title: Interactions of platinum complexes with thioltransferase(glutaredoxin), in vitro.
abstract: Under anaerobic conditions, recombinant pig liver thioltransferase (glutaredoxin)(TT, GRX) (EC 1.8.4.1) was strongly inhibited by cis and carbo-platin and somewhat less sensitive to trans-platin, in vitro. By extrapolation to total inhibition, the ratio of platinum drug/thioltransferase was approximately 1.0 for cis and carbo-platin, but greater than 1.0 for trans-platin. When thioltransferase was not reduced, inhibition by preincubation with the platinum complexes required molar excesses of 1,300 and 675 to one for cis-platin and trans-platin, respectively or 400-500 microM for 50% inhibition. The inhibition of thioltransferase at high drug concentrations in the presence of oxygen was associated with cross-linking of monomers into dimers within 5 min and, in the case of cis-platin treatment, to trimers in 20 min incubation.
