PAH-metabolizing enzymes in whole mussels as biochemical tests for chemical pollution monitoring
Enzyme activities related to PAH metabolism, benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase (B(a)PH), epoxide hydrolase (EH) and glutathione S-transferase (GST), in subcellular preparations from whole mussels Mytilus edulis, were assayed during the GEEP Workshop as possible biochemical tests for pollution monitoring. No response was observed along a field pollution gradient in Langesundfjord, owing to the variabil...
متن کاملDrug metabolizing enzymes of mussels as bioindicators of chemical pollution.
The GSTs of M. edulis provide an easily assayed activity which would be expected to respond to changes in pollution status. The main GST and a related GSH-binding protein have been purified and biochemically characterized. The former protein is most similar to the Pi class while the latter is a catalytically inactive monomer which appears to be related to the Mu class. This enzyme activity has ...

متن کامل1-Hydroxypyrene–A Biochemical Marker for PAH Pollution Assessment of Aquatic Ecosystem
The aim of the present study was to assess aquatic contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), using the 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) content in fish bile as a biochemical marker. A total of 71 chub (Leuciscus cephalus L.) were collected from seven locations on the Svitava and Svratka rivers in and around the industrial city of Brno, Czech Republic. The levels of 1-OHP were determined b...
متن کاملRetinoid metabolizing enzymes in development.
It has long been known that retinoids are necessary for normal embryogenesis. To understand the role of retinoids in this process, it is important to elucidate the retinoid signalling pathway. The retinoid signal transduction pathway consists of three major components: (i) the metabolism of biologically active retinoids, (ii) nuclear receptors which bind to and are activated by retinoids, and (...
