Binding of glutathione and an inhibitor to microsomal glutathione transferase.
Microsomal glutathione transferase is an abundant liver protein that can be activated by thiol reagents. It is not known whether the activation is associated with changed binding properties of the enzyme. Therefore the binding of GSH and an inhibitor to rat liver microsomal glutathione transferase was studied by use of equilibrium dialysis and equilibrium partition in a two-phase system. The ra...
متن کاملLigand Binding and Mechanism of Microsomal Glutathione Transferase 1
The homo-trimeric, membrane bound Microsomal Glutathione Transferase 1 (MGST1, EC. 2.5.1.18) belongs functionally to both the glutathione transferase family (GST) and the Membrane Associated Proteins in Eicosanoid and Glutathione Metabolism (MAPEG) superfamily. It is found in high amount in the liver, where it is localised to the endoplasmatic reticulum and the outer membrane of mitochondria. M...
متن کاملStudies of endogenous inhibitors of microsomal glutathione S-transferase.
Glutathione S-transferase is present in rat liver microsomal fraction, but its activity is low relative to the transferase activity present in the soluble fraction of the hepatocyte. We have found, however, that the activity of microsomal glutathione S-transferase is increased 5-fold after treatment with small unilamellar vesicles made from phosphatidylcholine. The increase in activity is due t...
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...
