Glyoxalase ii; glo2

DESCRIPTION

Glyoxalase II (EC 3.1.2.6), otherwise known as hydroxyacyl-glutathione hydrolase, converts the intermediate substrate S-lactoyl-glutathione to reduced glutathione and D-lactate (summary by Honey and Shows, 1981).

CLONING

Ridderstrom et al. (1996) cloned a cDNA coding for glyoxalase II from human liver. The 1,011-bp sequence contains a full-length coding region of 780 basepairs, corresponding to a 260-amino acid polypeptide. The calculated molecular mass of the protein is 28,861 Da. They expressed the gene in bacteria and the recombinant enzyme showed a kinetic behavior indistinguishable from that of the native enzyme.

MAPPING

By study of somatic cell hybrids, Honey and Shows (1981) concluded that the gene for glyoxalase II is on chromosome 16. Mulley and Callen (1986) confirmed the assignment of HAGH to chromosome 16 by studies of a human-mouse hybrid panel. They found that both HAGH and phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP; 172280) were present only in those cell lines containing 16p13. Mulley et al. (1990) assigned the HAGH locus to 16p13.3 by electrophoretic detection of enzymes from a mouse/human somatic cell panel, the members of which carried portions of human chromosome 16 with precisely defined breakpoints.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

Board (1980) described rare polymorphism of glyoxalase II, observed only in a Micronesian population, in which a new variant allele had a frequency of 0.016. In the heterozygotes, the electrophoretic pattern was a double band, suggesting that the structure of glyoxalase II is monomeric. The enzyme shows a high degree of polymorphism in anthropoid primates (Board et al., 1981). Data on gene frequencies of allelic variants were tabulated by Roychoudhury and Nei (1988). ...
