Molecular mechanisms of metabolic resistance to synthetic and natural xenobiotics. (2007, background): “According to the unified system (18), class I and III insect GSTs are designated Delta and Epsilon classes, respectively, and class II insect GSTs are included in several mammalian classes, with many belonging to the Sigma class.”
Insect glutathione transferases and insecticide resistance (2005, methodology): “As the volume of insect sequence data increased, additional GSTs were identified that did not clearly fit within class I or II and the mammalian system of GST nomenclature was adopted whereby classes are designated using Greek letters (Chelvanayagam et al ., 2001).”
Plant glutathione transferases (2002, background): “An insect-specific delta class has also been described [7], and bacteria contain a prokaryote-specific beta class of GST [8].”
Genome Sequence of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (2010, background): “As an herbivore, the pea aphid is likely to overcome plant chemical defenses, at least in part, by employing detoxification enzymes, including cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s), glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), and carboxyl/choline esterases (CCEs).”
