Mouse liver glutathione S-transferase YfYf (Pi class) reacts with [14C]ethacrynic acid to form a covalent adduct with a stoichiometry of 1 mol per mol of subunit. Proteolytic digestion of the enzyme-[14C]ethacrynic acid adduct with V8 protease produced an 11 kDa

Glutathione-S-transferase T1 (GSTT1-1) is a major isoenzyme for the biotransformation of halomethanes. The enzyme activity is located, among other places, in human liver and erythrocytes and is subject to a genetic polymorphism. Metabolism of the halomethanes via GSTT1-1 yields S-methylglutathione

Tentacle ball formation (TBF) in Hydra elicited by S-methylglutathione (GSM) was modulated by a number of biologically active peptides. Hydra fed on Artemia, which had been hatched in a common salt solution supplemented with LiCl and ZnCl(2), easily induced TBF

Within minutes, brief treatment with trypsin potentiated tentacle ball formation in Hydra japonica, a new behavioral response to reduced glutathione. With the potentiation of this behavioral response, new glutathione-binding proteins were immediately detected after the trypsin treatment of live Hydra

The dependence of phytochelatin synthase (gamma-glutamylcysteine dipeptidyltranspeptidase (PCS), EC ) on heavy metals for activity has invariably been interpreted in terms of direct metal binding to the enzyme. Here we show, through analyses of immunopurified, recombinant PCS1 from Arabidopsis thaliana
