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

The interaction between NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and a series of cytochrome P-450 isozymes was investigated using UV-visible spectrophotometry. In the absence of substrate the interactions between the reductase and RLM3, RLM5, and RLM5a were tight, exhibiting sub-micromolar dissociation constants and resulted in type I spectra of varying magnitude from which the following increases in the proportion of high spin hemoprotein were calculated; RLM3 (7%), RLM5 (36%), RLM5a (6%), LM2 (29%), RLM2 (0%). Preincubation of LM2 with its type I substrate benzphetamine increased the affinity of the cytochrome for the reductase. Using initial estimates of the P-450 spin states in the absence of reductase in conjunction with the spectral binding data and equations relating these parameters to the microequilibria for the association of reductase with high or low spin P-450, RLM3, RLM5, RLM5a and LM2 were shown to bind significantly more tightly to high spin P-450. The relevance of this data to the understanding of spin state influence on P-450 reduction is discussed. 相似文献

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of rat adrenal zona fasciculate mitochondria showed peaks corresponding to low spin ferric cytochrome P-450 with apparent g values of 2.424, 2.248 and 1.917, and weak signals due to high spin ferric cytochrome P-450 with gx values of 8.08 and 7.80. The former is attributed to cholesterol side chain cleavage cytochrome P-450, the latter to 11beta-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450. On addition of deoxycorticosterone the g = 7.80 signal was elevated and there was an associated drop in the low spinal signal. As the pH was reduced from 7.4 to 6.1, the g = 8.08 signal increased with again a drop in intensity of the low spin signal. Mitochondria from the zona glomerulosa showed similar spectral properties to those described above. Addition of succinate, isocitrate or pregnenolone caused a loss of the g = 8.08 signal. Addition of calcium increased the magnitude of the g = 8.08 signal, and caused a slight reduction in the magnitude of the low spin signal. Also, addition of deoxycorticosterone, pregnenolone, succinate or isocitrate caused slight shifts of the outer lines of the low spin spectrum. Interaction of mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 with metyrapone and aminoglutethimide modified the low spinal parameters. Adrenal microsomal cytochrome P-450 had low spin ferric g values of 2.417, 2.244 and 1.919 and a high spin ferric gxy values of 7.90 and 3.85, distinct from the values obtained with mitochondria. 相似文献

Resonance Raman spectra of cytochrome P-450cam (P-450cam) and its enzymatically inactive form (P-420) in various oxidation and spin states were measured for the first time. The Raman spectrum of reduced P-450cam was unusual in the sense that the "oxidation-state marker" appeared at an unexpectedly lower frequency (1346 cm-1) in comparison with those of other reduced hemoproteins (approximately 1355-approximately 1365 cm-1), whereas that of oxidized P-450cam was located at a normal frequency. This anomaly in the Raman spectrum of reduced P-450cam can be explained by assuming electron delocalization from the fifth ligand, presumably a thiolate anion, to the antibonding pi orbital of the porphyrin ring. The corresponding Raman line of reduced P-420 appeared at a normal frequency (1360 cm-1), suggesting a status change or replacement of the fifth ligand upon conversion from P-450cam to P-420. The Raman spectrum of reduced P-450cam-metyrapone complex was very similar to that of ferrous cytochrome b5. 相似文献

Procedures are described for the isolation of two forms of rabbit liver microsomal liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 (P-450LM) in homogeneous state. They are designated by their relative electrophoretic mobilities on polyacrylamide gel in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate as P-450LM2 and P-450LM4. P-450LM2, which was isolated from phenobarbital-induced animals, has a subunit molecular weight of 48,700. The best preparations contain 20 nmol of the cytochrome per mg of protein and 1 molecule of heme per polypeptide chain. P-450LM4, which is induced by beta-naphthoflavone but is also present in phenobarbital-induced and untreated animals, was isolated from all three sources and found to have a subunit molecular weight of 55,300. The best preparations contain 17nmol of the cytochrome per mg of protein and 1 molecule of heme per polypeptide chain. Some of the purified preparations of the cytochromes, although electrophoretically homogeneous, contain apoenzyme due to heme loss during purification. The purified proteins contain no detectable NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, cytochrome b5, or NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase, and only low levels of phospholipid (about 1 molecule per subunit). Amino acid analysis indicated that P-450LM2 and P-450LM4 are similar in composition, but the latter protein has about 60 additional residues. The COOH-terminal amino acid of P-450LM2 is arginine, as shown by carboxypeptidase treatment, whereas that of P-450LM4 is lysine. NH2-terminal amino acid residues could not be detected. Carbohydrate analysis indicated that both cytochromes contain 1 residue of glucosamine and 2 of mannose per polypeptide subunit. The optical spectra of the oxidized and reduced cytochromes and carbon monoxide complexes were determined. Oxidized P-450LM2 has maxima at 568, 535, and 418 nm characteristic of a low spin hemeprotein, and P450LM4 from beta-naphthoflavone-induced, phenobarbital-induced, or control microsomes has maxima at 645 and 394 nm, characteristic of the high spin state. The spectrum of -450lm4 becomes similar to that of P-450LM2 at high protein concentrations or upon the addition of detergent (Renex), whereas the spectrum of P-450LM2 is unaffected by the protein concentration or the presence of detergent. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry of the purified cytochromes indicated that oxidized -450lm2 is in the low spin state, whereas P-450LM4 is largely, but not entirely, in the high spin state. 相似文献

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

Highly specific antibodies to adrenocortical cytochrome P-450scc as well as fragments F1 and F2 representing the N- and C-terminal sequences of the hemoprotein obtained by limited trypsinolysis were raised in rabbits. Antibodies to cytochrome P-450scc as demonstrated by the Ouchterlony diffusion analysis, immunoelectrophoresis and immunoblotting techniques interact with the hemoprotein and both fragments. Antibodies to cytochrome P-450scc fragments interact with the hemoprotein and corresponding antigens, but do not cross-react. To determine the localization of antigenic determinants in the polypeptide chain of cytochrome P-450scc, the interaction of antibodies to the hemoprotein and to its fragments F1 and F2 with limited trypsinolysis products was studied. All antibodies were found to effectively inhibit cholesterol transformation into pregnenolone in a reconstituted system. Using SDS electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting, the cross-reactivity of antibodies to cytochrome P-450scc and to its fragments with microsomal cytochromes P-450scc LM2 and LM4 as well as with mitochondrial cytochrome P-45027 was revealed. This finding testifies to the presence of common antigenic determinants in the hemoproteins. 相似文献

A form of cytochrome P-450 highly active in inducing mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1 was purified to a specific content of 15.1 nmol/mg of protein from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated hamster liver. This species of cytochrome P-450, having its absorption maximum at 448.5 nm in carbon monoxide-complex of reduced form and low spin ferric ion, is of molecular weight of 56,000 and distinctly different in physicochemical and catalytic properties from major forms of cytochrome P-450 purified from phenobarbital- or 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rat liver. In the induction of aflatoxin B1 mutagenicity, this hamster cytochrome P-450 is 50 times more potent than those from rat liver. 相似文献

Spectral changes accompanying the binding of the nonionic detergent n-octyl beta-D-glucopyranoside (n-octyl glucoside) to cytochrome P-450LM2 purified from liver microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rabbits have been compared to changes in catalytic activity obtained in a reconstituted system consisting of various levels of detergent, P-450LM2, and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. In the absence of substrate and reductase, addition of n-octyl glucoside to 2-3 mM resulted in a difference spectrum (detergent-bound minus detergent-free cytochrome) characterized by a small maximum at 390 nm and a minimum at 410 nm, suggestive of a slight stabilization of the high-spin (S = 5/2) state of the cytochrome. As the detergent concentration was increased to 4-8 mM (corresponding to maximal activity and pentameric or hexameric P-450), a new peak appeared at 427 nm while the minimum remained at 410 nm. Between 10 and 30 mM n-octyl glucoside (conditions which produced catalytically inactive and monomeric P-450) the minimum in the difference spectrum shifted to 390 nm and the maximum to 425 nm, characteristic of a shift in spin equilibrium toward low-spin (S = 1/2) cytochrome. At low and high detergent concentrations, substrate [d-benzphetamine with n-octyl glucoside or cyclohexane with the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS)] was bound to P-450LM2 with formation of high-spin P-450, although the increase in high-spin cytochrome was less at high detergent levels than at low. The affinity of P-450 for substrate decreased by 2-3-fold at high detergent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effects of cytochrome b5 on the decay of the ferrous dioxygen complexes of P-450LM2 and P-450LM4 from rabbit liver microsomes were studied by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The P-450 (FeIIO2) complexes accept an electron from reduced cytochrome b5 and, in a reaction not previously described, donate an electron to oxidized cytochrome b5 to give ferric P-450. A comparison with the electron-transferring properties of ferrous P-450 under anaerobic conditions allowed determination of the limiting steps of the two reactions involving the oxygenated complex. The rate of decay of the dioxygen complex was increased in all cases with b5 present; however, with oxidized b5 a large increase in the rate was observed with P-450 isozyme 4 but not with isozyme 2, whereas the opposite situation was found when reduced b5 was used. The reactions between b5 and ferrous dioxygen P-450 were not at thermodynamic equilibrium under the conditions employed. From the results obtained, a model is proposed in which the ferrous dioxygen complex decomposes rapidly into another species differing from ferric P-450 in its spectral properties and from the starting complex in its electron-transferring properties. A scheme is presented to indicate how competition among spontaneous decay, cytochrome b5 oxidation, and cytochrome b5 reduction by the ferrous O2 complex may influence substrate hydroxylation. 相似文献

Rifampicin administration to New Zealand male rabbits increased the concentration of an LM3 form of cytochrome P-450 to up to 30% of the microsomal P-450 concentration. This enzyme was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity with a yield of 8% of the original total microsomal P-450 concentration. Isolated as a low spin hemoprotein in its substrate free oxidized form, it displays in its reduced CO-complexed form an absorption maximum at 449 nm. Immunological assays, as well as activity measurements, in particular its stereospecific progesterone hydroxylation in the 6 beta-position, show a relationship between LM3,Rif and LM3c (from untreated rabbits). 相似文献

A cDNA library was constructed from liver mRNA of a beta-naphthoflavone-induced rabbit. Two clones pLM4-1 and pLM6-1 containing 2.2-kbp inserts that hybridized at low stringincy with a mouse P1 P-450 probe were selected. The clone pLM4-1 was fully sequenced and found to contain a full-length cDNA coding for cytochrome P-450 LM4. Partial sequence and restriction mapping made it possible to identify pLM6-1 as coding for the major part of cytochrome P-450 LM6. Cloned LM4-1 cDNA was reformed by deletion of the 5' and 3' non-coding regions before insertion into yeast expression vectors PYe DP1/10. A similar operation was performed on pLM6-1 cDNA after replacement of the missing N-terminus-coding sequences by homologous sequences form the pLM4-1 clone resulting in a chimeric cytochrome P-450 coding sequence. Expression of cloned rabbit cytochrome P-450 into transformed yeast was optimized by studying the effect of the nature of the DNA sequence just preceding the initiation codon on the level of cytochrome P-450 production. Yeast synthesized cytochromes P-450 were characterized by immunoblotting, spectra and catalytic activity determinations. Cloned cytochrome P-450 LM4 was found by all criteria to be identical to the authentic rabbit one. The chimeric cytochrome P-450 that contains the 143 N-terminal amino acids of cytochrome P-450 LM4 and the remaining 375 amino acids of cytochrome P-450 LM6 was found to exhibit most of the authentic cytochrome P-450 LM6 catalytic properties. Enzymatic and evolutionary implications of these results are discussed. 相似文献

A prostaglandin omega-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 (P-450PG-omega) purified from lungs of pregnant rabbits 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Cytochrome P-450-dependent prostaglandin omega-hydroxylation is induced over 100-fold during late gestation in rabbit pulmonary microsomes (Powell, W.S. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 6711-6716). Purification of cytochromes P-450 from lung microsomes of pregnant rabbits yielded three fractions. Two of these fractions correspond to rabbit lung P-450I (LM2) and P-450II (LM5), which together constitute 70-97% of total cytochrome P-450 in lung microsomes from nonpregnant rabbits. The third form, which we designate rabbit cytochrome P-450PG-omega, regioselectively hydroxylates prostaglandins at the omega-position in reconstituted systems with a turnover of 1-5 min-1. Titration with purified pig liver cytochrome b5, demonstrated a 4-fold maximum stimulation at a cytochrome b5 to a P-450 molar ratio of 1-2. Rabbit lung P-450PG-omega formed a typical type I binding spectrum upon the addition of prostaglandin E1 with a calculated K8 of 1 microM, which agreed reasonably well with the kinetically calculated Km of 3 microM. Cytochrome P-450PG-omega was isolated as a low-spin isozyme with a lambda max (450 nm) in the CO-difference spectrum distinguishable from P-450I (451 nm) and P-450II (449 nm). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis demonstrated that although purified P-450PG-omega had a relatively low specific content (12.1 nmol mg-1), it appeared homogeneous with a calculated minimum Mr of 56,000, intermediate between rabbit LM4 and LM6. When lung microsomes from pregnant and nonpregnant rabbit were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a protein band, with a Mr identical to P-450PG-omega, was observed in the pregnant rabbit, whereas this band appeared to be very faint or absent in microsomes from the nonpregnant rabbit. Purification of cytochromes P-450 from nonpregnant rabbit lung yielded only P-450I and P-450II. P-450PG-omega appears to be a novel rabbit P-450, possessing high activity towards omega-hydroxylation of prostaglandins, and is greatly induced during pregnancy in rabbit lung. 相似文献

The effect of substrate on LM2 reduction was examined using a reconstituted system containing dilauroylphosphatidylcholine, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, and cytochrome P-450 LM2 in a 160:1.5:1 molar ratio. In general, most substrates increased the rate constants of both the first and second phases of reduction as well as the fraction of LM2 reduced in the first phase. The correlation between the high spin content of the cytochrome and each of these kinetic parameters was weaker than expected if spin state controlled LM2 reduction. Further, substrate was shown to exert a rapid effect on both the high spin content and stimulation of reduction indicating that the low spin to high spin shift cannot be responsible for the slow phase of reduction for this particular isoform. Cytochrome P-450 reduction was also examined in both phospholipid-containing and soluble systems where the LM2 and reductase were not present as a preformed complex. In these systems the reactions were substantially slower than with the standard reconstituted system. Addition of substrate enhanced the rate of reduction, indicating that the rate of association between LM2 and the reductase was increased by substrate addition. The strong correlation between the rate of LM2 reduction in a preformed complex and the logarithm of the rate of LM2 and reductase association implicates the rate of functional complex formation as the factor controlling the slow phase of reduction. 相似文献

A hepatic cytochrome P-450 isolated in an electrophoretically homogeneous form from phenobarbital-treated rats, exists predominantly in the low spin configuration (82% at 20 degrees C). The addition of saturating amounts of the substrate benzphetamine to this haemoprotein shifted the spin equilibrium to the high spin form, resulting in a doubling of the spin equilibrium constant from 0.220 to 0.539 at 20 degrees C. The histidine residues of this low spin, substrate-free cytochrome P-450 were modified in a time- and concentration-dependent manner with diethylpyrocarbonate, and progressive histidine modification resulted in a decrease of both the affinity and extent of substrate interaction with the haemoprotein. Although the histidine-modified haemoprotein maintained the capacity to undergo a temperature-dependent spin transition of the haem iron in the presence of saturating amounts of substrate, this capability was substantially decreased in comparison to the unmodified cytochrome. These results indicate that a histidine residue(s) is involved in the binding of substrate to cytochrome P-450 and hence interferes with the substrate-bound spin equilibrium. Our results further imply that histidine is probably not the sixth ligand of the substrate-free ferric form of the rat liver cytochrome P-450. 相似文献

Chemical characterization of protein-protein interactions between cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome b5 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
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

Reconstituted liposomal cytochrome P-450 LM2 was reacted with a series of benzphetamine analogues as substrates. Based on the thermodynamical model of Ristau et al. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 536 (1978) 226-234) the free enthalpy of substrate binding to the high spin form of the enzyme was shown to correlate with the total high spin content of the respective enzyme substrate complex. Reduction and substrate N-demethylation rates as well have been evidenced to linearly correlate with the substrate-induced spin shift delta alpha and moreover with the spin content alpha. The data obtained provide further experimental support for the spin state regulation of the reduction and conversion rate of cytochrome P-450 LM2. 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

Spin state transitions of membrane-bound cytochrome P-450 were investigated by difference spectrophotometry using the 'D'-charge transfer absorbance band at 645 nm as a measure of the amount of hemin iron present in the 5-coordinated state. The magnitude of the 'D'-absorbance band in the absence of exogenous substrates, e.g., the concentration of native high spin cytochrome P-450, was evaluated from the difference in absorbance at 645 nm between ferric cytochrome P-450 and the carbon monoxide derivative of the pigment in its ferrous state. The contribution of the native high spin species to the total cytochrome P-450 content of microsomes was calculated to be between 40% and 65% after induction with phenobarbital and polycyclic hydrocarbons, respectively. Up to 80% of the cytochrome P-450 was found to be present in the high spin state after the addition of exogenous substrates. Further, the steady state concentrations of high spin cytochrome P-450, observed in the presence of reduced pyridine nucleotides, suggest that the rate limiting step for microsomal mixed function oxidation reactions is variable and dependent on the substrate under investigation. 相似文献
