Inhibition of microsome-mediated binding of aflatoxin B1 to DNA by glutathione S-transferase. 1980

P D Lotlikar, and S M Insetta, and P R Lyons, and E C Jhee

Hamster liver microsome-mediated [14C]aflatoxin B1 binding to DNA is inhibited by 105,000 X g liver supernatant fraction. Absolute requirement of glutathione for the inhibitory activity of the dialyzed supernatant and irreversible loss of the inhibitory activity by the heat-treated supernatant indicate involvement of glutathione S-transferase. Concomitant with inhibition of aflatoxin B1-DNA binding, the formation of an aflatoxin B1-glutathione conjugate is indicated.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

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.

D000348 Aflatoxins Furano-furano-benzopyrans that are produced by ASPERGILLUS from STERIGMATOCYSTIN. They are structurally related to COUMARINS and easily oxidized to an epoxide form to become ALKYLATING AGENTS. Members of the group include AFLATOXIN B1; aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2; AFLATOXIN M1; and aflatoxin M2. Aflatoxin
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
