Crystal structures of human MGST2 reveal synchronized conformational changes regulating catalysis
Microsomal glutathione S-transferase 2 (MGST2) produces leukotriene C4, an intracrine mediator of cell death. Structural, biochemical and computational analyses of human MGST2 suggest a mechanism employed by the enzyme to restrict catalysis to only one active site within the MGST2 trimer.
