Abstract:

In this study the purification of human basic and near-neutral liver, and human basic and acidic lung glutathione S-transferases (GSH S-T) was undertaken. Purification of the basic and near-neutral GSH S-T was achieved using a combination of affinity chromatography, chromatofocusing and immunoaffinity chromatography. Affinity and ion exchange chromatography were employed in the purification of the basic and acidic lung forms. The purified proteins had similar physicochemical characteristics to the GSH S-T purified by others. The binding of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) to the 3 classes of

Abstract:

The glutathione S-transferases are a group of enzymes which catalyse the conjugation of reduced glutathione with a variety of electrophilic molecules, and they are therefore thought to play a major role in drug biotransformation and the detoxification of xenobiotics. The cytosolic GSH S-transferase isoenzymes of rat, man and mouse have been assigned to three groups, Alpha, Mu and Pi, based on N-terrninal amino acid sequences, substrate specificities, immunological cross-reactivity and sensitivities to inhibitors. The kinetic mechanism of the GSH S-transferases is controversial, due to the obse

Abstract:

The glutathione transferases (GSTs) of maize have been the most studied GSTs in plants, however much is still not known about these enzymes. In the course of the current study six GST subunits (Zm GSTs I, II and III, which have been reported previously, and Zm GSTs V, VI and VII, which have not been previously reported) have been identified in the dimers Zm GST I-I, I-II, I-III, V-V, V-VI and V-VII. Maize GSTs are known to be important in herbicide detoxification and the purified maize enzymes were each found to have differing activities toward a number of herbicides, and also a range of other

Abstract:

Phosphoryl transfers are essential chemical reactions in key life processes, including energy production, signal transduction and protein synthesis. They are known for having extremely low reaction rates in aqueous solution, reaching the scale of millions of years. In order to make life possible, enzymes that catalyse phosphoryl transfer, phosphoryl transferases, have evolved to be tremendously proficient catalysts, increasing reaction rates to the millisecond timescale. Due to the nature of the electronic structure of phosphorus atoms, understanding how hydrolysis of phosphate esters occurs i

Abstract:

Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are enzymes able to conjugate GSH to a lot of toxic compounds thereby favoring their excretion. Recently, other protective roles of these enzymes have been discovered. In particular, it has been observed that a peculiar and strong interaction exists between some mammalian GSTs and an endogenous carrier of nitric oxide, the dinitrosyl-diglutathionyl iron complex (DNDGIC). This iron complex is a paramagnetic molecule with a characteristic EPR spectrum centered at g = 2.03, that is spontaneously formed when NO enters the cell. This complex is a strong irreversible

The glutathione S-transferases (GST) are a multi-gene family of dimeric proteins which catalyse the conjugation of glutathione to a wide range of electrophilic compounds. Three classes of mouse cytosolic GST have been isolated, alpha, mu and pi, comprising Ya-, Yb- and Yf-type subunits respectively. A marked sexual dimorphism in mouse hepatic GST has been observed. The YfYf GST is the most abundant form in the male, constituting approximately 70% of total hepatic GST content. By contrast, the Yf subunit represents only a minor form in the livers of female mice.

Elevation of glutathione S-transferases (GST) in tumour cells can be responsible for resistance to a variety of chemotherapeutic agents. It has been hypothesised that GSTs may be induced as part of a stress response, similar to that of the prokaryotic adaptive response. To further this investigation I studied the induction of GSTs in a variety of permanent and transient stress models.

They are composed of a well conserved glutathione binding site (G-site) and a promiscuous hydrophobic binding site (H-site). The 3D structure and ligand specificity has allowed the sub-classification of the multiple isoforms within the soluble GST superfamily.

Abstract:

Glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency (OMIM 229100) is an autosomal recessive disorder marked by clinical heterogeneity. The severe phenotype, first identified in patients of Japanese descent, includes high levels of formiminoglutamate (FIGLU) in the urine in response to histidine loading, megaloblastic anemia, and mental retardation. The mild phenotype is marked by high levels of FIGLU in the urine in the absence of histidine loading, mild developmental delay and no hematological abnormalities. The gene for human glutamate formiminotransferase-cyclodeaminase consists of 15 exons and is lo

Abstract:

The Compounds 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-glucosyl fluoride (1), 2,4-dinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-glucoside (2), 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-galactosyl fluoride (3) and 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-mannosyl fluoride (4) were all found to be potent covalent inhibitors of β-glucosidase from Alcaligenes faecalis (pABG5 β-glucosidase), which function through the accumulation of a stable glycosyl-enzyme intermediate. The mechanism of action for these inhibitors was investigated and found to be both specific and active site directed, involving a 1:1 stoichiometric formation of an enzyme inhibitor complex.
