Glutathione S-transferase isozymes purified from normal rat liver (1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-3, 3-4, and 4-4), liver with hyperplastic nodules (7-7), brain (Yn1Yn1), and testis (Yn1Yn2) all had prostaglandin H2-converting activity. The prostaglandin H2 E-isomerase activity was high in 1-1 (1400 nmol/min/mg protein), 1-2 (1170), and 2-2 (420), moderate in 3-3, 3-4, 4-4, Yn1Yn1, and Yn1Yn2 (52-100), and weak but significant in 7-7 (33). The prostaglandin H2 D-isomerase activity was relatively high in 1-1 (170) and 1-2 (200), moderate in 2-2 (60) and Yn1Yn2 (43), and weak but marked in 3-3 (16), 4-4 (16), and 7-7 (14). The prostaglandin H2 F-reductase activity was remarkable in 1-1 (1250), 1-2 (920), and 2-2 (390), and weakly detected in 3-3 (24), 4-4 (28), and 7-7 (14). Glutathione was absolutely required for these prostaglandin H2-converting reactions, and its stoichiometric consumption was associated with F-reductase activity but not E- and D-isomerase activities. The Km values for glutathione and prostaglandin H2 were about 200 and 10-40 microM, respectively. By immunoabsorption analyses with various antibodies specific for each isozyme, we examined its contribution to the formation of prostaglandins D2, E2, and F2 alpha from prostaglandin H2 in 100,000g supernatants of rat liver, kidney, and testis. In the liver, about 90% of the F-reductase activity (9.8 nmol/min/mg protein) was shown to be catalyzed by the 1-2 group of isozymes. The E-isomerase activity (16.5) was catalyzed about 60 and 40% by the 1-2 and 3-4 groups, respectively; and the D-isomerase activity (3.7) was catalyzed by the 1-2 group (50%) and the 3-4 group and Yn1Yn2 (15-25%). In the kidney, the E-isomerase activity (9.4) was catalyzed by 1-1, 1-2 (40%), 2-2, 3-4 group, and 7-7 (10-20%). The F-reductase activity (3.3) was mostly catalyzed by the 1-2 group (75%). In the testis, the E-isomerase activity (3.9) was catalyzed by the 1-2 group (20-30%), the 3-4 group, and Yn1Yn2 (30-60%).
