A group of enzymes of broad specificity. R may be an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; X may be a sulfate, nitrile or halide group. Also catalyses the addition of aliphatic epoxides and arene oxides to glutathione, the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrile, certain isomerization reactions and disulfide interchange.

benoxacor, fenclorim, and fluxofenim do not protect the plant from herbicide injury but induce RNA expression of the glutathione-conjugate transporters encoded by genes AtMRP1, AtMRP2, AtMRP3, and AtMRP4
glutathione conjugation reactions are often freely reversible, formation of unstable glutathionylated natural products in plants, the detection is difficult, overview
overexpressed in bacteria, family members GSTF2 and GSTF3 bind a series of heterocyclic compounds, including lumichrome, harmane, norharmane and indole-3-aldehyde. GSTF2 also selectively binds the indole-derived phytoalexin camalexin, as well as the flavonol quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside, recombinant GSTF2 ligand binding studies and kinetics, overview

gene GSTF9 is not influenced by the treatments with chloroacetanilide herbicides alachlor and metolachlor and the safener benoxacor, and exposure to low temperatures, and is constitutively expressed, overview
gene GSTU26 expression is induced by the chloroacetanilide herbicides alachlor and metolachlor and the safener benoxacor, and after exposure to low temperatures, overview
isothermal titration calorimetry reveals high-affinity binding for GSTF2 and GSTF3, which is enhanced in the presence of glutathione and by the other heterocyclic ligands, and allosteric enhancement in glutathione-conjugating activity
the enzyme belongs to the soluble plant GST superfamily of dimeric enzymes, isozymes classes, overview. Dehydroascorbate reductase and tetrachlorohydroquinone dehalogenase-like proteins also belong to the GST superfamily
isozymes AtGSTs F11, F12, F14 and U14, in which the catalytic serine is replaced by a non-proton abstracting residue, show abolished transferase activity
GST reaction products as metabolic intermediates, e.g. delivering the sullfur in the compounds, possible role for glutathione and GSTs in sulfur incorporation, detailed overview
where GSTs are involved in conjugating acceptors with GSH, there is an absolute requirement for the conserved serine residue within the active site, as it promotes the formation of the thiolate anion of GSH. In some family members this serine is replaced with a cysteine, e.g. promoting disulfide exchange reactions in the GSTL
through alternative splicing, two of these GSTTs form fusions with Myb transcription factor-like domains, discrete localization within the nucleus, possibly serving role in reducing nucleic acid hydroperoxides or in signalling
GSTs functioning in the transport of secondary metabolites, e.g. of the electrophilic oxylipins. Pi class GSTs have assumed such roles in modulating the activity of Jun NH2-terminal kinase through protein-protein interactions. Tau class protein AtGSTU20 is a binding partner of the far-red insensitive 219 protein, such that alterations in its expression give rise to an altered growth phenotype under continuous far-red light. AtGSTF12, in which the catalytic serine is replaced by a non-proton abstracting residue resulting in abolished transferase activity, is necessary for correct anthocyanin pigment formation in developing Arabidopsis seeds, although their function is not related to GSH conjugation. Sometimes, following GST action, S-glutathionylated xenobiotics are imported into the vacuole by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. In the GST family members where the catalytic serine is replace with a cysteine, the GSTs show the ability to co-ordinately bind hydrophobic ligands in close proximity to the reactive thiol of GSH
mutant enzyme inactivation mechanism, molecular modeling, mutations resulting in inactivation of the enzyme are found in or near the binding pocket, whereas mutations resulting in partial inactivation are distant from both substrates, overview
functional expression of 41 GST genes in Escherichia coli strain Tuner(DE3), phylogenetic tree, expression of theta class GSTs as GFP-fusion proteins in Nicotiana benthamiana peroxisomes via the Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfection system. Through alternative splicing, two of these GSTTs form fusions with Myb transcription factor-like domains. Examination of one of these variants showed discrete localization within the nucleus, possibly serving a role in reducing nucleic acid hydroperoxides or in signalling

LITERATURE
methyl isothiocyanate, allyl isothiocyanate, and phenethylisothiocyanate induce the enzyme expression, especially of isozyme GSTU19, inhibit plant growth, and induce severe bleaching in the rosette leaves. The bleaching is concomitant with the elevation of electrolyte leakage and the generation of hydrogen peroxide
