Glutathione transferases: new functions

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2005
Well known as detoxification enzymes, the glutathione transferases also function in prostaglandin and steroid hormone synthesis. New uses for the canonical glutathione transferase fold are becoming apparent; the bacterial stringent starvation protein SspA and the yeast prion protein Ure2p (both transcription factors) were found to adopt this fold, but ...
