Active site serine promotes stabilization of the reactive glutathione thiolate in rat glutathione transferase T2-2. Evidence against proposed sulfatase activity of the corresponding human enzyme.

Abstract excerpt

Ser(11) in rat glutathione transferase T2-2 is important for stabilization of the reactive enzyme-bound glutathione thiolate in the reaction with 1-menaphthyl sulfate. The S11A mutation increased the pK(a) value for the pH dependence of the rate constant for pre-steady-state product formation, from 5.7 to 7.9. This pH dependence is proposed to reflect titration of enzyme-bound glutathione thiol. Further, the...
