Molecular and biochemical characterization of a plant-like iota-class glutathione S-transferase from the halotolerant cyanobacterium Halothece sp. PCC7418. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Scientists found a special type of enzyme called iota-class GST in a type of bacteria that can survive extreme conditions.
  • They studied the genes and discovered that one enzyme (H0729) works really well to break down harmful chemicals better than others.
  • This research helps us understand how these bacteria protect themselves from stress, like too much salt, by using their enzymes effectively.

Article Abstract

Aims: This study identifies a unique glutathione S-transferase (GST) in extremophiles using genome, phylogeny, bioinformatics, functional characterization, and RNA sequencing analysis.

Methods And Results: Five putative GSTs (H0647, H0729, H1478, H3557, and H3594) were identified in Halothece sp. PCC7418. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that H0647, H1478, H0729, H3557, and H3594 are distinct GST classes. Of these, H0729 was classified as an iota-class GST, encoding a high molecular mass GST protein with remarkable features. The protein secondary structure of H0729 revealed the presence of a glutaredoxin (Grx) Cys-Pro-Tyr-Cys (C-P-Y-C) motif that overlaps with the N-terminal domain and harbors a topology similar to the thioredoxin (Trx) fold. Interestingly, recombinant H0729 exhibited a high catalytic efficiency for both glutathione (GSH) and 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB), with catalytic efficiencies that were 155- and 32-fold higher, respectively, compared to recombinant H3557. Lastly, the Halothece gene expression profiles suggested that antioxidant and phase II detoxification encoding genes are crucial in response to salt stress.

Conclusion: Iota-class GST was identified in cyanobacteria. This GST exhibited a high catalytic efficiency toward xenobiotic substrates. Our findings shed light on a diversified evolution of GST in cyanobacteria and provide functional dynamics of the genes encoding the enzymatic antioxidant and detoxification systems under abiotic stresses.

Background: Environmental pollution, including exposure to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), poses serious health risks, particularly through oxidative stress, which may lead to neurodegenerative damage. Antioxidants, especially those found in natural products, show potential in mitigating these toxic effects. Pomegranate juice (PJ), rich in bioactive phytochemicals, has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.
