昆虫谷胱甘肽S-转移酶蛋白纯化技术研究

昆虫谷胱甘肽S-转移酶蛋白纯化的主要方法是沉淀法、层析法和电泳法。沉淀法是在进行柱层析前常使用的一种方法,但是其纯化倍数较低。层析法纯化倍数较高,但其费用也较高。电泳通常是作为一种辅助方法来使用。利用这些方法,谷胱甘肽S-转移酶蛋白最高纯化倍数为1138倍(马素永等利用层析法和电泳法对亚洲玉米螟谷胱甘肽S-转移酶蛋白进行纯化)。文章讨论了昆虫谷胱甘肽S-转移酶蛋白纯化研究的应用。

江南卷柏Phi类谷胱甘肽S-转移酶的分子特性

谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(Glutathione S-transferase,GST)在帮助植物抵抗各种胁迫中发挥重要作用。该研究从江南卷柏Selaginella moellendorffii中克隆到两个Phi类GST基因,分别命名为Sm GSTF1和Sm GSTF2,两个基因均编码215个氨基酸残基的蛋白质。表达模式分析发现,这两个基因在江南卷柏根、茎和叶中均有表达。将这两个基因在大肠杆菌中诱导表达重组蛋白并纯化,酶学性质分析表明Sm GSTF1和Sm GSTF2对CDNB、NBD-Cl和NBC等3种底物都有活性。Sm GSTF1对Fluorodifen和Cum-OOH也有活性,而Sm GSTF2对它们没有活性。酶动力学分析表明Sm GSTF1和Sm GSTF2对GSH有较高的亲和力,而对CDNB的亲和力都相对较低。在不同p H及温度条件下对Sm GSTF1和Sm GSTF2重组蛋白进行活性测定,发现这两个蛋白在p H 7-8.5,45-55℃温度范围内有较高的催化活性。研究推测,Sm GSTF1和Sm GSTF2可能在江南卷柏的抗逆生理过程中有重要的作用。

谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（glutathione S-transferase, GST）是一类广泛分布的多功能超家族酶系, 其中Omega家族GST在昆虫体内担负重要生理功能。为探讨飞蝗Locusta migratoria Omega家族GST功能, 利用RT-PCR技术克隆得到1条飞蝗谷胱甘肽S-转移酶Omega家族基因全长cDNA, 命名为LmGSTo1 （GenBank登录号： JQ750592）。该基因开放阅读框长738 bp, 编码245个氨基酸。该酶含有N-端和C-端2个结构域, N-端结构域由5个β-折叠和3个α螺旋组成, 包括4个GSH结合位点; C-端结构域由8个α螺旋组成, 含有5个底物结合位点。Real-time PCR结果表明, LmGSTo1在飞蝗不同龄期均有表达, 在胃盲囊和中肠表达量较低, 在前肠、马氏管、肌肉和脂肪体表达量较高; 溴氰菊酯处理可导致LmGSTo1表达水平显著下降。这些结果为进一步研究LmGSTo1基因功能提供了依据。     

昆虫谷胱甘肽S-转移酶的基因结构及其表达调控

谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（glutathione S-transferases, GSTs）属于一个超家族,目前已从20多种昆虫中克隆得到了近百个GSTs基因序列。这些基因分属于至少3个类别,Ⅰ（Delta）类,Ⅱ类和Ⅲ（Epsilon）类,其中Ⅰ类和Ⅲ类是昆虫特异性的类别。昆虫Ⅰ类GSTs基因通常由多基因家族编码,基因多态性在不同昆虫种类中差异很大。Ⅱ类基因的种类较少,基因的结构较简单,通常是单拷贝基因。Ⅲ类基因是最近才鉴定出来的新类别,目前仅在黑腹果蝇和冈比亚按蚊中明确了其在染色体上的定位。基因簇、可变剪接和基因融合等机制是导致昆虫GSTs基因多态性的主要原因。在抗性昆虫种群中,GSTs表达量的增加有mRNA水平的提高和基因扩增两种机制,但后一种机制的报道很少。GSTs活性的增加是由于属于一类或多类的多个同工酶的增量调控,也有少数是由于单个同工酶的增量调控。GSTs的表达受反式调控元件和顺式调控元件的调控。目前仅有少数含有调节基因的染色体大致位点和可能的调控元件得到鉴定。

谷胱甘肽S-转移酶Zeta类基因在酿酒酵母中的表达

谷胱甘肽S-转移酶Zeta类基因在酿酒酵母中的表达 贾向东1,陈喜文1,陈德富1,陈洁2 (1.南开大学生命科学学院,生物活性材料教育部重点实验室,天津300071;2.湖南怀化市铁路第一中学,怀化418000) 摘要：谷胱甘肽S-转移酶Zeta类(GSTZ)是一种重要的多功能酶,与细胞生化代谢、环境净化等密切相关。将拟南芥、甘蓝型油菜品系陕2B与垦C1的GSTZ基因克隆到大肠杆菌—酿酒酵母穿梭表达载体pYES2的多克隆位点,筛选到重组子后,提取重组质粒并将其转入酿酒酵母营养缺陷型菌株INCSc1细胞中,经SC-U培养基选择得到重组酵母Y2At、Y2BnB和Y2BnC。重组酵母在含棉子糖和半乳糖的诱导培养基中,表达出了具有二氯乙酸脱氯活力的谷胱甘肽S-转移酶Zeta类,且主要以可溶状态存在于酵母细胞中。不同碳源比较发现,使用半乳糖为唯一碳源时,与棉子糖和半乳糖共同使用相比,酵母生长虽受到轻微影响,但表达的GSTZ比活力几乎不受任何影响。0~96h诱导时间的优化实验表明,36h诱导下呈现最高比活力。同时也对不同GSTZ的Km值进行了比较。     

The Effects of Methylglyoxal on Glutathione S-Transferase from Nicotiana tabacum

Methylglyoxal (MG) is one of the aldehydes that accumulate in plants under environmental stress. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play important roles, including detoxification, in the stress tolerance systems of plants. To determine the effects of MG, we characterized recombinant GST. MG decreased GST activity and thiol contents with increasing K _m. GST can serve as a target of MG modification, which is suppressed by application of reduced glutathione.     

Optimization of Storage and Stability of Camel Liver Glutathione S-Transferase

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are multifunctional enzymes and play an important role in cellular detoxification. Besides this, GSTs act as cytosolic carrier proteins that bind hydrophobic compounds such as heme, bilirubin, steroids, and polycyclic hydrocarbons. GST has great importance in biotechnology, as it is a target for vaccine and drug development and biosensors development for xenobiotics. Moreover, the GST tag has been extensively used for protein expression and purification. Until now, biophysical properties of camel liver GST have not been characterized. In the present study we have purified camel (Camelus dromedarius) liver GST to homogeneity in a single step by affinity chromatography with 23.4-fold purification and 60.6% yield. Our results showed that maximal activity of GST was at pH 6.5 and it was stable in the pH range of 5 to 10. The optimum temperature was 55°C and the T_m was 57°C. The chemical chaperone glycerol (3.3 M) was able to protect GST activity and aggregation against thermal denaturation by stabilizing the protein structure at 50 and 57°C, respectively. However, L-arginine (125 mM) did not protect GST against thermal stress. Far-ultraviolet circular dichroism (CD) spectra showed that glycerol protected the secondary structure of GST while L-arginine induced conformational changes under thermal stress. In conclusion, our studies on the GST stability suggest that glycerol works as a stabilizer and L-arginine acts as a destabilizer.     

Purification and crystallization of a schistosomal glutathione S-Transferase

The 26-kDa glutathione S-transferase from Schistosoma japonica (Sj26), a potential antischistosomal vaccine antigen, has been crystallized in an unligated form. Sj26 was recombinantly produced in E. coli without using a glutathione affinity column to facilitate preparation of unligated enzyme. The recombinant protein contains all 218 residues of Sj26^1,2 and an additional 13 residues linked to the C-terminus. Crystals of recombinant Sj26 were obtained by the vapor diffusion method using ammonium sulfate as the precipitant at pH 5.6. The crystals belong to the hexagonal space group P6₃22 with unit cell dimensions a = b = 125.2 Å and c = 72.0 Å and contain one Sj26 monomer per asymmetric unit. A complete native diffraction data set has been obtained to 2.4 Å resolution. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Expression of the Stress-Related Genes for Glutathione S-Transferase and Ascorbate Peroxidase in the Most-Glycinin-Deficient Soybean Cultivar Tousan205 during Seed Maturation

Global analysis of gene expression profiles in most-glycinin-deficient cultivar Tousan205, was performed by DNA microarray analysis. It was confirmed that Tousan205 lacks mRNA expression of three glycinin subunit precursor genes, G1 (A1aB1x), G2 (A2B1a), and G5 (A3B4), and lacks G4 (A5A4B3) protein. Most glycinin subunits were deficient in mature seeds of Tousan205. We compared the gene expression of Tousan205 with those of parent cultivar, Tamahomare, which was used for crossbreeding of Tousan205. As a result, Tousan205 exhibited higher expression of some seed maturation proteins, and stress-related genes such as glutathione S-transferase and ascorbate peroxidase. This result indicates the possibility that the decrease of main storage protein, glycinin causes stress in soybean.     

Glutathione S-Transferase from Bovine Tissues: Relationship Between Multiple Forms,Distribution and Catalytic Activity

Cytosolic functions obtained from various bovine tissues was individually subjected to column isoelectric focusing in order to resolve the glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes. The results showed a large variability in the isoenzyme pattern. All the tissues were found to have neutral-acidic forms of the enzyme, whilst liver, adrenal gland, testicle, lung and kydney contained a conspicuous amount of activity associated with the cationic forms of the enzyme. In spite of these differences, by comparison of the conjugating activity of transferases, we did not find essential inter-organ variations. Conversely, when the same tissue samples were tested for selenium independent glutathione peroxidase activity, using cumene hydroperoxide as second substrate, we observed a higher activity in the organs having the cationic form of glutathione S-transferase.

Responses of Glutathione and Glutathione S-Transferase to Cadmium and Mercury Exposure in Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur) Leaf Discs

Changes in chlorophyll, non-protein thiol and glutathione (GSH) levels, and the activity of glutathione S-transferase (GST) were investigated in cadmium(ll) and mercury(ll) cchloride treated leaf discs of mature pedunculate oak trees (Quercus robur). Both heavy metals caused decreases in chlorophyll content, but mercury was more toxic than cadmium. Cadmium treatments (30–250μiM) resulted in increasing non-protein thiol levels after 3d, but GSH contents decreased. Mercury (1–20μM) led to a concentration-dependent decline in both non-protein thiol and GSH levels. GST activities were not modified significantly by cadmium, but mercury treatments caused a dose- and time-dependent enzyme induction. Both the phytotoxic- and GST-inducing effect of mercury could be prevented by the cysteine precursor L-2-oxo-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid.
