The nitroaromatic explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and the related 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) aretoxic environmental pollutants. The biotransformation and detoxication of these persistent compoundsin higher organisms are of great significance from a health perspective as well as for the biotechnological challenge of bioremediation of contaminated soil. We demonstrate that different human glutathionetransferases (GSTs) and GSTs from the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster are catalysts of the biotransformationof TNT and DNT. The human GSTs had significant but modest catalytic activities with both DNT and TNT. However, D. melanogaster GSTE6 and GSTE7 displayed outstanding high activities withboth substrates.
