The N-terminal amino acid sequence of glutathione transferase, Pm-GST-6.0, purified from Proteus mirabilis [(1988) Biochem.

No obvious homology with the sequences of alpha, pi and mu classes of mammalian glutathione transferases as well as with those of plant glutathione transferases has been noted. These results suggest that the classification so far adopted for glutathione transferases cannot be extended to the bacterial enzyme.

Abstract

No obvious homology with the sequences of alpha, pi and mu classes of mammalian glutathione transferases as well as with those of plant glutathione transferases has been noted. These results suggest that the classification so far adopted for glutathione transferases cannot be extended to the bacterial enzyme.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
