A common class of nematode glutathione S-transferase ž/GST revealed by the theoretical proteome of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans

摘要: The genome verified C. elegans free-living nematode model is a new tool for investigating gene expression in human Ž. and animal nematode parasites. There is limited information on designating glutathione S-transferase GST to specific classes in lower invertebrates such as nematodes. Following cloning, amino acid sequence alignment, recombinant expression and Western blotting we provide evidence of a new GST class in nematodes or lower invertebrates. 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.
