Binding of heme by glutathione S-transferase: a possible role of the erythrocyte enzyme.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human erythrocyte glutathione S-transferase activity is inhibited, probably competitively, by hemin with a Ki of 10(-7) M. It is postulated that glutathione S-transferase functions physiologically as a hemin-binding and/or transport protein in developing erythroid cells.

Production and Evaluation of Polyclonal Rabbit Anti-Human p53 Antibody Using Bacterially Expressed Glutathione S-transferase-p53 fusion protein
p53 is a key tumor suppressor gene that is targeted for inactivation during human tumorigenesis. In this study, we produced and characterized polyclonal antihuman p53 antibody. The cDNA encoding the completehuman p53 protein was cloned into pGEX-4T-1 and expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with Schistosoma japonicum glutathione S-transferase (GST). The rabbits were immunized...

Background: Pi-GST and Mu-GST are subclasses of glutathione S-transferase that present on human sperm surface and play an important role against oxidative stress. Therefore, any defects in the enzyme activity may be associated with male infertility.In this study the polymorphisms of GSTM1 and GSTP1 in association with enzyme activity and sperm parameters were studied. Methods: This case-contro...

Introduction: The fate of xenobiotics that is present, increasing day by day. The increasing fates altered or inhibit the metabolic activities like detoxification and biotransformation. Methods: The present study highlights this slow biotransformation and detoxification on the basis of specific enzymes which have a say in assessment of mercuric chloride toxicity and modulation by Panax ginse...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of the Multiple Glutathione &Transferases from Human Liver
Thirteen forms of glutathione S-transferase were isolated from human liver in high yields by glutathione-affinity chromatography and chromatofocusing. Apparent isoelectric points ranged from 4.9 to 8.9 and included neutral forms. All 13 forms appeared to be identical immunochemically in a quantitative enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. These forms were immunochemically distinct from the major ac...
متن کاملIdentification of a high affinity leukotriene C4-binding protein in rat liver cytosol as glutathione S-transferase.
A soluble high affinity binding unit for leukotriene (LT) C4 in the high speed supernatant of rat liver homogenate was characterized at 4 degrees C as having a single type of saturable affinity site with a dissociation constant of 0.77 +/- 0.27 nM (mean +/- S.E., n = 5). The binding activity was identified as the liver cytosolic subunit 1 (Ya) of glutathione S-transferase, commonly known as lig...
