ILA | LA | SA | |
---|---|---|---|
Km [mM] | 0.472 ± 0.097 | 0.461 ± 0.079 | 0.151 ± 0.028 |
kcat [s-1] | 0.914 ± 0.067 | 0.582 ± 0.035 | 0.331 ± 0.016 |
kcat/km [s-1 mM-1] | 1.94 | 1.26 | 2.2 |
Enzyme reactions were performed using recombinantly expressed UGT76B1 and 14C-labeled UDP-glucose together with ILA or LA as aglycon substrates to obtain kcat and Km values (see section “Materials and Methods”; n = 4, ±SE). Values with SA were determined based on the absorption of SA and SA glucoside at 302 nm (see section “Materials and Methods”; n = 3, ±SE). While Km values for ILA and LA were similar, kcat were significantly different (t-test, p = 0.005). The derived enzymatic efficiencies kcat/Km are indicated as well.
