Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2005
▪ Abstract This review describes the three mammalian glutathione transferase (GST) families, namely cytosolic, mitochondrial, and microsomal GST, the latter now designated MAPEG. Besides detoxifying electrophilic xenobiotics, such as chemical carcinogens, environmental pollutants, and antitumor agents, these transferases inactivate endogenous α,β ...

Glucosyl transferase activity of bovine galactosyl transferase
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1978Bovine galactosyl transferase was found to utilize UDPglucose as a substrate and elicit disaccharide biosynthesis with glucose and N-acetylglucosamine as acceptors. The relative rate of glucosyl transferase with N-acetylglucosamine as acceptor was 0.3%, the rate for N-acetyllactosamine biosynthesis.

Abstract Our first investigations of the action of lysozyme on tetrasaccharides isolated from chitin showed that lysozyme, like many other known glycosides, is a transferase. Under certain conditions (oligosaccharide concentration 1 to 2%, the enzyme concentration 0.5%) the synthetic process may yield an insoluble chitin-like product.

The flavin isoalloxazine ring in electron transferases functions in a redox capacity, being able to take up electrons from a donor to subsequently deliver them to an acceptor. The main characteristics of these flavoproteins, including their unique ability to mediate obligatory processes of two-electron transfers with those involving single-electron ...

Enzymes are nature’s catalyst of choice for the highly selective and efficient coupling of carbohydrates. Enzymatic sugar coupling is a competitive technology for industrial glycosylation reactions, since chemical synthetic routes require extensive use of laborious protection group manipulations and often lack regio- and stereoselectivity.

Inhibitors of prenyl transferases
Current Opinion in Oncology, 1997Because farnesylation of Ras is required for its cancer-causing activity, several classes of farnesyl transferase inhibitors have recently been developed as potential anticancer drugs. During the last 12 months, important advances have been made in this field.

Glutathione (GSH), the most ubiquitous and abundant nonprotein thiol, is essential in numerous detoxification reactions and is therefore considered a chemoprotectant. In the human, levels of GSH range from 30μM in plasma to 3mM in kidney proximal tubules; tumors of various organs can contain up to 10mM GSH [1].

Abstract The glutathione transferases (GSTs) are a family of multi-functional proteins which act as enzymes and also as binding proteins in detoxification processes (1-5). GSTs catalyse the nucleophilic attack of the sulfur atom of reduced glutathione by electrophilic groups in a second substrate. Most GSTs are located in the cytosol,

Peptidyl transferase and beyond
Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 1995The peptidyl transferase center of the Escherichia coli ribosome encompasses a number of 50S-subunit proteins as well as several specific segments of the 23S rRNA. Although our knowledge of the role that both ribosomal proteins and 23S rRNA play in peptide bond formation has steadily increased, the location, organization, and molecular structure of ...
