Heavy metal sensitivities of gene deletion strains for ITT1 and RPS1A connect their activities to the expression of URE2, a key gene involved in metal detoxification in yeast. [PDF]
Heavy metal and metalloid contaminations are among the most concerning types of pollutant in the environment. Consequently, it is important to investigate the molecular mechanisms of cellular responses and detoxification pathways for these compounds in ...

GSTP1 and GSTM3 Variant Alleles Affect Susceptibility and Severity of COVID-19
Based on the premise that oxidative stress plays an important role in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection, we speculated that variations in the antioxidant activities of different members of the glutathione S-transferase ...

Glutathione transferases in soybean glycine max (L.) Merr [PDF]
Glutathione transferases, also known as Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), are a diverse group of enzymes that catalyse the conjugation of the tri-peptide glutathione to a wide range of electrophilic substrates.

Glutathione transferases in maize (zea mays) [PDF]
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 ...

Glutathione S transferase polymorphisms influence on iron overload in β-thalassemia patients
In patients with β-thalassemia iron overload that leads to damage to vital organs is observed. Glutathione S transferase (GST) enzymes have an antioxidant role in detoxification processes of toxic substances. This role is determined genetically.

Role of glutathione transferases in herbicide detoxification in weeds [PDF]
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) catalyse the conjugation of the electrophilic herbicides atrazine, metolachlor, alachlor and fluorodifen with the tripeptide glutathione (GSH).

Crystal structure of a murine α-class glutathione S-transferase involved in cellular defense against oxidative stress [PDF]
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are ubiquitous multifunctional enzymes which play a key role in cellular detoxification. The enzymes protect the cells against toxicants by conjugating them to glutathione.

Characterization of the Omega Class of Glutathione Transferases
The Omega class of cytosolic glutathione transferases was initially recognized by bioinformatic analysis of human sequence databases, and orthologous sequences were subsequently discovered in mouse, rat, pig, Caenorhabditis elegans, Schistosoma mansoni ...

Evolutionary conservation of regulated longevity assurance mechanisms [PDF]
Background: To what extent are the determinants of aging in animal species universal? Insulin/ insulin-like growth factor ( IGF)-1 signaling ( IIS) is an evolutionarily conserved ( public) regulator of longevity; yet it remains unclear whether the genes ...
