Glutathione and glutathione-dependent enzymes represent a co-ordinately regulated defence against oxidative stress

TL;DR: Howglutathione biosynthesis, glutathione peroxidases, glutATHione S-transferases and glutathion S-conjugate efflux pumps function in an integrated fashion to allow cellular adaption to oxidative stress is discussed.

Potent and specific inhibition of glutathione synthesis by buthionine sulfoximine (S-n-butyl homocysteine sulfoximine).

TL;DR: The findings support the conclusion that the S-alkyl moiety of the sulfoximine binds at the enzyme site that normally binds the acceptor amino acid and increases in a manner which is parallel to those of the corresponding isosteric accepter amino acid substrates, i.e. glycine, alanine, and alpha-aminobutyrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective modification of glutathione metabolism

TL;DR: Modifications of glutathione metabolism may be achieved by administration of selective enzyme inhibitors, and also by giving compounds that increase glutATHione synthesis, which are useful in chemotherapy and radiation therapy and in protecting cells against the toxic effects of drugs, other foreign compounds, and oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI

The selenoenzyme phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase.

TL;DR: The similarity of amino acid composition, Se content and kinetic mechanism, relative to the difference in substrate specificity, indicates that the two enzymes 'classical' glutathione peroxidase and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathions are in some way related.
