Abstract excerpt
Although N-acetylglucosamine-1-P uridylyltransferase (GlcNAc1pUT) that catalyzes the final step of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway and is conserved among, organisms, produces UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), an essential sugar moiety involved in protein glycosylation and structural polymers, its biological function in plants remains unknown. In this study, two GlcNA.UT genes were characterized in...
