However, significant gender-related differences in the expression of glutathione S-transferases (GST) have been observed in mice, with female mice expressing significantly more of this antioxidant than male mice [ 30].
The classical adenylyl cyclases, guanylyl cyclases and the GGDEF (diguanylate cyclase) domains share the catalytic palm domain with the family B DNA polymerases, reverse transcriptases, viral RNA dependent RNA polymerases and eukaryote-type primases [ 4 13 14 ] . The pathogenic adenylyl cyclases of several bacteria and the CyaA-like proteobacteria adenylyl cyclases are extremely divergent versions of the catalytic domain seen in the Pol-β family of nucleotidyl transferases [ 15 ] (also see SCOP database: http://scop.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/scop/).
Similar observations were obtained for other gene clusters, including amylases on 1p21, annexins on 4q21, homeobox proteins on 7p15 and 17q21, metallothioneins on 16q13, crystalline proteins on 2q33, glutathione- S -transferases (m1, m2, m3, m4 and m5) on 1p13, histone families (H2A/H2B/H3/H4) on 6p21, killer cell lectin-like receptors on 12p13, proline-rich proteins on 12p13, protocadherins on 5p15, s100 calcium-binding proteins on 1q21, keratins on 17q12, ADP-ribosylation factors (3, 4 and 5) on 10q22, and the major histocompatibility complex on 6p21.
We have used PSI-BLAST to find orthologs of enzymes that use glutathione (including glutaredoxins, glutathione- S -transferases, glutathione reductases and glutathione peroxidases) in both bacteria and eukaryotes (data not shown).
Genes identified using enrichment or screening protocols include Rv2962c and Rv2958c (probable glucuronsyl transferases), Rv2220 (glutamine synthetase A1), Rv3913-Rv3914 (thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase) and Rv2416c ( eis, unknown function) [ 14 15 22 29 ] . By screening insertional mutants of M. smegmatis, Lagier et al [ 30 ] isolated 8 mutants with impaired ability to survive in human peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages and identified the M. tuberculosis gene corresponding the mutated M. smegmatis gene for five of them.
