We have constructed a nearly full length cDNA clone, pGTA/C44, complementary to the rat liver glutathione S-transferase Yb1 mRNA. The nucleotide sequence of pGTA/C44 has been determined, and the complete amino acid sequence of the Yb1 subunit has been deduced. The cDNA clone contains an open reading frame of 654 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide comprising 218 amino acids with Mr = 25,919. The NH2-terminal sequence deduced from DNA sequence analysis of pGTA/C44 is in agreement with the first 19 amino acids determined for purified glutathione S-transferase A, a Yb1 homodimer, by Frey et al. (Frey, A. B., Friedberg, T., Oesch, F., and Kreibich, G. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 11321-11325). The DNA sequence of pGTA/C44 shares significant sequence homology with a cDNA clone, pGT55, which is complementary to a mouse liver glutathione S-transferase (Pearson, W. R., Windle, J. J., Morrow, J. F., Benson, A. M., and Talalay, P. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 2052-2062). We have also determined 37 nucleotides of the 5'-untranslated region and 348 nucleotides of the 3'-untranslated region of the Yb1 mRNA. The Yb1 mRNA and subunit do not share any sequence homology with the rat liver glutathione S-transferase Ya or Yc mRNAs or their corresponding subunits. These data provide the first direct evidence that the Yb1 subunit is derived from a gene or gene family which is distinct from the Ya-Yc gene family.
