Glycosyltransferase can convert lipophilic secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids into glycosylated forms. The bioavailability of secondary metabolites can be improved by glycosylation. An oleandomycin glycosyltransferase (OleD GT) gene from Streptomyces antibioticus was functionally expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The purified recombinant OleD GT was employed as the biocatalyst for the glycosylation of amentoflavone as the acceptor via the transfer of glucose moiety from uridine-diphosphate-glucose (UDP-glucose) as the donor. The glycosylation reaction conditions were optimized and the time-course of the glycosylation of amentoflavone was analyzed. Amentoflavone was successfully converted into the corresponding glycosides by OleD GT-catalyzed batch glycosylation reaction.
