ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.202

Accepted Name

2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 2-D- glucosyltransferase.

Alternative Name(s)

DIMBOA glucosyltransferase.

Reaction catalysed

UDP-alpha-D-glucose + 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one <=> UDP + (2R)-4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-2-yl beta-D-glucopyranoside
UDP-alpha-D-glucose + 2,4-dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one <=> UDP + (2R)-4-hydroxy-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-2-yl beta-D-glucopyranoside

Comment(s)

The enzyme is involved in the detoxification of the benzoxazinoids DIBOA (2,4-dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one) and DIMBOA (2,4- dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one) which are stored as the respective non-toxic glucosides in the vacuoles in some plants, most commonly from the family of Poaceae (grasses).
Benzoxazinoids are known to exhibit antimicrobial, antifeedant, and antiinsecticidal effects and are involved in the interaction of plants with other plants, insects, or microorganisms.
