A highly sensitive method for the determination of coumarin 7-hydroxylation and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation by human cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) enzymes was developed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The newly developed HPLC method was found to be about 100-fold more sensitive than the previous spectrofluorimetric method in detecting the metabolite 7-hydroxycoumarin (umbelliferone). With this high sensitivity, the kinetics of coumarin 7-hydroxylation and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation catalyzed by human liver microsomal and recombinant P450 enzymes were determined more precisely. With 36 different substrate concentrations in these two reactions, coumarin 7-hydroxylation was found to be catalyzed mainly by a single enzyme CYP2A6 and 7-ethoxycoumarin was oxidized by at least two enzymes CYP2E1 and CYP1A2 in human liver microsomes. 相似文献

An aqueous two-phase system of dextran and polyethylene glycol was investigated as a reaction medium for pig liver microsomes in order to find out if the partition of the microsomes, of the substrate 7-ethoxycoumarin and of the product 7-hydroxycoumarin favoured any biotechnological perspectives. Cytochrome-P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase concentrations and the monooxygenase 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylation activity were measured under a variety of the system parameters. Microsomes totally partition into the bottom phase whereas the concentration ratio of substrate to product is higher in the microsome free top phase. An unfavourable effect is the specific partial deactivation of the cytochrome P-450 by polyethylene glycol. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method that uses an on-line change in the protonation state of the nonfluorescent product to yield a fluorescent derivative that is detected by fluorometry was developed for the determination of 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity. Tissue samples (1-20 micrograms protein) were incubated with 7-ethoxycoumarin, and 7-hydroxycoumarin metabolite was extracted in chloroform. Following drying under nitrogen, the extract was resuspended in methanol (10-100 microliters) and an aliquot of 5-20 microliters was directly injected into a C8 Nova-Pak column. Isocratic separation of hydroxycoumarin was achieved using a mobile phase consisting of methanol:1% acetic acid, 35:65, v/v, pH 3.5, at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. Following chromatographic separation, samples were derivatized with 1.0 N NaOH prior to fluorescent measurements. The detection limit for 7-hydroxycoumarin was less than 1 pmol, with a mean recovery from the incubates of 96.4 +/- 2.3%. This HPLC-fluorometric method was linear up to at least 400 pmol of 7-hydroxycoumarin and could accurately detect metabolite formation in incubates containing control liver microsomes with less than 0.05 microgram total protein. The method also allowed determinations of cytochrome P450-dependent function in extrahepatic tissues of rats, including individual segments of gastrointestinal epithelium and brain, as well as in cultured cells, such as HepG2 cells, in which microsomal protein yield is very small. The wide range of linearity afforded by this method allows a reliable estimation of cytochrome P450-dependent function in samples containing varying concentrations of protein. 相似文献

Rates of O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin by perfused livers from fasted, phenobarbital-treated rats were 3.7 mumol X g-1 X h-1. Approximately 50% of the product was conjugated. When rates of 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation were varied by infusing different concentrations of substrate, a good correlation (r = 0.91) was found between rates of O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin and fluorescence of 7-hydroxycoumarin detected from the liver surface. Micro-light guides (tip diameter 170 microns) placed on periportal and pericentral regions on the liver surface were used to monitor the conversion of nonfluorescent 7-ethoxycoumarin to fluorescent 7-hydroxycoumarin. The O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin to 7-hydroxycoumarin increased fluorescence 64% and 28% in pericentral and periportal regions of the liver lobule, respectively. Rates of 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation estimated from these increases in fluorescence were 5.2 mumol X g-1 X h-1 in pericentral and 2.2 mumol X g-1 X h-1 in periportal regions of the liver. During mixed-function oxidation of 7-ethoxycoumarin, the oxidation:reduction state of NADP(H) was similar in both regions of the liver lobule. Xylitol (2 mM) decreased the NADP+/NADPH ratio and stimulated rates of drug metabolism in both regions of the liver lobule. This indicates that conditions exist where the supply of NADPH is an important rate-determining factor for 7-ethoxycoumarin metabolism in both periportal and pericentral regions of the liver lobule. 相似文献

Site-directed mutageneses of rat liver cytochrome P-450d: catalytic activities toward benzphetamine and 7-ethoxycoumarin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Catalytic activities toward benzphetamine and 7-ethoxycoumarin of 11 distal mutants, 9 proximal mutants, and 3 aromatic mutants of rat liver cytochrome P-450d were studied. A distal mutant Thr319Ala was not catalytically active toward benzphetamine, while this mutant retained activity toward 7-ethoxycoumarin. Distal mutants Gly316Glu, Thr319Ala, and Thr322Ala displayed higher activities (kcat/Km) toward 7-ethoxycoumarin that were 2.4-4.7-fold higher than that of the wild-type enzyme. Although kcat/Km values of four multiple distal mutants toward benzphetamine were less than half that of the wild type, activities of these mutants toward 7-ethoxycoumarin were almost the same as or higher than the wild-type activity toward this substrate. The distal double mutant Glu318Asp, Phe325Tyr showed 6-fold higher activity than the wild-type P-450d toward 7-ethoxycoumarin. Activities of the proximal mutants Lys453Glu and Arg455Gly toward both substrates were much lower (less than one-seventh) than the corresponding wild-type activities. Catalytic activities of three aromatic mutants, Phe425Leu, Pro427Leu, and Phe430Leu, toward benzphetamine were less than 7% of that of the wild type, while the activities of these aromatic mutants toward 7-ethoxycoumarin were more than 2.5 times higher than the wild-type activity toward this substrate. From these findings, in conjunction with a molecular model for P-450d, we suggest that (1) the relative importance to catalysis of various distal helix amino acids differs depending on the substrate and that these differences are associated with the size, shape, and flexibility of the substrate and (2) the proximal residue Lys453 appears to play a critical role in the catalytic activity of P-450d, perhaps by participating in forming an intermolecular electron-transfer complex. 相似文献

The primary deuterium and tritium isotope effects on Vm/Km and on Vm have been measured for the O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin catalyzed by two purified isozymes of cytochrome P-450. From these data the intrinsic isotope effects have been calculated as described by D. B. Northrop (Biochemistry (1975) 14, 2644-2651). The observed deuterium isotope effects on Vm/Km are 3.79 and 1.90 for the isozymes isolated from the livers of rats induced by phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene, respectively. The calculated intrinsic isotope effects, however, are similar and much larger (kH/kD = 12.8 to 14.0) than the observed isotope effects on Vm/Km for the two enzymes. This demonstrates that the intrinsic isotope effects are attenuated by various steps preceding the isotopically sensitive C-H bond cleavage step resulting in the low values for the observed isotope effects. Thus, the observed isotope effects do not accurately reflect the magnitude of the intrinsic isotope effect associated with this reaction. No incorporation of 18O into the 7-hydroxycoumarin product was observed in studies employing H218O or 18O2 demonstrating that the phenolic oxygen arises exclusively from the substrate. Taken together, these data provide compelling evidence that both cytochrome P-450 isozymes catalyze the O-dealkylation of this substrate by an identical radical recombination mechanism during the obligatory formation of a hemiacetal intermediate. 相似文献

Human cytochrome P-450, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase and sulphotransferase activities have been measured in the cell line Hep G2 following treatment of cells with 3-methylcholanthrene or phenobarbital. 3-Methylcholanthrene treatment caused a 20-30-fold increase in the O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin. The glucuronidation and sulphation of the product 7-hydroxycoumarin were increased 36 and 7 fold, respectively. In comparison, phenobarbital treatment did not increase these activities significantly. However, phenobarbital-inducible proteins were identified on "Western blots' using antibodies to a rat liver phenobarbital inducible P-450 form. The molecular masses of the proteins did not coincide with those expected for cytochromes P-450. However, characteristic of P-450 forms, the synthesis of these proteins was suppressed by 3-methylcholanthrene treatment. The Hep G2 cell line represents a potentially useful model for studying the regulation of human P-450 genes. 相似文献

Summary Photoactivation of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase was studied using a combination of spinach chloroplasts and yeast microsomes containing rat P4501A1/yeast reductase fusion enzyme. Under illumination, in the reaction mixture, NADP was reduced, transferring electrons to the P450/reductase fusion enzyme to convert 7-ethoxycoumarin to 7-hydroxycoumarin. 相似文献

The distribution of cytochromes P-450 that catalyze aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase were studied with monoclonal antibody (MAb) 1-7-1 which completely inhibits these activities of a purified 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat liver cytochrome P-450. The degree of inhibition by MAb 1-7-1 quantitatively assesses the contribution of different cytochromes P-450 in the liver, lung, and kidney microsomes from untreated, 3-methylcholanthrene- and phenobarbital (PB)-treated rats, mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Enzyme sensitivity to MAb 1-7-1 inhibition defines two types of cytochrome P-450 contributing to aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase. The MAb 1-7-1-sensitive cytochrome P-450 is a major contributor to aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase in rat liver, lung, and kidney of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats, C57BL/6 mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters; this type is also present in lesser amounts in the extrahepatic tissues of the control and PB-treated animals, and in the lungs of the relatively "noninducible" DBA/2 mice treated with 3-methylcholanthrene. This form however makes little or no contribution to liver aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase of control or PB-treated animals. 7-Ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase is also a function of both the MAb 1-7-1-sensitive and insensitive classes of cytochrome P-450. The ratio of the classes contributing to aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase differs in the various tissues and species and after inducer treatment. All of the 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity in guinea pigs and hamsters is a function of cytochromes P-450 different than the MAb 1-7-1-sensitive cytochrome P-450 responsible for aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity. Thus, the MAb 1-7-1 antigenically defines the type of cytochromes P-450 contributing to each reaction. Cytochromes P-450 can be viewed as paradigmatic for enzyme systems in which the nature and amount of product is regulated by multiple isoenzymic forms. Analyses using monoclonal antibodies to specific isoenzymes may thus have broad application to a variety of other complex systems which are composed of multiple isoenzymes. 相似文献

Two cell isolation procedures, i.e. a scraping/collagenase-treatment and a new vibration procedure in EDTA containing medium, were used to isolate intestinal epithelial cells. In both cell populations the metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin and 7-hydroxycoumarin was studied. Moreover, the time course and extent of induction of both steps in the biotransformation were investigated after oral 3-methylcholanthrene pretreatment of the rats. Twenty four hours after 3-methylcholanthrene pretreatment (20 mg kg-1) monooxygenase activity was induced about 6-fold and 2.5-fold when studied with cells of the vibratory and enzymic procedures, respectively. Control 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase activity and 7-hydroxycoumarin glucuronidation were about the same when comparing both methods for cell-isolation. The formation of glucuronides in cells (both methods) is significantly lowered by 3-MC pretreatment, while sulphation remains unaffected. Results indicate that using enzymic treatment of mucosal scrapings, cell-populations are obtained containing relatively more differentiated (tip) cells. A number of advantages of the new (vibration) method are: better recovery, viability and reproducibility. 相似文献

Human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2A6 catalyzes 7-hydroxylation of coumarin, and the reaction rate is enhanced by cytochrome b5 (b5). 7-Alkoxycoumarins were O-dealkylated and also hydroxylated at the 3-position. Binding of coumarin and 7-hydroxycoumarin to ferric and ferrous P450 2A6 are fast reactions (k(on) approximately 10(6) m(-1) s(-1)), and the k(off) rates range from 5.7 to 36 s(-1) (at 23 degrees C). Reduction of ferric P450 2A6 is rapid (7.5 s(-1)) but only in the presence of coumarin. The reaction of the ferrous P450 2A6 substrate complex with O2 is rapid (k > or = 10(6) m(-1) s(-1)), and the putative Fe2+.O2 complex decayed at a rate of approximately 0.3 s(-1) at 23 degrees C. Some 7-hydroxycoumarin was formed during the oxidation of the ferrous enzyme under these conditions, and the yield was enhanced by b5. Kinetic analyses showed that approximately 1/3 of the reduced b5 was rapidly oxidized in the presence of the Fe2+.O2 complex, implying some electron transfer. High intrinsic and competitive and non-competitive intermolecular kinetic deuterium isotope effects (values 6-10) were measured for O-dealkylation of 7-alkoxycoumarins, indicating the effect of C-H bond strength on rates of product formation. These results support a scheme with many rapid reaction steps, including electron transfers, substrate binding and release at multiple stages, and rapid product release even though the substrate is tightly bound in a small active site. The inherent difficulty of chemistry of substrate oxidation and the lack of proclivity toward a linear pathway leading to product formation explain the inefficiency of the enzyme relative to highly efficient bacterial P450s. 相似文献

We made a biosensor based on ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) using P450 monooxygenase. ISFETs are electrical devices and have been used as pH sensors. We used genetically engineered P450 monooxygenase for our research because of its high enzymatic activity. The fusion enzyme between rat CYP1A1P450 monooxygenase and yeast NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase was expressed in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain AH22. Yeast microsomal membranes were immobilized in an agarose layer on the ISFET. o-Deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin to 7-hydroxycoumarin was catalyzed by the enzyme in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reduced form (NADPH). Formation of 7-hydroxycoumarin from 7-ethoxycoumarin was also measured by fluorescence. The difference of the voltage between the ISFET device and control device without enzymes showed a voltage increase along with the enzymatic reaction of P450 monooxygenases, and this voltage increase in the device was inhibited by addition of MnCl(2), an inhibitor of P450 monooxygenase. There was a positive correlation between the voltage increase in the ISFET device and the fluorescence intensity. This is the first electrochemical biosensing using P450 monooxygenases immobilized on the ISFET, and is applicable to the sensing of chlorophenol compounds. 相似文献

The oxidation of a series of seven alkyl ethers of 7-hydroxycoumarin by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) has been studied to probe the active site of the enzyme. TLC of the reaction mixture showed formation of metabolites other than 7-hydroxycoumarin. The separation and characterization of the different metabolites of the C4 to C7 compounds were achieved using a combination of TLC, HPLC, and gas chromatography-electron impact mass spectra. Among the 7-alkoxycoumarins, 7-hexoxycoumarin was found to be the most suitable candidate for investigating the active site of cytochrome CYP3A4, due to the well-separated metabolite peaks on TLC and HPLC. 7-hexoxycoumarin was found to produce three side-chain hydroxylated products besides 7-hydroxycoumarin: 7-(5-hydroxyhexoxy)coumarin, 7-(4-hydroxyhexoxy)coumarin, and 7-(3-hydroxycoumarin). The substitution of residues from substrate recognition sites -1, -4, -5, and -6 of CYP3A4 showed a strong influence on the product profile of 7-hexoxycoumarin, the most prominent effects observed with mutants at residues 119, 301, 305, 370, 373, and 479. The docking of 7-hexoxycoumarin into a molecular model of CYP3A4 also confirmed the presence of these residues within 5 A of the substrate. A comparative study of cytochrome P450 2B1 showed that the active-site mutants F206L, T302V, V363A, and S478G but not V363L exhibited a dramatic decrease in total 7-hexoxycoumarin hydroxylation. The study suggests that although the electronic nature of the substrate is important, enzymatic constraints significantly contribute to CYP3A4 selectivity. 相似文献

Role of electrostatic interactions in the reaction of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase with cytochromes P-450 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chemical modification of cytochrome P-450 reductase was used to determine the involvement of charged amino acids in the interaction between the reductase and two forms of cytochrome P-450. Acetylation of 11 lysine residues of the reductase with acetic anhydride yielded a 20-40% decrease in the apparent Km of the reductase for cytochrome P-450b or cytochrome P-450c using either 7-ethoxycoumarin or benzphetamine as substrates. A 20-45% decrease in the Vmax was observed except for cytochrome P-450b with 7-ethoxycoumarin as substrate, where there was a 27% increase. Modification of carboxyl groups on the reductase with 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide (EDC) and methylamine, glycine methyl ester, or taurine as nucleophiles inhibited the interaction with the cytochromes P-450. We were able to modify 4.0, 7.9, and 5.9 carboxyl groups using methylamine, glycine methyl ester, or taurine, respectively. The apparent Km for cytochrome P-450c or cytochrome P-450b was increased 1.3- to 5.2-fold in a reconstituted monooxygenase assay with 7-ethoxycoumarin or benzphetamine as substrate. There were varied effects on the Vmax. There was no significant change in the conformation of the reductase upon chemical modification with either acetic anhydride or EDC. These results strongly suggest that electrostatic interactions as well as steric constraints play a role in the binding and electron transfer step(s) between the reductase and cytochrome P-450. 相似文献

Most microsomal P450s have a conserved "threonine cluster" composed of three Thrs (Thr319, Thr321, Thr322 for P450d) at a putative distal site. An ionic amino acid at 318 is also well conserved as Glu or Asp for most P450s. To understand the role of these conserved polar amino acids at the putative distal site in the catalytic function of microsomal P450, we studied how mutations at this site of P450d influence the activation of molecular oxygen in the reconstituted system. Catalytic activity (0.02 min-1) toward 7-ethoxycoumarin of the Glu318Ala mutant of P450d was just 6% of that (0.33 min-1) of the wild type, while those of Glu318Asp, Thr319Ala, and Thr322Ala were comparable to or even higher than that of the wild type. Consumption rates of O2 and formation rates of H2O2 of those mutants varied in accord with the catalytic activities. Especially, the efficiency (0.5%) of incorporated oxygen atom to the substrate versus produced H2O2 for the Glu318Ala mutant was much lower than that (3.7%) of the wild type, while that (58.8%) for the mutant Glu318Asp was 16-fold higher than that of the wild type. In addition, the autoxidation [Fe(II)---- Fe(III)] rate (0.074 s-1) of the Glu318Ala mutant was much lower than those (0.374-0.803 s-1) of the wild type and other mutants. Thus, we strongly suggest that Glu318 plays an important role in the catalytic function toward 7-ethoxycoumarin of microsomal P450d. 相似文献

The presence of a very active cytochrome P-450-dependent drug-metabolizing system in the olfactory epithelium has been confirmed by using 7-ethoxycoumarin, 7-ethoxyresorufin, hexobarbitone and aniline as substrates, and the reasons for the marked activity of the cytochrome P-450 in this tissue have been investigated. The spectral interaction of hexobarbitone and aniline with hepatic and olfactory microsomes has been examined. By this criterion there was no evidence for marked differences in the spin state of the cytochromes of the two tissues, or for the olfactory epithelium containing a greater amount of cytochrome capable of binding hexobarbitone, a very actively metabolized substrate. Rates of NADPH and NADH: cytochrome c reductase activity were found to be higher in the olfactory epithelium than in the liver, and direct evidence was obtained for a greater amount of the NADPH-dependent flavoprotein in the olfactory microsomes. Investigation of male rats and male and female mice, as well as male hamsters, demonstrated that, in all cases, the cytochrome P-450 levels of the olfactory epithelium were lower than those of the liver, while the 7-ethoxycoumarin de-ethylase and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase activities were higher. A correlation was found between 7-ethoxycoumarin de-ethylase and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase activities for both tissues in all species examined. The ratio of reductase to cytochrome P-450 was found to be considerably higher in the olfactory epithelium (1:2-1:3) than in the liver (1:11-1:15), regardless of the species examined, suggesting that facilitated electron flow may contribute significantly to the cytochrome P-450 catalytic turnover in the olfactory tissue. 相似文献

The inhibitory potency of four alkylphospholipids: rac-1-O-phosphocholine-2-hydroxy-octadecane (rac-2-OH), rac-1-O-phosphocholine-2-O-acetyl-octadecane (rac-2-O-acetyl), rac-1-O-phosphocholine-2-amino-octadecane (rac-2-NH2) and rac-1-O-phosphocholine-2-N-acetyloctadecane (rac-2-N-acetyl), on the cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activity has been evaluated. The IC50 values of the alkylphosphocholines with 7-ethoxycoumarin as substrate in liver microsomal fractions of PB-treated rats and with a reconstituted CYP2B1: NADPH-P450-reductase system are in the range of 3.2-5.0 microM and 2.8-3.5 microM, respectively. Lineweaver-Burk plots with the inhibitors in concentrations that were found to cause roughly a 50% inhibition and with 7-ethoxycoumarin as substrate revealed for all four alkylphospholipids a competitive inhibition type. The degree of the competitive inhibition is quantified by the Ki values. With liver microsomal fractions of PB-treated rats, the Ki values of rac-2-OH (Ki = 1.36 microM) and rac-2-O-acetyl (Ki = 1.33 microM) differs slightly from those of rac-2-NH2 (Ki = 2.2 microM) and rac-2-N-acetyl (Ki = 2.2 microM), but with the reconstituted CYP2B1: NADPH-P450-reductase system all Ki values are in the small range of 1.8 - 2.6 microM, indicating that the short substituted group at the 2-position (OH; O-acetyl; NH2; N-acetyl) of the long chain octadecanol part of the phosphodiesters exhibit no essential role on the strong inhibitory potency of these alkylphosphocholines on the 7-ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase activity. 相似文献

The basidiomycete Lentinula edodes (Le.) cytochrome P450, Le.CYP1 was functionally expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The microsomal fraction containing Le.CYP1 was prepared from the recombinant yeast and the Le.CYP1 was analyzed. The 7-ethoxycoumarin and benzo(a)pyrene were found to be the substrates of Le.CYP1 enzyme. Le.CYP1 converted 7-ethoxycoumarin to 7-hydroxycoumarin. 相似文献

The substrate-dependent kinetics of the carbon monoxide-inhibited cytochrome P-450 activity and its light reversibility is reinvestigated in microsomal preparations. In order to find out whether the substrate specificity is mediated by an isoenzyme-specific binding of carbon monoxide with different dissociation constants an experimental design has been chosen where it could be established that essentially the same isoenzyme component was involved in two different monooxygenase reactions, i.e., the O-dealkylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin and the 7-hydroxylation of coumarin. The dissociation constant kD(CO) of the ferrous cytochrome P-450 carbon monoxide complex is 6-fold higher in the presence of 7-ethoxycoumarin than in the presence of coumarin. But the light-induced relative changes of the Warburg partition coefficient for the 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylation and for coumarin 7-hydroxylation do not differ remarkably from each other. These relative changes are shown to represent the ratio of the photoinduced rate constant to the spontaneous rate constant of the dissociation for the ferrous cytochrome P-450 carbon monoxide complex. The differences in the dissociation constants are assigned to substrate specific effects on the carbon monoxide binding, indicating a substrate-specific change of the free binding enthalpy for carbon monoxide. 相似文献
