Recombinant expression of Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1 glutathione S-transferase in Arabidopsis thaliana: an efficient tool for phytoremediation of thiocyanate

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2020
Large-scale production of thiocyanate (SCN-) for industrial purposes has led to widespread environmental pollution by this compound. Thiocyanate (SCN-) is toxic for humans and recalcitrant to biological oxygenation and hydrolysis.

Glutathione transferases. Catalysis of nucleophilic reactions of glutathione

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1978
Homogeneous preparations of the glutathione transferases from rat liver have been tested for their ability to catalyze a number of diverse nucleophilic reactions of GSH. Although disulfide interchange with GSSG or L-cystine, and cis-trans isomerization of maleic acid, are clearly promoted by thiols in solution, the reactions were not catalyzed by the ...

Associations Between Microplastic Burden and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in the Freshwater Mussel Unio elongatulus

Applied Sciences
Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by microplastics (MPs), yet field evidence linking MP burden with physiological responses in freshwater bivalves remains limited.

Role of glutathione transferases in herbicide detoxification in weeds [PDF]

, 1996
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) catalyse the conjugation of the electrophilic herbicides atrazine, metolachlor, alachlor and fluorodifen with the tripeptide glutathione (GSH).

Targeting glutathione S-transferase M4 in Ewing sarcoma

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2014
Ewing sarcoma is a malignant pediatric bone and soft tissue tumor. Although the 5-year survival rate of localized disease approaches 75%, the prognosis of metastatic and/or therapy-resistant disease remains dismal despite the wide use of aggressive ...

Glutathione S-conjugates as prodrugs to target drug-resistant tumors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014
Living organisms are continuously exposed to xenobiotics. The major phase of enzymatic detoxification in many species is the conjugation of activated xenobiotics to reduced glutathione (GSH) catalyzed by the glutathione-S-transferase (GST).

The influence of glutathione S-transferases M1 and M3 on the development of bladder cancer [PDF]

Problem: Cigarette smoking is the most important risk factor of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. The effect of the glutathione S- transferases M1 (GSTM1) and M3 (GSTM3) on the influence of this risk factor was investigated.
