evolution
-
in eukaryotes gamma -glutamylcysteine synthetase and glutathione synthetase, EC 6.3.2.3, activities are encoded by two distinct enzymes In some prokaryotes, such as Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae, separate enzymes exist for these two reactions. However, in some prokaryotes, such as Streptococcus agalactiae, Pasteurella multicoda and Listeria monocytogenes, both of these activities are encoded by a single bifunctional enzyme, GshF. Evolution of gamma-GCS has occurred by convergent evolution in three different lineages with no significant sequence similarities between the lineages, the Escherichia coli enzyme belongs to lineage I
evolution
Synechocystis GCL is part of the plant-like GCL family, the Synechocystis enzyme lacks the redox regulation associated with the plant enzymes and functions as a monomeric protein, indicating that evolution of redox regulation occurs later in the green lineage
malfunction
-
using GCLC knockout murine embryonic fibroblasts, addition of cysteine to catalytic subunit GCLC null cells results in a marked decrease in regulatory subunit GCLM mRNA levels despite the absence of GSH
malfunction
-
erythrocytes from gclm-/- mice show greatly reduced intracellular glutathione. Prolonged incubation results in complete lysis of gclm-/- erythrocytes, which can be reversed by exogenous delivery of the antioxidant Trolox. Phenylhydrazine-induced oxidative stress in glcm-/- causes dramatically increased hemolysis, markedly larger accumulations of injured erythrocytes in the spleen, erythrocyte-derived pigment hemosiderin in kidney tubules, and diminished kidney function compared to wild-type mice, phenotype, overview. Regulatory subunit GCLM-deficient erythrocytes are more prone to Ca2+-dependent suicidal cell death ex vivo. Without additional oxidative stress, the mutant animals are able to survive by slightly ramping up their generation of new erythrocytes
metabolism
-
the regulation of GCL, especially the catalytic subunit, with stress may be compromised in aging muscles. In aging muscles with 14 days of hind-limb unloading, failure to maintain the accelerated GCL catalytic subunit production and GCL activity, are associated with the GSH depletion
metabolism
-
biosynthesis of GSH occurs by two sequential ATP-dependent enzymatic steps. The first enzyme, gamma -glutamylcysteine synthetase ligates glutamate and cysteine to yield gamma -glutamylcysteine. Glutathione synthetase, EC 6.3.2.3, the second enzyme, then catalyses the addition of glycine to yield glutathione
physiological function
-
mice lacking the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit show an increase in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury and apoptosis in ischaemic myocardium. A decrease in mitochondrial glutathione levels in ischaemic myocardium is more pronounced in mice lacking the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit than in control. The ESR signal intensity of the dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide-hydroxyl radical adducts in ischaemic myocardium is higher in mice lacking the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit than in control. Hypoxia-reoxygenation induces greater mitochondrial damage in cultured cardiomyocytes from mice lacking the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit
physiological function
in a strain lacking GshA activity, diamide, a thiol-specific oxidant, significantly inhibits the growth of cells in comparison to those of the wild type. In contrast, 1.0 mM paraquat, 0.1 mM t-butyl hydroperoxide, 0.5 mM hydrogen peroxide, and 0.01 mM menadione have a much less pronounced effect on growth
physiological function
-
model to explain adenosine triphosphate depletion during cystinosis. In the absence of cysteine, enzyme gamma-glutamyl cysteine synthetase forms 5-oxoproline, and the 5-oxoproline is converted into glutamate by the ATP-dependant enzyme, 5-oxoprolinase. Thus, in cysteine-limiting conditions, glutamate is cycled back into glutamate via 5-oxoproline at the cost of two ATP molecules without production of glutathione and this is the cause of the decreased levels of glutathione synthesis, as well as the ATP depletion observed in these cells. The model is also compatible with the differences seen in the human patients and the mouse model of cystinosis, where renal failure is not observed
physiological function
-
the high resistance of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells against oxidative damage can be accounted for by their greater expression of both the mRNA and protein of the catalytic subunit of glutamate-cysteine ligase, the rate-limiting step in GSH biosynthesis. MYCN directly binds to an E-box containing GCL catalytic subunit promoter and over-expression of MYCN in MYCN-non-amplified cells stimulates GCL catalytic subunit expression and provides resistance to oxidative damage. Knock-down of MYCN in MYCN-amplified cells decreases GCL catalytic subunit expression and sensitizes them to oxidative damage. GCL catalytic subunit knock-down enhances the vulnerability of MYCN-amplified cells to oxidative damage
physiological function
-
generation of GSH1 null mutants in Leishmania infantum. Removal of even a single wild-type allelic copy of GSH1 invariably leads to the generation of an extra copy of GSH1, maintaining two intact wild-type alleles. By first supplementing the parasites with a rescue plasmid, both a single and null chromosomal GSH1 mutant can be obtained. Parasites with one intact GSH1 chromosomal allele lose the rescuing plasmid but not the double knockout, when grown in the absence of antibiotic, indicating the essentiality of the GSH1 gene. Heterozygous mutants with one allele inactivated transcribe less GSH1 mRNA and synthesize less glutathione and trypanothione. These mutants are more susceptible to oxidative stresses in vitro as promastigotes and show decreased survival inside activated macrophages producing reactive oxygen or nitrogen species. These mutants show a significant decreased survival in the presence of antimony
physiological function
-
transfection of COV-434 granulosa tumour cell with vectors designed for the constitutive expression of Gcl catalytic subunit, Gcl modifier subunit, or both Gcl catalytic subunit and Gcl modifier subunit. GCL protein and enzymatic activity and total GSH levels are significantly increased in the GCL subunit-transfected cells. GCL-transfected cells are resistant to cell killing by treatment with hydrogen peroxide compared to control cells. In all the GCL subunit-transfected cell lines cell viability declines less than in control 1-8 h after 0.5 mM hydrogen peroxide treatment. In cells irradiated with 0, 1 or 5 Gy of g-rays, there is a dose-dependent increase in reactive oxygen species within 30 min in all cell lines, this effect is significantly attenuated in Gcl-transfected cells. Apoptosis is significantly decreased in irradiated Gclc-transfected cells compared to irradiated control cells
physiological function
knockdown of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase heavy chain subunit by an adenovirus vector with short hairpin RNA against GCSh. Three days infection of GCSh-shRNA and CYP3A4 simultaneously with H4IIE cells decreases the intracellular GSH level by 50-60% without affecting the expression level of CYP3A4. Using this cell-based system sensitive to the cytotoxicity of reactive metabolites, drugs known for their hepatotoxicity are evaluated. Troglitazone, flutamide, and acetaminophen cause significant decreases of cell viability in CYP3A4/GCSh-shRNA group compared to the other groups such as GFP, CYP3A4, GFP/GCSh-shRNA, indicating that reactive metabolites produced by CYP3A4 and subsequently conjugated by GSH are involved in the cytotoxicity
physiological function
-
fibroblast growth factor 9 upregulates gamma-GCS and HO-1 expression to protect cortical and dopaminergic neurons from 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium-induced oxidative insult. Inhibition of gamma-GCS or HO-1 prevents the inhibitory effect of fibroblast growth factor 9 on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium-induced H2O2 production and death in mesencephalic dopaminergic and cortical neurons. In the absence of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium, the fibroblast growth factor 9-induced H2O2 reduction is blocked by HO-1 inhibitors, but not by gamma-GCS inhibitors
physiological function
-
expression of both glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic and modifier subunit is mediated by the GCN2/ATF4 stress response pathway. Regulation of modifier subunit GCLM expression may be mediated by changes in the abundance of mRNA stabilizing or destabilizing proteins. Upregulation of GCLM levels in response to low cysteine levels may serve to protect the cell in the face of a future stress requiring GSH as an antioxidant or conjugating/detoxifying agent

rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of GSH. The regulatory mechanism is based on two intramolecular redox-sensitive disulfide bonds. Reduction of one disulfide bond allows a beta-hairpin motif to shield the active site of Brassica juncea GCL, thereby preventing the access of substrates. Reduction of the second disulfide bond reversibly controls dimer to monomer transition of the glutamate-cysteine ligase that is associated with a significant inactivation of the enzyme

As3+
-
As3+ coordinately upregulates GCL catalytic subunit and GCL modifier subunit mRNA levels resulting in increased GCL subunit protein expression, holoenzyme formation, and activity. As3+ increases the rate of transcription of both the GCL catalytic subunit and GCL modifier subunit genes and induces the posttranscriptional stabilization of GCL modifier subunit mRNA. The antioxidant N-acetylcysteine abolishes As3+-induced GCL catalytic subunit expression and attenuates induction of GCL modifier subunit. As3+ induction of GCL catalytic subunit and GCL modifier subunit is also differentially regulated by the MAPK signaling pathways and occurrs independent of the Nrf1/2 transcription factors

4-hydroxy-2-nonenal
-
treatment with 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal results in the dose-dependent adduction of both monomeric GCLC and GCLM. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal-mediated adduction of monomeric GCLC results in a dose-dependent increase in GCLC enzymatic activity. Treatment of GCL holoenzyme causes a dose-dependent decrease in GCL activity. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal-mediated inhibition of GCL holoenzyme activity is associated with a reduction in the levels of heterodimeric GCL holoenzyme complex due to increase in high molecular weight complexes. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal modification simultaneously activates monomeric GCLC activity and prevents its ability to heterodimerize with GCLM and form functional GCL holoenzyme

treatment promotes the loss of glutamate cysteine ligase in liver. Activation of glycogen synthase kinase 3beta is a key mediator of the initial phase of acetaminophen-induced liver injury through modulating GCL and Mcl-1 degradation, as well as JNK activation in liver. The silencing of glycogen synthase kinase 3beta decreases the loss of hepatic GCL, and promotes greater GSH recovery in liver following acetaminophen treatment
