Genetic 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 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 کاملThermodynamic analysis of the binding of glutathione and S-methyl glutathione to glutathione S-transferase over a range of temperatures
The glutathione transferases (EC 2.5.1.18) (GSTs) are a family of enzymes involved in the mechanism of cellular detoxification. They catalyze the nucleophilic attack of glutathione on the electrophilic centre of a number of toxic compounds. The cytosolic enzymes have two active sites per dimmer which behave independently of one another. The homodimeric (26 kDa per subunit) glutathione S-transfe...
متن کاملAntenna-Specific Glutathione S-Transferase in Male Silkmoth Bombyx mori
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are multifunctional enzymes that are widely distributed in different species. GSTs detoxify exogenous and endogenous substances by conjugation to reduced glutathione. We characterized BmGSTD4, an antenna-specific GST, in male silkmoths. The full-length mRNA of Bmgstd4 was cloned by RACE-PCR and contained an open reading frame of 738 bp encoding a 245 amino acid...
متن کاملStructures of a putative ζ-class glutathione S-transferase from the pathogenic fungus Coccidioides immitis
Coccidioides immitis is a pathogenic fungus populating the southwestern United States and is a causative agent of coccidioidomycosis, sometimes referred to as Valley Fever. Although the genome of this fungus has been sequenced, many operons are not properly annotated. Crystal structures are presented for a putative uncharacterized protein that shares sequence similarity with ζ-class glutathione...
