摘要: Plant cytosolic glutathione transferases (EC 2.5.1.18, GSTs) are essential enzymes involved in multiple and diverse functions which crucial to xenobiotic detoxification, hormone signalling, redox homeostasis, plant metabolism, growth regulation adaptation abiotic biotic stresses. GSTs capable of catalysing the conjugation reduced (γ-L-Glu-L-Cys-Gly; GSH), via sulphydryl group, electrophilic centres on a vast number molecules, both endogenous xenobiotic, including herbicides, leading their detoxification. Recent progress proteomics, genomics transcriptomics projects has allowed identification, classification evolutionary analysis large GST isoenzymes provided new knowledge insights into planta function catalytic role. This chapter focuses attempts give an overview evolution, structural biology.
