Ring-andN-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene by rat liver reconstituted cytochrome P-450 enzyme system.

ABSTRACT: The N- and ring-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene were studied with a reconstituted cytochrome P-450 enzyme from microsomal fractions of liver from both control and 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated rats. Proteinase treatment and Triton X-100 solubilization were two important steps for partial purification of the cytochrome P-450 fraction. Both cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase fractions were required for optimum N- and ring-hydroxylation activity. Hydroxylation activity was determined by the source of cytochrome P-450 fraction; cytochrome P-450 fraction from pretreated animals was severalfold more active than the fraction from controls. Formation of N-hydroxylated metabolites with reconstituted systems from both control and pretreated animals was greater than that with their respective whole microsomal fractions.

Phospholipid requirement for 2-acetamidofluorene N-and ring-hydroxylation by hamster liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 enzyme system.

Project description:A phospholipid requirement of 2-acetamidofluorene N- and ring-hydroxylation was investigated with partially delipidated microsomal fraction from livers of 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated hamsters. Butan-1-ol extraction of microsomal fraction removed 90% of the total lipid content without any appreciable effect on microsomal proteins. Such extracted microsomal fractions had much lower capacity to N- and ring-hydroxylate 2-acetamidofluorene: 25 and 44% of control respectively. Addition of butan-1-ol-extracted total lipid restored both oxidations to some extent, whereas addition of phosphatidylcholine fraction restored both oxidations almost completely. Addition of synthetic phospholipid, dilauroyl phosphatidylcholine, restored both oxidations to a large extent, whereas synthetic dipalmitoyl or distearoyl phosphatidylcholine was ineffective in restoring these oxidations.

Dimethylnitrosamine demethylation by reconstituted liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 enzyme system.

Project description:Oxidative demethylation of dimethylnitosamine was studied with both reconstituted and unresolved liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 enzyme systems from rats and hamsters. Proteinase treatment of liver microsomal preparations yielded cytochrome P-450 particulate fractions. Both cytochrome P-450 and NADPH- cytochrome c reductase fractions were required for optimum demethylation activity. Particulate cytochrome P-450 fractions were more effecient than either Triton X-100- or cholatesolubilized preparations of these particles in demethylation activity with rat and hamster liver preparations appear to be due to differences in specificity in their cytochrome P-450 fractions.

Characterization of a phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and reconstituted cytochrome P-450 mono-oxygenase system from rat brain. Evidence for constitutive presence in rat and human brain.

Project description:Cytochrome P-450 was purified to apparent homogeneity from the brain microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats. The specific content of the purified P-450 was 12.7 nmol/mg of protein. NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase (reductase) was also purified to apparent homogeneity from brain microsomes. The specific content was 34.7 mumol of cytochrome c reduced/min per mg of protein. The reduced carbon monoxide spectrum of purified P-450 exhibited a peak at 450 nm. Both the P-450 and the reductase moved as single bands on SDS/PAGE. The molecular masses of the purified P-450 and the reductase were determined to be 53.3 and 72.0 kDa respectively. The purified brain P-450 cross-reacted with antibodies to rat liver P-450IIB1/IIB2 when examined by Western immunoblotting, but no immunological similarity was observed with rat liver P-450IA1/IA2 or P-450IIE1. Purified rat brain reductase cross-reacted with antibodies to rat liver reductase. Further, immunoblot experiments with untreated rat and human brain microsomes using antisera to the purified rat brain P-450 and reductase indicated that these forms of P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase exist constitutively in rat and human brain. Purified rat brain P-450 was reconstituted with purified NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, deoxycholate and dilauroyl glyceryl 3-phosphocholine. NADPH-dependent N-demethylation of aminopyrine and morphine was observed in the reconstituted system. The catalytic-centre activities were 80.25 and 38.2 nmol of formaldehyde formed/min per nmol of P-450 respectively. The reconstituted system had a comparatively lower catalytic-centre activity for 7-ethoxycoumarin O-de-ethylase (10.5 nmol of product formed/min per nmol of P-450).

Effect of detergents on the N-and ring-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene by hamster liver microsomal preparations.

Project description:Effects of detergents such as cholate, deoxycholate and Triton X-100 were studied on N-and ring-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene by reconstituted and unresolved microsomal systems from livers of hamsters pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene. Triton X-100 (2.5 mg/nmol of cytochrome P-448) inhibited N-and ring-hydroxylation by wholemicrosomal preparations by 40 and 90% respectively Deoxycholate at the same concentration inhibited both hydroxylations completely, whereas cholate inhibited N-and ring-hydroxylation by 40 and 50% respectively. In reconstitution studies, the presence of Triton X-100(0.5-1.0mg/nmol of cytochrome P-448) along with unsolubilized cytochrome P-448 fraction and solubilized reductase fraction increased N-hydroxylation to an appreciable extent compared with ring-hydroxylation. Both cholate and deoxycholate at 0.5-1.0 mg concentrations had a greater stimulatory effect on ring-than on N-hydroxylation activity in such a reconstituted system.

Characteristics of the rat liver microsomal enzyme system converting cholecalciferol into 25-hydroxycholecalciferol. Evidence for the participation of cytochrome p-450.

Project description:Properties of the rat hepatic cholecalciferol 25-hydroxylase have been studied. An assay system has been developed in which 25-hydroxycholecalciferol production is linear for at least 2h in both homogenates and microsomal fraction. Furthermore, the initial reaction velocity is linearly related to the amount of liver tissue or microsomal fraction. This enzyme system also metabolizes an analogue of cholecalciferol, namely dihydrotachysterol 3, into 25-hydroxydihydrotachysterol 3. The 25-hydroxylase is in the microsomal fraction and not in mitochondria. It has a Km of 44 nM for cholecalciferol and 360 nM for dihydrotachysterol 3. Its activity is not altered by dietary concentrations of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D-deficient rats have higher activities of the hepatic 25-hydroxylase than those receiving 25 ng of cholecalciferol daily. The 25-hydroxylase is inhibited by metyrapone. An atmosphere of CO/O2 (9:1, v/v) inhibits the reaction by 87%. This inhibition is partially reversed by white light. Additionally, cholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol competitively inhibit aminopyrine demethylase. These results support the idea that the cholecalciferol 25-hydroxylase is a cytochrome P-450-dependent mono-oxygenase.

Effects of safrole and isosafrole pretreatment on N- and ring-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene by the rat and hamster.

Project description:1. The effects of safrole and isosafrole pretreatment on both N- and ring-hydroxylation of 2-acetamidofluorene were studied in male rats and hamsters. 2. Isosafrole (100mg/day per kg body wt.) pretreatment of rats for 3 days did not have any effect on urinary excretion of hydroxy metabolites of 2-acetamidofluorene. However, similar pretreatment with safrole produced increased urinary excretion of N-, 3- and 5-hydroxy derivatives. 3. Similar treatment with these two chemicals for 3 days increased ring-hydroxylation activity by rat liver microsomal material. Increases in N-hydroxylation were much less than those in ring-hydroxylation. Isosafrole was twice as effective as safrole. 4. Increases in hydroxylating activity due to safrole or isosafrole treatment were inhibited by simultaneous administration of ethionine. Similarly, ethionine inhibition was almost completely reversed by the simultaneous administration of methionine. 5. Safrole or isosafrole (0.1mm and 1mm) inhibited 7-hydroxylation activity by liver microsomal material from control rats. At 1mm these two chemicals inhibited both 5- and 7-hydroxylation activity by liver microsomal material from 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated rats. 3-Hydroxylation activity was not inhibited by 1mm concentrations of these two chemicals. 6. A single injection of safrole (50100 or 200mg/kg body wt.) 24h before assay had no appreciable effect on either N- or ring-hydroxylation activity by hamster liver microsomal material. However, isosafrole (200mg/kg body wt.) treatment inhibited N-, 3- and 5-hydroxylation activities by hamster liver microsomal material; it had no effect on 7-hydroxylation activity.

25-Hydroxylation of vitamin D3 by a cytochrome P-450 from rabbit liver mitochondria.

Project description:A cytochrome P-450 catalysing 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 was purified from liver mitochondria of untreated rabbits. The enzyme fraction contained 9 nmol of cytochrome P-450/mg of protein and showed only one protein band with an apparent Mr of 52,000 upon SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The preparation showed a single protein spot with an apparent isoelectric point of 7.8 and an Mr of approx. 52,000 upon two-dimensional isoelectric-focusing-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The purified cytochrome P-450 catalysed 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 up to 5000 times more efficiently than did the mitochondria. The cytochrome P-450 required both ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase for catalytic activity. Microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase could not replace ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase. The cytochrome P-450 catalysed, in addition to 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3, the 25-hydroxylation of 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 and the 26-hydroxylation of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol. The enzyme did not catalyse side-chain cleavage of cholesterol, 11 beta-hydroxylation of deoxycorticosterone, 1 alpha-hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, hydroxylations of lauric acid and testosterone or demethylation of benzphetamine. The results raise the possibility that the 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 and the 26-hydroxylation of C27 steroids are catalysed by the same species of cytochrome P-450 in liver mitochondria. The possible role of the liver mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 in the metabolism of vitamin D3 is discussed.

Toxic dark effects of protoporphyrin on the cytochrome P-450 system in rat liver microsomes.

Project description:In erythropoietic protoporphyria, accumulation of protoporphyrin has been found in various tissues and liver cirrhosis occurs frequently in this disease, probably due to toxic dark effects of protoporphyrin. We have studied the effect of porphyrins on various enzymic functions in rat liver microsomes. Incubation of microsomes with protoporphyrin resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of the oxidation of 7-ethoxycoumarin and aminopyrine by the cytochrome P-450 system. Kinetic analysis showed a decrease in Vmax., whereas the Km was not affected (non-competitive inhibition). Furthermore, reduction of cytochrome c by the NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and by the NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase was inhibited. However, the activity of the reductases was only affected when the microsomes were pre-incubated with protoporphyrin, and it was found that the inhibition was dependent on the duration of the pre-incubation. Kinetic analysis again revealed non-competitive inhibition. When these experiments were repeated with uroporphyrin, no inhibition could be observed. With Stern-Volmer plots it was demonstrated that this was most likely caused by the localization of the porphyrins: protoporphyrin is localized in the membrane, whereas uroporphyrin remains in solution. From these results it is concluded that accumulation of protoporphyrin in the liver may markedly affect the cytochrome P-450 system and thus its detoxification function.

Ring hydroxylation of di-t-butylhydroxytoluene by rat liver microsomal preparations.

Project description:3,5-Di-t-butylhydroxytoluene (compound I) was converted into 4-hydroperoxy-4-methyl-2,6-di-t-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone (compound II), 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,6-di-t-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone (compound III) and 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxymethylphenol (compound IV) by rat liver microsomal preparations in the presence of NADPH and air. The oxidation of compound (I) by m-chloroperbenzoic acid also produced the same compounds. These results suggest that hydroperoxide can be an intermediate in aromatic hydroxylation and that biological oxygenations resemble per-acid reactions.

The TRI11 gene of Fusarium sporotrichioides encodes a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase required for C-15 hydroxylation in trichothecene biosynthesis.

Project description:Several genes in the trichothecene biosynthetic pathway of Fusarium sporotrichioides have been shown to reside in a gene cluster. Sequence analysis of a cloned DNA fragment located 3.8 kb downstream from TRI5 has led to the identification of the TRI11 gene. The nucleotide sequence of TRI11 predicts a polypeptide of 492 residues (Mr = 55,579) with significant similarity to members of the cytochrome P-450 superfamily. TRI11 is most similar to several fungal cytochromes P-450 (23 to 27% identity) but is sufficiently distinct to define a new cytochrome P-450 gene family, designated CYP65A1. Disruption of TRI11 results in an altered trichothecene production phenotype characterized by the accumulation of isotrichodermin, a trichothecene pathway intermediate. The evidence suggests that TRI11 encodes a C-15 hydroxylase involved in trichothecene biosynthesis.
