Function

LGUL_MOUSE Catalyzes the conversion of hemimercaptal, formed from methylglyoxal and glutathione, to S-lactoylglutathione. Involved in the regulation of TNF-induced transcriptional activity of NF-kappa-B (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The antitumor pharmacological property of flavonoids is correlated with inhibition towards glyoxalase I (GLOI), a critical zinc-enzyme in the methylglyoxal detoxification pathway. In this study, 16 flavonoids were examined, and only baicalein (Ki of 0.183 microM) is identified as a potent in vitro GLOI inhibitor. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that baicalein chelates with the catalytic Zn(2+) via its characteristic C6/C7 hydroxyl groups. The coordination ability of flavonoids, and therefore their ability to inhibit GLOI, is determined by the Zn(2+) coordination geometry, the rigid skeleton of flavonoids and the geometry of the hydrophobic cavity of the GLOI active site. This structural basis could be useful in predicting GLOI inhibition of other natural polyphenols.
