Tissue distribution of rat glutathione transferase subunit 7, a hepatoma marker.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyadenylated RNA isolated from NN-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene-induced rat hepatoma was used to prepare a cDNA library in lambda gt10. Full-length clones complementary to mRNA coding for glutathione transferase subunit 7 were isolated and one of these clones (pGSTr7) was fully characterized. In Northern blot analysis, mRNA hybridizing to 32P-labelled pGSTr7 was found in poly(A)-containing RNA isolated from seven normal rat tissues but not from testis and liver. A similar hybridizing mRNA species was also detected in human placental mRNA. The same probe, used in a Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA, suggests the presence of a multigene family in the rat.

A polypeptide of Mr 26,000 and pI 6.7 that was markedly increased in rat livers bearing hyperplastic nodules (HNs) induced by chemical carcinogens was identified immunochemically as the subunit of neutral glutathione (GSH) transferase (GSHTase; RX:glutathione R-transferase, EC 2.5.1.18; also called GSH S-transferase) purified from placenta (GSHTase-P) and was demonstrated immunohistochemically ...
متن کاملCloning and heterologous expression of cDNA encoding class alpha rat glutathione transferase 8-8, an enzyme with high catalytic activity towards genotoxic alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
A cDNA clone, lambda GTRA8, encoding rat glutathione transferase subunit 8 has been isolated from a lambda gt10 rat hepatoma cDNA library. The previously known amino acid sequence of the enzyme was used to design primers for a polymerase chain reaction that yielded a 0.3 kb DNA fragment from the hepatoma library. The 0.3 kb fragment was used as a probe for screening and a 0.9 kb cDNA clone cont...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical distribution of isoenzymes of glutathione transferase in adult rat adrenal gland before and after hypophysectomy.
The distribution of glutathione transferase subunits 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 in the different cells of the female and male rat adrenal and the effects of hypophysectomy on these isoenzymes were studied using immunohistochemical methods. All these glutathione transferase subunits, with the exception of subunit 1, were present in the adrenal. Each subunit showed, however, its own characteristic distr...

We have used a rat glutathione S-transferase P (GST-P) complementary DNA as a probe to screen a human placenta complementary DNA library constructed in the lambda gt11 vector. One of the positive clones contained the complete coding region (630 base pair) and the entire 3'-noncoding region (78 base pair) of the putative human glutathione S-transferase pi (GST-pi) subunit mRNA. From the nucleoti...

A monoclonal antibody against rat liver glutathione S-transferase B, which consists of subunits Ya (Mr 27,000) and Yc (Mr 29,500), was produced in a mouse hybridoma system. The monoclonal antibody, BE6Yc1, was of the immunoglobulin G1 class and specifically recognized glutathione S-transferase B showing no cross-reactivity against the dimeric form of Ya, ligandin, in enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
