catalyzed by UDP-glycosyltransferases. Flavonoid 2'-O-glycosides are rare glycosides. However, no UGTs have been reported, thus far, to specifically catalyze 2'-O-glycosylation of flavonoids. In this work, UGT71AP2 was identified from the medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis as the first flavonoid 2'-O-glycosyltransferase. It could preferentially transfer a glycosyl moiety to 2'-hydroxy of at least nine flavonoids to yield six new compounds. Some of the 2'-O-glycosides showed noticeable inhibitory activities against cyclooxygenase 2. The crystal structure of UGT71AP2 (2.15 A) was solved, and mechanisms of its regio-selectivity was interpreted by pK (a) calculations, molecular docking, MD simulation, MM/GBSA binding free energy, QM/MM, and hydrogenâdeuterium exchange mass spectrometry analysis. Through structure-guided rational design, we obtained the L138T/V179D/M180T mutant with remarkably enhanced regio-selectivity (the ratio of 7-O-glycosylation byproducts decreased from 48% to 4%) and catalytic efficiency of 2'-O-glycosylation (k (cat)/K (m), 0.23 L/(s.mumol), 12-fold higher than the native). Moreover, UGT71AP2 also possesses moderate UDP-dependent de-glycosylation activity, and is a dual function glycosyltransferase. This work provides an efficient biocatalyst and sets a good example for protein engineering to optimize enzyme catalytic features through rational design.
