Functional Characterization of a Novel Glycosyltransferase (UGT73CD1) from Iris tectorum Maxim. for the Substrate promiscuity.

Glycosylflavonoids are a class of natural products with multiple pharmacological activities and a lot of glycosyltransferases from various plant species have been reported that they were involved in the biosynthesis of these phytochemicals. However, no corresponding glycosyltransferase has been identified from the famous horticultural and medicinal plant Iris tectorum Maxim. Here, UGT73CD1, a novel glycosyltransferase, was identified from I.
