Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: A set of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) was PCR-amplified from cDNA of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) skin and gill tissues. The genes were cloned and sequenced. All recombinant GSTs, expressed in pET system, were active in catalyzing conjugation of reduced glutathione to xenobiotic substrates. The potential role of these enzymes in anti-bacterial pathogens is under investigation. The following are GenBank accession numbers deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database: OR137144, OR137145, OR137146, OR137147, OR137148, OR137149, and OR137150.
