γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase GGT4 initiates vacuolar degradation of glutathione S-conjugates in Arabidopsis
The xenobiotic monochlorobimane is conjugated to glutathione in the cytosol of Arabidopsis thaliana, transported to the vacuole, and hydrolyzed to cysteine S-bimane [Grzam, A., Tennstedt, P., Clemens, S., Hell, R. and Meyer, A.J.

| Zusammenfassung: | The xenobiotic monochlorobimane is conjugated to glutathione in the cytosol of Arabidopsis thaliana, transported to the vacuole, and hydrolyzed to cysteine S-bimane [Grzam, A., Tennstedt, P., Clemens, S., Hell, R. and Meyer, A.J. (2006) Vacuolar sequestration of glutathione S-conjugates outcompetes a possible degradation of the glutathione moiety by phytochelatin synthase. FEBS Lett. 580, 6384-6390]. The work here identifies γ-glutamyl transpeptidase 4 (At4g29210, GGT4) as the first step of vacuolar degradation of glutathione conjugates. Hydrolysis of glutathione S-bimane is blocked in ggt4 null mutants of A. thaliana. Accumulation of glutathione S-bimane in mutants and in wild-type plants treated with the high affinity GGT inhibitor acivicin shows that GGT4 is required to initiate the two step hydrolysis sequence. GGT4:green fluorescent protein fusions were used to demonstrate that GGT4 is localized in the lumen of the vacuole. |
