Diane Cobb, Charles Boehlert, Deborah Lewis, and Richard N. Armstrong* abstract: Three of the isozymes of glutathione 5-transferase (EC 2.5. 1.18) from rat liver (isozymes A, B, and C) catalyze the addition of glutathione to phenanthrene 9, 10-oxide with varying degrees of efficiency and stereoselectivity. Isozyme C is 2-fold and 35-fold more efficient toward thissubstrate than are isozymes A and B, respectively, and gives a 20 to 1 ratio of the two possible diastereomeric products. The ste-reoselectivities of isozymes A (~ 1 to 1) and B (3 to 1) are considerably lower. The major product diastereomer from isozyme C is deduced to have the 95, 1 OS absolute configuration by circular dichroism spectroscopy, implying attack of glutathione on the oxirane carbon on R absolute configuration. Isozyme C shows little kinetic discrimination between other K-region arene oxides such as pyrene 4, 5-oxide and the en-(jTlutathione 5-transferases (EC 2.5. 1.18) catalyze the ad-dition of the thiol of glutathione to electrophilic compounds with lipophilic substituents, a reaction of considerable im-portance in the detoxication of alkylating agents such as arene oxides, alkyl halides, and others (Chasseaud, 1979). Isozymes of GSH transferase1 isolated from rat and human liver cytosol show a rather broad overlapping substrate specificity [for a recent review, see Jakoby & Habig (1980)]. Enzymes that catalyze biotransformation reactions of xenobiotics often ex-hibit a low degree of substrate selectivity, which is an obvious advantage for a catalyst required to act on structurally diverse and potentially toxic compounds. In contrast, the enzymatic processing of a xenobiotic compound can, and often does, proceed with a high degree of stereoselectivity in which ste-reochemical choices made by enzymes in the metabolic pathway affect the biological activity of the parent compound or its metabolites. For instance, cytochrome P-450 catalyzed oxidation at a prochiral center of an aromatic hydrocarbon can proceed stereoselectively to give predominantly one en-antiomeric arene oxide (Levin et al., 1980; Armstrong et al., 1981a; van Bladeren et al., 1982). The initial stereoselection can influence the kinetic, stereochemical, and ultimate toxi-cological outcome of subsequent biotransformations as exem-plified by the serial and stereoselective action of cytochrome P-450, epoxide hydrolase, and cytochrome P-450 on benzo-[ú] pyrene to give predominantly a single, highly tumorogenic stereoisomer of benzo [a] pyrene-7, 8-diol 9, 10-epoxide (Levin et al., 1980).
