    Abstract Uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are known for promiscuity towards sugar acceptors, a valuable characteristic for host plants but not desirable for heterologous biosynthesis. UGTs characterized for the O-glycosylation of isoflavonoids have shown a variable efficiency, substrate preference, and OH site specificity. Thus, 22 UGTs with reported isoflavonoid O-glycosylation activity were analyzed and ranked for OH site specificity and catalysis efficiency. Multiple-sequence alignment (MSA) showed a 33.2% pairwise identity and 4.5% identical sites among selected UGTs. MSA and phylogenetic analysis highlighted a comparatively higher amino acid substitution rate in the N-terminal domain that likely led to a higher specificity for isoflavonoids. Based on the docking score, OH site specificity, and physical and chemical features of active sites, selected UGTs were divided into three groups. A significantly high pairwise identity (67.4%) and identical sites (31.7%) were seen for group 1 UGTs. The structural and chemical composition of active sites highlighted key amino acids that likely define substrate preference, OH site specificity, and glycosylation efficiency towards selected (iso)flavonoids. In conclusion, physical and chemical parameters of active sites likely control the position-specific glycosylation of isoflavonoids. The present study will help the heterologous biosynthesis of glycosylated isoflavonoids and protein engineering efforts to improve the substrate and site specificity of UGTs.

    Abstract The isoflavonoid derivatives, pterocarpans and coumestans, are explored for multiple clinical applications as osteo-regenerative, neuroprotective and anti-cancer agents. The use of plant-based systems to produce isoflavonoid derivatives is limited due to cost, scalability, and sustainability constraints. Microbial cell factories overcome these limitations in which model organisms such as

    Abstract Purpose: This research focused on the identification of herbal compounds as potential anti-cancer drugs, especially for breast cancer, that involved the recognition of Notch downstream targets NOTCH proteins (1-4) specifically expressed in breast tumours as biomarkers for prognosis, along with P53 tumour antigens, that were used as comparisons to check the sensitivity of the herbal bio-compounds.
    Methods: After investigating phytochemical candidates, we employed an approach for computer-aided drug design and analysis to find strong breast cancer inhibitors. The present study utilized in silico analyses and protein docking techniques to characterize and rank selected bio-compounds for their efficiency in oncogenic inhibition for use in precise carcinomic cell growth control.
    Results: Several of the identified phytocompounds found in herbs followed Lipinski's Rule of Five and could be further investigated as potential medicinal molecules. Based on the Vina score obtained after the docking process, the active compound Epigallocatechin gallate in green tea with NOTCH (1-4) and P53 proteins showed promising results for future drug repurposing. The stiffness and binding stability of green tea pharmacological complexes were further elucidated by the molecular dynamic simulations carried out for the highest scoring phytochemical ligand complex.
    Conclusion: The target-ligand complex of green tea active compound Epigallocatechin gallate with NOTCH (1-4) had the potential to become potent anti-breast cancer therapeutic candidates following further research involving wet-lab experiments.

    Abstract Isoflavonoid synthase (IFS) is a critical enzyme for the biosynthesis of over 2400 isoflavonoids. Isoflavonoids are an important class of plant secondary metabolites that have a range of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical properties. With growing interest in isoflavonoids from both research and industrial perspectives, efforts are being forwarded to enhance isoflavonoid production in-planta and ex-planta; therefore, in-silico analysis and characterisation of available IFS protein sequences are needed. The present study is the first-ever attempt toward phylogenetic analysis and protein modelling of available IFS protein sequences. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that IFS amino acid sequences have 86.4% pairwise identity and 26.5% identical sites, and the sequences were grouped into six different clades. The presence of a β-hairpin and extra loop at catalytic sites of
