Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) is a popular medicinal plant containing more than 70 flavonoid and triterpenoid glycosides. Thus far, only a few reports are available on the glycosylation enzymes involved in their biosynthesis. In this work, we mined the transcriptome data of G. uralensis and discovered 43 candidate genes for O-glycosyltransferase (O-GT). Among them, 17 genes could be expressed in E. coli, and functions of the enzymes were analyzed by catalyzing eight native substrates. As a result, we characterized 11 O-GTs, including isoflavone 7-O-GTs, flavonol 3-O-GTs, and promiscuous O-GTs catalyzing flavones, chalcones, and triterpenoids. They could efficiently synthesize key licorice compounds such as liquiritin, isoliquiritin, ononin, and 3-O-β-d-glucuronosyl glycyrrhetinic acid. The diversity of O-GTs contributes to the biosynthesis of various glycosides in licorice. These enzymes could also be used as biocatalytic tools to synthesize other bioactive O-glycosides.
