Abstract
The 26-kDa glutathione S-transferase from Schistosoma japonicum (Sj26GST), a helminth worm that causes schistosomiasis, catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione with toxic secondary products of membrane lipid peroxidation. Crystal structures of Sj26GST in complex with glutathione sulfonate (Sj26GSTSLF), S-hexyl glutathione (Sj26GSTHEX), and S-2-iodobenzyl glutathione (Sj26GSTIBZ) allow characterization of the electrophile binding site (H site) of Sj26GST. The S-hexyl and S-2-iodobenzyl moieties of these product analogs bind in a pocket defined by side-chains from the beta1-alpha1 loop (Tyr7, Trp8, Ile10, Gly12, Leu13), helix alpha4 (Arg103, Tyr104, Ser107, Tyr111), and the C-terminal coil (Gln204, Gly205, Trp206, Gln207). Changes in the Ser107 and Gln204 dihedral angles make the H site more hydrophobic in the Sj26GSTHEX complex relative to the ligand-free structure. These structures, together with docking studies, indicate a possible binding mode of Sj26GST to its physiologic substrates 4-hydroxynon-2-enal (4HNE), trans-non-2-enal (NE), and ethacrynic acid (EA). In this binding mode, hydrogen bonds of Tyr111 and Gln207 to the carbonyl oxygen atoms of 4HNE, NE, and EA could orient the substrates and enhance their electrophilicity to promote conjugation with glutathione.

Figure 1. Binding of product analogs to the H and G sites of Sj26GST. A-weighted Fo - Fc electron density, contoured at 3.0 , is shown for the ligands (glutathione in brown, S-hexyl and S-2-iodobenzyl in yellow). Functionally important H site residues are shown in purple. (A) Glutathione sulfonate. Tyr7 and a water molecule participate in a hydrogen bond with the sulfonate. (B) S-hexyl glutathione. Tyr7, Gly12, Leu13, Arg103, Ser107, Tyr111, and Gln204 participate in the S-hexyl moiety binding to the H site. (C) S-2-Iodobenzyl glutathione. Tyr7, Leu13, Ser107, and Tyr111 participate in binding the 2-iodobenzyl moiety at the H site.
