Discovery of salicyl benzoate UDP‐glycosyltransferase, a central enzyme in poplar salicinoid phenolic glycoside biosynthesis

Abstract: SUMMARY The salicinoids are anti‐herbivore phenolic glycosides unique to the Salicaceae (Populus and Salix). They consist of a salicyl alcohol glucoside core, which is usually further acylated with benzoic, cinnamic or phenolic acids. While salicinoid structures are well known, their biosynthesis remains enigmatic. Recently, two enzymes from poplar, salicyl alcohol benzoyl transferase and benzyl alcohol benzoyl transferase, were shown to catalyze the production of salicyl benzoate, a predicted potential interm… Show more

“…Despite this deficiency, the greater impact of the 35S promoter compared to the WP promoter on SPG profiles was obvious. The synthesis of phenolic compounds belonging to the SPG group is still unresolved due to reticulate pathways with no apparent direct connection to the most simple salicinoid, salicin (Babst et al, 2010;Fellenberg et al, 2020), although it is increasingly accepted that the specialized metabolism of phenolic compounds is tightly linked to primary metabolism (Harding et al, 2013), and our study further suggests that cell wall acetylation may indeed alter, and determine levels of, phenolic compounds in aspen.…”

“…S5 B and S7 ) ( 45 ). Although UGTs of the diterpene pathway were not well studied, some UGTs that participate in phenylpropanoid, sterol, and phytohormone pathways were previously characterized ( 10 , 18 , 20 , 21 , 25 , 26 , 46 , 47 , 48 ). To shortlist candidate UGTs of kalmegh diterpene pathway, a phylogenetic analysis was carried out using biochemically characterized UGTs.…”

“…Herbivory also induced salicin levels. Salicin is a β-glucoside of saligenin (salicyl alcohol) and characteristic for the defense response within the Salicaceae [31]. The volatile metabolites, styrene and benzaldehyde, were significantly elevated in the MB leaves as well as four non-volatile isoprenoids (secologanin, delphinine, cephalomannine and 2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate) that also can be associated to defense responses.…”
