Some GSTs behave as glutathione peroxidases, and others possess non-enzymatic functions regulating a number of cellular processes that contribute to the intrinsic ability of cells to survive genotoxic, metabolic and oxidative stress
Amino acids V12 (putative oxyanion hole), F112 (active site architecture), N108 (flavonoid binding) and C13 (GSH stabilization) were fully randomized by site saturation mutagenesis (NNK codons), and the created Pt GSTF8 variants were tested for conversion of flavan-3,3,4-triol ( 4 ) to cyanidin ( 8 ), and for their GSH-transferase activity towards CDNB ( 5 ) as a control of catalytic competence
Mammalian autophagy: core molecular machinery and signaling regulation
Therefore, when ferroptosis strikes RPECs, it can wreak havoc on PRs, causing damage or even their demise, which ultimately sets the stage for the development and advancement of vision-impairing disorders
