CSDB_GT, a curated glycosyltransferase database with close-to-full coverage on three most studied nonanimal species.

ABSTRACT

We report the accomplishment of the first stage of the development of a novel manually curated database on glycosyltransferase (GT) activities, CSDB_GT. CSDB_GT (http//csdb.glycoscience.ru/gt.html) has been supplemented with GT activities from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Now it provides the close-to-complete coverage on experimentally confirmed GTs from the three most studied model organisms from the three kingdoms plantae (Arabidopsis thaliana, ca. 930 activities), bacteria (Escherichia coli, ca. 820 activities) and fungi (S. cerevisiae, ca. 270 activities).
