A novel Theta class glutathione transferase (GST) isoenzyme from mouse termed mGSTT3 has been identified by analysis of the expressed sequence tag database. The gene encoding mGSTT3 is clustered with the mGSTT1 and mGSTT2 genes on chromosome 10 and has an exon/intron structure that is similar to that of the other Theta class genes. mGSTT3 is expressed strongly in the liver and to a decreasing extent in the kidney and testis. Recombinant mGSTT3-3 expressed in Escherichia coli had a substrate-specificity profile that differed significantly from that of GSTT1-1 and GSTT2-2 isoenzymes. A molecular model of mGSTT3 suggested that, in comparison with GSTT2, a decrease in volume of the hydrophobic substrate-binding site and the loss of the sulphate-binding pocket prevents its use of the GSTT2 substrate 1-menaphthyl sulphate.

Background And Aims: The lack of therapeutic response characterizes treatment-resistant depression despite undergoing at least two adequate monotherapy trials with medications from distinct pharmacologic classes. The inability to attain remission in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) is a significant issue of concern within public health. Therefore, the management of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) poses significant obstacles for both patients and healthcare professionals.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) plays a critical role in detoxifying various chemical compounds and is essential for host adaptation and pesticide resistance in insects. To understand the genetic structure of the GST family and the expression patterns among three haplotypes of Aphis gossypii, we conducted studies using genome annotation files and RNA-seq data. We identified 11 GSTs in A.

Introduction: Multitasking during flights leads to a high mental workload, which is detrimental for maintaining task performance. Electroencephalography (EEG) power spectral analysis based on frequency-band oscillations and microstate analysis based on global brain network activation can be used to evaluate mental workload. This study explored the effects of a high mental workload during simulated flight multitasking on EEG frequency-band power and microstate parameters.

Article Synopsis
- Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are important enzymes in plants that influence growth, development, and stress responses, but their functions are not fully understood.
- This research identified and categorized 171 GST genes in rye into four subfamilies, with the Tau subfamily being the largest, and discovered significant evolutionary events among these genes.
- The study highlights the expression of GST genes across different tissues and stresses, identifying ScGST39 as a key candidate for enhancing plant stress tolerance.
