Mouse Liver Glutathione S-Transferases
Three major forms of cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (designated F1, F2, and F3 transferases according to increasing isoelectric points) were purified to homogeneity from liver of DBA/2J mice, primarily by CM-cellulose and hydroxylapatite chromatography. The purified enzymes were shown to have specific activities of 104, 281, and 143 units/mg, respectively, when assayed with 1 m~ each of l-...
متن کاملRat lung glutathione S - transferases
Two immunologically distinct types of 22000-Mr subunits are present in rat lung glutathione S-transferases. One of these subunits is probably similar to Ya subunits of rat liver glutathione S-transferases, whereas the other subunit Ya' is immunologically distinct. Glutathione S-transferase II (pI7.2) of rat lung is a heterodimer (YaYa') of these subunits, and glutathione S-transferase VI (pI4.8...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of Escherichia coli by dichloromethane in cells expressing dichloromethane dehalogenase/glutathione S-transferase.
Dichloromethane (DCM) dehalogenase converts DCM to formaldehyde via the formation of glutathione metabolites and generates 2 mol HCl per mol DCM metabolized. Growth of Escherichia coli expressing DCM dehalogenase was immediately and severely inhibited during conversion of 0.3 mM DCM. Intracellular pH (pH(i)) rapidly decreased and chloride ions were steadily released into the medium. Bacterial g...
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 S-transferases in human liver cancer.
An immunohistochemical study of glutathione S-transferase (GST) expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma is described. Unlike most animal models of hepatic malignancy pi class GST was not consistently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. This tumour type either predominantly expressed alpha class GST or failed to express GST. By contrast, cholangiocarcinoma always exp...
