Limonoid glucosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of bitter limonoid into non-bitter limonoid glucoside while retaining the health benefit of limonoids in the juice. The immobilization of this enzyme in a column can solve the juice bitterness problem

modifies histidine residues and inactivates the enzyme, pseudo first order kinetics. When the histidine modification is reversed by hydroxylamine treatment, 79% of the activity is restored

Citrus maxima x Citrus paradisi

additional information

inactivation of the enzyme following modification of carboxyl and imidazole moieties is a consequence of a loss in substrate binding and catalysis in the glucosyltransfer reaction. No inhibition by serine modifiying diisopropyl fluorophosphate and cysteine modifying 4-chloromercuribenzoate and iodoacetamide

N-bromosuccinimide

modifies tryptophan residues and inactivates the enzyme, loss of LGTase activity by NBS treatment is partially protected by pre-incubating the enzyme with excess limonin

at an acidic pH the D-ring of the substrate that should be in an open form is closed and glycosylation does not occur. The decrease in activity at acidic pH also indicates that an essential residue participates in catalytic functioning while in the unprotonated state
