promiscuity of the new phenolic O‐glycosyltransferase was explored by using phenols from Traditional Chinese Medicinal herbs as substrates. MhGT1 exhibited robust capabilities for the regio‐ and stereospecific O‐glycosylation of 72 structurally diverse drug‐like scaffolds and sterols with uridine diphosphate (UDP) glucose as a sugar donor. Unprecedentedly, MhGT1 showed higher regiospecificities and activities

increase the structural diversity and biological activity of natural products. Up to date, only two pterocarpan PTs have been identified from plants. In this study, a new pterocarpan prenyltransferase gene, designated as PcM4DT, was identified fromPsoraleacorylifolia. The deduced polypeptide is predicted to be a membrane-bound protein with eight transmembrane regions. Functional characterization of
