Year: 2014 Number of pages: 257 Flavonoid glycosides are natural plant secondary metabolites exhibiting many physicochemical and biological properties. Glycosylation usually improves flavonoid solubility but access to flavonoid glycosides is limited by their low production levels in plants. In this thesis work, the focus was placed on the development of new glucodiversification routes of natural flavonoids by taking advantage of protein engineering. Two biochemically and structurally characterized recombinant transglucosylases, the amylosucrase from Neisseria polysaccharea and the α-(1→2) branching sucrase, a truncated form of the dextransucrase from L. Mesenteroides NRRL B-1299, were selected to attempt glucosylation of different flavonoids, synthesize new α-glucoside derivatives with original patterns of glucosylation and hopefully improved their water-solubility.

RECENT PROGRESS AND FUTURE NEEDS TADEUSZ ANISZEWSKI1*, REINHARD LIEBEREI2, AND KRZYSZTOF GULEWICZ3 1Research and Teaching Laboratory of Applied Botany, University of Joensuu, FIN-80100 Joensuu, Finland, 2Unit of Applied Ecology and Crop Science, Biocenter Klein Flottbek and Botanical Garden, University of Hamburg, Ohnhorststrasse 18, D-22609 Hamburg, Germany, 3Laboratory of Phytochemistry, Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, ul. Noskowskiego 12, PL-60100 Poznan, Poland Received February 13, 2008; revision accepted May 30, 2008 Polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) reveal a range of forms and occur in all plants and crops. PPOs are comprised of three enzymes (catecholase, laccase, cresolase) with very different activities and specificities. Cresolase has a dualistic form (cresolase is only in plants and tyrosinase is only in animals and microorganisms). Very often in the literature the generic word "PPO" is used inappropriately as one enzyme. This should be avoided in future studies, as clear systematics and correct nomenclature of PPOs are needed for proper research. PPOs have dif- ferent substrate specificities and typical inhibitors, and they catalyze hydroxylation and oxidation processes in plants. Pigment formation in cells and cellular systems is affected by active PPOs. Catecholases, laccases and cresolases are encoded by nuclear genes of plants. Various PPO DNA sequences have been found, and PPOs occur in multiple gene families. The protective potential of PPOs in plants and enhanced herbivory resistance is debated, and the final evidence has not yet appeared. The activity of PPOs in germination is recognized, but its mechanism is still not clear.
