Xanthones are compounds with a diphenyl ether skeleton mainly found in plants and often glycosylated at carbon atoms. Although many C‐glycosyltransferases (CGTs) participating in flavone C‐glycosylation have been identified, MiCGT from Mangifera indica, adding sugar to an open‐chain benzophenone skeleton, is the only identified xanthone biosynthesis‐related CGT. Here, we identified two CGTs from Hypericum perforatum that add sugar to the closed‐ring xanthone, but not benzophenone. These CGTs catalyze sugar transfer to the C‐4 position of norathyriol (1,3,6,7‐tetrahydroxyxanthone) to form isomangiferin (1,3,6,7‐tetrahydroxyxanthone 4‐C‐glucoside), a major xanthone C‐glucoside. This is the first study to report CGTs that mediate the direct C‐glycosylation of xanthone.
