EC 2.4.2.41 Details
EC number
2.4.2.41
Accepted name
xylogalacturonan β-1,3-xylosyltransferase
Reaction
Transfers a xylosyl residue from UDP-D-xylose to a D-galactose residue in xylogalacturonan, forming a β-1,3-D-xylosyl-D-galactose linkage.
Other name(s)
xylogalacturonan xylosyltransferase, XGA xylosyltransferase
Systematic name
UDP-D-xylose:xylogalacturonan 3-β-D-xylosyltransferase
Comment
Involved in plant cell wall synthesis. The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana also transfers D-xylose from UDP-D-xylose onto oligogalacturonide acceptors. The enzyme did not show significant activity with UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose, or UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine as sugar donors.
