Abstract
Glutathione S -transferases (GSTs) play a pivotal role in the detoxification of foreign chemicals and toxic metabolites. They were originally termed ligandins because of their ability to bind large molecules (molecular masses >400 Da), possibly for storage and transport roles. The location of the ligandin site in mammalian GSTs is still uncertain despite numerous studies in recent years. Here we show by X-ray crystallography that the ligandin binding site in human pi class GST P1-1 occupies part of one of the substrate binding sites. This work has been extended to the determination of a number of enzyme complex crystal structures which show that very large ligands are readily accommodated into this substrate binding site and in all, but one case, causes no significant movement of protein side-chains. Some of these molecules make use of a hitherto undescribed binding site located in a surface pocket of the enzyme. This site is conserved in most, but not all, classes of GSTs suggesting it may play an important functional role.

Figure 3. A comparison of the binding locations of GSH conjugates derived from the various crystal structures of pi class GSTs presented here. The superposition was based on overlaying the coordinates of the respective N-terminal domains. The ligands are overlayed on a schematic of the N-terminal domain of the human pi class enzyme. (a) Stereo view showing all inhibitors described in the text. The inhibitors are coloured as follows: SLZ, yellow;S-nonyl GSH, cyan; CB, dark blue; BS no.1, red; BS no. 2, magenta; DNP GSH, green. The side-chains of Phe8 and Tyr108 are shown. (b) Comparison of the binding locations of DNP GSH (denoted by yellow bonds) and BS no. 1 (denoted by red bonds). These pictures were generated with the program MOLSCRIPT [Kraulis 1991].

Figure 3. Schematic drawing of residues that interact with the substrates and inhibitors. (a) GSH (C2 form, 100 K) and (b) TER-117 (C2 form, 288 K). The key to the Figures is shown in part (a). These Figures were produced using the program LIGPLOT [Wallace et al 1995].

Figure 7. Superposition of the active sites of the alpha-class hGST A1-1 [Sinning et al 1993], human mu-class GST M2-2 [Raghunathan et al 1994] and human hGST P1-1 crystal structures showing the fit of the inhibitor TER-117. The structures are colored yellow, green and mauve, respectively. The characteristic Mu-loop of the rat enzyme and the C-terminal helix α9 of the alpha-class enzyme are shown. Residues likely to collide with the phenyl ring of the inhibitor are highlighted. This Figure was generated with the program package INSIGHT II (Molecular Simulations Inc., San Diego, CA, USA.).
