Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) comprise a diverse superfamily of enzymes found in organisms from all kingdoms of life. GSTs are involved in diverse processes, notably small-molecule biosynthesis or detoxification, and are frequently also used in protein engineering studies or as biotechnology tools. Here, we report the high-resolution X-ray structure of Atu5508 from the pathogenic soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens (atGST1). Through use of comparative sequence and structural analysis of the GST superfamily, we identified local sequence and structural signatures, which allowed us to distinguish between different GST classes. This approach enables GST classification based on structure, without requiring additional biochemical or immunological data. Consequently, analysis of the atGST1 crystal structure suggests a new GST class, distinct from previously characterized GSTs, which would make it an attractive target for further biochemical studies.
谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GSTs)是一个多样化的酶超家族,存在于所有生命王国的生物体中。GSTs参与多种过程,特别是小分子生物合成或解毒,并且经常也用于蛋白质工程研究或作为生物技术工具。在这里,我们报告了来自致病土壤细菌根癌农杆菌(atGST1)的Atu5508的高分辨率X射线结构。通过对GST超家族进行比较序列和结构分析,我们确定了局部序列和结构特征,这使我们能够区分不同的GST类别。这种方法能够基于结构对GST进行分类,而无需额外的生化或免疫学数据。因此,对atGST1晶体结构的分析表明存在一个不同于先前已表征的GST的新GST类别,这将使其成为进一步生化研究的有吸引力的目标。
