LITERATURE
evolution
malfunction
overexpression of the LGT gene can reduce the delayed bitterness problem in citrus juice and enhance the accumulation of specific glucosides that have anticancer effects
metabolism
physiological function
limonoid glucosyltransferase (LGT) is a natural debittering enzyme, because the delayed bitterness problem is caused mainly by limonoid aglycones such as limonin. THe product of LGT reaction, limonin 17-beta-D-glucopyranoside, in non-bitter and has anticancer potential in animals including humans
additional information
evolution
the enzyme belongs to clade C of flavonoid and limonoid glucosyltransferases
evolution
the enzyme belongs to the superfamily PLN03004 (UDP-glycosyltransferase). Citrus reticulata limonoid glucosyltransferase (CrLGT) occupies a position on an independent branch in the largest subgroup and is phylogenetically different from those in other mandarin species like Citrus unshiu, showing its uniqueness in several features

limonoids are highly oxygenated triterpenes present mostly in Rutaceae and other limited plants of Meliaceae and Simaroubaceae, tissue distribution, overview. Limonoid glucosyltransferases belong to the family of glycosyltransferases. Two alleles (CitLGT1/ CitLGT2) of LGT at a single locus which are related to the dexadlayed bitterness in Citrus. The CitLGT2 differs from CitLGT1 by 15 nucleotide substitutions and these subxadstitutions are scattered throughout the coding region of the gene
evolution
limonoids are highly oxygenated triterpenes present mostly in Rutaceae and other limited plants of Meliaceae and Simaroubaceae, tissue distribution, overview
metabolism
enzyme LGT is important in the limonoid metabolism pathway in Citrus plants. Limonoid glucosyltransfease (LGT) is the only single regulatory enzyme that is able to convert all limonoid aglycones such as nomilin, obacunone, and ichangin present in Citrus spp. to their respective glucosides, in addition to limonoate A-ring lactone (LARL) to limonin glucopyranoside. During juicing process bitter limonin is immediately produced from LARL precursor by limonin D-ring lactone hydrolase (LLH) regulatory enzyme, especially in early to mid-stage developed Citrus fruits

-
limonoid glucosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of bitter limonoid into non-bitter limonoid glucoside while retaining the health benefit of limonoids in the juice
additional information
inhibition of the enzyme acxadtivity by Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions suggests that thiol, carboxyl groups or histidine residues are directly or indirectly involved in the catalytic mechanism of the LGT enzyme. Inhibitory efxadfect of citraconic anhydride suggests the lysine or arginine may be involved in catalytic activity of pummelo LGT

Limonoid glucosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of bitter limonoid into non-bitter limonoid glucoside while retaining the health benefit of limonoids in the juice. The immobilization of this enzyme in a column can solve the juice bitterness problem
food industry
major problem in the orange industry is delayed bitterness, which is caused by limonin, a bitter compound developing from its non-bitter precursor limonoate A-ring lactone (LARL) during and after extraction of orange juice. The glucosidation of LARL by limonoid UDP-glucosyltransferase (LGT) to form non-bitter glycosyl-limonin during orange maturation has been demonstrated as a natural way to debitter by preventing the formation of limonin. Enzyme LGT activity can be used to develop biotechnology-based approaches for producing orange juice from varietals that traditionally have a delayed bitterness
food industry
overexpression of the LGT gene can reduce the delayed bitterness problem in citrus juice
food industry
Citxadrus limonoid glucosyltransferase which is a key playxader for natural debitterness and anticancerous potenxadtial, can be utilized for metabolic engineering of Citxadrus limonoids to get rid of delayed bitterness problem along with enhanced limonoid glucoside molecules. The presence or absence of LGT can serve as a molecxadular indicator for determining the level of accumulaxadtion of limonoid glucoside and may reflect ultimately the possibility of delayed bitterness in available Citrus germplasm. Enhanced activity of LGT in citrus fruits may increase the glucoside level, which in turn will reduce the bitterness problem

Citxadrus limonoid glucosyltransferase which is a key playxader for natural debitterness and anticancerous potenxadtial, can be utilized for metabolic engineering of Citxadrus limonoids to get rid of delayed bitterness problem along with enhanced limonoid glucoside molecules. The presence or absence of LGT can serve as a molecxadular indicator for determining the level of accumulaxadtion of limonoid glucoside and may reflect ultimately the possibility of delayed bitterness in available Citrus germplasm. Enhanced activity of LGT in citrus fruits may increase the glucoside level, which in turn will reduce the bitterness problem

medicine
overexpression of the LGT gene can enhance the accumulation of specific glucosides that have anticancer effects. Citrus limoxadnoids, specifically limonoid glucosides, which are the prodxaduct of glucosyltransferase enzyme, are water-soluble and have good bioavailability and non-toxic effects in animals and huxadmans. Thus, they can easily be used as nutraceuticals and health fortifiers in many functional foods
medicine
Citxadrus limonoid metabolic engineering, and extraction as well as utilization of bioactive limonoids for health promoting and disease-preventing benefits. Limonoids are present in a very high amount in Citrus seeds and peel and thus their extractions can have commercial value. Limonoid aglycones and a mixture of limonoid glucosides are administered in human breast cancer cell lines. It has been demonstrated that limonoids are more potent than tamoxifen for estrogen-independent breast cancer cells and equally potent as tamoxifen for estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells. Effects and mechanisms of limonoids on cancer cells, overview. The Citrus limonoids such as obacunone, limonin, nomilxadin and their glucosides and some aglycones are found to have cytotoxic effects against lung, oral and skin cancers in animal test system and human breast cancer cells

limonoid glucosides are important compounds not only for the processing industry but also for the consumer, bitterness due to limonoids is an important economic problem in commercial citrus juice production, limonoid aglycones are converted to nonbitter glucosides by the GTase, enhancement of the limonoid GTase activity through genetic engineering could reduce aglycone concentration, insertion of a gene encoding for GTase into commercial cultivars could create transgenic citrus varieties producing fruits potentially free of limonoid bitterness
