Abstract
Two types of 25 000-Mr subunits are present in rat lung glutathione S-transferase I (pI 8.8). These subunits, designated Yc and Yc', are immunologically and functionally distinct from each other. The homodimers YcYc (pI 10.4) and Yc'Yc' (pI 7.6) obtained by hybridization in vitro of the two subunits of glutathione S-transferase I (pI 8.8) were isolated and characterized. Results of these studies indicate that only the Yc subunits express glutathione peroxidase activity and cross-react with the antibodies raised against glutathione S-transferase B (YaYc) or rat liver. The Yc' subunits do not express glutathione peroxidase activity and do not cross-react with the antibodies raised against glutathione S-transferase B of rat liver. The amino acid compositions of these two subunits are also different. These two subunits can also be separated by the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of glutathione S-transferase I (pI 8.8) of rat lung.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
