UDP-glucose:protein transglucosylase in developing maize endosperm

UDP-Glc:protein transglucosylase (UPTG) (EC 2.4.1.112), involved in the first step of a two-step mechanism proposed in potato tuber for protein-bound α-glucan synthesis, was found in developing maize endosperm. The enzyme transfers glucosyl residues from UDP-[14C]glucose to an endogenous protein acc...
