Binding and glutathione conjugation of porphyrinogens by plant glutathione transferases.
Overexpression in Escherichia coli of a tau (U) class glutathione transferase (GST) from maize (Zea mays L.), termed ZmGSTU1, caused a reduction in heme levels and an accumulation of porphyrin precursors. This disruption was highly specific, with the expression of the closely related ZmGSTU2 or other maize GSTs having little effect. Expression in E. coli of a series of chimeric ZmGSTU1/ZmGSTU2 ...
متن کاملClass-Pi of Glutathione S-Transferases
Class-Pi of glutathione s-transferases (GST-Pi) is the specific form of GSTs that are known to participate particularly in the mechanisms of resistance to drugs and carcinogens. This class of the enzyme is referred to as class-P or class-Pi or class π. The accepted terminology in this review article is class-Pi. In this article following a brief description of identified molecular forms of GSTs...
متن کاملGlutathione conjugation of chlorambucil: measurement and modulation by plant polyphenols.
Chlorambucil (CMB), an anticancer drug, was cytotoxic at concentrations of 5-20 microM to human colon adenocarcinoma cells. It inhibited [14C]thymidine uptake in a dose-dependent manner. Both effects were potentiated by simultaneous exposure of the cells to 10 microM plant polyphenols. In an attempt to explain the possible mechanism of action of the polyphenols in relation to these observations...
متن کاملRegulation of Signal Transduction by Glutathione Transferases
Glutathione transferases (GST) are essentially known as enzymes that catalyse the conjugation of glutathione to various electrophilic compounds such as chemical carcinogens, environmental pollutants, and antitumor agents. However, this protein family is also involved in the metabolism of endogenous compounds which play critical roles in the regulation of signaling pathways. For example, the lip...
متن کاملCytosolic Glutathione Busulfan-Glutathione Conjugation Catalyzed by Human Liver
We have examined the catalytic activity of glutathione .S'-transferases (GST) in the conjugation of busulfan with glutathione (GSH) in human liver cytosol. purified human liver GST. and cDNA-expressed GST-al-1. Human liver microsomes and cytosol were incubated with 40 /IM busulfan and 1 m\i (.SII. Cytosol catalyzed the formation of the GSH-husulfan tetrahydrothiophenium ion i III I ' i in a con...
