Abstract:
A cDNA coding for glutathione S-transferase (GST) was cloned and sequenced from the unicellular green algae Coccomyxa sp. The predicted 215 amino acid polypeptide (23.9 kDa, pI 5.3) is most similar to the theta-type GSTs found in a variety of different eukaryotic organisms. Within this sub-class, the Coccomyxa GST is 42% identical (63% similar) to the flatfish Pleuronectes platessa homologue, and 24 to 35% (49-57%) to other theta-type GST's.
