The binding interactions between dimeric glutathione transferase from Schistosoma japonicum (Sj26GST) and bromosulfophthalein (BS) or 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) were characterised by fluorescence spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Both ligands inhibit the enzymatic activity of Sj26GST in a non-competitive form. A stoichiometry of 1 molecule of ligand per mole of dimeric enzyme was obtained for the binding of these ligands. The affinity of BS is higher (K(d)=3.2 microM) than that for ANS (K(d)=195 microM). The thermodynamic parameters obtained by calorimetric titrations are pH-independent in the range of 5.5 to 7.5. The interaction process is enthalpically driven at all the studied temperatures. This enthalpic contribution is larger for the ANS anion than for BS. The strongly favourable enthalpic contribution for the binding of ANS to Sj26GST is compensated by a negative entropy change, due to enthalpy-entropy compensation. DeltaG degrees remains almost invariant over the temperature range studied. The free energy change for the binding of BS to Sj26GST is also favoured by entropic contributions at temperatures below 32 degrees C, thus indicating a strong hydrophobic interaction. Heat capacity change obtained for BS (DeltaC(p) degrees =(-580.3+/-54.2) cal x K(-1) mol(-1)) is twofold larger (in absolute value) than for ANS (DeltaC(p) degrees =(-294.8+/-15.8) cal x K(-1) mol(-1)). Taking together the thermodynamic parameters obtained for these inhibitors, it can be argued that the possible hydrophobic interactions in the binding of these inhibitors to L-site must be accompanied by other interactions whose contribution is enthalpic. Therefore, the non-substrate binding site (designed as ligandin) on Sj26GST may not be fully hydrophobic.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D002151 Calorimetry The measurement of the quantity of heat involved in various processes, such as chemical reactions, changes of state, and formations of solutions, or in the determination of the heat capacities of substances. The fundamental unit of measurement is the joule or the calorie (4.184 joules). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
D005982 Glutathione Transferase A transferase that catalyzes the addition of aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic FREE RADICALS as well as EPOXIDES and arene oxides to GLUTATHIONE. Addition takes place at the SULFUR. It also catalyzes the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrite.
