Crystallization of the major cytosolic glutathione S-transferase from Onchocerca volvulus.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of detoxification enzymes that catalyse the conjugation of glutathione to xenobiotic and endogenous electrophilic compounds, thus facilitating their elimination from cells. The recombinant Onchocerca volvulus GST2 has been expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique. Two different crystal forms were grown under identical conditions. They belong to space groups P2(1)2(1)2 and P2(1), respectively. The unit-cell parameters obtained are a = 112.6, b = 84.3, c = 45.1 A for the P2(1)2(1)2 crystal form and a = 51.6, b = 82.3, c = 56.7 A, beta = 95.89 degrees for the P2(1) form. Complete data sets to 2.6 and 1.5 A, respectively, have been collected at 100 K with synchrotron radiation.[1]
