2.4.1.215 |
Accepted name: |
cis-zeatin O-β-D-glucosyltransferase |
Reaction: |
UDP-glucose + cis-zeatin = UDP + O-β-D-glucosyl-cis-zeatin |
Glossary: |
zeatin = (E)-2-methyl-4-(9H-purin-6-ylamino)but-2-en-1-ol = (E)-N6-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl)adenine |
Systematic name: |
UDP-glucose:cis-zeatin O-β-D-glucosyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme from maize can use cis-zeatin and UDP-glucose as substrates, but not cis-ribosylzeatin, trans-zeatin or trans-ribosylzeatin. Unlike EC 2.4.1.203, trans-zeatin O-β-D-glucosyltransferase, UDP-D-xylose cannot act as a donor. |
