Project description:The common marmoset Callithrix jacchus encodes two glutathione transferase (GST) enzymes with ketosteroid double-bond isomerase activity. The most active enzyme is CjaGST A3-3 showing a specific activity with 5-androsten-3,17-dione (Δ5-AD) of 62.1 ± 1.8 μmol min-1 mg-1, and a kcat value of 261 ± 49 s-1. The second ketosteroid isomerase CjaGST A1-1 has a 30-fold lower specific activity with Δ5-AD and a 37-fold lower kcat value. Thus, the marmoset CjaGST A3-3 would be the main contributor to the biosynthesis of the steroid hormones testosterone and progesterone, like the human ortholog HsaGST A3-3. Two residues differ in the H-site of the 91.4% sequence identical CjaGST A1-1 and CjaGST A3-3, and modeling of the structures suggests that the bulky phenyl ring of Phe111 in CjaGST A1-1 causes steric hindrance in the binding of the steroid substrate. Tributyltin acetate (IC50=0.16 ± 0.004 μM) and ethacrynic acid (IC50=3.3 ± 0.2 μM) were found to be potent inhibitors of CjaGST A3-3, as previously demonstrated with the human and equine orthologs.

Project description:Isoproteins of delta 3,delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (EC 5.3.3.8), an auxiliary enzyme in the beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids having double bonds at odd-numbered positions, were studied in livers of control and clofibrate-treated rats. When liver extracts were applied to a hydroxyapatite column at pH 7.0, the previously characterized peroxisomal trifunctional hydratase-dehydrogenase-isomerase enzyme and the mitochondrial isomerase, which shows a preference for short-chain substrates, were eluted almost in parallel. In addition to these activities, a separate isomerase was observed to elute at a lower potassium phosphate concentration in the gradient. Experiments with extracts of purified mitochondria and peroxisomes demonstrated the mitochondrial origin of this third activity. Studies on the kinetic properties of the third isomerase showed that it has a preference for C10-C12 substrates. An Mr of 200,000 was obtained for the native protein by gel-filtration chromatography. Antibodies to mitochondrial short-chain isomerase and peroxisomal trifunctional enzyme did not recognize this novel mitochondrial isoenzyme. The immunological non-cross-reactivity can be interpreted as suggesting that the different isomerases are not closely related at the level of the primary structure of the polypeptide chain. The present data demonstrate that, similar to many other enzymes of beta-oxidation, delta 3,delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase has at least three isoenzymes in rat liver: mitochondrial short- and long-chain isomerases and an additional peroxisomal isoenzyme, which in this case is a part of a multifunctional protein.

Project description:We report the isolation of a cDNA encoding a mature human monofunctional delta 3 delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase and the determination of its nucleotide sequence. The purified uncleaved protein, as well as several internal tryptic and CNBr fragments, were subjected to N-terminal peptide sequencing. The deduced amino acid sequence of the mature protein consists of 260 amino acids with a predicted M(r) of 28735. The human mitochondrial isomerase exhibits a 74% (78%) sequence identity with the corresponding rat counterpart at amino acid (nucleotide) level(s). Many basic amino acid residues in rat isomerase have been changed to acidic or neutral residues in human enzyme, explaining the differences observed between these proteins.

Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of a moderate zinc deficiency and a high intake of polyunsaturated fat on the mRNA expression of peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), and mitochondrial Δ3Δ2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (ECI) in the liver. Weanling rats were assigned to five groups (eight animals each) and fed semi-synthetic, low-carbohydrate diets containing 7 or 50 mg Zn/kg (low-Zn (LZ) or high-Zn (HZ)) and 22% cocoa butter (CB) or 22% safflower (SF) oil for four weeks. One group each was fed the LZ-CB, LZ-SF, or HZ-SF diet free choice, and one group each was fed the HZ-CB and HZ-SF diets in restricted amounts according to intake of the respective LZ diets. The LZ diets markedly lowered growth and zinc concentrations in plasma and femur. Hepatic mRNA levels of PPARα, PPARγ, and ECI were not reduced by the moderate zinc deficiency. Overall, ECI-mRNA abundance was marginally higher in the SF-fed than in the CB-fed animals.

Project description:Glutathione transferases (GST) were purified from locally isolated bacteria, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus Y1, by glutathione-affinity chromatography and anion exchange, and their substrate specificities were investigated. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that the purified GST resolved into a single band with a molecular weight (MW) of 23 kDa. 2-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis showed the presence of two isoforms, GST1 (pI 4.5) and GST2 (pI 6.2) with identical MW. GST1 was reactive towards ethacrynic acid, hydrogen peroxide, 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, and trans,trans-hepta-2,4-dienal while GST2 was active towards all substrates except hydrogen peroxide. This demonstrated that GST1 possessed peroxidase activity which was absent in GST2. This study also showed that only GST2 was able to conjugate GSH to isoproturon, a herbicide. GST1 and GST2 were suggested to be similar to F0KLY9 (putative glutathione S-transferase) and F0KKB0 (glutathione S-transferase III) of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain PHEA-2, respectively.

Project description:Two monofunctional Delta(3), Delta(2)-enoyl-CoA isomerases, one in mitochondria (mECI) and the other in both mitochondria and peroxisomes (pECI), belong to the low-similarity isomerase/hydratase superfamily. Both enzymes catalyze the movement of a double bond from C3 to C2 of an unsaturated acyl-CoA substrate for re-entry into the beta-oxidation pathway. Mutagenesis has shown that Glu165 of rat mECI is involved in catalysis; however, the putative catalytic residue in yeast pECI, Glu158, is not conserved in mECI. To elucidate whether Glu165 of mECI is correctly positioned for catalysis, the crystal structure of rat mECI has been solved. Crystal packing suggests the enzyme is trimeric, in contrast to other members of the superfamily, which appear crystallographically to be dimers of trimers. The polypeptide fold of mECI, like pECI, belongs to a subset of this superfamily in which the C-terminal domain of a given monomer interacts with its own N-terminal domain. This differs from that of crotonase and 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphtoyl-CoA synthase, whose C-terminal domains are involved in domain swapping with an adjacent monomer. The structure confirms Glu165 as the putative catalytic acid/base, positioned to abstract the pro-R proton from C2 and reprotonate at C4 of the acyl chain. The large tunnel-shaped active site cavity observed in the mECI structure explains the relative substrate promiscuity in acyl-chain length and stereochemistry. Comparison with the crystal structure of pECI suggests the catalytic residues from both enzymes are spatially conserved but not in their primary structures, providing a powerful reminder of how catalytic residues cannot be determined solely by sequence alignments.

Project description:The 55 Arabidopsis glutathione transferases (GSTs) are, with one microsomal exception, a monophyletic group of soluble enzymes that can be divided into phi, tau, theta, zeta, lambda, dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and TCHQD classes. The populous phi and tau classes are often highly stress inducible and regularly crop up in proteomic and transcriptomic studies. Despite much study on their xenobiotic-detoxifying activities their natural roles are unclear, although roles in defence-related secondary metabolism are likely. The smaller DHAR and lambda classes are likely glutathione-dependent reductases, the zeta class functions in tyrosine catabolism and the theta class has a putative role in detoxifying oxidised lipids. This review describes the evidence for the functional roles of GSTs and the potential for these enzymes to perform diverse functions that in many cases are not "glutathione transferase" activities. As well as biochemical data, expression data from proteomic and transcriptomic studies are included, along with subcellular localisation experiments and the results of functional genomic studies.

Project description:Cytosolic glutathione transferases (GSTs) comprise a large family of enzymes with canonical structures that diverge functionally and structurally among mammals, invertebrates and plants. Whereas mammalian GSTs have been characterized extensively with regard to their structure and function, invertebrate GSTs remain relatively unstudied. The invertebrate GSTs do, however, represent potentially important drug targets for infectious diseases and agricultural applications. In addition, it is essential to fully understand the structure and function of invertebrate GSTs, which play important roles in basic biological processes. Invertebrates harbor delta- and epsilon-class GSTs, which are not found in other organisms. Drosophila melanogaster GSTs (DmGSTs) are likely to contribute to detoxication or antioxidative stress during development, but they have not been fully characterized. Here, the structures of two epsilon-class GSTs from Drosophila, DmGSTE6 and DmGSTE7, are reported at 2.1 and 1.5 Å resolution, respectively, and are compared with other GSTs to identify structural features that might correlate with their biological functions. The structures of DmGSTE6 and DmGSTE7 are remarkably similar; the structures do not reveal obvious sources of the minor functional differences that have been observed. The main structural difference between the epsilon- and delta-class GSTs is the longer helix (A8) at the C-termini of the epsilon-class enzymes.

Project description:Recent studies have revealed binding of mitochondrial enoyl-CoA isomerase (ECI) to S-hexylglutathione-Sepharose, an affinity matrix used for purification of glutathione transferases (GSTs), and the enzyme has been suggested to be identical with the Alpha class form of GST with a subunit molecular mass of about 30 kDa. In the present study, S-hexylglutathione-binding proteins of human hepatocellular carcinomas were characterized to examine their identity. Supernatant fractions of carcinoma and surrounding tissues were applied to an affinity column, and bound fractions were resolved into three proteins with subunit molecular masses/pI values of 33 kDa/7.0, 30 kDa/5.8 and 29 kDa/5.8 in addition to the well-characterized four GST subunits, A1, A2, M1 and P1, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The proteins were further purified by chromatofocusing at pH 7.4-4.0. The 30 and 29 kDa proteins were eluted at pH 4.9 and by 1 M NaCl respectively, and could be clearly separated from each other. The 29 kDa protein exhibited a low but significant activity towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (4.25 micromol/min per mg of protein) and reacted with anti-(GST A1-2) antibody, suggesting that it is a member of the GST Alpha class. The 30 kDa protein did not react with anti-GST antibodies and was identified as ECI by immunoblotting and N-terminal-amino-acid-sequencing analyses. The results thus indicated that the Alpha class GST form composed of the 29 kDa subunits and ECI are two different proteins. The 33 kDa protein was eluted from the chromatofocusing column at pH 7.0 and did not react with either anti-GST antibodies or antibodies against mitochondrial enzymes involved in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids. However, it exhibited a carbonyl reductase activity with menadione and ubiquinone, and amino acid sequences of its peptides cleaved by Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase were consistent with those reported for the enzyme. Thus this protein binding to S-hexylglutathione-Sepharose was identified as carbonyl reductase.

Project description:With the development of accurate protein structure prediction algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in the field of structural biology. AI-based algorithms have been used to analyze large amounts of protein sequence data including the human proteome, complementing experimental structure data found in resources such as the Protein Data Bank. The EBI AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (for example) contains over 230 million structures. In this study, these data have been analyzed to find all human proteins containing (or predicted to contain) the cytosolic glutathione transferase (cGST) fold. A total of 39 proteins were found, including the alpha-, mu-, pi-, sigma-, zeta- and omega-class GSTs, intracellular chloride channels, metaxins, multisynthetase complex components, elongation factor 1 complex components and others. Three broad themes emerge: cGST domains as enzymes, as chloride ion channels and as protein-protein interaction mediators. As the majority of cGSTs are dimers, the AI-based structure prediction algorithm AlphaFold-multimer was used to predict structures of all pairwise combinations of these cGST domains. Potential homo- and heterodimers are described. Experimental biochemical and structure data is used to highlight the strengths and limitations of AI-predicted structures.
