Glutathione (GSH) transferase isoenzymes have been partially resolved from the cytosol of Schistocephalus solidus (plerocercoid) by GSH affinity chromatography and chromatofocusing at pH 7-5. The presence of isomeric forms was also suggested by analytical isoelectric focusing and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that GSH transferase forms were dimers with a subunit size of approximately 24 kDa. The major GSH transferase form in S. solidus (plerocercoid) showed greater biochemical relationship to the Mu family of mammalian GSH transferase compared to the mammalian Alpha or Pi families. The major subunit purified by GSH affinity chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC also showed high N-terminal homology with the Mu family. A minor GSH transferase form appeared more biochemically related to the Alpha family with respect to substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity. The major GSH transferase was inhibited by haematin-related compounds, bile acids and a number of anthelmintics including members of the benzimidazole and phenol-based class of compounds. The major GSH transferase had conjugating activity with members of the trans, trans-2,4-alkadienal and trans-2-alkenal series, secondary products of lipid peroxidation.
