Drosophila glutathione S-transferase 1-1 shares a region of sequence homology with the maize glutathione S-transferase III.
We have characterized a Drosophila glutathione S-transferase (RX:glutathione R-transferase, EC 2.5.1.18) cDNA encoding a protein of 209 amino acids. The cDNA was expressed in Escherichia coli harboring the expression plasmid construct pGTDml-KK. The active enzyme, designated as Drosophila glutathione S-transferase 1-1, had a specific activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene comparable to tha...
متن کاملEstrogen receptor 1, glutathione S-transferase P1, glutathione S-transferase M1, and glutathione S-transferase T1 genes with dysmenorrhea in Korean female adolescents.
BACKGROUND Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecologic complaint among adolescent females. We investigated the association between genetic polymorphisms and dysmenorrhea. METHODS A total of 202 postmenarcheal Korean female adolescents 16-17 yr old participated in this study. Genotyping for glutathione S-transferase mu 1 (GSTM1), glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1), glutathione S-transfe...
متن کاملA ligand function of glutathione S-transferase.
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are ubiquitous enzymes and abundant in plants. They are intimately involved in plant metabolism and stress defense related to reactive oxygen species. Our project assigned particular reactions including novel ones to certain GST-isoforms. Transformed E. coli was used to express recombinant GST-isoforms from maize. An N-terminal His tag allowed their purificatio...
متن کاملGenetic Polymorphism of the Glutathione S-Transferase M1 and Development of Breast Cancer
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are encoded by a superfamily of genes and play a role in the detoxification of potential carcinogens. The human GSTs are divided into four classes: alpha, mu, pi and theta. Previous studies indicated that the absence of the Glutathione S-Transferase M1 (GSTM1) protein correlated with an increased risk of developing some types of cancers. Association between spe...
متن کاملReversible Conjugation of Ethacrynic Acid with Glutathione and Human Glutathione S-Transferase PI-1
The reversibility of the conjugation reaction of the diuretic drug ethacrynic acid (EA), an a,~-unsaturated ketone, with glutathione and glutathione S-transferase PI-1 (GST PI-I) has been studied. When the glutathione conjugate of EA was incubated with a 5-fold molar excess of Nacetyi-L-cysteine or GST PI-I, a time-dependent transfer of EA to N-acetyI-L-cysteine or GST PI-1 was observed. With i...
