We have recently purified three distinct forms of fatty acid omega-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 (P-450), designated P-450ka-1, P-450ka-2 and P-450kd, from rabbit kidney cortex microsomes, and isolated and sequenced cDNA clones corresponding to P-450ka-1 and P-450ka-2 [Yokotani, N., Bernhardt, R., Sogawa, K., Kusunose, E., Gotoh, M., Kusunose, M. & Fujii-Kuriyama, Y. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 21,665-21,669]. The present paper describes cloning, sequencing and expression of a cDNA for the third fatty acid, omega-hydroxylase, P-450kd, from a rabbit kidney cDNA library. The cDNA for P-450kd encodes a polypeptide of 511 amino acids with sequence similarity of 87% to P-450ka-1. Its deduced NH2-terminal sequence of amino acids 5-24 is in complete agreement with the NH2-terminal sequence of P-450kd. The identity of the cDNA was further confirmed by its expression in COS-7 cells. When 14C-labeled lauric acid was added to the culture medium of COS-7 cells transfected with the cDNA, significant amounts of radioactive dodecanedioic acid, together with omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylauric acids, were produced. Microsomes prepared from the transfected cells also efficiently catalyzed the omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of lauric acid without formation of dodecanedioic acid. RNA blot analysis demonstrated that the mRNA for P-450kd gave a single band at the approximately 2.6-kb position. The mRNA for P-450kd was expressed in the liver and kidney, but not in many other tissues examined. Treatment of rabbits with clofibrate resulted in a elevated level of mRNA for P-450kd in both liver and kidney. Furthermore, the mRNA was remarkably increased in the kidney by the administration of cyclosporin A.  相似文献

We have isolated and analyzed cDNA (designated P-450HP cDNA) clones from a human placenta cDNA library, using the cDNA for rabbit pulmonary cytochrome P-450p-2, a prostaglandin omega-hydroxylase, as a hybridization probe. The cDNA obtained encoded a polypeptide comprising 511 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 58987 Da, and the amino acid sequence similarity with P-450p-2 and rat liver laurate omega-hydroxylase (P-450LA omega) was only about 50%. RNA blot analysis showed that the mRNA hybridizable with the human P-450HP cDNA was inducibly expressed 3-5-fold in rabbit small intestine and lung by gestation, but the expression remained constant in rabbit liver and kidney. This mode of expression was quite different from that of P-450p-2 and P-450LA omega. Interestingly, the mRNA hybridized with the cDNA of P-450HP was found to be expressed in all the human tumor tissues so far examined, in sharp contrast with the facts that almost all the other species of P-450s are known to disappear in the tumor tissues. Taken together, the deduced hemoprotein termed P-450HP dose not seem to be the human counterpart of rabbit P-450p-2 or rat P-450LA omega, and is presumably a new member of the P-450 family including P-450p-2 and P-450LA omega. Furthermore, the corresponding genomic DNA was also cloned and analyzed. The gene of P-450HP spanned 18.8 kb and was separated into 11 exons by 10 introns whose locations were completely different from those of P-450 genes so far determined.  相似文献

Prostaglandin omega-hydroxylase, designated as cytochrome P-450 LPG omega (P-450 LPG omega), has been purified, to a specific content of 15 nmol of cytochrome P-450/mg of protein, from liver microsomes of pregnant rabbits. The purified P-450 LPG omega was found to be homogeneous on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and to have an apparent molecular weight of 52,000. The enzyme showed a maximum at 450 nm in the carbon monoxide (CO)-difference spectrum for its reduced form. This cytochrome P-450 efficiently catalyzed the omega-hydroxylation of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF 2 alpha), prostaglandin A1 (PGA1), and prostaglandin A2 (PGA2), as well as the omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of myristate and palmitate, in a reconstituted system containing cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, phospholipid, and cytochrome b5. Various monovalent and divalent cations further stimulated these reactions in the presence of cytochrome b5. In addition, the reactions were also markedly enhanced by various organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone. This cytochrome P-450 showed no detectable activity toward several xenobiotics tested. P-450 LPG omega was very similar or identical to the pulmonary prostaglandin omega-hydroxylase (P-450p-2) (Yamamoto, S., Kusunose, E., Ogita, K., Kaku, M., Ichihara, K., & Kusunose, M. (1984) J. Biochem. 96, 593-603) in its molecular weight, absorption spectra, catalytic activity, peptide mapping pattern, and N-terminal amino acid sequence. However, P-450 LPG omega was more unstable than P-450p-2 on storage. In sharp contrast to P-450p-2, P-450 LPG omega was not induced by progesterone.  相似文献

We have isolated a cDNA clone for a P-450, designated P-450ib (Ichihara, K., Kusunose, E., Kaku, M., Yamamoto, S., and Kusunose, M. (1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 831, 99-105), from a cDNA library of rabbit small intestine mucosa by using synthetic DNA fragment by the polymerase chain reaction, as a hybridization probe. The cDNA with a 1,829-base pair insert encodes a polypeptide of 501 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence contains all of the sequences of the NH2-terminal and 14 tryptic fragments from purified P-450ib. As the NH2-terminal methionine was not found in the sequence from the purified protein, the apoprotein of P-450ib is composed of 500 amino acids with a molecular weight of 57,193. P-450ib shows 35-41% sequence similarity with several members of 8 subfamilies in the P-450 II family, whereas it has a less than 30% sequence similarity with other P-450 families, suggesting that this P-450 is the first member of a novel subfamily within the P-450 II family. RNA blot analysis shows that mRNA hybridized to the cDNA is expressed in the small intestine, but not significantly in other tissues including liver, colon, kidney, lung, spleen, brain, stomach, and cecum, indicating that P-450ib is a P-450 specific to the small intestine. The protein expressed in COS-7 cells using the cDNA in an expression vector, pKCRH2, shows benzphetamine N-demethylase activity and gives a band identical with that of P-450ib in its mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.  相似文献

The microsomes of placenta and uterus from pregnant rabbits have been found to catalyze the omega-hydroxylation of PGE1, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, and PGA1 as well as the omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of palmitate and myristate in the presence of NADPH. These activities were greatly inhibited by carbon monoxide, indicating the involvement of cytochrome P-450. The apparent Km for PGE1 was 2.38 microM and 2.1 microM with the placental and uterus microsomes, respectively. Cytochrome P-450 has been solubilized with 1% cholate from the placental microsomes, and partially purified by chromatography on 6-amino-n-hexyl Sepharose 4B, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and hydroxylapatite columns. The partially purified cytochrome P-450 efficiently catalyzed the omega-hydroxylation of various prostaglandins such as PGE1, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, PGD2, and PGA1 in a reconstituted system containing NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, cytochrome b5, and phosphatidylcholine. The reconstituted system also hydroxylated palmitate and myristate at the omega- and (omega-1)-position, but could not hydroxylate laurate. These catalytic properties resemble those of a new form of cytochrome P-450 highly purified from the lung microsomes of progesterone-treated rabbits (Yamamoto, S., Kusunose, E., Ogita, K., Kaku, M., Ichihara, K., and Kusunose, M. (1984) J. Biochem. 96, 593-603). This type of cytochrome P-450, viz., cytochrome P-450 with high prostaglandin omega-hydroxylase activity may play a role in the regulation of prostaglandin levels in pregnancy.  相似文献

Two different forms of cytochrome P-450, highly active in the omega-hydroxylation of prostaglandin A, and the omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of fatty acids (P-450ka-1 and P-450ka-2), have been purified from kidney cortex microsomes of rabbits treated with di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate. On the basis of the peptide map patterns and NH2-terminal amino acid sequence, P-450ka-1 was determined to be a new form of omega-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450, whereas P-450ka-2 is identical to P-450ka reported earlier. The first 20 NH2-terminal amino acid sequence (ALNPTRLPGSLSGLLQVAGL) and (ALSPTRLPGSFSGFLQAAGL) of P-450ka-1 and P-450ka-2 showed 90 and 80% homology with that of the lung prostaglandin omega-hydroxylase, respectively, suggesting that these three cytochromes P-450 are members of the same omega-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 gene family.  相似文献

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) omega-hydroxylase activity in human neutrophil microsomes was significantly inhibited by antisera against three rabbit omega-hydroxylase P-450s, lung prostaglandin omega-hydroxylase (P-450p-2), small intestine prostaglandin A omega-hydroxylase (P-450ia), and kidney fatty acid omega-hydroxylase (P-450kd). In contrast, the activity is not affected by antibodies raised against the phenobarbital-inducible forms of P-450s from both rabbits and rats. These findings suggest that the LTB4 omega-hydroxylase (P-450LTB omega) is structurally related to a group of rabbit omega-hydroxylase P-450s. The antiserum raised against P-450p-2 also inhibited the NADPH-dependent oxidation of 20-hydroxy LTB4 to 20-oxo LTB4 and 20-carboxy LTB4 by the microsomes, supporting that P-450LTB omega is able to catalyze the subsequent oxidation of 20-hydroxy LTB4 as well as the omega-hydroxylation of LTB4.  相似文献

We have previously reported the isolation of two forms of cytochrome P-450 (P-450) with omega-hydroxylase activities toward prostaglandin A (PGA) and fatty acids, designated as P-450ka-1 and P-450ka-2, from kidney cortex microsomes of rabbits treated with di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate [Kusunose, E. et al. (1989) J. Biochem. 106, 194-196]. In the present work, we have purified and characterized two additional forms of rabbit kidney fatty acid omega-hydroxylase, designated as P-450kc and P-450kd. The purified P-450kc and P-450kd had specific contents of 13 and 16 nmol of P-450/mg of protein, with apparent molecular weights of 52,000 and 55,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), respectively. Both the forms showed absorption maxima at 450 nm in the carbon monoxide-difference spectra for their reduced forms. These P-450s efficiently catalyzed the omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of fatty acids such as caprate, laurate, myristate, and palmitate, in a reconstituted system containing P-450, NADPH-P-450 reductase, and phosphatidylcholine. Cytochrome b5 stimulated the reactions to only a slight extent. They had no detectable activity toward PGA and several xenobiotics tested. The two P-450s showed different peptide map patterns after limited proteolysis with papain or Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

We have isolated a cDNA clone, Nah-2, encoding the cytochrome P-450Nah (naphthalene hydroxylase) from a mouse lung lambda ZAP cDNA library using anti-cytochrome P-450Nah IgG as a probe. This same antibody selectively blocked [Nagata, K., Martin, B.M., Gillette, J.R., & Sasame, H.A. (1990) Drug Metab. Dispos. 18, 557-564] the cytochrome P-450 in mouse lung microsomes that catalyzed the conversion of naphthalene to (1R,2S)-naphthalene 1,2-oxide, which has been postulated as a causative agent in the naphthalene-induced tissue-specific necrosis of Clara cells in mouse lung. The toxic effect is seen in mouse and not in rat. The cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 491 amino acids with a molecular mass of 50 kDa. Northern blot analysis with an Nah-2-specific probe revealed that the mRNA is expressed in a species- and tissue-specific manner, present only in mouse lung and liver and not in that of rat. The mRNA encoding Nah-2 is constitutively expressed and is not induced by either phenobarbital, pyrazole, pregnenolone 16 alpha-carbonitrile, or 3-methylcholanthrene. Comparative amino acid sequence analyses with other documented members of the P-450 gene superfamily revealed that this encoded protein is in the IIF subfamily. To analyze its substrate specificity, the cDNA was inserted into the vector, pAAH5, and expressed in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, AH22. The presence of cytochrome P-450Nah in the microsomes isolated from transformed cells and analyzed by Western blot was confirmed by immunocomplexing product with anti-cytochrome P450Nah IgG. Furthermore, activity toward naphthalene in the microsomes from the transformed cells established that this clone encodes a naphthalene hydroxylase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Double-stranded DNA complementary to the partially purified mRNA prepared from 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)-treated rat liver was constructed and cloned in Escherichia coli. Twenty clones were verified to carry a complementary DNA (cDNA) insert coding for MC-inducible cytochrome P-450 by positive hybridization translation assay and immunochemical assay with anti-cytochrome P-450 antibody. The identified cDNA clones were divided into at least two groups on the basis of comparison of restriction maps of the cDNA inserts. A clone pAU157 whose cDNA insert was approximately 2.7 kb in length contained nearly full-length mRNA information for cytochrome P-450MC or P-450c, which is the major form of MC-inducible cytochrome P-450. Other cDNA clones pTZ286-pTZ330 contained the 1.2 kb sequence complementary to cytochrome P-450d mRNA. RNA blot analysis revealed that pAU157 and pTZ286-pTZ330 cDNA clones were derived from 22S and 18S mRNAs, respectively, both of which were induced in rat liver by MC treatment. Sequence analysis revealed that there were closely homologous sequence regions in pAU157 and pTZ286-pTZ330 cDNA inserts and most of the homologous sequences were localized in two limited coding regions of the two cytochrome P-450 species. pAU157 encoded the total amino acid sequence of cytochrome P-450MC or P-450c and pTZ286-pTZ330 coded for the C-terminal 368 amino acid residues of cytochrome P-450d. Two highly homologous regions were found in the amino acid sequences of these cytochrome P-450 species.  相似文献

cDNA clones, termed pHP2, b32-3, b43, and b43-1, encoding cytochromes P-450 that are expressed in the liver of phenobarbital- (PB-) treated rabbits were isolated, and their nucleotide sequences were determined. pHP2 cDNA contains an open reading frame for a 490-residue protein and is a full-length counterpart of pP-450PBc2 [Leighton, J. K., Debrunner-Vossbrinck, B. A., & Kemper, B. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 204-210]. The b32-3 insert has a sequence for a protein whose primary structure is 91% similar to that of progesterone 21-hydroxylase P-450 1, though this cDNA lacks the sequence encoding the amino-terminal 110 residues. The overlapping clones b43 and b43-1 together encode an ethanol-inducible form of cytochrome P-450, though the amino-terminal five or more residues are missing in the composite b43/b43-1 sequence. Northern blot analysis showed that the b43/b43-1 protein is more strongly inducible by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and isosafrole than by PB, in contrast to the case of the HP2 and b32-3 proteins. A comparison of the primary structures of eight forms of cytochrome P-450, including the HP2, b32-3, and b43/b43-1 proteins, that are expressed in the liver of PB-treated rabbits showed that 149 out of 487-492 amino acid residues are conserved in these cytochromes P-450. The eight forms can be assigned to three rabbit cytochrome P-450 gene subfamilies, P450IIB, P450IIC, and P450IIE. It was also shown that the members of the rabbit P450IIC subfamily can be further classified into three subgroups on the basis of their sequence similarity.  相似文献

cDNA clones for the P-450(M-1) mRNA, which exhibits a male-specific expression in rat livers, were isolated by using synthetic oligonucleotides as the probes. Sequence analysis of the cDNAs showed that P-450(M-1) mRNA contains 1,853 nucleotides in addition to a poly(A) chain, and a single open reading frame of 1,500 nucleotides encodes a polypeptide of 500 amino acids with a Mr = 57,187. The predicted NH2-terminal sequence of 30 amino acids agrees well with that of the purified protein determined by Edman degradation, and the predicted primary structure included all the partial sequences of six internal peptides of P-450(M-1) obtained by the proteolytic digestion and a conserved amino acid sequence containing a putative heme-binding cysteine, proximate to the COOH terminus of the molecules. P-450(M-1) showed relatively high sequence similarity with P-450b (Fujii-Kuriyama, Y., Mizukami, Y., Kawajiri, K., Sogawa, K., and Muramatsu, M. (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 79, 2793-2797) (52% similarity), P-450-3b (Ozols, J., Heinemann, F. S., and Johnson, E. F. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 5427-5434) (64%), P-450-1 (Tukey, R. H., Okino, S., Barnes, H., Griffin, K. J., and Johnson, E. F. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 13347-13354) (74%), P-450PBc1 (Leighton, J. K., DeBrunner-Vossbrinck, B. A., and Kemper, B. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 4598-4603) (71%), while its sequence similarity with 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible P-450c and P-450d is rather low. Consequently, P-450(M-1) could be structurally classified into the phenobarbital-inducible type of P-450 gene family. RNA blot analysis using a synthetic oligonucleotide specific for P-450(M-1) revealed that P-450(M-1) mRNA was expressed exclusively in the livers of mature male rats in a sex-specific manner, but not in other tissues so far examined.  相似文献

A cDNA sequence related to the human cytochrome P-450 responsible for S-mephenytoin 4-hydroxylation (P-450MP) has been isolated from a human liver bacteriophage lambda gt11 library with antibodies specific for P-450MP. The total length of the cDNA is 2.5 kilobases (kb), of which there is a 1.6-kb EcoRI fragment coding for all but five amino acids corresponding to the N-terminus of the protein and including a small noncoding region at the 3' end. This 1.6-kb fragment has been sequenced and used as a probe to analyze human genomic DNA and liver RNA. The sequence shows extensive sequence similarity with that of rabbit liver cytochrome P-450 progesterone 21-hydroxylase [Tukey, R. H., Okino, S., Barnes, H., Griffin, K. J., & Johnson, E. F. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 13347-13354], and this cDNA, like the rabbit clone, appears to be part of a multigene family. At least two liver mRNA species, 2.2 kb and 3.5 kb, hybridize to the cDNA sequence. The cloning of this gene should aid in analyzing the molecular basis for the genetic polymorphism of S-mephenytoin 4-hydroxylation reported in humans.  相似文献

A full-length cDNA complementary to rat liver mRNA coding for pregnenolone 16 alpha-carbonitrile-induced cytochrome P-450 (P-450PCN) was isolated and completely sequenced. P-450PCN mRNA is 2038 nucleotides in length and has a continuous reading frame (82-1596) that encodes a protein of 504 amino acids (Mr = 57,917). The amino-terminal sequence of 18 residues of the purified P-450PCN protein agrees with the open reading frame of the cDNA sequence. The P-450PCN mRNA nucleotide and amino acid sequences clearly establish that this cytochrome is a member of a separate P-450 family different from the phenobarbital-induced (e.g. P-450e) and 3-methyl-cholanthrene-induced (e.g. P-450c) P-450 gene families. P-450PCN shares 38 and 37% nucleotide similarity and 33 and 33% amino acid similarity with P-450e and P-450c, respectively. P-450PCN, P-450e, and P-450c exhibit greater homology in the C-terminal half than in the N-terminal half of the proteins. Included in this region is the cysteinyl fragment (surrounding residue 443 in P-450PCN), which appears to be the most conserved among all fragments of other P-450 proteins. Of interest, the N-terminal region of P-450PCN does not contain the cysteine residue previously thought to contribute the thiolate ligand to the heme iron in P-450 proteins; these data establish more firmly the cysteine residue located in the carboxylterminal region as serving this function. These sequence studies further support the conclusion derived from chromosomal localization studies and Southern blot analyses that P-450PCN represents a member of a distinct third family of P-450 genes, which diverged from a common ancestor more than 200 million years ago.  相似文献

Earlier, we reported the isolation of a cytochrome P-450 highly active in prostaglandin A (PGA) omega-hydroxylation (PGA omega-hydroxylase) from rabbit kidney cortex, small intestine, and colon microsomes. In the present studies, the effects of peroxisomal proliferating agents on the PGA omega-hydroxylase have been examined. Administration of clofibrate or di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) resulted in a significant increase in the PGA1 omega-hydroxylase activity of kidney cortex, liver, and small intestine microsomes. Similar findings were also obtained for laurate hydroxylase activity in kidney and liver microsomes. Kidney PGA omega-hydroxylase (designated cytochrome P-450ka) was isolated and highly purified from clofibrate- or DEHP-treated rabbits, with a yield 3 times higher than that from untreated, or phenobarbital- or 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rabbits. Cytochrome P-450ka from clofibrate- or DEHP-treated rabbits exhibited the same properties as those from untreated rabbits. Guinea pig antiserum against cytochrome P-450ka strongly inhibited the omega-hydroxylation of PGA1 by kidney cortex microsomes from clofibrate-treated rabbits. The PGA1 omega-hydroxylase activity of clofibrate-treated liver microsomes was also inhibited by this antiserum, suggesting that a PGA omega-hydroxylase immunochemically related to cytochrome P-450ka exists in liver microsomes.  相似文献

Two cDNA clones, 2C19 and 4C1, were isolated from a lung cDNA library of 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)-treated hamster by using rat P-450c cDNA as a probe. The cDNA determined from 2C19 and 4C1 was 2,916 bp long and contained an entire coding region for 524 amino acids with a molecular weight of 59,408. The deduced amino acid sequence showed a 85% identity with that of rat P-450c indicating 2C19 and 4C1 encode the hamster P-450IA1 protein. Another cDNA clone, designated H28, was isolated from a MC-induced hamster liver cDNA library by using the hamster lung 2C19 or 4C1 cDNA clone as a probe. H28 was 1,876 bp long and encoded a polypeptide of 513 amino acids with a molecular weight of 58,079. The N-terminal 20 residues deduced from nucleotide sequence of H28 were identical to those determined by sequence analysis of purified hamster hepatic P-450MCI. The high similarity of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences between H28 and P-450IA2 of other species indicated that H28 encoded a P-450 protein which belongs to the P-450IA2 family. Northern blot analysis revealed that the mRNAs for hamster P-450IA1 and IA2 were about 2.9 and 1.9 kb long, respectively. Hamster P-450IA1 mRNA was induced to the same level in lungs as in livers by MC treatment, whereas hamster P-450IA2 mRNA was induced and expressed only in hamster liver.  相似文献
