The ABC transporter Opp imports reduced glutathione, while Gsi imports glutathione disulfide in Escherichia coli by Lisa R. Knoke, Maik Muskietorz, Lena Kühn, Lars I. Leichert

“…Here we use the genetically-encoded, glutathione-measuring redox probe Grx1-roGFP2 to comprehensively elucidate the import of extracellular glutathione into the cytoplasm of the model organism Escherichia coli. The elimination of only two ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter systems, Gsi and Opp, completely abrogates glutathione import into E. coli's cytoplasm, both in its reduced and oxidized form. …”
