植物体内的多功能蛋白酶——谷胱甘肽转移酶

Multifunctional Enzymes in Plants-Glutathione S-Transferases

谷胱甘肽转移酶(Glutathione S-transferases,GSTs)在植物体内普遍存在,是由一个大的多基因家族编码的多功能蛋白酶。GSTs的表达受多种环境因子的诱导,在植物的生长发育、次生代谢和耐逆中有重要作用。本文简要介绍了GST的研究概况,重点讨论了其生理功能。

Glutathione S-transferases （GSTs） are a family of multifunctional enzymes encoded by a large and diverse gene family and are ubiquitous in plants. They are transcriptionally induced by many different environmental factors, and play important roles not only in many stress responses, but also in plant growth, development and secondary metabolism. The paper summarizes the progress in GSTs research and highlights their physiological functions.
