The use of abscisic acid analogues to analyse the substrate selectivity of UGT71B6, a UDP‐glycosyltransferase of <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study analyses the activity of an Arabidopsis thaliana UDP-glycosyltransferase, UGT71B6 (71B6), towards abscisic acid (ABA) and its structural analogues. The enzyme preferentially glucosylated ABA and not its catabolites. The requirement for a specific chiral configuration of (+)-ABA was demonstrated through the use of analogues with the chiral centre changed or removed. The enzyme was able to accommodate extra bulk around the double bond of the ABA ring but not alterations to the 8'- and 9'-methyl groups. Interestingly, the ketone of ABA was not required for glucosylation. Bioactive analogues, resistant to 8'-hydroxylation, were also poor substrates for conjugation by UGT71B6. This suggests the compounds may be resistant to both pathways of ABA inactivation and may, therefore, prove to be useful agrochemicals for field applications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
