Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) of wood-degrading fungi play essential roles in cellular detoxification processes and endogenous metabolism. Fungal GSTs of GSTFuA class are suggested to be involved in lignin degradation. Ceriporiopsis subvermispora is one of the important model fungi of the selective lignin degraders, we found it interesting to study its GSTs. Here, we characterized the activities of two GSTs of the GSTFuA class of C. subvermispora (CsGST63524 and CsGST83044). A high-yield expression systems involving Escherichia coli was developed for each of these enzymes. Both enzymes were found to exhibit GSH-conjugation activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, and GSH-peroxidase activity toward cumene hydroperoxide. Both enzymes showed high GSH-conjugation activity under basic conditions (pH 8.0 to 9.0), and the optimum temperature for their activity was 40 °C. In addition, three fluorescent compounds were used i.e., methylumbelliferyl acetovanillone was used to monitor etherase activity, and 5-chloromethylfluorescein diacetate and 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate to monitor esterase activity. CsGST83044 exhibited both etherase and esterase activities, while CsGST63524 displayed only esterase activity, which was much higher than that of CsGST83044. These findings imply the functional diversity of the GSTFuA class GSTs of C. subvermispora, suggesting that each protein plays distinctive roles in both the fungal detoxification system and wood compound metabolism.
