Abstract: | Two forms of glutathione transferase were purified from liver cytosol of the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) by GSH-Sepharose affinity chromatography followed by chromatofocusing. The major enzyme (DL-GST-6.7; 75% of total activity bound to the column) has a pI value of 6.7 and is composed of two subunits of apparent molecular mass 26.5 kDa. The minor enzyme (DL-GST-8.2; 25% of total activity bound to the column) has a pI value of 8.2 and is composed of two subunits of molecular mass 23.5 kDa. Both isoenzymes appear to have blocked N-terminal. The purified proteins were characterized with respect to substrate specificity, CD spectra, TNS binding properties (with 2-toluidinylnaphthalene 6-sulfonate), and immunological reactivity. Partial internal amino acid sequence was also determined for each isoenzyme. The results obtained suggest that DL-GST-6.7 and DL-GST8.2 are novel GSTs belonging, respectively, to theta and alpha classes. |
