28KDA GLUTATHIONE S-TRANSFERASE FROM SCHISTOSOMA HAEMATOBIUM
Overview
Schistomiasis is a debilitating parasitic disease which affects 200, million people, causing life-threatening complications in 10% of the, patients. This paper reports the crystal structure of the Schistosoma, haematobium 28 kDa glutathione S-transferase, a multifunctional enzyme, involved in host-parasite interactions and presently considered as a, promising vaccine candidate against schistosomiasis. The structures of the, GSH-free enzyme, as well as the partially (approximately 40%) and almost, fully (approximately 80%) GSH-saturated enzyme, exhibit a unique feature, absent in previous GST structures, concerning the crucial and invariant, Tyr10 side chain which occupies two alternative positions. The canonical, conformer, which allows an H-bond to be formed between the side chain, ... [(full description)]
