Diazobenzenesulphonate selectively abolishes stimulation of glucuronidation by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine.


ABSTRACT: 1. Basal rates of glucuronidation of oestrone (guinea pig) or of 4-nitrophenol (rat or guinea pig) were not significantly altered in sealed liver microsomal vesicles, treated with the membrane-impermeant protein-modifying agent diazobenzenesulphonate at 0.5-1.0 mM. 2. Contrarily, diazobenzenesulphonate abolished the normal stimulation of glucuronidation by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. 3. Ultrasonication to increase microsomal permeability activated glucuronidation by 680-750% and permitted significant inhibition by diazobenzenesulphonate. 4. These findings are consistent with a model wherein glucuronyltransferases are embedded in the luminal leaflet of the endoplasmic reticulum and access of UDP-glucuronic acid to the transferases is facilitated by transmembrane carriers, which are stimulated by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and are available to diazobenzenesulphonate; ultrasonication serves to permit access of diazobenzenesulphonate to glucuronyltransferases themselves, resulting in inhibition of their activity.
