摘要
The number and the substrate specificities of glutathione thiol esterases of human red blood cells have been investigated by gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing and staining methods devised for the location of these enzymes on gels. Several glutathione thiol esterase forms, both unspecific (with respect to the S-acyl group of the substrate) and specific were found. Electrophoresis on both polyacrylamide and agarose gels resolved three enzyme components with apparently similar substrate specificity. Isoelectric focusing in liquid column separated two unspecific thiol esterase components with S-lactoylglutathione (pI=8.4) and S-propionylglutathione (pI=8.1) as the best substrates, respectively, and two specific enzymes, S-formylglutathione hydrolase (pI=5.2) and S-succinylglutathione hydrolase (pI=9.0). Isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel resolved nine unspecific glutathione thiol esterase bands (between pH values 7.0 and 8.4). Partially purified glyoxalase II (S-2-hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase, EC 3.1.2.6) from erythrocytes or liver still gave three components on electrophoresis and several activity bands on gel electrofocusing. These results indicate that human red cells contain at least four separate glutathione thiol esterases. Glyoxalase II, one of these enzymes, apparently occurs in multiple forms. These were neither influenced by pretreatment of the samples with neuraminidase or thiols nor were interconvertible during the fractionations. © 1979.
