Rat lung glutathione S - transferases

چکیده
Two immunologically distinct types of 22000-Mr subunits are present in rat lung glutathione S-transferases. One of these subunits is probably similar to Ya subunits of rat liver glutathione S-transferases, whereas the other subunit Ya' is immunologically distinct. Glutathione S-transferase II (pI7.2) of rat lung is a heterodimer (YaYa') of these subunits, and glutathione S-transferase VI (pI4.8) of rat lung is a homodimer of Ya' subunits. On hybridization in vitro of the subunits of glutathione S-transferase II of rat lung three active dimers having pl values 9.4, 7.2 and 4.8 are obtained. Immunological properties and substrate specificities indicate that the hybridized enzymes having pl 7.2 and 4.8 correspond to glutathione S-transferases II and VI of rat lung respectively.

Human glutathione S-transferases. Characterization of the anionic forms from lung and placenta.
Anionic glutathione S-transferases were purified from human lung and placenta. Chemical and immunochemical characterization, including polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, gave strong evidence that the anionic lung and placental enzymes are chemically similar, if not identical, proteins. The electrophoretic mobilities of both proteins were identical in conventional alkaline gels as well as in ge...

Two murine Theta-class glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), mGSTT1 and mGSTT2, have been cloned and sequenced. The murine cDNAs, together with the published sequences of the rat and human enzymes, were used to design oligonucleotide probes in order to determine the distribution of mRNA for these enzymes in the liver and lung of rat, mouse and human. The mRNA distribution was compared with that of...

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 کامل2-Propylthiouracil does not replace glutathione for the glutathione transferases.
2-Propylthiouracil has been reported as replacing glutathione as a substrate for the glutathione transferases of rat liver. This observation has been examined with several homogeneous glutathione transferases that were prepared from human and rat liver by different methods in three laboratories. No evidence was obtained for 2-propylthiouracil as a substrate for glutathione transferase in the se...
