The plant tau class glutathione transferases (GSTs) perform diverse catalytic as well as non-catalytic roles in detoxification of xenobiotics, prevention of oxidative damage and endogenous metabolism. In the present work, the tau class isoenzyme GSTU2-2 from Glycine max (GmGSTU2-2) was
Plant glutathione transferases (GSTs) play a key role in the metabolism of various xenobiotics. In this report, the catalytic mechanism of the tau class GSTU4-4 isoenzyme from Glycine max (GmGSTU4-4) was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis and steady-state kinetic analysis. The catalytic
Cytosolic GSTs (glutathione transferases) are a multifunctional group of enzymes widely distributed in Nature and involved in cellular detoxification processes. The three-dimensional structure of GmGSTU4-4 (Glycine max GST Tau 4-4) complexed with GSH was determined by the molecular replacement
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) from the tau class (GSTU) are unique to plants and have important roles in stress tolerance and the detoxification of herbicides in crops and weeds. A fluorodifen-induced GST isoezyme (GmGSTU4-4) belonging to the tau class was purified from Glycine max by affinity
GSH is able to reduce soybean (Glycine max) ferryl-leghaemoglobin [Lb(IV)] formed by the reaction of ferric or ferrous Lb with H2O2; in both cases, ferric Lb is obtained and GSH is incapable of reducing ferric Lb to ferrous Lb. Furthermore, the addition of GSH before H2O2 to ferric Lb prevents side
BACKGROUND
Glutathione transferases (GSTs, EC. 2.5.1.18) form a large group of multifunctional enzymes that are involved in the metabolism and inactivation of a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic compound as well as in cell regulation and response to several biotic and abiotic
The plant tau class glutathione transferases (GSTs) play important roles in biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in crops and weeds. In this study, we systematically examined the catalytic and structural features of a GST isoenzyme from Glycine max (GmGSTU10-10). GmGSTU10-10 is a unique isoenzyme in
Unlike animals which accumulate glutathione (gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) alone as their major thiol antioxidant, several crops synthesize alternative forms of glutathione by varying the carboxy residue. The molecular basis of this variation is not well understood, but the substrate
In plant immune responses, reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signaling molecules that activate defense pathways against pathogens, especially following resistance (R) gene-mediated pathogen recognition. Glutathione (GSH), an antioxidant and redox regulator, participates in the removal of hydrogen
The possible contribution of antioxidants in the improvement of stress tolerance induced by the hydroxylamine derivative BRX-156 was studied in two thermophilic crops, soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and maize (Zea mays L.) both during germination and at the seedling stage. The most effective
OBJECTIVE
Water is an increasingly scarce resource that limits crop productivity in many parts of the world, and the frequency and severity of drought are predicted to increase as a result of climate change. Improving tolerance to drought stress is therefore important for maximizing future crop
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection was used to study thiol metabolism in legume nodules. Glutathione (GSH) was the major non-protein thiol in all indeterminate nodules examined, as well as in the determinate nodules of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), whereas
Although lentils (Lens culinaris L) contain several bioactive compounds that have been linked to the prevention of cancer, the in vivo chemopreventive ability of lentils against chemically induced colorectal cancer has not been examined. Our present study examined the hypothesis that lentils could
Transcriptional activation of the soybean (Glycine max) GH2/4 gene (also referred to as Gmhsp26-A) and increase in abundance of the GH2/4 mRNA (also referred to as pCE54) have been previously shown to occur following treatment of soybean seedlings with auxins, nonauxin analogs, heavy metals, and a
The diphenyl ether herbicide fomesafen can be used selectively in soybean (Glycine max) due to its rapid detoxification by tau class glutathione transferases (GmGSTUs) which preferentially utilize the endogenous thiol homoglutathione (hGSH) as cosubstrate. Soybean cDNAs encoding GmGSTU21, which is
