Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases and Other Proteins with a Thioredoxin fold; The thioredoxin (TRX)-like superfamily is a large, diverse group of proteins containing a TRX fold. Many members contain a classic TRX domain with a redox active CXXC motif. They function as protein disulfide oxidoreductases (PDOs), altering the redox state of target proteins via the reversible oxidation of their active site dithiol. The PDO members of this superfamily include the families of TRX, protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), tlpA, glutaredoxin, NrdH redoxin, and bacterial Dsb proteins (DsbA, DsbC, DsbG, DsbE, DsbDgamma). Members of the superfamily that do not function as PDOs but contain a TRX-fold domain include phosducins, peroxiredoxins, glutathione (GSH) peroxidases, SCO proteins, GSH transferases (GST, N-terminal domain), arsenic reductases, TRX-like ferredoxins and calsequestrin, among others.

GST_N family, Class Alpha subfamily; GSTs are cytosolic dimeric proteins involved in cellular detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic alkylating agents, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress. The GST fold contains an N-terminal TRX-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain, with an active site located in a cleft between the two domains. The class Alpha subfamily is composed of eukaryotic GSTs which can form homodimer and heterodimers. There are at least six types of class Alpha GST subunits in rats, four of which have human counterparts, resulting in many possible isoenzymes with different activities, tissue distribution and substrate specificities. Human GSTA1-1 and GSTA2-2 show high GSH peroxidase activity. GSTA3-3 catalyzes the isomerization of intermediates in steroid hormone biosynthesis. GSTA4-4 preferentially catalyzes the GSH conjugation of alkenals.

C-terminal, alpha helical domain of Class Sigma-like Glutathione S-transferases; Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, Class Sigma_like; composed of GSTs belonging to class Sigma and similar proteins, including GSTs from class Mu, Pi, and Alpha. GSTs are cytosolic dimeric proteins involved in cellular detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic alkylating agents, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins, and products of oxidative stress. The GST fold contains an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain, with an active site located in a cleft between the two domains. GSH binds to the N-terminal domain while the hydrophobic substrate occupies a pocket in the C-terminal domain. Vertebrate class Sigma GSTs are characterized as GSH-dependent hematopoietic prostaglandin (PG) D synthases and are responsible for the production of PGD2 by catalyzing the isomerization of PGH2. The functions of PGD2 include the maintenance of body temperature, inhibition of platelet aggregation, bronchoconstriction, vasodilation, and mediation of allergy and inflammation. Other class Sigma-like members include the class II insect GSTs, S-crystallins from cephalopods, nematode-specific GSTs, and 28-kDa GSTs from parasitic flatworms. Drosophila GST2 is associated with indirect flight muscle and exhibits preference for catalyzing GSH conjugation to lipid peroxidation products, indicating an anti-oxidant role. S-crystallin constitutes the major lens protein in cephalopod eyes and is responsible for lens transparency and proper refractive index. The 28-kDa GST from Schistosoma is a multifunctional enzyme, exhibiting GSH transferase, GSH peroxidase, and PGD2 synthase activities, and may play an important role in host-parasite interactions. Members also include novel GSTs from the fungus Cunninghamella elegans, designated as class Gamma, and from the protozoan Blepharisma japonicum, described as a light-inducible GST.

C-terminal, alpha helical domain of Class Pi Glutathione S-transferases; Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, Class Pi subfamily; GSTs are cytosolic dimeric proteins involved in cellular detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic alkylating agents, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins, and products of oxidative stress. The GST fold contains an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain, with an active site located in a cleft between the two domains. GSH binds to the N-terminal domain while the hydrophobic substrate occupies a pocket in the C-terminal domain. Class Pi GST is a homodimeric eukaryotic protein. The human GSTP1 is mainly found in erythrocytes, kidney, placenta and fetal liver. It is involved in stress responses and in cellular proliferation pathways as an inhibitor of JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase). Following oxidative stress, monomeric GSTP1 dissociates from JNK and dimerizes, losing its ability to bind JNK and causing an increase in JNK activity, thereby promoting apoptosis. GSTP1 is expressed in various tumors and is the predominant GST in a wide range of cancer cells. It has been implicated in the development of multidrug-resistant tumors.

C-terminal, alpha helical domain of Class Mu Glutathione S-transferases; Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, Class Mu subfamily; GSTs are cytosolic dimeric proteins involved in cellular detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic alkylating agents, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins, and products of oxidative stress. The GST fold contains an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain, with an active site located in a cleft between the two domains. GSH binds to the N-terminal domain while the hydrophobic substrate occupies a pocket in the C-terminal domain. The class Mu subfamily is composed of eukaryotic GSTs. In rats, at least six distinct class Mu subunits have been identified, with homologous genes in humans for five of these subunits. Class Mu GSTs can form homodimers and heterodimers, giving a large number of possible isoenzymes that can be formed, all with overlapping activities but different substrate specificities. They are the most abundant GSTs in human liver, skeletal muscle and brain, and are believed to provide protection against diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Some isoenzymes have additional specific functions. Human GST M1-1 acts as an endogenous inhibitor of ASK1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) thereby suppressing ASK1-mediated cell death. Human GSTM2-2 and 3-3 have been identified as prostaglandin E2 synthases in the brain and may play crucial roles in temperature and sleep-wake regulation.

C-terminal, alpha helical domain of fungal Ure2p Glutathione S-transferases; Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, Ure2p subfamily; composed of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ure2p and related fungal proteins. Ure2p is a regulator for nitrogen catabolism in yeast. It represses the expression of several gene products involved in the use of poor nitrogen sources when rich sources are available. A transmissible conformational change of Ure2p results in a prion called [Ure3], an inactive, self-propagating and infectious amyloid. Ure2p displays a GST fold containing an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain. The N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain is sufficient to induce the [Ure3] phenotype and is also called the prion domain of Ure2p. In addition to its role in nitrogen regulation, Ure2p confers protection to cells against heavy metal ion and oxidant toxicity, and shows glutathione (GSH) peroxidase activity. GSTs are cytosolic dimeric proteins involved in cellular detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of GSH with a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic alkylating agents, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress. GSTs also show GSH peroxidase activity and are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The GST active site is located in a cleft between the N- and C-terminal domains. GSH binds to the N-terminal domain while the hydrophobic substrate occupies a pocket in the C-terminal domain.

In addition, GSTs also show GSH peroxidase activity and are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This family, also referred to as soluble GSTs, is the largest family of GSH transferases and is only distantly related to the mitochondrial GSTs (GSTK). Soluble GSTs bear no structural similarity to microsomal GSTs (MAPEG family) and display additional activities unique to their group, such as catalyzing thiolysis, reduction and isomerization of certain compounds. The GST fold contains an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain, with an active site located in a cleft between the two domains. GSH binds to the N-terminal domain while the hydrophobic substrate occupies a pocket in the C-terminal domain. Based on sequence similarity, different classes of GSTs have been identified, which display varying tissue distribution, substrate specificities and additional specific activities. In humans, GSTs display polymorphisms which may influence individual susceptibility to diseases such as cancer, arthritis, allergy and sclerosis. Some GST family members with non-GST functions include glutaredoxin 2, the CLIC subfamily of anion channels, prion protein Ure2p, crystallins, metaxins, stringent starvation protein A, and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

Glutathione S-transferase C-terminal-like, alpha helical domain of the Gamma subunit of Elongation Factor 1B and similar proteins; Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, Gamma subunit of Elongation Factor 1B (EF1Bgamma) subfamily; EF1Bgamma is part of the eukaryotic translation elongation factor-1 (EF1) complex which plays a central role in the elongation cycle during protein biosynthesis. EF1 consists of two functionally distinct units, EF1A and EF1B. EF1A catalyzes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal A site concomitant with the hydrolysis of GTP. The resulting inactive EF1A:GDP complex is recycled to the active GTP form by the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor EF1B, a complex composed of at least two subunits, alpha and gamma. Metazoan EFB1 contain a third subunit, beta. The EF1B gamma subunit contains a GST fold consisting of an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain. The GST-like domain of EF1Bgamma is believed to mediate the dimerization of the EF1 complex, which in yeast is a dimer of the heterotrimer EF1A:EF1Balpha:EF1Bgamma. In addition to its role in protein biosynthesis, EF1Bgamma may also display other functions. The recombinant rice protein has been shown to possess GSH conjugating activity. The yeast EF1Bgamma binds to membranes in a calcium dependent manner and is also part of a complex that binds to the msrA (methionine sulfoxide reductase) promoter suggesting a function in the regulation of its gene expression. Also included in this subfamily is the GST_C-like domain at the N-terminus of human valyl-tRNA synthetase (ValRS) and its homologs. Metazoan ValRS forms a stable complex with Elongation Factor-1H (EF-1H), and together, they catalyze consecutive steps in protein biosynthesis, tRNA aminoacylation and its transfer to EF.
