A cellulose synthase-derived enzyme catalyses 3-O-glucuronosylation in saponin biosynthesis

Saponins such as glycyrrhizin, a natural sweetener found in licorice root, are a class of triterpenoids synthesized that are characterized by a glucoronic acid moiety at the C-3 position. Here the authors show that saponin glucuronosylation is catalyzed by cellulose-synthase like enzymes and reconst...
