Are the histidine residues of glutathione S-transferase important in catalysis? An assessment by 13C NMR spectroscopy and site-specific mutagenesis.

Abstract excerpt

To test the proposition that a histidine residue is essential in the catalytic mechanism of glutathione S-transferase, rat liver isoenzyme 3-3 specifically labeled with [ring-2-13C]histidine was prepared. The 13C NMR spectrum of the labeled enzyme revealed four resonances corresponding to the 4 histidine residues in the mu gene class type 3 subunit. Titration of the four resonances in the range of pH 4-9 both in...
