Glutathione s-transferase, omega-1; gsto1

DESCRIPTION

The glutathione S-transferases (GST; EC 2.5.1.18) are a family of enzymes responsible for the metabolism of a broad range of xenobiotics and carcinogens (Mannervik, 1985). This enzyme catalyzes the reaction of glutathione with a wide variety of organic compounds to form thioethers, a reaction that is sometimes a first step in a detoxification process leading to mercapturic acid formation. Based on amino acid sequence similarities and antibody cross-reactivities, the mammalian cytosolic GSTs are divided into several classes, including alpha (e.g., 138359), mu (e.g., 138350), kappa (602321), theta (e.g., 600436), pi (134660), omega, and zeta (603758). In addition, there is a class of microsomal GSTs (e.g., 138330).

CLONING

By searching an EST database for homologies with GSTZ1 (603758), Board et al. (2000) identified a cDNA encoding GSTO1, the first member of the omega GST class. The deduced 241-amino acid protein has over 70% identity with the rodent omega GST sequences. Of the previously defined GST classes, the omega GSTS are most similar to the zeta class. The omega class GSTs possess a 19- to 20-residue N-terminal extension, not observed in other GSTs, that abuts the C terminus to form a novel structural unit. Northern blot analysis revealed ubiquitous expression of a 0.8-kb GSTO1 transcript, with highest expression in liver, skeletal muscle, and heart, and lowest expression in brain, placenta, and lung. Board et al. (2000) noted that the ubiquitous expression of GSTO1 contrasts with the tissue-specific expression typical of many GSTs. Western blot analysis of cytosolic extracts and recombinant protein showed that GSTO1 is expressed as a 31-kD protein in its monomeric form.

BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES

- Cystral Structure Crystal structure analysis of GSTO1 by Board et al. (2000) demonstrated that GSTO1 has an N-terminal thioredoxin-like domain consisting of a central 4-stranded beta sheet flanked on one side by 2 alpha helices and on the other by a 3-10 helix. The C terminus is composed of 7 alpha helices and makes several H bonds with the N-terminal domain. GSTO1 forms a dimer and adopts the typical GST tertiary structure.

GENE FUNCTION

Functional analyses by Board et al. (2000) showed that GSTO1 lacks activity with most GST substrates but exhibits glutathione-dependent thiol transferase and dehydroascorbate reductase activity characteristic of the glutaredoxins (e.g., GLRX, 600443). Whitbread et al. (2003) stated that GSTO1 also reduces monomethylarsonic acid to monomethylarsonous acid, which is the rate-limiting step in the biotransformation of inorganic arsenic. Kim et al. (2012) found that the Gsto1a and Gsto1b isoforms of Drosophila Gsto1 had distinct physiologic activities. Gsto1b protected flies against oxidative stress, whereas Gsto1a increased mitochondrial ATPase synthase complex assembly and activity by glutathionylation of the ATP synthase beta subunit (ATP5B; 102910). Overexpression of Gsto1a partially reversed the phenotype of parkin (PARK2; 602544) mutant files, including degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and muscle, cellular tubulin (see 602529) accumulation, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Kim et al. (2012) concluded that Drosophila Gsto1 plays a protective role in parkin mutants by regulating mitochondrial ATP synthase activity.

GENE STRUCTURE

Whitbread et al. (2003) determined that the GSTO1 gene contains 6 exons and spans 12.5 kb.
