Abstract

The Zeta class of glutathione transferases (GSTs) has only recently been discovered and hence has been poorly characterized. Here we investigate the substrate binding and kinetic mechanisms of the human Zeta class GSTZ1c-1c by means of pre-steady state and steady-state experiments and site-directed mutagenesis. Binding of GSH occurs at a very low rate compared with that observed for the more recently evolved GSTs (Alpha, Mu, and Pi classes). Moreover, the single step binding mechanism observed in this enzyme is reminiscent of that found for the Theta class enzyme, whereas the Alpha, Mu, and Pi classes have adopted a multistep binding mechanism. Replacement of Cys16 with Ala increases the rate of GSH release from the active site causing a 10-fold decrease of affinity toward GSH. Cys16 also plays a crucial role in co-substrate binding; the mutant enzyme is unable to bind the carcinogenic substrate dichloroacetic acid in the absence of GSH. However, both substrate binding and GSH activation are not rate-limiting in catalysis. A peculiarity of the hGSTZ1c-1c is the half-site activation of bound GSH. This suggests a primitive monomer-monomer interaction that, in the recently diverged GSTP1-1, gives rise to a sophisticated cooperative mechanism that preserves the catalytic efficiency of this GST under stress conditions.

Cytosolic glutathione transferases (GSTs, 1The abbreviations used are: GST, glutathione S-transferase; TCHQ, tetrachlorohydroquinone; DCA, dichloroacetic acid. EC 2.5.1.18) are a family of detoxifying enzymes characterized by similar tertiary structures and active site topologies (1Jakoby W.B. Habig W.H. Jakoby W.B. Enzymatic Basis of Detoxification. 2.

GSTs are probably evolved from thioredoxin and glutaredoxin enzymes; in fact, the βαβαββα motif of the N-terminal domain of all cytosolic GSTs superimposes well with the structures of the redox enzymes that are characterized by one or two cysteines in the active site essential for catalysis (3Martin J.

A few GSTs still show a cysteine residue in or in close proximity of the active site, and their role has been the object of several studies. In particular, the bacterial GSTB1-1 and the human GSTO1-1 show a GSH molecule in mixed disulfide with the active site cysteine (6Rossjohn J. Polekhina G. Feil S. Allocati N. Masulli M. Di Ilio C.

These enzymes, beside the classical GST activity, catalyze thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase reactions, so they could represent a transition structure between an ancestral redox enzyme and a GST-conjugating enzyme (8Caccuri A.M.

In the more recently diverged Alpha, Mu, and Pi class GSTs, the cysteine residues involved in the redox catalysis have been lost. Nevertheless, in GSTP1-1, Cys47 is an important residue lining the G-site. Cys47 is not essential for catalysis of GSTP1-1, but it is highly reactive and forms a peculiar ion pair with Lys54 that is responsible for the high affinity of the enzyme for the substrate GSH. Substitution of Cys47 with Ala decreases the affinity for GSH. In addition this substitution triggers a positive cooperativity for the binding of GSH, and this provided the first indication for a structural intersubunit communication in the GST super-family (10Ricci G. Lo Bello M. Caccuri A.M. Pastore A. Nuccetelli M. Parker M.W. Federici G. J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270: 1243-1248Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (92) Google Scholar). One of the most recently discovered GSTs is the Zeta class enzyme (GSTZ1-1), which shows very low or no activity toward the classical GST substrates (11Board P.G. Baker R.T. Chelvanayagam G. Jermin L.S. Biochem. J. 1997; 328: 929-935Crossref PubMed Scopus (483) Google Scholar). GSTZ1-1 is characterized by two unusual GSH-dependent reactions as follows: (i) the isomerization of maleylacetoacetate to fumarylacetoacetate, a crucial step in the tyrosine metabolism; (ii) the biotransformation of α-haloacids such as dichloroacetic acid (DCA), a potential carcinogenic contaminant of chlorinated drinking water, which is dehalogenated to glyoxylic acid (12Lantum H.B.M. Board P.G. Anders M.W. Chem. Res. Toxicol. 2002; 15: 957-963Crossref PubMed Scopus (8) Google Scholar, 13Tong Z. Board P.G. Anders M.W. Biochem. J. 1998; 331: 371-374Crossref PubMed Scopus (133) Google Scholar). The Zeta class GST is widely distributed in nature and contains a characteristic motif (SSCX(W/H)RVIAL) in the N-terminal region (11Board P.G. Baker R.T. Chelvanayagam G. Jermin L.S. Biochem. J. 1997; 328: 929-935Crossref PubMed Scopus (483) Google Scholar). Among these residues, the first three (Ser14-Ser15-Cys16) line the active site pocket and have been investigated recently for their possible role in catalysis. In particular, the crystal structure of the human variant GSTZ1a-1a shows the sulfur atom of Cys16 close to the sulfur atom of GSH (14Polekhina G. Board P.G. Blackburn A.C. Parker M.W. Biochemistry. 2001; 40: 1567-1576Crossref PubMed Scopus (103) Google Scholar). It has been shown that C16A mutant is active with different substrates but displays a higher Km value for GSH. Thus, Cys16 seems to play a role in a proper binding of GSH rather than a direct role in catalysis (15Board P.G. Taylor M.C. Coggan M. Parker M.W. Lantum H.B. Anders M.W. Biochem. J. 2003; 374: 731-737Crossref PubMed Scopus (33) Google Scholar). Four polymorphic variants of the human GSTZ1-1 have been detected in the Caucasian population resulting from mutations at positions 32, 42, and 82 (16Blackburn A.C. Tzeng H.-F. Anders M.W. Board P.G. Pharmacogenetics. 2000; 10: 49-57Crossref PubMed Scopus (100) Google Scholar, 17Blackburn A.C. Coggan M. Tzeng H.-F. Lantum H.B. Polekhina G. Parker M.W. Anders M.W. Board P.G.

In the present study, binding and kinetic mechanisms of the most abundant variant, the human GSTZ1c-1c, have been carefully investigated using DCA and GSH as substrates. Moreover, binding and kinetic properties of its C16A mutant have been determined by disclosing multiple roles for the Cys16 residue. Materials—GSH, DCA, NADH; and lactic dehydrogenase were obtained from Sigma; nickel-agarose matrix (nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid) from and of GSTZ1c-1c and C16A GSTZ1c-1c and C16A mutant enzymes were in as and were by nickel-agarose as (16Blackburn A.C.
