Activation of rat liver microsomal glutathione S-transferase by reduced oxygen species.
The effect of enzymatically generated reduced oxygen metabolites on the activity of hepatic microsomal glutathione S-transferase activity was studied to explore possible physiological regulatory mechanisms of the enzyme. Noradrenaline and the microsomal cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system were used to generate reduced oxygen species. When noradrenaline (greater than 0.1 mM) was incu...
متن کاملActivation of rat liver microsomal glutathione transferase by limited proteolysis.
The activity of rat liver microsomal glutathione transferase is increased by limited tryptic proteolysis; the membrane-bound and purified forms of the enzyme are activated about 5- and 10-fold respectively. The cleavage sites that correlate with this activation were determined by amino acid sequence analysis to be located after Lys-4 and Lys-41. Differences in the relative extent of cleavage at...
متن کاملActivation of microsomal glutathione s-transferase by peroxynitrite.
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) toxicity is associated with protein oxidation and/or tyrosine nitration, usually resulting in inhibition of enzyme activity. We examined the effect of ONOO- on the activity of purified rat liver microsomal glutathione S-transferase (GST) and found that the activity of reduced glutathione (GSH)-free enzyme was increased 4- to 5-fold by 2 mM ONOO-; only 15% of this increased...
متن کاملImmunolocalization of microsomal glutathione S-transferase in rat tissues.
Distribution of microsomal glutathione transferase (mGST) protein in rat tissues was investigated by immunohistochemistry. Studies on the localization of mGST are of interest because of its involvement in the detoxication and bioactivation of xenobiotics. mGST antigen was detected in the cytoplasm of some hepatocytes and in bile ducts. In kidney, focal staining of mGST was observed in distal tu...
متن کاملActivation of microsomal glutathione S-transferase in tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced oxidative stress of isolated rat liver.
The activation of microsomal glutathione S-transferase in oxidative stress was investigated by perfusing isolated rat liver with 1 mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH). When the isolated liver was perfused with t-BuOOH for 7 min and 10 min, microsomal, but not cytosolic, glutathione S-transferase activity was increased 1.3-fold and 1.7-fold, respectively, with a concomitant decrease in glutath...
