Purification and Properties of Hamster Liver Ligandins, Glutathione S-Transferases1

چکیده
than do human and rat liver, and hamster-derived cells in culture express more enzyme than do lines derived from tissues of other animals (18). This report describes the purification of 2 major glutathione S-transferase forms from hamster liver and a comparison of the properties of the forms with those from human and rat liver. The data suggest that certain fundamental differences between the hamster transferases and those of other species may account for alterations in enzyme activities towards common substrates.

Purification and properties of hamster liver ligandins, glutathione S-transferases.
Glutathione S-transferases have been purified to homogeneity from Chinese hamster liver. Three enzyme forms were separated and designated Forms I, II, and III in order of their elution from carboxymethylcellulose columns. The forms exhibit close physical similarities to glutathione S-transferases B (ligandin) of rat liver and epsilon of humam liver. However, enzyme kinetic analysis indicates th...
متن کاملAntioxidant properties and Glutathione S-transferases inhibitory activity of Alchornea cordifolia leaf extract in Acetaminophen toxicity
Paracetamol (acetaminophen, PCM) is a widely used over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic drug. Intake of a large dose of PCM may result in severe hepatic necrosis. Oxidative stress is mediated by oxidative capacities of the PCM metabolite (N-acetyl-para-benzo quinoneimine, NAPQI), which covalently binds to proteins and other macromolecules to cause cellular damage. At low doses, NAPQI is ...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferase Yc cDNA from Syrian hamster kidney.
A cDNA encoding alpha-class glutathione S-transferase Yc (GSTYc) has been isolated from a Syrian hamster kidney library, and its nucleotide sequence (968 bp) has been determined. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed a high level of identity between Syrian hamster GSTYc, rat GST Yc1 and Yc2 and mouse GSTYc. Northern-blot experiments demonstrated that Syrian hamster GSTYc expressi...
متن کاملPurification, molecular cloning, and characterization of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) from pigmented Vitis vinifera L. cell suspension cultures as putative anthocyanin transport proteins
The ligandin activity of specific glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) is necessary for the transport of anthocyanins from the cytosol to the plant vacuole. Five GSTs were purified from Vitis vinifera L. cv. Gamay Fréaux cell suspension cultures by glutathione affinity chromatography. These proteins underwent Edman sequencing and mass spectrometry fingerprinting, with the resultant fragments align...

The purification of homogeneous glutathione S-transferases B and C from rat liver is described. Kinetic and physical properties of these enzymes are compared with those of homogeneous transferases A and E. The letter designations for the transferases are based on the reverse order of elution from carboxymethylcellulose, the purification step in which the transferases are separated from each oth...
