Piscine UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1B.
Glucuronidation is an important detoxification pathway for organic pollutants in fish. We report here the isolation and characterisation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) genes from the closely related marine flatfish, plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and flounder (Platichthys flesus). The deduced amino acid sequences share greater similarity with mammalian UGT1 family genes than UGT2 genes (...
متن کاملThe first aspartic acid of the DQxD motif for human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A10 interacts with UDP-glucuronic acid during catalysis.
All UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes (UGTs) share a common cofactor, UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcUA). The binding site for UDP-GlcUA is localized to the C-terminal domain of UGTs on the basis of amino acid sequence homology analysis and crystal structures of glycosyltransferases, including the C-terminal domain of human UGT2B7. We hypothesized that the (393)DQMDNAK(399) region of human UGT1A...
متن کاملA critical amino acid residue, asp446, in UDP-glucuronosyltransferase.
An amino acid residue, Asp446, was found to be essential for the enzymic activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT). We obtained a rat phenol UGT (UGT1*06) cDNA (named Ysh) from male rat liver by reverse-transcription (RT)-PCR using pfu polymerase. A mutant Ysh having two different bases, A1337G and G1384A (named Ysh A1337GC1384A), that result in two amino acid substitutions, D446G and V462M...
متن کاملInteraction of periodate-oxidized UDP-glucuronic acid with recombinant human liver UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A6.
Sodium periodate reacts with UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcUA) to generate a reactive derivative [periodate-oxidized UDP-GlcUA (o-UDP-GlcUA)]. The ability of this analog of UDP-GlcUA to inactivate and label the human recombinant UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) UGT1A6 via the UDP-GlcUA binding site was investigated. At an o-UDP-GlcUA concentration of 20 mM, the enzymatic activity of UGT1A6 was t...
متن کاملPurification and properties of microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase from rat liver.
p-Nitrophenol conjugating activity associated with liver microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) was purified 150- to 200-fold from cell-free homogenates. The purification scheme included solubilization with the nonionic detergent Lubrol WX, anion exchange chromatography at pH 6.0 and 7.5, and affinity chromatography with UDP-hexanolamine Sepharose 4B. The enzyme purified as a phos...
