Table 2. Substrate specificity of GuUGDs.

Nucleotide-sugar Relative enzyme activity of isoforms (%)
GuUGD1 GuUGD2 GuUGD3 GuUGD4 GuUGD5
UDP-glucose 100 100 100 100 n.d.
UDP-galactose n.d. n.d. n.d. 15 n.d.
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine n.d. n.d. n.d. 10 n.d.

We calculated enzyme activity based on initial velocity within 10 min measured by monitoring the conversion of NAD(P)+ to NAD(P)H, detected by the absorbance at 340 nm. 100% corresponds to the activity indicated in the standard assay with UDP-glucose as a substrate and NAD+ as a cofactor. n.d., not detected.
