Partial purification and some biochemical properties of neonatal rat cutaneous glutathione S-transferases

1. Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of glutathione S-transferases in the skin of rodents and humans. This study represents the first attempt to purify cytosolic glutathione S-transferases from skin of 3-day-old rats. 2. A partial purification of the enzyme was achieved by a two-step procedure: affinity chromatography followed by HPLC. Two peaks, one major (P-1) and one minor (P-2), were resolved by HPLC containing about 82% and 10% of the recovered activity, respectively. 3. The major form exhibited an overall purification of about 2270-fold with a specific activity of about 73 mumoles/min/mg protein towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. 4. The kinetic data for P-1 yielded mean Km values of 2.39 mM for 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and 0.72 mM for reduced glutathione, while the respective average Vmax values were found to be 212 and 101 mumoles/min/mg protein. 5. Significantly inhibition of enzyme activity was noted in the presence of 0.2 mM HgCl2, 0.63 microM 1.2-naphthoquinone, 1.0 microM triphenyltin chloride, and 12.5 microM 17 beta-estradiol-3-sulfate.     

Comparative study of the purification and characterization of the cytosolic glutathione S-transferases from two salmonid species: Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta)

In the present report, an efficient method for isolating multiple cytosolic forms of glutathione S-transferases from liver and kidney cytosolic samples of two salmonid species (brown trout and Atlantic salmon) is described, and some of the multiple properties of these enzymes are presented. Glutathione S-transferases were partially purified by low-pressure affinity chromatography on a column with glutathione coupled to agarose, which retained an average of 89.47% of the total activity. The GST activity was appropriated towards CDNB and ETHA as substrates. The application of an HPLC system associated to elestrospray ionization mass spectrometry allowed the identification of five GST cytosolic isoforms, corresponding to subunits with M(r) between 23,700 and 26,900 Da being the main form, with retention time of 17 min, a pi-class-related GST isoenzyme.     

Rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the separation of hydroxylated testosterone metabolites

A rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is described for the quantitation of hydroxytestosterone metabolites. The method combines a Hypersil BDS C₁₈ analytical column (10 cm×0.46 cm) and a linear mobile phase (1.25 ml/min) gradient of tetrahydrofuran–acetonitrile–water (10:10:80, v/v) changing to tetrahydrofuran–acetonitrile–water (14:14:72, v/v) over 10 min then remaining isocratic for 3 min. The total run time for the chromatographic separation of eight metabolites of testosterone is 15 min. Detection by UV is linear between 300 ng/ml and 10 μg/ml with a limit of detection on column of 300 ng/ml. A method for the direct HPLC analysis of liver microsomal incubates of [¹⁴C]testosterone is also briefly described and when combined with the HPLC method, offers a distinct advantage over previously reported methods for the rapid screening of testosterone hydroxylase activity in rat and human liver microsomes.     

A rapid, novel high performance liquid chromatography method for the purification of glutathione S-transferase: an application to the human placental enzyme

A simple High Performance Liquid Chromatography procedure is detailed for the purification of Glutathione S-transferase. The human placental transferase was used to assess its potential. Unlike conventional methods of purification, the procedure is rapid and resolution of the various forms is achieved in less than 20 min. Since recovery is essentially complete, it is possible to isolate different minor forms. Three forms, one major and two minor, were separated. The major form represented about 97% of the total recovered activity and exhibited a specific activity of 254.94 mumoles/min/mg protein with a purification of 1342-fold. Electrophoresis of the major form revealed the presence of a single band, suggesting homogeneity.     

Determination of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray-mass spectrometry

A sensitive and rapid method for determination of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was developed based on a combination of enzymatic reaction followed by high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) determination of its product. The most commonly used substrate hippuryl-histidyl-leucine (HHL) or hippuryl-glycyl-glycine (HGG) hydrolysis catalyzed by purified rabbit lung ACE or human plasma ACE was investigated in the presence of benazeprilat. The incubation time was 8 min for purified lung ACE, and 16 min for human plasma ACE. The produced hippuric acid (HA) was separated from substrate HHL or HGG by HPLC on a C(18) column with isocratic elution within 6.5 min, and quantified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) with p-phthalic acid as an internal standard (IS). The limit of detection of HA was 6.0 ng/ml. HHL or HGG hydrolysis catalyzed by purified lung ACE displayed excellent accuracy and reproducibility. The small total reaction volume, the low concentration of substrate, and the simple treating procedures present the advantages of the new method. Furthermore, the total time of the whole procedure for one sample with the novel method is less than 1/2 of that of the conventional HPLC or spectrophotometry method, while the accuracy and the precision of the new method are almost the same as the conventional HPLC method with UV detection.     

Membrane chromatographic method for the rapid purification of vitellogenin from fish plasma

A membrane chromatographic method was developed for the rapid purification of vitellogenin (Vtg) from the plasma of 17beta-estradiol induced loach (Misgurnus angaillicaud atus) and carp (Cyprinus carpio). The time required for the proposed procedure is less then 10 min at a flow-rate of 5 ml/min of the mobile phase, and 0.5 ml of fish plasma could be separated in one cycle. Multistep gradient elution was more suitable for the separation than linear gradient elution. Under optimized conditions, a single Vtg peak can be obtained and its identity was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and gel-permeation chromatography assessment. This method is rapid and easy to operate compared to conventional HPLC and FPLC columns for Vtg separation.     

High-performance liquid chromatography determination of methionine adenosyltransferase activity using catechol-O-methyltransferase-coupled fluorometric detection

A nonradioactive, sensitive, rapid, and specific method for the determination of methionine adenosyltransferase activity has been established. In this method, the methyl group of S-adenosyl-L-methionine was enzymatically transferred to esculetin with the aid of catechol-O-methyltransferase and then the resulting scopoletin was extracted with n-hexane:ethyl acetate (7:3, v/v) and measured by high-performance liquid chromatography with Si 60 column and fluorometric detection with excitation and emission wavelengths at 347 and 415 nm, respectively. The detection limit for scopoletin was about 100 fmol. Using this method to determine MAT activity in HL-60 cells required only about 2.5 microg of protein and the incubation time needed for enzymatic reaction is less than 30 min. The HPLC analysis procedure took only 5 min per sample. The kinetic study showed that MAT in HL-60 cells exhibited negative cooperativity with a Hill coefficient of 0.5. The values of K(m) and V(max) were 6.1+/-0.3 microM and 135.4+/-1.5 nmol AdoMet formed/mg protein/h, respectively.     

Comparison of glutathione S-transferases of Zea mays responsible for herbicide detoxification in plants and suspension-cultured cells

The metabolism of the s-triazine herbicide atrazine has been compared in Zea mays seedlings and cell suspension cultures. The rapid detoxification observed in the shoots of whole plants was not seen in the cultured cells. This difference in metabolism could be accounted for by the varying substrate specificities of the isoenzymes of glutathione S-transferase (EC 2.5.1.18) present in the plant and the cells. A single form of the enzyme isolated from leaf tissue conjugated both atrazine and the chloracetanilide herbicide metolachlor. However, the two isoenzymes present in suspension-cultured cells although active against metolachlor, showed no activity toward atrazine. Following purification, the major form of transferase present in the cells was physically similar to the enzyme isolated from leaf (M_r=55000). Both proteins were dimers of subunit M_r=26300, and with isoelectric points in the range pH 4.3-4.9. The minor form of the enzyme present in culture showed a greater specificity for metolachlor than the major species. In addition the overall activity and ratio of the two isoenzymes varied over the culture growth cycle. These findings illustrate the need for characterizing enzymes involved in herbicide detoxification in plant cell cultures.Abbreviations CDNB 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene - DEAE diethylaminoethyl - GSH glutathione (reduced) - GST glutathione S-transferase - HPLC high-pressure liquid chromatography - M_r molecular weight - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis     

Assay for quantitative determination of glutathione and glutathione disulfide levels using enzymatic recycling method

The spectrophotometric/microplate reader assay method for glutathione (GSH) involves oxidation of GSH by the sulfhydryl reagent 5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) to form the yellow derivative 5'-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB), measurable at 412 nm. The glutathione disulfide (GSSG) formed can be recycled to GSH by glutathione reductase in the presence of NADPH. The assay is composed of two parts: the preparation of cell cytosolic/tissue extracts and the detection of total glutathione (GSH and GSSG). The method is simple, convenient, sensitive and accurate. The lowest detection for GSH and GSSG is 0.103 nM in a 96-well plate. This method is rapid and the whole procedure takes no longer than 15 min including reagent preparation. The method can assay GSH in whole blood, plasma, serum, lung lavage fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, tissues and cell extracts and can be extended for drug discovery/pharmacology and toxicology protocols to study the effects of drugs and toxic compounds on glutathione metabolism.     

Different efficacy of iodoacetic acid and N-ethylmaleimide in high-performance liquid chromatographic measurement of liver glutathione

The widely used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure to determine glutathione in biological samples utilizing iodoacetic acid as thiol quenching agent and 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene for derivatization has been modified regarding tissue sample processing and storage of the working solutions. The modified procedure compared with the original method reduces artifactual oxidation in rat liver glutathione measurement (1.47±0.8% vs. 2.84±0.69%, respectively). In both HPLC procedures, an increase in artifactual oxidation was found in both standard glutathione solutions and hepatic samples when N-ethylmaleimide instead of iodoacetic acid was used for thiol trapping.
