The isozymes 2 and 4 of rabbit microsomal cytochrome P-450 (LM2, LM4) have been studied by resonance Raman spectroscopy. Based on high quality spectra, a vibrational assignment of the porphyrin modes in the frequency range between 100-1700 cm-1 is presented for different ferric states of cytochrome P-450 LM2 and LM4. The resonance Raman spectra are interpreted in terms of the spin and ligation state of the heme iron and of heme-protein interactions. While in cytochrome P-450 LM2 the six-coordinated low-spin configuration is predominantly occupied, in the isozyme LM4 the five-coordinated high-spin form is the most stable state. The different stability of these two spin configurations in LM2 and LM4 can be attributed to the structures of the active sites. In the low-spin form of the isozymes LM4 the protein matrix forces the heme into a more rigid conformation than in LM2. These steric constraints are removed upon dissociation of the sixth ligand leading to a more flexible structure of the active site in the high-spin form of the isozyme LM4. The vibrational modes of the vinyl groups were found to be characteristic markers for the specific structures of the heme pockets in both isozymes. They also respond sensitively to type-I substrate binding. While in cytochrome P-450 LM4 the occupation of the substrate-binding pocket induces conformational changes of the vinyl groups, as reflected by frequency shifts of the vinyl modes, in the LM2 isozyme the ground-state conformation of these substituents remain unaffected, suggesting that the more flexible heme pocket can accommodate substrates without imposing steric constraints on the porphyrin. The resonance Raman technique makes structural changes visible which are induced by substrate binding in addition and independent of the changes associated with the shift of the spin state equilibrium: the high-spin states in the substrate-bound and substrate-free enzyme are structurally different. The formation of the inactive form, P-420, involves a severe structural rearrangement in the heme binding pocket leading to drastic changes of the vinyl group conformations. The conformational differences of the active sites in cytochromes P-450 LM2 and LM4 observed in this work contribute to the understanding of the structural basis accounting for substrate and product specificity of cytochrome P-450 isozymes.  相似文献

Resonance Raman (RR) and absorption spectroscopic studies of purified rabbit liver cytochromes P-450 show that the form 2 isomer (LM2) but not the form 4 isomer (LM4) forms a long-lived complex with halothane after dithionite reduction, absorbing light at 470 nm, in which ferric 6-coordinated heme iron in the low-spin configuration is liganded to 2-chloro-1,1-difluoroethylene. The RR data exclude the possibility that the CF3CHCl- carbanion is a ligand and are consistent with the involvement of an active-site pocket in the cytochrome P-450 polypeptide.  相似文献

The interaction of highly purified liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 from phenobarbital-induced rabbits and cytochrome b5 has been investigated by the difference and second derivative difference spectroscopy. The addition of cytochrome b5 to cytochrome P-450 results in transition of cytochrome P-450 heme iron from low to high spin state. The interaction is accompanied by the changes in the second derivative spectrum of cytochrome P-450, which point to the participation of tryptophanyl residues in this process. The hydrophilic fragment of cytochrome b5 is unable to form a complex with cytochrome P-450 as judged by the absence of the difference spectrum and any changes in the second derivative UV-spectrum of cytochrome P-450. The evidence obtained indicates that the hydrophobic tail of the cytochrome b5 molecule responsible for its binding to membrane is also indispensable for forming a functional cytochrome P-450-cytochrome b5 complex.  相似文献

Nine distinct monoclonal antibodies raised against purified rat liver cytochrome P-450c react with six different epitopes on the antigen, and one of these epitopes is shared by cytochrome P-450d. None of these monoclonal antibodies recognize seven other purified rat liver isozymes (cytochromes P-450a, b, and e-i) or other proteins in the cytochrome P-450 region of "Western blots" of liver microsomes. Each of the monoclonal antibodies was used to probe "Western blots" of liver microsomes from untreated, or 3-methylcholanthrene-, or isosafrole-treated animals to determine if laboratory animals other than rats possess isozymes immunochemically related to cytochromes P-450c and P-450d. Two protein-staining bands immunorelated to cytochromes P-450c and P-450d were observed in all animals treated with 3-methylcholanthrene (rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, and C57BL/6J mouse) except the DBA/2J mouse, where no polypeptide immunorelated to cytochrome P-450c was detected. The conservation of the number of rat cytochrome P-450c epitopes among these species varied from as few as two (guinea pig) to as many as five epitopes (C57BL/6J mouse and rabbit). The relative mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-gels of polypeptides immunorelated to cytochromes P-450c and P-450d was similar in all species examined except the guinea pig, where the polypeptide related to cytochrome P-450c had a smaller Mr than cytochrome P-450d. With the use of both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, we were able to establish that purified rabbit cytochromes P-450 LM4 and P-450 LM6 are immunorelated to rat cytochromes P-450d and P-450c, respectively.  相似文献

Cytochrome P-450scc (cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme) was purified from porcine adrenocortical mitochondria. 2. The purified cytochrome P-450scc was found to be homogeneous on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 3. The heme content of the purified enzyme was 20.6 nmol/mg protein. 4. The enzymatic activity of the reconstituted cytochrome P-450scc-linked monooxygenase system amounted to 7.8 nmol of pregnenolone formed per nmole of P-450 per minute, with cholesterol as a substrate. 5. The amino acid sequence of the amino-terminal region of the cytochrome P-450scc and the amino acid residue at the carboxyl terminal were determined and compared with those of other mammalian cytochromes P-450scc.  相似文献

A purified low-spin form of cytochrome P-450 was isolated from phenobarbital-induced rabbit liver microsomes. The preparation was functionally active and free from cytochromes b5 and P-420 and phospholipids. The specific content of the cytochrome was 18 nmoles per mg of protein. At the molecular weight of the hemoprotein of 50,000, it corresponds to 90% of purification. The purified hemoprotein binds substrates of type II and some substrates of type I. The complexes formed reveal spectral properties, similar to those for the complexes of these substrates with the microsomal form of cytochrome P-450.  相似文献

Four cytochromes P-450 induced by phenobarbital (PB-1--PB-4) and two cytochromes P-450 induced by S-methylcholanthrene (MC-1, MC-2) were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from rat liver microsomes. The purification procedure involved sequential chromatography on n-aminooctyl-Sepharose 4B, DEAE-Sephacel and hydroxylapatite columns. The spectral and immunochemical properties of the cytochromes P-450 were estimated. All, but MC-1, cytochromes P-450 were found to exist in a low spin state. Using the Ouchterlony double diffusion method, it was shown that all cytochromes P-450 under study can be divided into two groups, i. e., PB-1--PB-2 and PB-3--PB-4, sharing common antigenic determinants inside the groups. High performance liquid chromatography of PB-3 and MC-2 on anion-exchangers yielded two additional peaks from the PB-induced major cytochrome P-450 PB-3 and three peaks from the MC-induced major cytochrome P-450 MC-2. The multiplicity of cytochrome P-450 forms is discussed.  相似文献

Cytochrome P-450 was purified from bovine adrenal cortex mitochondria by affinity chromatography using an octylamine-substituted Sepharose column. The resulting optically clear preparation was stable at -20 degrees for months. The specific concentration of cytochrome P-450 in the preparation was about 5 nmol of heme per mg of protein. The preparations were free of adrenodoxin, adrenodoxin reductase, phospholipids, and other heme contaminations. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified cytochrome P-450 preparation treated with sodium dodecyl sulfate and mercaptoethanol showed a single major band with a molecular weight of about 60,000. The optical absorption spectra of the preparation exhibited Soret maxima at 416, 416, and 448 nm for the Fe3+, Fe2+ and the C.Fe2+ complex, respectively. The EPR spectrum showed the characteristic features of the low spin form of ferric cytochrome P-450 with principal components 1.914, 2.241, and 2.415 of the g-tensor. The circular dichroism spectrum revealed two large negative ellipticities at 412 and 350 nm. Fluorescence spectra showed an excitation maximum at 285 nm and an emission maximum at 305 nm with a shoulder at 330 nm as the cytochrome P-450 molecule is excited at 285 nm, or an emission maximum at 335 nm when the cytochrome molecule is excited at 305 nm. After reconstitution with adrenodoxin and its reductase, this cytochrome P-450 was highly active for cholesterol desmolase with an NADPH-generating system as electron donor but was not active for steroid 11beta-hydroxylase.  相似文献

The zwitterionic detergent 3-(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) supports reconstituted cyclohexane hydroxylase activity of cytochrome P-450LM2 and NADPH-cytochrome reductase purified from phenobarbital-induced rabbit liver. Maximum activity (approximately 50% of that with phospholipid) was observed at 2 mM CHAPS. Inhibition took place at higher CHAPS, until at 20 mM CHAPS, no cyclohexane hydroxylase activity was observed. There was little denaturation of the two enzymes under these conditions. At 2 mM CHAPS, P-450LM2 was pentameric (Mr = 250,000) and reductase was dimeric (Mr = 139,500) by sedimentation equilibrium. P-450 was monomeric in 20 mM CHAPS. In addition, a stable complex between the two enzymes was not detected under conditions of maximum activity, even in the presence of saturating substrate. This confirms our previous conclusion that a stable complex between cytochrome P-450LM2 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase is not a prerequisite for reconstituted xenobiotic hydroxylation (Dean, W. L., and Gray, R. D. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 14679-14685). Difference spectra of ferric P-450LM2 revealed that below 5 mM CHAPS, the high spin form of the cytochrome was slightly stabilized, while higher CHAPS levels stabilized the low spin form. Monomeric P-450LM2 formed with 20 mM CHAPS catalyzed the hydroxylation of toluene by cumene hydroperoxide. Thus, the reason that monomeric cytochrome P-450LM2 was inactive in NADPH-supported hydroxylation may either be because the bound detergent blocked productive interaction of the cytochrome with reductase or the monomer may be intrinsically incapable of interaction with reductase.  相似文献

In this report we provide data, for the first time, demonstrating the conversion of the heme moiety of certain cytochrome P-450 and P-420 preparations, to biliverdin, catalyzed by heme oxygenase. We have used purified preparations of cytochromes P-450c, P-450b, P-450/P-420c, or P-450/P-420b as substrates in a heme oxygenase assay system reconstituted with heme oxygenase isoforms, HO-2 or HO-1, NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductase, biliverdin reductase, NADPH, and Emulgen 911. With cytochrome P-450b or P-450/P-420b preparations, a near quantitative conversion of degraded heme to bile pigments was observed. In the case of cytochrome P-450/P-420c approximately 70% of the degraded heme was accounted for as bilirubin but only cytochrome P-420c was appreciably degraded. The role of heme oxygenase in this reaction was supported by the following observations: (i) bilirubin formation was not observed when heme oxygenase was omitted from the assay system; (ii) the rate of degradation of the heme moiety was at least threefold greater with heme oxygenase and NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductase than that observed with reductase alone; and (iii) the presence of Zn- or Sn-protoporphyrins (2 microM), known competitive inhibitors of heme oxygenase, resulted in 70-90% inhibition of bilirubin formation.  相似文献

Low-temperature EPR examination of rat liver microsomes from control, phenobarbital-treated, and methylcholanthrene-treated animals showed the presence of both high- and low-spin ferric cytochromes P-450 and P-448. Partially purified cytochromes P-450 (from control and phenobarbital-treated rats) and P-448 (from methylcholanthrene-treated rats) were also examined with EPR. In all cases, both high- and low-spin ferric forms of cytochromes P-450 and P-448 could be observed and were found to be essentially identical compared to the microsomal preparations. However, the level of high-spin species in the soluble P-448 preparation from methylcholanthrene-treated animals was less than could be observed in the liver microsomes from the same animals. The addition of substrates increased the concentration of the high-spin form in the soluble preparations obtained from drug-treated animals. Thus, cytochromes P-450 and P-448 exist as mixtures of high- and low-spin forms. It is concluded that the substrate specificity of these cytochromes is not predetermined by the spin state of the hemoprotein. In all liver microsomal and soluble preparations, the low-spin ferric form of the hemoprotein consisted of more than a single species as determined from the EPR examinations. Each of these species upon reduction and the addition of CO yielded an identical optical spectrum. In all cases, for the ferric protein, a mercaptide sulfur is believed to be a heme ligand while the other heme ligand is variable.  相似文献

Methoxyflurane is an anesthetic whose metabolism by cytochrome P-450LM2 has been shown to be dependent upon a heat-stable microsomal protein (Canova-Davis, E., and Waskell, L. A. (1982) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 108, 1264-1270). Treatment of this protein with diethylpyrocarbonate, which modifies selected amino acids, caused a dose-dependent loss in its ability to effect the metabolism of methoxyflurane by purified cytochrome P-450LM2. This protein factor has been identified as cytochrome b5 by demonstrating that cytochrome b5 and the heat-stable factor coelute during cytochrome b5 purification. Neither ferriheme nor apocytochrome b5 was able to substitute for the activating factor, while cytochrome b5 reconstituted from apocytochrome b5 and heme exhibited an activity similar to that of native b5. Examination of the cytochrome b5 molecule by computer graphics suggested that diethylpyrocarbonate did not inactivate b5 by reacting with the anionic surface of the cytochrome b5 molecule. Maximal rates of methoxyflurane metabolism were obtained at a ratio of 1:1:1 of the three proteins, cytochrome P-450LM2:reductase:cytochrome b5. In summary, it has been demonstrated that the heat-stable protein, cytochrome b5, is obligatory for the metabolism of methoxyflurane by cytochrome P-450LM2. These data also suggest that cytochrome b5 may be acting as an electron donor to P-450LM2 in the O-demethylation of methoxyflurane.  相似文献

N,N-Dimethylaniline when added to reaction mixtures provokes deviation from Michaelis-Menten law of the interaction kinetics of NADPH-cytochrome c(P-450) reductase (NADPH:ferrihaemoprotein oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.2.4) with highly purified phenobarbital-induced rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 (P-450LM2). This phenomenon is not associated with the low-to-high spin transition in the iron-coordination sphere of the haemoprotein, as elicited by the arylamine. Substrate-triggered departure from linearity of the kinetics is abolished by inclusion into the assay media of p-chloromercuribenzoate, hinting at a vital role in the process of thiols. Similarly, the parabolic progress curve (nH = 1.7) is transformed to a straight line (nH = 1.01) when the N-terminal reductase-binding domain in the P-450LM2 molecule is selectively blocked through covalent attachment of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC); such a modification does not alter the affinity of the haemoprotein for the amine substrate. Steady-state fluorescence polarization measurements reveal that N,N-dimethylaniline perturbs the motional properties of the fluorophore-bearing reductase-binding region, suggesting the induction of a conformational change. Summarizing these results, the data possibly indicate N,N-dimethylaniline-induced cooperativity in the association of reductase with P-450LM2.  相似文献

A form of cytochrome P-450 catalyzing lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylation (tentatively called "P-450(14)DM") was purified from microsomes of semi-anaerobically grown cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to gel electrophoretic homogeneity. An apparent monomeric Mr = 58,000 was estimated for the purified cytochrome by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both optical and EPR spectra of oxidized P-450(14)DM are characteristic of low spin ferric heme proteins, and its reduced CO complex showed a Soret absorption peak at 447 nm. As in the case of hepatic microsomal cytochromes P-450, the ethyl isocyanide complex of reduced P-450(14)DM was in a pH-dependent equilibrium between two states having Soret peaks at 429 and 453 nm, the equilibrium being considerably shifted toward the 453-nm state. Oxidized P-450(14)DM was peculiar in that in its CD spectrum there was a negative shoulder at 425 nm and the 350- and 414-nm troughs possessed larger and relatively smaller [theta] values, respectively, than those reported for other low spin ferric cytochromes P-450. Lanosterol was the only compound which caused a Type I spectral change in oxidized P-450(14)DM. The lanosterol-induced low to high spin state change was, however, only slight even at saturating concentrations of the sterol, indicating that the lanosterol-P-450(14)DM adduct was in a spin state equilibrium.  相似文献

Native cytochrome b5 interacts with either RLM5 or LM2 to form tight equimolar complexes (Kd = 250 and 540 nM, respectively) in which the content of high spin cytochrome P-450 was substantially increased. Cytochrome b5 caused 3- and 7-fold increases in the binding affinities of RLM5 and LM2 for benzphetamine, respectively, and benzphetamine decreased the apparent Kd for cytochrome b5 binding. Upon formation of the ternary complex between cytochromes P-450, b5, and benzphetamine the percentage of cytochrome P-450 in the high spin state was increased from 28 to 74 (RLM5) and from 9 to 85 (LM2). Cytochrome b5 caused 13- and 7-fold increases in the rate of RLM5- and LM2-dependent p-nitroanisole demethylation, respectively. Amino-modified (ethyl acetimidate or acetic anhydride) cytochrome b5 produced results similar to those obtained above with native cytochrome b5. In contrast, modification of as few as 5 mol of carboxyl groups/mol of amidinated cytochrome b5 resulted in both a substantial loss of the spectrally observed interactions with either cytochrome P-450 LM2 or cytochrome P-450 RLM5, and in a loss of the cytochrome b5-mediated stimulation of p-nitroanisole demethylation catalyzed by either monooxygenase. In further studies, native and fully acetylated cytochromes b5 reoxidized carbonmonoxy ferrous LM2 at least 20 times faster than amidinated, carboxyl-modified cytochrome b5 derivatives. In contrast, amidination, or acetylation of amino groups, or amidination of amino groups plus methylamidination of the carboxyl groups did not appreciably slow the rate of reduction of the cytochrome b5 by NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. Collectively, the results provide strong evidence for an essential role of cytochrome b5 carboxyl groups in functional interactions with RLM5 and LM2.  相似文献

Incorporation of detergent-solubilized cytochrome b5 into phenobarbital-induced rabbit liver microsomal fractions decelerates hexobarbital-dependent reduction of ferric cytochrome P-450; this is accompanied by retardation of NADPH utilization and H2O2 formation in the assay media. Integration of manganese-substituted cytochrome b5 into the microsomal preparations fails to affect these parameters. Analysis of the cytochrome P-450 reduction kinetics in the presence of increasing amounts of cytochrome b5 reveals a gradual augmentation of the amplitude of slow-phase electron transfer at the expense of the relative contribution of the fast phase; finally, a slow, apparently monophasic reaction persists. This defect in enzymatic reduction is not due to detergent effects and also does not seem to reflect cytochrome b5-induced perturbation of anchoring of NADPH-cytochrome c(P-450) reductase to cytochrome P-450. Experiments with the highly purified cytochrome P-450 isozyme LM2, in which amino acid residue(s) close to the heme edge had undergone suicidal inactivation through covalent attachment of chloramphenicol metabolite(s) do not exclude the possibility that cytochrome b5 and reductase might compete for a common electron transmission site on the terminal acceptor. Hence, the inhibitory action of cytochrome b5 on the reduction of ferric cytochrome P-450 is tentatively attributed to partial substitution of the former pigment for reductase in direct transport of the first electron to the monooxygenase.  相似文献

A form of cytochrome P-450 which comigrates with cytochrome P-450LM4 (molecular weight, 55 000) on SDS-polyacrylamide gel was purified from liver microsomes of cholestyramine-treated rabbits. This form of cytochrome P-450 catalyzed the 7 alpha-hydroxylation of cholesterol with an activity of 37.5 pmol/min per nmol cytochrome P-450 in the reconstituted enzyme system containing cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. The substrate specificity of this form of cytochrome P-450 was compared with cytochrome P-450LM4 isolated from phenobarbital- and beta-naphthoflavone-treated rabbit liver microsomes. The latter two isoenzymes do not catalyze 7 alpha-hydroxylation of cholesterol, but are more active in O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin and p-nitrophenetole. Ouchterlony double diffusion revealed cross-reactivity between anti-P-450LM4 (phenobarbital) IgG and cytochrome P-450 isolated from cholestyramine- or beta-naphthoflavone-treated rabbit liver microsomes. A two-dimensional iodinated tryptic peptide fingerprint indicated only minor structural differences among these three cytochrome P-450LM4 preparations.  相似文献

The changes in the content of purified isolated cytochrome P-450 LM2 under the action of hydrogen peroxide and during its operation in a soluble reconstituted system were studied. It was found that cytochrome P-450 LM2 inactivation by hydrogen peroxide is accompanied by a decrease in the hemoprotein activity, loss of heme, oxidation of SH-groups and changes in the oligomeric state of the enzyme. There were some differences in the mechanisms of cytochrome P-450 LM2 inactivation under the action of H2O2 and during catalysis.  相似文献

Inactivation rate of purified oligomeric cytochrome P-450 LM2 has been investigated in glucose oxidase system and under the action of exogenous hydrogen peroxide (400 microM). It has been found that hydrogen peroxide has a distinct inactivating effect on cytochrome P-450. The enzyme inactivation is accompanied by the loss of heme and the decrease in SH-group content in the protein molecule. Benzphetamine, a substrate specific for this enzyme isoform, exerts a protective effect by decreasing the rate of cytochrome P-450 inactivation and SH-group oxidation. Similar results have been obtained during the investigation of cytochrome P-450 inactivation in the monomerized system. It has been found that the inactivation process is accompanied by the formation of the enzyme aggregates. The changes in the aggregate state are due to the formation of intermolecular covalent bonds.  相似文献

Cytochrome P-450j has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from isoniazid-treated adult male rats; and this enzyme appears to be a major protein induced in hepatic microsomes after administration of isoniazid, as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The hemoprotein has a minimum molecular weight of approximately 51,500, and the ferrous-carbonyl complex of cytochrome P-450j has a Soret maximum at 451-452 nm. The oxidized heme iron appears to be predominately in the high spin state as deduced from the Soret maximum at 395 nm. Ethylisocyanide binds to ferrous cytochrome P-450j to yield spectral maxima at approximately 458 and 430 nm with a resultant 458/430 ratio of 0.7 at pH 7.4. Cytochrome P-450j has no measurable catalytic activity for the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (3- and 9-hydroxylation), hexobarbital, testosterone, and 5 alpha-androstane-3 alpha,17 beta-diol-3,17-disulfate. Low, but detectable, catalytic activity is obtained for the metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin, benzphetamine, p-nitroanisole, zoxazolamine, and 2-hydroxylation of 17 beta-estradiol. In contrast, cytochrome P-450j effectively catalyzes p-hydroxylation of aniline with a turnover of 12.7 nmol/min/nmol cytochrome P-450j. Hydroxyl radical scavengers, Fe-EDTA, superoxide dismutase, and catalase have no effect on aniline p-hydroxylation catalyzed by cytochrome P-450j. Cytochrome P-450j is distinct from nine other rat hepatic microsomal cytochromes P-450 (P-450a-P-450i) previously purified in this laboratory, as well as different isozymes described by other investigators, based on several parameters including minimum molecular weight, spectral properties, and catalytic activity. In Ouchterlony double diffusion plates, antibodies against cytochromes P-450a-P-450f show no cross-reaction with cytochrome P-450j. Structural differences among cytochromes P-450a-P-450j are apparent from the NH2-terminal sequence of cytochrome P-450j, as well as the electrophoretic profiles of proteolytic digests of the hemoproteins.  相似文献
