Hepatic glutathione S-transferases from lamprey (Petromyzom marinus): purification and characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glutathione S-transferases constitute a very important family of biotransformation enzymes, which catalyse the conjugation of glutathione to a broad spectrum of xenobiotics. In this study, cytosolic glutathione S-transferases enzymes were purified from lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) liver, using an affinity chromatography method. Enzymatic activity was determined towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, ethacrynic acid and 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene. The application of a HPLC system associated to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry allowed the identification of three different subunits, with Mrs between 22,300 and 25,300 Da. The one with the low Mrs was the main form, with a retention time of 29.5 min, a pi-related class isoenzyme. 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

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 کاملPurification and physical characterization of glutathione S-transferase K
A novel hepatic enzyme, glutathione S-transferase K, is described that, unlike previously characterized transferases, possesses little affinity for S-hexylglutathione-Sepharose 6B but can be isolated because it binds to a glutathione affinity matrix. A purification scheme for this new enzyme was devised, with the use of DEAE-cellulose, S-hexylglutathione-Sepharose 6B, glutathione-Sepharose 6B a...

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. Substrat...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of glutathione S-transferases from two syrphid flies (Syrphus ribesii and Myathropa florea)
Glutathione S-transferases (GST) play an important role in the detoxification of many substances including organic pollutants and plant secondary metabolites. We compared the GST of two syrphid species, the aphidophagous Syrphus ribesii and the saprophagous Myathropa florea to assess the relation between feeding type and GST patterns. Differences between the GST of the hoverfly species were obs...
متن کاملThe purification of the hepatic glutathione S-transferases of rainbow trout by glutathione affinity chromatography alters their isoelectric behaviour.
1. The basic glutathione S-transferases from rainbow-trout liver were more stable than the acidic ones. 2. The apparent pI values of these enzymes were lowered when they were eluted from a glutathione affinity column by reduced glutathione at pH 8.85. 3. The pI effect was not a function of the high pH alone, was diminished under conditions less favourable to glutathione oxidation, and did not o...
