Reduction of MTT by glutathione S-transferase.
The reduction of the tetrazolium salt 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) to a blue formazan product is widely used for assaying cell survival and proliferation. The reduction reaction is catalyzed by dehydrogenases localized in the mitochondria of viable cells. As part of an analysis of the ability of glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes to protect cells from...
متن کاملActivation of microsomal glutathione s-transferase by peroxynitrite.
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) toxicity is associated with protein oxidation and/or tyrosine nitration, usually resulting in inhibition of enzyme activity. We examined the effect of ONOO- on the activity of purified rat liver microsomal glutathione S-transferase (GST) and found that the activity of reduced glutathione (GSH)-free enzyme was increased 4- to 5-fold by 2 mM ONOO-; only 15% of this increased...
متن کاملInhibition of glutathione S-transferase by bile acids.
The effects of bile acids on the detoxification of compounds by glutathione conjugation have been investigated. Bile acids were found to inhibit the total soluble-fraction glutathione S-transferase activity from rat liver, as assayed with four different acceptor substrates. Dihydroxy bile acids were more inhibitory than trihydroxy bile acids, and conjugated bile acids were generally less inhibi...

doxorubicin8). Inhibitors of this enzyme, ethacrynic acid and piriprost are already known and their potential therapeutic utility in combination with alkylating agents has been suggested by Tew and his colleagues9). Our group has been screening for novel inhibitors of glutathione S-transferase from microbial origin and we recently isolated tryptophandehydrobutyrine diketopiperazine10) (TDD) and...
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...
