Glycosyltransferases (GTs), a large class of carbohydrate-active enzymes, adds glycosyl moieties to various substrates to generate multiple bioactive compounds, including natural products with pharmaceutical or agrochemical values. Here, we first collected comprehensive information on GTs, including amino acid sequences, coding region sequences, available tertiary structures, protein classification families, catalytic reactions and metabolic pathways. Then, we developed sequence search and molecular docking processes for GTs, resulting in a GTs database (GTDB). In the present study, 520 179 GTs from approximately 21 647 species that involved in 394 kinds of different reactions were deposited in GTDB. GTDB has the following useful features: (i) text search is provided for retrieving the complete details of a query by combining multiple identifiers and data sources; (ii) a convenient browser allows users to browse data by different classifications and download data in batches; (iii) BLAST is offered for searching against pre-defined sequences, which can facilitate the annotation of the biological functions of query GTs; and lastly, (iv) GTdock using AutoDock Vina performs docking simulations of several GTs with the same single acceptor and displays the results based on 3Dmol.js allowing easy view of models.

Glycosylation is one of the most fundamental biochemical processes in cells. It plays crucial roles in diversifying plant natural products for structures, bioavailability and bioactivity, and thus, renders the glycosylated compounds valuable as food additives, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. Moreover, glycosylated compounds impact plant growth, development and stress response.

Introduction: Glomus tumors (GTs) are uncommon tumors that often appear as a single lesion in the subungual region. Multiple GT is a rare clinical entity that can be associated with other diseases or in the context of genetic mutations. However, the occurrence of solitary GTs simultaneously has also been reported rarely.

The MSH7 protein is a binding partner of MSH2 forming the MutSγ complex. This complex contributes to the plant mismatch repair (MMR) system by recognizing DNA base-base mismatches. Here, we evaluated the impact of MSH7 on genetic diversity of the tenth generation (G) of wild type and MSH7 deficient Arabidopsis thaliana plants before and after two days exposure to 100 mM NaCl.

Gait visual scores are widely applied to horse breeding because they are a fast and easy phenotyping strategy, allowing the numeric interpretation of a complex biological process such as gait quality. However, they may suffer from subjectivity or high environmental influence. We aimed to investigate potential causal relationships among six visual gait scores in Campolina horses.

Two types of glycerol stearates, glycerol monostearate (GMS) and glycerol tristearate (GTS), were added into poly(butylene adipate-co-terephtalate) (PBAT), with the aim to improve their water vapor barrier properties. The effects of the two small molecules on microstructure, chain mobility, and surface hydrophobicity were amply assessed via both experimental and simulation methods. The incorporation of the modifiers at small loadings, 5 wt% of GMS and 1 wt% of GTS, resulted in substantial improvements in water vapor barrier properties, while a further increase in the modifier content resulted in deterioration.
