Résumé

The ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila has a rapid response to detoxify xenobiotics, which presents opportunity to study the diversification of Glutathione S-Transferase superfamily. In-silico identification of putative GST genes were resulted with 70 GST genes; 49 TtGSTmu, 7 TtGSTomega, 5 TtGSTtheta, 2 TtGSTzeta, 4 TtMAPEG and 3 TtEF1G. TtGST superfamily has short intron carrying or intronless genes. The most expressed mRNAs of TtGST are limited to 4 members at all life stages. TtGST genes are widely distributed to all five micronuclear chromosomes with the highest diversified members from different classes in chromosome 4. The clustering and the orientation of some TtGSTs in the T. thermophila genome give clues about the recent gene duplication. Analysis of GSH affinity-purified GST proteins with Western blot and activity assay showed GST activity carrying purified TtGST populations. In conclusion, the enhanced genome capacity of TtGST superfamily may have evolved through improved GST enzymatic activity.
