The present study examines the effect of the acetylenic thioester dec-2-ynoyl-CoA (delta 2 10 identical to 1-CoA) on the microsomal fatty acid chain elongation pathway in rat liver. When the individual reactions of the elongation system were measured in the presence of delta 2 10 identical to 1-CoA, the trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase activity was markedly inhibited (Ki = 2.5 microM), whereas the activities of the condensing enzyme, the beta-ketoacyl-CoA reductase, and the beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase were not affected. The absence of inhibition of total microsomal fatty acid elongation was attributed to the significant accumulation of the intermediates, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA and trans-2-enoyl-CoA, without formation of the saturated elongated product, indicating that the trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase-catalyzed reaction was the only site affected by the inhibitor. The nature of the inhibition was noncompetitive. In contrast to the delta 2 10 identical to 1-CoA, delta 3 10 identical to 1-CoA did not inhibit trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase activity, suggesting that the mode of inhibition was not via formation of the 2,3-allene derivative. Based on the observation (a) that p-chloromercuribenzoate markedly inhibits reductase activity, (b) that dithiothreitol protects the enzyme against inactivation by delta 2 10 identical to 1-CoA, (c) of the spectral manifestation of the interaction between thiol reagents and delta 2 10 identical to 1-CoA depicting an absorbance peak similar to that of the beta-ketoacyl thioester-Mg2+ enolate complex, (d) of a similar absorbance spectrum formed by the interaction between delta 2 10 identical to 1-CoA and liver microsomes, and (e) of the absence of formation of a similar spectrum by delta 3 10 identical to 1-CoA, trans-2-10:1-CoA, or delta 2 10 identical to 1 free acid with liver microsomes, we propose that delta 2 10 identical to 1-CoA inactivates trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase by covalently binding to a critical sulfhydryl group at or in close proximity to the active site of the enzyme. 相似文献

The ability of 0.4 M KCl to extract over 80% of a short-chain beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase from rat hepatic endoplasmic reticulum, while more than 80% of the long-chain beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase component of the fatty acid chain elongation system remains intact, confirms the existence of more than one hepatic microsomal dehydrase. Following extraction from the microsomal membrane, the short-chain dehydrase undergoes, at least, a two-fold activation. Employing even-numbered trans-2-enoyl-CoA substrates ranging in carbon chain length from 4 to 16, the highest dehydrase specific activity of 16 mumol min-1 mg protein-1 was obtained with trans-2-hexenoyl-CoA; crotonyl-CoA was the second most active substrate, followed by 8 greater than 10 greater than 12 greater than 14 greater than 16. The specific activity of the short-chain dehydrase with trans-2-hexadecenoyl-CoA (C-16) was only 3% of that observed with the trans-2-hexenoyl-CoA. With crotonyl-CoA or beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA as substrates, HPLC was employed to identify the products, beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, of the hydration reaction, or crotonyl-CoA, of the reverse dehydration reaction. It was also observed that the short-chain dehydrase catalyzed the formation of both D(-) and L(+) stereoisomers of beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. The equilibrium constant for the dehydrase-catalyzed reaction determined at pH 7.4 and 35 degrees C, was calculated to be 6.38 X 10(-2) M-1, while the standard free energy change was -775 cal/mol, results similar to those obtained with crystalline crotonase. Finally, based on membrane fraction marker enzymes, substrate specificity, and heat lability of the dehydrase, it was concluded that the microsomal membrane contains a short-chain beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase which is separate from the mitochondrial crotonase. 相似文献

An analysis of overall chain elongation, condensation, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase and 2-trans enoyl-CoA reductase reactions, using the appropriate CoA derivatives as substrates which are required in the microsomal chain elongation of both palmitoyl-CoA and 6,9-octadecadienoyl-CoA, demonstrated that in each instance, the products of these reactions were the CoA derivatives. Reverse dehydrase reactions run with 2-trans enoyl-CoA derivatives as substrates, in the absence of NADPH, revealed that the product was the beta-hydroxyacyl-Coa. In the presence of NADPH, incubations with beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA demonstrated that both the 2-trans derivatives and the alpha, beta-saturated product were recovered as their CoA derivatives. These latter findings are more consistent with the involvement of discrete dehydrase and 2-trans-enoyl-CoA reductase enzymes rather than a single protein catalyzing two reactions. 相似文献

The solubilization and partial purification of beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase from rat liver microsomes has been accomplished through deoxycholate solubilization, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and ion exchange chromatography. A purification of about 90-fold based on total soluble activity was achieved, with an overall yield of 40%. However, the initial solubilization is accompanied by the loss of the secondary portion of the v/s curve observed with intact microsomes. The enzyme requires detergent during the purification procedure to remain "soluble," and is strongly activated by the inclusion of Triton-X-100 at concentrations above its critical micelle concentration in the assay mixture. In addition a preference for micelles has been inferred based on discontinuities in the v/s curves relative to the measured critical micelle concentration of the substrates in the absence of Triton X-100. Kinetic parameters calculated on the basis of micelle-specific activity indicated that beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA substrates possessing even-numbered alkyl chains from 14 to 20 carbon atoms differed little in Vm', but had progressively larger Km' as the chain length increased. The partially purified preparation was also active with beta-hydroxy-8,11-eicosadienoyl-CoA; and with 2-trans-enoyl-CoA substrates in a reverse (hydration) reaction. 相似文献

Synthesis of long-chain fatty alcohols in preputial glands of mice is catalyzed by an NADPH-dependent acyl coenzyme A (CoA) reductase located in microsomal membranes; sensitivity to trypsin digestion indicates that the reductase is on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Results with pyrazole and phenobarbital demonstrate the reaction is not catalyzed by a nonspecific alcohol dehydrogenase or an aldehyde reductase. Acyl-CoA reductase activity is sensitive to sulfhydryl and serine reagent modification, is stimulated by bovine serum albumin, and produces an aldehyde intermediate. The activity is extremely detergent sensitive and cannot be restored even after removal of the detergents. Phospholipase C or asolectin treatment does not release the acyl-CoA reductase from microsomal membranes, but causes a significant decrease in the activity recovered in the membrane pellet. Glycerol does not solubilize the reductase activity, nor does 3.0 m NaCl; however, the combination of glycerol and 3.0 m NaCl did release about 50% of the acyl-CoA reductase from the microsomal pellet. Substrate concentration curves obtained in the presence or absence of bovine serum albumin show significant differences in enzyme activities. The reductase is sensitive to the concentration of palmitoyl-CoA and is progressively inhibited at levels beyond the critical micellar concentration of the substrate. The apparent Km for acyl-CoA reductase is 14 μm; however, the maximum velocity varies with the concentration of albumin used. Expression of enzyme activity in delipidated microsomes requires specific phospholipids, which suggests that in vivo regulation of acyl-CoA reductase activity could be achieved through modifications in membrane lipid composition. 相似文献

1. About 4 and 23% of the homogenate adenylate cyclase activity was recovered in the microsomal and sarcolemmal fractions isolated from guinea-pig heart ventricles. 2. Cardiac microsomal adenylate cyclase activity [basal as well as p[NH]ppG (guanyl-5′-yl imidodiphosphate)- and NaF-stimulated] was increased over 2-fold in the presence of Lubrol-PX (0.01–0.1%). 3. The sarcolemmal enzyme, however, showed concentration-dependent inhibition caused by the detergent under all assay conditions, except when p[NH]ppG was included in the assay. In the latter case, the detergent (0.01–0.02%) caused a modest increase (30–45%) in enzyme activity. 4. Another non-ionic detergent, Triton X-100, also stimulated the microsomal cyclase and inhibited the sarcolemmal enzyme. 5. With either membrane fraction, Lubrol-PX solubilized the enzyme when the detergent/membrane protein ratio was 2.5 (μmol of detergent/mg of protein). 6. The findings with homogenate and a washed particulate fraction resembled those obtained with sarcolemma, and those with isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum resembled those with microsomal preparations. 7. p[NH]ppG, and to some extent NaF, protected the detergent-induced inactivation of the enzyme observed at higher detergent concentrations (0.5% Lubrol-PX and 0.05–0.5% Triton X-100). 8. In the absence of detergents, p[NH]ppG increased the basal enzyme activity about 2-fold in microsomal fractions, but did not appreciably stimulate the sarcolemmal enzyme. Isoproterenol, on the other hand, increased the sarcolemmal enzyme activity (>2-fold) in the presence of p[NH]ppG and caused only moderate stimulation (31%) of the microsomal enzyme under these conditions. 9. These findings support the view that, although the bulk of adenylate cyclase resides in heart sarcolemma (plasma membrane), the microsomal activity cannot be accounted for solely by contamination of the microsomal fraction with sarcolemma, as has been suggested by others [Besch, Jones & Watanabe (1976) Circ. Res. 39, 586–595; Engelhard, Plut & Storm (1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 451, 48–61]. Further, the results of this study show that cardiac sarcoplasmic-reticulum membranes possess this enzyme. 相似文献

The detergent 1-O-n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (octylglucoside) was found to replace the phospholipid requirement in the demethylation of benzphetamine by cytochrome P-450LM2 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase purified from phenobarbital-treated rabbit liver. At low enzyme concentration (0.1 microM) in the absence of glycerol and phosphate, the maximum rate of benzphetamine-specific NADPH oxidation was approximately 35% of that observed in the presence of dilauroylglyceryl-3-phosphoryl choline. At higher enzyme concentration (2.5 microM) and in the presence of 0.15 M phosphate, 20% glycerol, octylglucoside was as effective as phospholipid in stimulating the production of formaldehyde from benzphetamine. The detergent concentration required for maximal enzymatic activity was 2.5-4.0 g/liter, depending on the cytochrome preparation used. At higher octylglucoside concentrations (5-7 g/liter), activity decreased to zero, although neither enzyme appeared to be irreversibly denatured at these detergent concentrations. Sedimentation equilibrium experiments with P-450LM2 alone or in the presence of equimolar reductase showed that increasing octylglucoside levels promoted disaggregation of the cytochrome. Pentamers and hexamers predominated at detergent concentrations where maximal activity was observed, while higher levels of detergent where activity was absent produced cytochrome dimers and, ultimately, monomers. The reductase was monomeric at detergent levels between at least 3 and 7 g/liter. Moreover, both gel filtration and sedimentation equilibrium experiments demonstrated that a stable complex between P-450LM2 and its reductase was not formed at octylglucoside concentrations where high activity was evident. These results are consistent with a model of P-450/reductase interaction in which functional aggregates of three to six cytochrome polypeptides move laterally in the microsomal membrane and interact with the reductase by random collision. 相似文献

The intramembrane localization of linoleoyl-CoA desaturase in rat liver microsomes was examined by various methods, such as digestion by proteases, effect of detergents, and inhibition by the antibodies against purified terminal desaturase. Exposure of the desaturase on the surface of microsomal vesicles was suggested by the fact that the enzyme activity in the intact microsomes was susceptible to tryptic digestion, and considerably inhibited by anti-desaturase antibodies. When microsomes were previously treated with trypsin, the enzyme became more susceptible to the antibodies. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the protein fragments cleaved from microsomal membranes by tryptic digestion formed a single precipitin line with the antibodies by the double-immunodiffusion test. These findings suggest the presence of linoleoyl-CoA desaturase on the cytoplasmic surface in the endoplasmic reticulum, since tryptic digestion liberates only the protein components situated on the surface area of membranes. In addition, desaturase activity in the intact microsomes was not stimulated by addition of the detergent, indicating the further outside location of the active site of the enzyme in microsomal vesicles. The pretreatment of microsomes with a low concentration (0.05%) of sodium deoxycholate, which destroys the permeability barrier for macromolecules without membrane disassembly, did not increase the susceptibility to tryptic digestion and the antibodies. These results show that linoleoyl-CoA desaturase is not present in a latent state in the membrane. 相似文献

Immunochemical studies on the contribution of NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase to the cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of arachidonic acid 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have studied the role of NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and in two other monooxygenase systems: aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase. Human liver NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase was purified to homogeneity as evidenced by its migration as a single band on SDS gel electrophoresis, having a molecular weight of 71,000 Da. Rabbits were immunized with the purified enzyme and the resulting antibodies were used to evaluate the involvement of the reductase in cytochrome P-450-dependent arachidonic acid metabolism by bovine corneal epithelial and rabbit renal cortical microsomes. A highly sensitive immunoblotting method was used to identify the presence of NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase in both tissues. We used these antibodies to demonstrate for the first time the presence of cytochrome c reductase in the cornea. Anti-NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase IgG, but not anti-heme oxygenase IgG, inhibited the NADPH-dependent arachidonic acid metabolism in both renal and corneal microsomes. The inhibition was dependent on the ratio of IgG to microsomal protein where 50% inhibition of arachidonic acid conversion by cortical microsomes was achieved with a ratio of 1:1. A higher concentration of IgG was needed to achieve the same degree of inhibition in the corneal microsomes. The antibody also inhibited rabbit renal cortical 7-ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase activity, a cytochrome P-450-dependent enzyme. However, the anti-NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase IgG was much less effective in inhibiting rabbit cortical aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase. Thus, the degree of inhibition of monooxygenases by anti-NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase IgG is variable. However, with respect to arachidonic acid, NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase appears to be an integral component for the electron transfer to cytochrome P-450 in the oxidation of arachidonic acid. 相似文献

The present study provides evidence for a new rat liver microsomal enzyme, a short chain beta-ketoacyl (acetoacetyl)-CoA reductase, which is separate from the long chain beta-ketoacyl-CoA reductase component of the microsomal fatty acid chain elongation system. This microsomal reductase converts acetoacetyl-CoA to beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA at a rate of 70 nmol/min/mg of protein; the enzyme has a specific requirement for NADH and appears to obtain electrons directly from the reduced pyridine nucleotide without the intervention of cytochrome b5 and its flavoprotein reductase. The apparent Km of the enzyme of the acetoacetyl-CoA was 21 microM and for the cofactor, 18 microM. The pH optimum was broad, ranging from 6.5 to 8.0. The product formed is the D-isomer of beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. High carbohydrate fat-free diet resulted in a small but significant (35%) increase in microsomal acetoacetyl-CoA reductase activity. The cytosol also contains this enzyme activity, measuring approximately 57% of that found in the microsomes. The mitochondrial activity which is 20-25% higher than the microsomal activity appears to be due to L-beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase which converts acetoacetyl-CoA to L-beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. The microsomal acetoacetyl-CoA reductase activity was extracted from the microsomal membrane by 0.4 M KCl, resulting in an 8- to 10-fold purification; in addition, the long chain fatty acid elongation system was unaffected by this extraction procedure. Employing beta- hydroxyhexanoyl -CoA as a substrate, evidence is also provided for a separate dehydratase which acts on short chain substrates. Lastly, the liver microsomes had no detectable acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase or acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase activities. Hence, the possible involvement of the rat hepatic microsomal short chain beta-ketoacyl-CoA reductase, short chain beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, and the previously reported short chain trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase in the hepatic utilization of acetoacetyl-CoA and in the synthesis of butyryl-CoA for hepatic lipogenesis is discussed. 相似文献

The feeding of 2% di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) to rats increased the hepatic microsomal elongation of palmitoyl-CoA by about twofold, while those of palmitoleoyl-CoA and gamma-linolenoyl-CoA decreased to 83 and 63%, respectively, of the control values. When component reactions of the elongation pathway were measured, it was observed that only the activity of condensing enzyme was increased by twofold, while those of beta-ketostearoyl-CoA reductase, beta-hydroxypalmitoyl-CoA dehydrase, and trans-2-hexadecenoyl-CoA reductases were not affected. Furthermore, the time course for induction of both condensation and elongation of palmitoyl-CoA was similar. In vitro addition of DEHP had no effect on either condensation or elongation. Thus, these results indicate that the peroxisomal proliferator induces only the condensing enzyme which is the regulatory and rate-limiting step of elongation sequence. The DEHP treatment also markedly enhanced the cytosolic NADPH-generating activities of glucose-6-PO4 dehydrogenase (2.2-fold) and malic enzyme (7.3-fold). Unexpectedly, the activities of fatty acid synthetase and citrate cleavage enzyme were unaffected. These results are discussed in light of the fact that these lipogenic enzymes are coordinately induced by diet or hormones. 相似文献

E. coli thioredoxin plus thioredoxin reductase have previously been shown to replace dithiothreitol as the electron donor for mammalian liver microsomal vitamin K epoxide reduction in vitro. Such activity is dependent on detergent disruption of the microsomal membrane integrity. A previously characterized salicylate-inhibitable pathway for electron transfer from endogenous cytosolic reducing agents to the microsomal epoxide reducing warfarin-inhibitable enzyme is not inhibited by known alternate substrates and inhibitors of the thioredoxin system nor by antibodies against thioredoxin. 相似文献

Characterization and localization of neutral sphingomyelinase in bovine adrenal medulla 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Homogenates of bovine adrenal medullae hydrolyzed exogenous sphingomyelin at 4.3 +/- 1.6 nmol X mg-1 X min-1 and 97% of this sphingomyelinase activity was sedimentable at 110,000 g. The sphingomyelinase had a broad pH optimum centered at pH 7. Enzymatic activity was maximal with 80 microM added Mn2+; Mg2+ supported less than half maximal activity and both Ca2+ and EDTA inhibited activity. No activity was detected in the absence of Triton X-100. Response to detergent was biphasic with dose-dependent stimulation from 0.02% to 0.05% Triton X-100 followed by inhibition with increasing concentrations of detergent. Activity in response to detergent was also modulated by protein concentration. Sphingomyelinase activity was associated with a plasma membrane-microsomal fraction. Phosphatidylcholine was not hydrolyzed under optimal conditions for sphingomyelin hydrolysis and a variety of other conditions. Neutral-active sphingomyelinase activity in adrenal medulla was similar in magnitude to that observed in other non-neural bovine tissues. This study demonstrates the presence of a potent neutral-active sphingomyelinase in a plasma membrane-microsomal fraction of bovine adrenal medulla. This enzyme may be involved in membrane fusion and lysis during catecholamine secretion through its ability to alter membrane composition. 相似文献

Action of Ebselen on rat hepatic microsomal enzyme-catalyzed fatty acid chain elongation, desaturation, and drug biotransformation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the previous study, the organoselenium-containing anti-inflammatory agent, Ebselen, was found to disrupt both hepatic microsomal NADH- and NADPH-dependent electron transport chains. In the current investigation, we focus on the action of Ebselen on three separate metabolic reactions, namely, fatty acid chain elongation, desaturation, and drug biotransformation, which utilize reducing equivalents via these microsomal electron transport pathways. Both NADH-dependent and NADPH-dependent chain elongation reactions showed (i) that the condensation step was inhibited by Ebselen; all three substrates, palmitoyl CoA (16:0), palmitoleoyl CoA (16:1), and gamma-linolenyl CoA (18:3), were differentially affected by Ebselen; for example, the apparent Ki's of Ebselen for the condensation of 16:0, 16:1, and 18:3 in the absence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) preincubation were 7, 14, and 34 microM, and those in the presence of BSA preincubation were 35, 62, and 150 microM, respectively, supporting earlier data for multiple condensing enzymes; (ii) that the beta-ketoacyl CoA reductase-catalyzed reaction step which appears to receive electrons, at least in part, from the cytochrome b5 system, was also markedly inhibited by varying Ebselen concentrations; and (iii) that similar results were obtained with the dehydrase and the enoyl CoA reductase. Hence, each of the four component steps was significantly inhibited by Ebselen. Another important fatty acid biotransformation reaction, delta 9 desaturation of stearoyl CoA to oleoyl CoA, was significantly inhibited (90%) by 30 microM Ebselen. This effect appeared to be directly related to the NADH-dependent electron transport chain rather than to a direct action on the desaturase enzyme. Last, Ebselen also inhibited both aminopyrine and benzphetamine N-demethylations, two cytochrome P450-catalyzed reactions, in untreated rats, in rats on a high carbohydrate diet, and in phenobarbital-treated rats. 相似文献

Topography of dolichyl phosphate synthesis in rat liver microsomes. Transbilayer arrangement of dolichol kinase and long-chain prenyltransferase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The topography of the dolichyl phosphate biosynthetic enzymes within the plane of rat liver microsomes was investigated by the use of two impermeant inhibitors of enzyme activity: trypsin and mercury-dextran. Mercury-dextran was found to inactivate over 50% of the activities of the CTP-dependent dolichol kinase and the long-chain prenyltransferase. Trypsin caused over 90% inactivation of the long-chain prenyltransferase and 60% inactivation of the dolichol kinase. In addition, the CTP-dependent dolichol kinase was inhibited over 90% by CDP applied externally to sealed microsomes. Inactivation of the dolichyl phosphate biosynthetic enzymes by the impermeant probes occurred under conditions where the mannose-6-phosphatase activity was highly latent. It was concluded that the active sites of these two enzymes are located on the external surface of the microsomal membranes and that dolichyl phosphate biosynthesis occurs asymmetrically on the cytoplasmic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

The hepatic microsomal fatty acid chain elongation of palmitoyl-CoA and γ-linolenoyl-CoA was diminished by 40–50% in male Sprague-Dawley rats made diabetic for 2 and 4 weeks following the intravenous administration of a single dose (65 mg/kg) of streptozotocin. Analysis of the activities of the four enzymatic components showed that only one enzyme, the condensing enzyme, which catalyzes the initial and rate-limiting step in chain elongation, was altered by the diabetic state. Both chain elongation and condensation activities were depressed to the same extent, whereas β-ketoacyl-CoA reductase, β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase and trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase activities were the same as the values obtained with non-diabetic controls. 2 week administration of 10 units of insulin per day to rats which were diabetic for a 2-week period resulted in the reversal of the reduced palmitoyl-CoA elongation and condensation activities to control values. However, neither the condensation nor the elongation of γ-linolenoyl was reversed by the insulin treatment. These results support the notion of multiple condensing enzymes or chain elongation systems. 相似文献

The acylation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate with palmityl-CoA was compared in mitochondria and microsomes isolated from rat liver. Polymyxin B, an antibiotic known to alter bacterial membrane structure, stimulated the mitochondrial glycerophosphate acyltransferase but inhibited the microsomal enzyme. When mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were incubated at 4–6 °C for up to 4 h, the mitochondrial enzyme remained virtually unchanged while the microsomal enzyme lost about one-half of its activity. Incubations at higher temperatures also revealed that the mitochondrial enzyme was comparatively more stable under the conditions employed. The mitochondrial acyltransferase showed no sensitivity to bromelain, papain, Pronase, and trypsin, all of which strongly inhibited the microsomal enzyme. The differential sensitivity to trypsin was observed in mitochondria and microsomes isolated from other rat organs. However, the liver mitochondrial glycerophosphate acyltransferase was inhibited by trypsin in the presence of either 0.05% deoxycholate or 0.1% Triton X-100. The trypsin sensitivity of the mitochondrial glycerophosphate acyltransferase in the presence of detergent was not due to the presence, in the mitochondrial fraction, of a trypsin inhibitor which became inactivated by Triton X-100 or deoxycholate. The results suggest that the catalytic site of mitochondrial glycerophosphate acyltransferase is not exposed to the cytosolic side and it is located in the inner aspect of the outer membrane. 相似文献

Rat liver microsomes incubated with [3H] puromycin in high salt buffer were digested with a mixture of protease, trypsin and chymotrypsin, in both the presence and absence of 1% deoxycholate. Our observations revealed that the proteolysis of peptidyl puromycin labeled with [3H] puromycin was at least partially protected by the presence of microsomal membrane. Immunochemical analyses have further shown that most of the nascent NADPH-cytochrome c reductase in the microsomes was digested with the proteases while serum albumin was effectively protected from the digestion. It is thus proposed that NADPH-cytochrome c reductase synthesized on the membrane bound ribosomes is not transported to the vesicular cavity but directly to the outer surface of the microsomal membrane in a form which is accessible to the proteases. 相似文献

Rat brain microsomes actively dehydrate 3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs. Using chemically synthesized [1-(14)C] (R,S) 3-hydroxyeicosanoyl-CoA, we investigated the biochemical characteristics of the dehydration and reduction steps of stearoyl-CoA elongation. The reaction products, separated and identified as trans2,3-enoyl-CoAs and, in the presence of NADPH, as saturated acyl-CoAs, were released from the enzyme as thioesters which were partly hydrolysed. A kinetic analysis of the two coupled reactions showed that the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase catalysed a reversible reaction with kinetic constants of about 0.045 min(-1) for forward reaction (dehydration) and 0.025 min(-1) for reverse reaction (hydration); Vmax of the dehydration reached 20 nmoles/min/mg and the apparent Km was 44 microM. In the presence of NADPH, the kinetic constants for the dehydrase were unchanged and that for the trans2,3-enoyl-CoA reductase was 0.025 min(-1). The relative proportion of trans2,3-enoyl-CoA and saturated acyl-CoA depended on the protein amount. An inhibition of the reduction step was observed for substrate concentrations above 15 microM. The 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase used (R) rather than (S) 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA. Furthermore, the elongation of (R) 3-hydroxyeicosanoyl-CoA yielded saturated very-long-chain acyl-CoA. These results demonstrated that 3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs entered the elongating complex exclusively at the level of the dehydrase and not of the condensing enzyme. 相似文献

Ethylmorphine N-demethylase activity of the sheep liver and lung microsomes was reconstituted in the presence of solubilized microsomal cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and synthetic lipid, phosphatidylcholine dilauroyl. The Km of the lung microsomal ethylmorphine N-demethylase was calculated to be 4.84 mM ethylmorphine from its Lineweaver-Burk graph and lung enzyme was inhibited by its substrate, ethylmorphine, when its concn was 25 mM and above, reaching to 67% inhibition at 50 mM concn. The Lineweaver-Burk and Eadie-Hofstee plots of the liver enzyme were found to be curvilinear. From these graphs, two different Km values were calculated for the liver enzyme as 4.17 mM and 0.40 mM ethylmorphine. Ethylmorphine N-demethylase activities of both liver and lung microsomes were inhibited by NiCl2, CdCl2 and ZnSO4. Ethylalcohol inhibited N-demethylation of ethylmorphine in lung and liver microsomes. Acetone (5%) slightly enhanced the N-demethylase activity of the liver enzyme, whereas 5% acetone completely inhibited the lung enzyme. Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride at 0.10 mM and 0.25 mM concn had no effect on liver enzyme activity, while at these concns, it inhibited the activity of the lung enzyme by about 35%. 相似文献
