Determination of Glutathione S-Transferase e2 Region (GSTe2) in DDT Susceptible and Resistant Anopheles stephensi Populations: Significance and Application of Nucleotide and Amino Acid Comparison
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a major family of detoxification enzymes which possess a wide range of substrate specificities. Interest in insect GSTs has primarily focused on their role in insecticide resistance. In this study, following World Health Organization (WHO) routine susceptibility test, DNA was extracted from specimens of Anopheles stephensi collected from the Kazeroon distri...
متن کاملA novel amphibian Pi-class glutathione transferase isoenzyme from Xenopus laevis: importance of phenylalanine 111 in the H-site.
Screening of a liver tumour cDNA library from Xenopus laevis resulted in the isolation of a full-length cDNA clone encoding a novel Pi-class amphibian glutathione transferase (GST) isoenzyme (designated as XlGSTP1-1). The gene encodes a protein of 212 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 24428 Da. The product of the gene has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli and characterized. X...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of the major hepatic glutathione S-transferase from a marine teleost flaffish, the plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), with structural similarities to plant, insect and mammalian Theta class isoenzymes
AcDNA clone (PLGSTA) of 896 bp, containing an open reading frame encoding a 225-amino-acid polypeptide of M, 25 723, was isolated from a cDNA library constructed in Agtl 1 from the liver of a marine teleost flatfish, the plaice (Pleuronectes platessa). The identification of this cDNA as that coding for the subunit of the major cytosolic glutathione S-transferase of plaice liver, GST-A, was supp...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel glutathione S-transferase isoenzyme from mouse lung and liver having structural similarity to rat glutathione S-transferase 8-8.
In mouse lung, glutathione S-transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) isoenzymes belonging to the three major known classes, Alpha, Mu and Pi, have been previously characterized, along with an isoenzyme (pI 5.7) that could not be identified with the Alpha, Mu or Pi classes of GSTs. In the present studies we have demonstrated that this isoenzyme is also expressed in liver. Its structural, kinetic, and imm...
متن کاملExpression of an enzymatically active Yb3 glutathione S-transferase in Escherichia coli and identification of its natural form in rat brain.
Glutathione S-transferases containing Yb3 subunits are relatively uncommon forms that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner and have not been identified unequivocally or characterized. A cDNA clone containing the entire coding sequence of Yb3 glutathione S-transferase mRNA was incorporated into a pIN-III expression vector used to transform Escherichia coli. A fusion Yb3-protein containing 1...
