Allyl isothiocyanate depletes glutathione and upregulates expression of glutathione S-transferases in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a phytochemical associated with plant defense in plants from the Brassicaceae family. AITC has long been recognized as a countermeasure against external threats, but recent reports suggest that AITC is also involved in the ...

Association of glutathione S transferases polymorphisms with glaucoma: a meta-analysis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundGlutathione S transferase (GST) polymorphisms have been considered risk factors for the development of glaucoma, including primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and other types of glaucoma. However, the results remain controversial. In this study,

Characterization of Affinity-Purified Isoforms of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus Y1 Glutathione Transferases

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
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.

Catalysis of Silver catfish Major Hepatic Glutathione Transferase proceeds via rapid equilibrium sequential random Mechanism

open access: yesToxicology Reports, 2016
Fish hepatic glutathione transferases are connected with the elimination of intracellular pollutants and detoxification of organic micro-pollutants in their aquatic ecosystem. The two-substrate steady state kinetic mechanism of Silver catfish (Synodontis

Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Glutathione transferase in helminths

open access: yesParasitology, 1990
The helminth glutathione (GSH) transferases are present as isoenzymes but fail to show a clear biochemical homology to any of the three mammalian GSH transferase families. GSH transferase is one of the major detoxification systems found in helminths, particularly high levels being found in cestodes and digeneans.

Emerging role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 in the mechanism of action and resistance to anticancer therapies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a transcription factor, is a master regulator of an array of genes related to oxidative and electrophilic stress that promote and maintain redox homeostasis. NRF2 function is well studied in in vitro, animal and
