    Abstract

    Background: Glutathionylation is a major post-translational modification that regulates protein function. Results: Human glutathione transferase Omega 1 (GSTO1-1) can catalyze the deglutathionylation of protein thiols in vitro and in cell culture. Conclusion: GSTO1-1, but not GSTO2-2, catalyzes the deglutathionylation of actin and other proteins under physiological conditions. Significance: Genetic variation in GSTO1-1-catalyzed deglutathionylation may influence the function of multiple proteins in signaling pathways.
