Crystal structure of Ochrobactrum anthropi glutathione transferase Cys10Ala mutant with glutathione bound at the H-site
Overview
The role of the evolutionarily conserved residue Cys10 in Ochrobactrum, anthropi glutathione transferase (OaGST) has been examined by replacing it, with an alanine. A double mutant C10A/S11A was also prepared. The effect, of the replacements on the coniugating and thiotransferase activities, and, on the thermal and chemical stability of the enzyme was analyzed. Our data, support the view that in OaGST, in contrast with other beta class GSTs, that display significant differences in the glutathione-binding site, Cys10 is a key residue for glutathione coniugating activity. Furthermore, analysis of the OaGST-Cys10Ala structure, crystallized in the presence of, glutathione, reveals that this mutation causes a switch between the, high-affinity G-site and a low-affinity H-site where hydrophobic, cosubstrates bind and where we observe the presence of an unexpected, glutathione.
