Studies of the development of basic, neutral and acidic isoenzymes of glutathione S-transferase in human liver, adrenal, kidney and spleen.

ABSTRACT: The ontogeny of basic, near-neutral and acidic glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes was studied by using chromatofocusing and ion-exchange chromatography. These isoenzyme sets demonstrated tissue-specific patterns of expression. For example, whereas basic isoenzymes were identified in all liver and adrenal cytosols obtained after 10 weeks gestation, these forms were not detected in kidney until 10 weeks post-natal age and in spleen until about 40 weeks post-natal age. Our data indicate that the basic monomers B1 and B2 are present in liver cytosol at 21 weeks gestation. Expression of the near-neutral isoenzymes was usually weak; for example, they were not generally expressed in liver until 30 weeks gestation, and no developmental patterns in their expression could be identified in adrenal, kidney and spleen. The acidic isoenzymes were usually strongly expressed in adrenal, kidney and spleen, although there was a decline in the level of expression in kidney after birth.

Isoenzymes of glutathione transferase in rat kidney cytosol.

Project description:Glutathione transferases from rat kidney cytosol were purified about 40-fold by chromatography on S-hexylglutathione linked to epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B. Further purification by fast protein liquid chromatography with chromatofocusing in the pH interval 10.6-7.6 resolved five major peaks of activity with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as the second substrate. Four of the peaks were identified with rat liver transferases 1-1, 1-2, 2-2 and 4-4 respectively. The criteria used for identification included physical properties, reactions with specific antibodies, substrate specificities and sensitivities to several inhibitors. The fourth major peak is a 'new' form of transferase, which has not been found in rat liver. This isoenzyme, glutathione transferase 7-7, has a lower apparent subunit Mr than any of the transferases isolated from rat liver cytosol, and does not react with antibodies raised against the liver enzymes. Glutathione transferases 3-3 and 3-4, which are abundant in liver, were only present in very small amounts. In a separate chromatofocusing separation in a lower pH interval, an additional peak was eluted at pH 6.3. This isoenzyme is characterized by its high activity with ethacrynic acid.

Immunohistochemical distribution of isoenzymes of glutathione transferase in adult rat adrenal gland before and after hypophysectomy.

Project description: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 distribution pattern. After hypophysectomy, increased staining for these isoenzymes was generally observed, and this effect was also cell-specific. Staining for subunit 2 increased in intensity in the zona fasciculata and reticularis after hypophysectomy, whereas a decrease was observed in the zona glomerulosa. Staining for subunit 8 was increased in the borderline between the capsule and zona glomerulosa, as well as in medullary chromaffin cells after hypophysectomy. The Mu subunits 3 and 4 increased markedly in fascicular and reticular cells after hypophysectomy and staining for subunit 3 was also increased in the medullary cells. A slight, but more general, increase was observed for subunit 7. We conclude from these experiments that the increases in glutathione transferase subunits observed in the rat adrenal after hypophysectomy are due to increased protein synthesis and/or increased protein stability and not to a selective destruction of cells lacking, or with low levels of, the isoenzymes.

Glutathione analogue sorbents selectively bind glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes.

Project description:Novel affinity sorbents for glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) were created by binding glutathione (GSH) analogues to Sepharose 6B. The GSH molecule was modified at the glycine moiety and at the group attached to the sulphur of cysteine. When tested by affinity chromatography in a flow-through microplate format, several of these sorbents selectively bound GST isoenzymes. gamma E-C(Hx)-phi G (glutathione with a hexyl moiety bound to cysteine and phenylglycine substituted for glycine) specifically bound rat GST 7-7, the Pi-class isoenzyme, from liver, kidney and small intestine. gamma E-C(Bz)-beta A (benzyl bound to cysteine and beta-alanine substituted for glycine) was highly selective for rat subunits 3 and 4, which are Mu-class isoenzymes. By allowing purification of the isoenzymes under mild conditions that preserve activity, the novel sorbents should be useful in characterizing the biological roles of GSTs in both normal animal and cancer tissues.

Isoenzymes of glutathione transferase in rat small intestine.

Project description:The major glutathione transferases in the rat small-intestine cytosol were isolated and characterized. The enzymes active with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as second substrate were almost quantitatively recovered after affinity chromatography on immobilized S-hexylglutathione. The different basic forms of glutathione transferase, which account for 90% of the activity, were resolved by chromatofocusing. Fractions containing enzymes with lower isoelectric points were not further resolved. The isolated fractions were characterized by their elution position in chromatofocusing, apparent subunit Mr, reactions with specific antibodies, substrate specificities and inhibition characteristics. The major basic forms identified were glutathione transferases 1-1, 4-4 and 7-7. In addition, evidence for the presence of a variant form of subunit 1, as well as trace amounts of subunits 2 and 3, was obtained. A significant amount of transferase 8-8 in the fraction of acidic enzyme forms was demonstrated by immunoblot and Ouchterlony double-diffusion analysis. In the comparison of the occurrence of the different forms of glutathione transferase in liver, lung, kidney and small intestine, it was found that the small intestine is the richest source of glutathione transferase 7-7.

Expression of human glutathione S-transferase 2 in Escherichia coli. Immunological comparison with the basic glutathione S-transferases isoenzymes from human liver.

Project description:A plasmid, termed pTacGST2, which contains the complete coding sequence of a GST2 (glutathione S-transferase 2) subunit and permits the expression of the protein in Escherichia coli was constructed. The expressed protein had the same subunit Mr as the enzyme from normal human liver and retained its catalytic function with both GST and glutathione peroxidase activity. Antiserum raised against the bacterially synthesized protein cross-reacted with all the basic GST isoenzymes in human liver. The electrophoretic mobility in agarose of the bacterially expressed isoenzyme suggested that its pI is identical with that of the cationic isoenzyme from human liver previously termed GST2 type 1. The available evidence suggests that the three common cationic isoenzymes found in human liver are the products of two very similar gene loci.

Substrate selection for fundamental studies of electrocatalysts and photoelectrodes: inert potential windows in acidic, neutral, and basic electrolyte.

Project description:The selection of an appropriate substrate is an important initial step for many studies of electrochemically active materials. In order to help researchers with the substrate selection process, we employ a consistent experimental methodology to evaluate the electrochemical reactivity and stability of seven potential substrate materials for electrocatalyst and photoelectrode evaluation. Using cyclic voltammetry with a progressively increased scan range, we characterize three transparent conducting oxides (indium tin oxide, fluorine-doped tin oxide, and aluminum-doped zinc oxide) and four opaque conductors (gold, stainless steel 304, glassy carbon, and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite) in three different electrolytes (sulfuric acid, sodium acetate, and sodium hydroxide). We determine the inert potential window for each substrate/electrolyte combination and make recommendations about which materials may be most suitable for application under different experimental conditions. Furthermore, the testing methodology provides a framework for other researchers to evaluate and report the baseline activity of other substrates of interest to the broader community.

Glutathione s-transferase p1: gene sequence variation and functional genomic studies.

Project description:Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) is of importance for cancer research because of its role in detoxifying carcinogens, activating antineoplastic prodrugs, metabolizing chemotherapeutic agents, and its involvement in cell cycle and apoptosis regulation. Two common GSTP1 genetic polymorphisms have been studied extensively. However, the full range of GSTP1 genetic variation has not been systematically characterized in the absence of disease pathology. We set out to identify common GSTP1 polymorphisms in four ethnic groups, followed by functional genomic studies. All exons, splice junctions, and the 5'-flanking region of GSTP1 were resequenced using 60 DNA samples each from four ethnic groups. The 35 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) identified included six nonsynonymous SNPs and 17 previously unreported polymorphisms. GSTP1 variant allozymes were then expressed in COS-1 cells, and five displayed significantly altered levels of enzyme activity. One decreased to 22% of the wild-type (WT) activity. Four variant allozymes had K(m) values that differed significantly from that of the WT, and five showed altered levels of immunoreactive protein compared with WT, with a significant correlation (r = 0.79, P < 0.007) between levels of immunoreactive protein and enzyme activity in these samples. In the Mexican American population, five linked SNPs were significantly associated with GSTP1 mRNA expression, one of which was found by electrophoretic mobility shift assay to alter protein binding. These studies have identified functionally significant genetic variation, in addition to the two frequently studied GSTP1 nonsynonymous SNPs, that may influence GSTP1's contribution to carcinogen and drug metabolism, and possibly disease pathogenesis and/or drug response.

Rat spleen glutathione transferases. A new acidic form belonging to the Alpha class.

Project description:Cytosolic glutathione transferases (GSTs) were purified from the rat spleen by S-hexyl-GSH-Sepharose chromatography, and two major forms were identified as GSTs 2-2 and 7-7 (GST P). Besides these forms an acidic form (pI 5.8) was purified by chromatofocusing at pH 7-4 and it accounted for about 1% of the total GST activity bound to S-hexyl-GSH-Sepharose. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that it is a homodimer (subunit Mr 26,000 with pI 5.8). Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that it was immunologically related to GSTs 2-2 and 1-1, and its N-terminal amino acid was apparently blocked, similarly to other forms of the class Alpha. This form had a low activity towards cumene hydroperoxide or 4-hydroxynon-2-enal, indicating that this form differed from GSTs 10-10 and 8-8 as well as from GSTs 1-1 and 2-2. These results suggest that it is a new form of GST belonging to the class Alpha.

Purification and characterization of acidic glutathione S-transferase 6 from human brain.

Project description:An acidic glutathione S-transferase (GST) isoenzyme termed GST6 has been isolated from human brain, characterized and compared with other isoenzymes. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of GST6 was found to be identical with that of GST4 previously purified from human muscle. GST6 cross-reacted with antibody raised against GST4, but not with antisera raised against GST1, GST2 or GST3. The subunit Mr and pI of GST6 were found to be different from those of GST4. The present results indicate that GST6 is another member of the Mu evolutionary class which in man also includes GST1, GST4 and GST5. A minor component that co-purified with GST6 was shown to have an N-terminal sequence similar to, but not identical with, that of GST3. This isoenzyme may be an additional member of the Pi evolutionary class.
