Abstract:
The nucleotide sequence (658 bp) of the cDNA coding for glutathione S-transferase Y-2 of yeast Issatchenkia orientalis was obtained. The cDNA clone contains an open reading frame of 570 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide comprising 190 amino acids with a molecular weight of 21,520. The primary amino acid sequence of the enzyme exhibits only 25.0% and 21.1% identity with 177 and 151 amino acid residues of maize glutathione S-transferase I and rat glutathione S-transferase Yb2, respectively.
