Figure 1. Bacterially-expressed GCLC 462S enzyme has significantly decreased enzymatic activity in vitro.

Figure 1

Plasmids encoding either the 462P wild-type or 462S GCLC polymorphism were used in an E. coli expression system. Bacterial lysates were used to produce γ-glutamylcysteine, which was measured using a fluorescent-based assay. Bar graphs indicate proportion of activity relative to an equivalent amount of endogenous E. coli lysate. Graph values represent the mean ± SEM over several experiments. P-values are based on the difference between the two polymorphisms and were calculated using a paired t-test.
