Purification and characterization of S-phenacylglutathione reductase from rat liver.

چکیده
An enzyme catalyzing the reduction of S-(2,4-dichlorophenacyl)glutathione to 2',4'-dichloroacetophenone was purified to apparent homogeneity by ion exchange, gel filtration, and hydroxylapatite chromatography from rat hepatic cytosol. The molecular weight was 30,000-37,000. The enzyme is distinct from the glutathione S-transferases, mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase, and glyoxalase I. Substrate specificity studies showed that S-phenacylglutathiones are the preferred first substrates and that several thiols (glutathione, mercaptoethanol, L-cysteine, or cysteamine) serve as reducing substrates. The enzyme serves to convert toxic alpha-haloketones, which react rapidly and nonenzymatically with glutathione, to nontoxic alkyl ketones.

A protein has been purified from rat liver cytosol which promoted GSH-responsive iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase activities in rat kidney microsomes. The factor behaved as a basic protein with an Mr of 11,000. It was active as a GSH-disulfide transhydrogenase with beta-hydroxyethyl disulfide as an acceptor and was also active in stimulating calf thymus ribonucleotide reductase with one-third the po...

In hepatomas, the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, the rate-controlling enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, is not normally suppressed by cholesterol. To examine the biochemical mechanism of this loss of feedback control of cholesterol synthesis, a comparison was made of the properties of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase after solubilization and partia...
