The biodegradation of chloronaphthalene (CN) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by the white-rot fungus Phlebia lindtneri, which can degrade dichlorinated dioxins and non-chlorinated dioxin-like compounds, was investigated. Naphthalene, phenanthrene, 1-chloronaphthalene (1-CN) and 2-chloronaphthalene (2-CN) were metabolized by the fungus to form several oxidized products. Naphthalene and phenanthrene were metabolized to the corresponding hydroxylated and dihydrodihydroxylated metabolites. 2-CN was metabolized to 3-chloro-2-naphtol, 6-chloro-1-naphtol and two other chloronaphtols, CN-dihydrodiols and CN-diols. Significant inhibition of the degradation of these substrates was observed when they were incubated with the cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase inhibitors 1-aminobenzotriazole and piperonyl butoxide. These results suggest that P. lindtneri initially oxidizes these substrates by a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase. 相似文献

The arylcyclopropanes (cyclopropylarenes) cyclopropylbenzene and diphenylcyclopropane are oxidized by rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, both by the microsomal fraction and by the purified cytochrome in a reconstituted system. The products formed, principally benzoic acid, are due to an unusual triple oxidation of the substrate, which probably remains attached to the active site during the several steps of the oxidation. Both substrates were found to be inhibitors of the cytochrome P-450-dependent O-de-ethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin. Model oxidation studies with cumene hydroperoxide as oxidizing agent and rabbit liver microsomal fraction as source of enzyme gave similar products to the microsomal and reconstituted systems. The significance of these results in the mechanism of oxidation catalysed by cytochrome P-450 is discussed. 相似文献

The enzymatic mechanisms involved in the degradation of phenanthrene by the white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus were examined. Phase I metabolism (cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase and epoxide hydrolase) and phase II conjugation (glutathione S-transferase, aryl sulfotransferase, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, and UDP-glucosyltransferase) enzyme activities were determined for mycelial extracts of P. ostreatus. Cytochrome P-450 was detected in both cytosolic and microsomal fractions at 0.16 and 0.38 nmol min(sup-1) mg of protein(sup1), respectively. Both fractions oxidized [9,10-(sup14)C]phenanthrene to phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol. The cytochrome P-450 inhibitors 1-aminobenzotriazole (0.1 mM), SKF-525A (proadifen, 0.1 mM), and carbon monoxide inhibited the cytosolic and microsomal P-450s differently. Cytosolic and microsomal epoxide hydrolase activities, with phenanthrene 9,10-oxide as the substrate, were similar, with specific activities of 0.50 and 0.41 nmol min(sup-1) mg of protein(sup-1), respectively. The epoxide hydrolase inhibitor cyclohexene oxide (5 mM) significantly inhibited the formation of phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol in both fractions. The phase II enzyme 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene glutathione S-transferase was detected in the cytosolic fraction (4.16 nmol min(sup-1) mg of protein(sup-1)), whereas aryl adenosine-3(prm1)-phosphate-5(prm1)-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase (aryl PAPS sulfotransferase) UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, and UDP-glucosyltransferase had microsomal activities of 2.14, 4.25, and 4.21 nmol min(sup-1) mg of protein(sup-1), respectively, with low activity in the cytosolic fraction. However, when P. ostreatus culture broth incubated with phenanthrene was screened for phase II metabolites, no sulfate, glutathione, glucoside, or glucuronide conjugates of phenanthrene metabolites were detected. These experiments indicate the involvement of cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase and epoxide hydrolase in the initial phase I oxidation of phenanthrene to form phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol. Laccase and manganese-independent peroxidase were not involved in the initial oxidation of phenanthrene. Although P. ostreatus had phase II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, conjugation reactions were not important for the elimination of hydroxylated phenanthrene. 相似文献

The cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase system possesses catalytic activity toward many exogenous compounds (e.g., drugs, insecticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and endogenous compounds (e.g., steroids, fatty acids, and prostaglandins). Multiple forms of cytochrome P-450 with different substrate specificities have been isolated. In the present paper we report the isolation and sequence of a cDNA clone for the human hepatic cytochrome P-450 responsible for mephenytoin (an anticonvulsant) oxidation. The mephenytoin cytochrome P-450 is analogous to the rat cytochrome P-450 form termed PB-1 (family P450C2C). We also report that human PB-1 is encoded by one of a small family of related genes all of which map to human chromosome 10q24.1-10q24.3. The endogenous role of this enzyme appears to be in steroid oxidations. This cytochrome P-450 family does not correspond to any of the hepatic cytochrome P-450 gene families previously mapped in humans. 相似文献

Inhibition of the microsomal N-hydroxylation of 2-amino-6-nitrotoluene by a metabolite of methimazole 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Inhibition studies were used to investigate the identity of the microsomal enzyme(s) responsible for the NADPH-dependent N-hydroxylation of 2-amino-6-nitrotoluene. The N-hydroxylation reaction was inhibited by several cytochrome P-450 inhibitors as well as by methimazole, a substrate for flavin-containing monooxygenase. Heat inactivation of flavin-containing monooxygenase had no effect on the rate of the reaction but abolished the inhibition by methimazole. These results indicate that the flavin-containing monooxygenase-mediated metabolism of methimazole produced an inhibitor of the cytochrome P-450-catalyzed N-hydroxylation reaction. When glutathione was included in the incubation the inhibition by methimazole was abolished, presumably due to the reduction of oxygenated metabolites of methimazole. These results show that methimazole inhibition does not necessarily implicate flavin-containing monooxygenase in microsomal N-hydroxylation reactions. 相似文献

Oxidation of deuterated compounds by high specific activity methane monooxygenase from Methylosinus trichosporium. Mechanistic implications 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Hydrocarbon oxidations catalyzed by methane monooxygenase purified to high specific activity from the type II methanotroph Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b were compared to the same reactions catalyzed by methane monooxygenase from the type I methanotroph Methylococcus capsulatus Bath and liver microsomal cytochrome P-450. The two methane monooxygenases produced nearly identical product distributions, in accord with physical studies of the enzymes which have shown them to be very similar. The products obtained from the oxidation of a series of deuterated substrates by the M. trichosporium methane monooxygenase were very similar to those reported for the same reaction catalyzed by liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, suggesting that the enzymes use similar mechanisms. However, differences in the product distributions and other aspects of the reactions indicated the mechanisms are not identical. Methane monooxygenase epoxidized propene in D2O and d6-propene in H2O without exchange of substrate protons or deuterons with solvent, in contrast to cytochrome P-450 (Groves, J. T., Avaria-Neisser, G. E., Fish, K. M., Imachi, M., and Kuczkowski, R. L. (1986) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 108, 3837-3838), suggesting that the mechanism of epoxidation of olefins by methane monooxygenase differs at least in part from that of cytochrome P-450. Hydroxylation of alkanes by methane monooxygenase revealed close similarities to hydroxylations by cytochrome P-450. Allylic hydroxylation of 3,3,6,6-d4-cyclohexene occurred with approximately 20% allylic rearrangement in the case of methane monooxygenase, whereas 33% was reported for this reaction catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 (Groves, J. T., and Subramanian, D. V. (1984) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 106, 2177-2181). Similarly, hydroxylation of exo,exo,exo,exo-2,3,5,6-d4-norbornane by methane monooxygenase occurred with epimerization, but to a lesser extent than reported for cytochrome P-450 (Groves, J. T., McClusky, G. A., White, R. E., and Coon, M. J. (1978) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 81, 154-160). A large intramolecular isotope effect, kH,exo/kD,exo greater than or equal to 5.5, was calculated for this reaction. However, the intermolecular kinetic isotope effect on Vm for methane oxidation was small, suggesting that steps other than C-H bond breakage were rate limiting in the overall enzymatic reaction. Similar isotope effects have been observed for cytochrome P-450. These observations indicate a stepwise mechanism of hydroxylation for methane monooxygenase analogous to that proposed for cytochrome P-450.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Rat liver microsomes oxidize pyrazole to 4-hydroxypyrazole and this oxidation is increased in microsomes isolated from rats treated with inducers of cytochrome P-450 IIE1, such as pyrazole or ethanol. A reconstituted system containing the P-450 IIE1, purified from pyrazole-treated rats, oxidized pyrazole to 4-hydroxypyrazole in a time- and P-450-dependent manner. Oxidation of pyrazole was dependent on the concentration of pyrazole over the range of 0.15 mM to 1.0 mM. In isolated microsomes, glycerol inhibited pyrazole oxidation by about 50% under concentration conditions which occur in the reconstituted system; hence, the values for pyrazole oxidation by the reconstituted systems are underestimated because of the presence of glycerol. Oxidation of pyrazole was inhibited by competitive substrates for P-450 IIE1, such as 4-methylpyrazole, aniline and ethanol, as well as by an antibody raised against the pyrazole-induced P-450 IIE1. Thus, pyrazole is an effective substrate for oxidation by purified P-450 IIE1, extending the substrate specificity of this isozyme to potent inhibitors of alcohol dehydrogenase. 相似文献

The yeast-like fungus Exophiala jeanselmei degrades styrene via initial oxidation of the vinyl side chain to phenylacetic acid, which is subsequently hydroxylated to homogentisic acid. The initial reactions are catalyzed by a NADPH- and flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent styrene monooxygenase, a styrene oxide isomerase, and a NAD(+)-dependent phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The reduced CO-difference spectrum of microsomal preparations of styrene-grown cells shows a characteristic absorption maximum at 450 nm, which strongly suggests the involvement of a cytochrome P-450-dependent styrene monooxygenase. Inhibition of styrene monooxygenase activity in cell extracts by cytochrome P-450 inhibitors SKF-525-A, metyrapone, and CO confirms this assumption. 相似文献

A functionally active system of microsomal monooxygenases has been found in a long-term transplanted tumor MC-II of C57B1/6j mice. In microsomal fraction of the tumor, one could detect cytochrome P-450 and benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase (BP hydroxylase) activity. The latter one increased more than 2 times after the animals received 3-MC and aroclor 1254. In in-vitro experiments, the microsomal monooxygenase inhibitors, SKF 525-A and metyrapone, did not affect BP hydroxylation, whereas alpha-naphthoflavone inhibited the enzyme. It is assumed that tumor MC-II contains hemoprotein that is similar to cytochrome P1-450. 相似文献

Glycerol can be oxidized by rat liver microsomes to formaldehyde in a reaction that requires the production of reactive oxygen intermediates. Studies with inhibitors, antibodies, and reconstituted systems with purified cytochrome P4502E1 were carried out to evaluate whether P450 was required for glycerol oxidation. A purified system containing phospholipid, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, P4502E1, and NADPH oxidized glycerol to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde production was dependent on NADPH, reductase, and P450, but not phospholipid. Formaldehyde production was inhibited by substrates and ligands for P4502E1, as well as by anti-pyrazole P4502E1 IgG. The oxidation of glycerol by the reconstituted system was sensitive to catalase, desferrioxamine, and EDTA but not to superoxide dismutase or mannitol, indicating a role for H2O2 plus non-heme iron, but not superoxide or hydroxyl radical in the overall glycerol oxidation pathway. The requirement for reactive oxygen intermediates for glycerol oxidation is in contrast to the oxidation of typical substrates for P450. In microsomes from pyrazole-treated, but not phenobarbital-treated rats, glycerol oxidation was inhibited by anti-pyrazole P450 IgG, anti-hamster ethanol-induced P450 IgG, and monoclonal antibody to ethanol-induced P450, although to a lesser extent than inhibition of dimethylnitrosamine oxidation. Anti-rabbit P4503a IgG did not inhibit glycerol oxidation at concentrations that inhibited oxidation of dimethylnitrosamine. Inhibition of glycerol oxidation by antibodies and by aminotriazole and miconazole was closely associated with inhibition of H2O2 production. These results indicate that P450 is required for glycerol oxidation to formaldehyde; however, glycerol is not a direct substrate for oxidation to formaldehyde by P450 but is a substrate for an oxidant derived from interaction of iron with H2O2 generated by cytochrome P450. 相似文献

Following the example set by studies of the mechanistic aspects of the substrate specificity of various cytochrome P-450 enzymes, we have undertaken a parallel investigation of the soluble methane monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath). Soluble methane monooxygenase is a multicomponent enzyme with a broad substrate specificity. Using substrates previously tested with cytochrome P-450 enzymes and using purified enzyme preparations, this work indicates that soluble methane monooxygenase has a similar oxidative reaction mechanism to cytochrome P-450 enzymes. The evidence suggests that soluble methane monooxygenase oxidizes substrates via a nonconcerted reaction mechanism (hydrogen abstraction preceding hydroxylation) with radical or carbocation intermediates. Aromatic hydroxylation proceeds by epoxidation followed by an NIH shift. 相似文献

There is very limited information on the biotransformation of organochlorine pesticide chlordane by microorganisms, and no systematic study on the metabolic products and pathways for chlordane transformation by wood-rot fungi has been conducted. In this study, trans-chlordane was metabolized with the wood-rot fungi species Phlebia lindtneri, Phlebia brevispora and Phlebia aurea, which are capable of degrading polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and heptachlor epoxide. At the end of 42 days of incubation, over 50% of trans-chlordane was degraded by the fungal treatments in pure cultures. These fungi transformed trans-chlordane to at least eleven metabolites including a large amount of hydroxylated products such as 3-hydroxychlordane, chlordene chlorohydrin, heptachlor diol, monohydroxychlordene and dihydroxychlordene. P. lindtneri particularly can metabolize oxychlordane, a recalcitrant epoxide product of chlordane, into a hydroxylated product through substitution of chlorine atom by hydroxyl group. The present results suggest that hydroxylation reactions play an important role in the metabolism of trans-chlordane by these Phlebia species. Additionally, transformation of trans-chlordane and production of hydroxylated metabolites were efficiently inhibited by the addition of cytochrome P450 inhibitors, piperonyl butoxide and 1-aminobenzotriazole, demonstrating that fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes are involved in some steps of trans-chlordane metabolism, particularly in the hydroxylation process. 相似文献

Mechanisms of hydroxyl radical formation and ethanol oxidation by ethanol-inducible and other forms of rabbit liver microsomal cytochromes P-450 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The hydroxyl radical-mediated oxidation of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide, benzene, ketomethiolbutyric acid, deoxyribose, and ethanol, as well as superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide formation was quantitated in reconstituted membrane vesicle systems containing purified rabbit liver microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and cytochromes P-450 LM2, P-450 LMeb , or P-450 LM4, and in vesicle systems devoid of cytochrome P-450. The presence of cytochrome P-450 in the membranes resulted in 4-8-fold higher rates of O-2, H2O2, and hydroxyl radical production, indicating that the oxycytochrome P-450 complex constitutes the major source for superoxide anions liberated in the system, giving as a consequence hydrogen peroxide and also, subsequently, hydroxyl radicals formed in an iron-catalyzed Haber-Weiss reaction. Depletion of contaminating iron in the incubation systems resulted in small or negligible rates of cytochrome P-450-dependent ethanol oxidation. However, small amounts (1 microM) of chelated iron (e.g. Fe3+-EDTA) enhanced ethanol oxidation specifically when membranes containing the ethanol and benzene-inducible form of cytochrome P-450 (cytochrome P-450 LMeb ) were used. Introduction of the Fe-EDTA complex into P-450 LMeb -containing incubation systems caused a decrease in hydrogen peroxide formation and a concomitant 6-fold increase in acetaldehyde production; consequently, the rate of NADPH consumption was not affected. In iron-depleted systems containing cytochrome P-450 LM2 or cytochrome P-450 LMeb , an appropriate stoichiometry was attained between the NADPH consumed and the sum of hydrogen peroxide and acetaldehyde produced. Horseradish peroxidase and scavengers of hydroxyl radicals inhibited the cytochrome P-450 LMeb -dependent ethanol oxidation both in the presence and in the absence of Fe-EDTA. The results are not consistent with a specific mechanism for cytochrome P-450-dependent ethanol oxidation and indicate that hydroxyl radicals, formed in an iron-catalyzed Haber-Weiss reaction and in a Fenton reaction, constitute the active oxygen species. Cytochrome P-450-dependent ethanol oxidation under in vivo conditions would, according to this concept, require the presence of non-heme iron and endogenous iron chelators. 相似文献

The effect of flavone and 7,8-benzoflavone on the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene to fluorescent phenols by five cytochrome P-450 isozymes obtained from rabbit liver microsomes was determined. Benzo[a]pyrene metabolism was stimulated more than 5-fold by the addition of 600 microM flavone to a reconstituted monooxygenase system consisting of NADPH, cytochrome P-450 reductase, dilauroylphosphatidylcholine, and cytochrome P-450LM3c or cytochrome P-450LM4. In contrast, an inhibitory effect of flavone on benzo[a]pyrene metabolism was observed when cytochrome P-450LM2, cytochrome P-450LM3b, or cytochrome P-450LM6 was used in the reconstituted system. 7,8-Benzoflavone (50-100 microM) stimulated benzo[a]pyrene metabolism by the reconstituted monooxygenase system about 10-fold when cytochrome P-450LM3c was used, but benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation was strongly inhibited when 7,8-benzoflavone was added to the cytochrome P-450LM6-dependent system. Smaller effects of 7,8-benzoflavone were observed on the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene by the cytochrome P-450LM2-, cytochrome P-450LM3b-, and cytochrome P-450LM4-dependent monooxygenase systems. These results demonstrate that the activating and inhibiting effects of flavone and 7,8-benzoflavone on benzo[a]pyrene metabolism depend on the type of cytochrome P-450 used in the reconstituted monooxygenase system. 相似文献

1. ADH activity of Euglena grown with 50 mM ethanol decreased, but MEOS activity increased with a corresponding increase in the total amount of cytochrome P-450. 2. Phenobarbital treatment increased the total amount of cytochrome P-450. 3. CO and KCN, cytochrome P-450 ligands, diminished acetaldehyde formed from ethanol oxidation by MEOS. 4. The amounts of NAD(P)H cytochrome c reductases and cytochrome b5 type, components of microsomal monooxygenase reaction, have been spectrophotometrically measured. 5. NAD(P)H cytochrome c reductases activities were induced by phenobarbital. 6. DMSO, an inhibitor of rabbit MEOS, inhibited O2 consumption (11-20%) by Euglena grown with an ethanol, but not a lactate medium. 7. These studies indicate the presence of cytochrome P-450-dependent MEOS in Euglena similar to that in the mammalian hepatic cell. 相似文献

Abstract A novel acetol monooxygenase has been detected in Mycobacterium Py1. Extracts of 1,2-propanediol-grown cells oxidized acetol in an oxygen-and NADPH-consuming reaction. The initial oxidation product is probably hydroxymethyleneacetate, which spontaneously rearranges to acetate and formaldehyde. Acetol oxidation was inhibited by carbon monoxide, but not by 10 mM cyanide, indicating that a cytochrome P-450 type oxygenase might be involved. The enzyme activity was only detected in 1,2-propanediol- or acetol-grown cells, suggesting that this acetol monooxygenase plays a role in the metabolism of 1,2-propanediol by Mycobacterium Py1. 相似文献

The effect of substrate on the spin state of oxidized cytochrome P-450 in liver microsomes prepared from phenobarbital-pretreated rats has been examined. Formation of the substrate-induced Type I difference spectrum was found to correlate quantitatively with the disappearance of the ferric low-spin esr signal of cytochrome P-450. The dissociation constant of substrate for oxidized cytochrome P-450 obtained by optical methods was found to be the same as that obtained from esr methods provided that the same high microsomal protein concentration was used. However, a decrease in microsomal protein concentration leads to an apparent increase in the affinity of substrate for oxidized cytochrome P-450, indicating a dependence of lipophilic substrate dissociation constants on the membrane concentration. 相似文献

A convenient assay for mephenytoin 4-hydroxylase activity of human liver microsomal cytochrome P-450
A simple and rapid method for the determination of (S)-mephenytoin 4-hydroxylase activity by human liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 has been developed. [Methyl-14C] mephenytoin was synthesized by alkylation of S-nirvanol with 14CH3I and used as a substrate. After incubation of [methyl-14C]mephenytoin with human liver microsomes or a reconstituted monooxygenase system containing partially purified human liver cytochrome P-450, the 4-hydroxylated metabolite of mephenytoin was separated by thin-layer chromatography and quantified. The formation of the metabolite depended on the incubation time, substrate concentration, and cytochrome P-450 concentration and was found to be optimal at pH 7.4. The Km and Vmax rates obtained with a human liver microsomal preparation were 0.1 mM and 0.23 nmol 4-hydroxymephenytoin formed/min/nmol cytochrome P-450, respectively. The hydroxylation activity showed absolute requirements for cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, and NADPH in a reconstituted monooxygenase system. Activities varied from 5.6 to 156 pmol 4-hydroxymephenytoin formed/min/nmol cytochrome P-450 in 11 human liver microsomal preparations. The basic system utilized for the analysis of mephenytoin 4-hydroxylation can also be applied to the estimation of other enzyme activities in which phenol formation occurs. 相似文献

The organic hydroperoxide cumene hydroperoxide is capable of oxidizing ethanol to acetaldehyde in the presence of either catalase, purified cytochrome P-450 or rat liver microsomes. Other hemoproteins like horseradish peroxidase, cytochrome c or hemoglobin were ineffective. In addition to ethanol, higher alcohols like 1-propanol, 1-butanol and 1-pentanol are also oxidized to their corresponding aldehydes to a lesser extent. Other organic hydroxyperoxides will replace cumene hydroperoxide in oxidizing ethanol but less effectively. The cumene-hydroperoxide-dependent ethanol oxidation in microsomes was inhibited partially by cytochrome P-450 inhibitors but was unaffected by catalase inhibitors. Phenobarbital pretreatment of rats increased the specific activity of the cumene-hydroperoxide-dependent ethanol oxidation per mg of microsomes about seven-fold. The evidence suggests that cytochrome P-450 rather than catalase is the enzyme responsible for hydroperoxide-dependent ethanol oxidation. However, when H2O2 is used in place of cumene hydroperoxide, the microsomal ethanol oxidation closely resembles the catalase system. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of pentobarbital-induced cytochrome P-450BM-1 from Bacillus megaterium ATCC 14581 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
When Bacillus megaterium ATCC 14581 is grown in the presence of barbiturates, a cytochrome P-450-dependent fatty acid monooxygenase (Mr 120000) is induced (Kim, B.-H. and Fulco, A.J. (1983) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 116, 843-850). Gel filtration chromatography of a crude monooxygenase preparation from pentobarbital-induced B. megaterium indicated that not all of the induced cytochrome P-450 present in the extract was accounted for by this high-molecular-weight component. Further purification revealed the presence of two additional but smaller cytochrome P-450 species. The minor component, designated cytochrome P-450BM-2, had a molecular mass of about 46 kDa, but has not yet been completely purified or further characterized. The major component, designated cytochrome P-450BM-1, was obtained in pure form, exhibited fatty acid monooxygenase activity in the presence of iodosylbenzenediacetate, and has been extensively characterized. Its Mr of 38000 makes it the smallest cytochrome P-450 yet purified to homogeneity. Although it is a soluble protein, a complete amino acid analysis indicated that it contains 42% hydrophobic residues. By the dansyl chloride procedure the NH2-terminal amino acid is proline; the penultimate NH2-terminal residue is alanine. The absolute absorption spectra of cytochrome P-450BM-1 show maxima in the same general regions as do P-450 cytochromes from mammalian or other bacterial sources, but they differ in detail. The oxidized form of P-450BM-1 has absorption maxima at 414, 533 and 567 nm, while the reduced form has peaks at 410 and 540 nm. The absorption maxima for the CO-reduced form of P-450BM-1 are found at 415, 448 and 550 nm. Antisera from rabbits immunized with pure P-450BM-1 strongly reacted with and precipitated this P-450, but showed no detectable affinity for either the 46 kDa P-450 or the 120 kDa fatty acid monooxygenase. 相似文献
