| Abstract: | Caenorhabditis elegans expresses a glutathione transferase (GST) belonging to the Pi class, for which we propose the name CeGSTP2-2. CeGSTP2-2 (the product of the gst-10 gene) has the ability to conjugate the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). Transgenic C. elegans strains were generated in which the 5'-flanking region and promoter of gst-10 were placed upstream of gst-10 and mGsta4 cDNAs, respectively. mGsta4 encodes the murine mGSTA4-4, an enzyme with particularly high catalytic efficiency for 4-HNE. The localization of both transgenes was similar to that of native CeGSTP2-2. The 4-HNE-conjugating activity in worm lysates increased in the order: control
