  2. Current themes • GSTs and intracellular signalling pathways • MAPEG and eicosanoid signalling • Redox regulation (Protein S-glutathionylation) • Oxidative stress protection • Drug resistance in tumors • Chemo-prevention • Tools for bioengineering

  3. THREE SUPERFAMILIES • SOLUBLE GLUTATHIONE-TRANSFERASES (25 kDa, dimers) aerobic organisms • MEMBRANE BOUND GLUTATHIONE- TRANSFERASEs (17 kDa, trimer) aerobic organisms • FOSFOMYCIN RESISTANCE PROTEIN (Fos A) (16 kDa, dimer) bacterial

  4. FOSFOMYCIN RESISTANCE (Fos A) • Bacterial (plasmid or chromosomal) • Specific • Fosfomycin is a stable! epoxide that inhibits cell wall-synthesis in bacteria Fosfomycin (antibiotic)

  5. CYTOSOLIC GLUTATHIONE TRANSFERASES • SEVERAL FAMILIES: alfa, mu, pi, theta, sigma, zeta, omega, beta, phi (incl. ≥1) Monomers: Form dimers: Within a family homo- and heterodimers

  7. Human soluble GSTs Enzyme Nomenclature: GSTP1-1 or GSTA1-2.

  8. Tissue-distribution (human) 1, Standard 2, brain 3, heart 4, kidney 5, liver 6, lung 7, pancreas 8, prostate 9, muscle 10, intestine 11, spleen 12, testis Sherratt et al., Biochem. J. (1997) 326, 837

  9. DIMER-STRUCTURE H-site G-site

  10. GSH binding

  11. GSH GS- +H+ OH Tyrosine or Serine (backbone amide?) Making GSH more reactive Arg+ pKaGSH lowered from 9 to ≈ 6 in the enzyme GS- thiolate is 109 times more reactive than the protonated thiol (Thiolate/CDNB ≈ 5 M-1 s-1; Selenolate/CDNB ≈ 23 M-1 s-1)

  12. GSH is bound in an Extended Conformation where all possible interactions are used GS- thiolate Tyr-OH

  13. Cl GS NO2 NO2 GSH + + HCl NO2 NO2 An model second substrate and convenient assay

  15. The H-site

  16. Aflatoxin (carcinogen) BCNU (cytostatic) Atrazine (herbicide) Multiple Functions

  17. Reactive compounds are common in biology • Cyanobacteria: microcystine • Mustard oil: allylisothiocyanate GSH

  18. Reactive compounds are formed continuously in the cell Lipid peroxidation gives rise to: Hydroxyalkenals: Hydroperoxides:

  19. N-Acetylation g-L-Glu-L-Cys-Gly L-Cys-Gly L-Cys N-Ac-L-Cys SX SX SX SX g-L-Glu Gly Conjugate export and processing • GSH conjugates are exported out of the cell by membrane transporters called MDR (multidrug resistance proteins) • Conjugates are often processed to mercapturic acids before excretion in urine or bile

  20. Knock-outs • GSTP null mice are more susceptible to skin and lung cancer • GSTA4 null mice are more susceptible to bacterial infection and oxidative stress • GSTBeta null bacteria are more susceptible to oxidative stress

  21. Genetic variation in human glutathione transferase Mu English 45% Japanese 48% Indian 35% Micronesia 100% Chinese 58% French 43% Scots 62% % of population that are homozygous deleted for the gene. Persons that lack the gene are more susceptible to certain forms of cancer.

  22. Drug resistance BCNU (cytostatic drug) Up-regulation of GST seen in many tumours could contribute to resistance

  23. GST protection H2O2 is not a substrate for GTSs Yang et al JBC276, 19220

  24. GSTP GSTP knockout leads to increased c-Jun signalling= increased proliferation GSTP Stress (H2O2) GSTP GSTP P C-Jun GSTP JNK JNK

  47. CAPACITY: 0.2 mM Glutathione transferase in liver + 5 mM GSH = 25 turnovers empties the liver of GSH (e.g. paracetamol overdose) Theoretically this can happen in less than a second!!!! THROUGHPUT: Humans excrete 0.1 mmol glutathione conjugates per day = Equal to one turnover per enzyme every second day CONCLUSION Glutathione dependent protection has to be highly abundant and efficient to serve as an interception system Capacity and throughput

  48. Glutathione transferases • Highly abundant and diverse protection from reactive electrophiles • New functions in cell signalling and redox processes • Dynamic regulation • Defined chemical transformations of important endogenous mediators and metabolites • Relevance to inflammation, drug development, drug resistance, anti-carcinogenesis, antibiotic resistance and agriculture.
