Incubation of 11-deoxycorticosterone with a cytochrome P-450(11)beta-reconstituted system yielded, in addition to corticosterone and 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone, a new steroid product. The retention time of the new product was identical with that of authentic 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The turnover number of 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone formation was 7.0 mol/min/mol P-450. When a large amount of cytochrome P-450(11)beta was used for the reaction and the products were analyzed by HPLC, the 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone peak disappeared from the chromatogram and concomitantly new unidentified peaks appeared. These results suggest that 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone was further metabolized to other steroids by cytochrome P-450(11)beta. Therefore, we next incubated 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone with cytochrome P-450(11)beta and analyzed the reaction products by HPLC. The above-mentioned unidentified peaks appeared again in the chromatogram. The retention time of one of the peaks coincided with that of authentic 19-oxo-11-deoxycorticosterone. This peak substance was purified by repeated HPLC and subjected to mass spectrometry and 1H NMR analyses. Its field desorption mass spectrum (FD-MS) showed a M+ peak at m/e 344. The 1H NMR spectrum showed the signal of an aldehyde proton instead of those of hydroxymethyl protons at the C-19 position. These results suggest that cytochrome P-450(11)beta can catalyze the 19-hydroxylation of 11-deoxycorticosterone, and the 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone produced is further oxidized at the C-19 position to 19-oxo-11-deoxycorticosterone.  相似文献

Comparative studies of 11 beta-, 18-, and 19-hydroxylation activities of 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) by bovine adrenal mitochondria revealed that an appreciable level of hydroxylation rate was observed in 19-hydroxylation (0.32 nmol/min/mg mitochondrial protein), as well as in 11 beta- and 18-hydroxylations (4.7 and 0.27 nmol/min/mg mitochondrial protein, respectively), at saturated substrate concentration in vitro. Also, the rates of the oxidation reactions of 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone (19-OH-DOC) and 19-oxo-11-deoxycorticosterone (19-oxo-DOC) at the 19-position were about 5 times higher than the 19-hydroxylation rate of DOC. Although the affinities of 19-OH-DOC and 19-oxo-DOC for the enzyme(s) involved in the C-19 oxidation were about one-fifth those of DOC, these results strongly suggest the presence of the following pathway in bovine adrenal in vitro: DOC----19-OH-DOC----19-oxo-DOC----19-oic-DOC. This was further confirmed by a dynamic study of the formation and subsequent decay of the C-19 oxidized metabolites produced from DOC. At maximum concentrations of 19-OH-DOC and 19-oxo-DOC, the rates of production of, respectively, 19-oxo-DOC and 19-oic-DOC reached maximum. Furthermore, at the beginning of the incubation (1-4 min), an induction period in the formation of 19-oxo-DOC and 19-oic-DOC was observed and the formation of 19-oxo-DOC always preceded the appearance of 19-oic-DOC. These observations strongly support the existence of the pathway of the C-19 oxidation of DOC as mentioned above. It was also established that reduced pyridine nucleotide (NADPH) and molecular oxygen were required for these oxidation reactions. In addition, these three oxidation reactions were uniformly inhibited by the presence of carbon monoxide or metyrapone (0.01-1.0 microM), which is known to bind specifically with cytochrome P-450, while potassium cyanide (0.01-0.1 mM) did not affect them. These results suggest the possibility of the involvement of cytochrome P-450 in the C-19 oxidation reactions of DOC, 19-OH-DOC, and 19-oxo-DOC. We also showed that 19-oic-DOC is not further metabolized to other steroids such as 19-nor-11-deoxycorticosterone in bovine adrenal cortex.  相似文献

Highly purified cytochrome P-450 11 beta-/18-hydroxylase and the electron carriers adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase were prepared from porcine adrenal. When the enzyme was incubated with the electron carriers, 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) and NADPH, the following products were isolated and measured by HPLC: corticosterone, 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone (18-hydroxyDOC), 18-hydroxycorticosterone and aldosterone. All of the DOC consumed by the enzyme can be accounted for by the formation of these four steroids. Aldosterone was identified by mass spectroscopy and by preparing [3H]aldosterone from [3H]corticosterone followed by recrystallization at constant specific activity after addition of authentic aldosterone. Corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone were also converted to aldosterone. Conversion of corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone to aldosterone required P-450, both electron carriers, NADPH and substrate. The reaction is inhibited by CO and metyrapone. Moreover, all three activities of the purified enzyme decline at the same rate when the enzyme is kept at room temperature for various periods of time and when the enzyme is treated with increasing concentrations of anti-11 beta-hydroxylase (IgG) before assay. It is concluded that cytochrome P-450 11 beta-/18-hydroxylase can convert DOC to aldosterone via corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone. The stoichiometry of this conversion was found to be 3 moles of NADPH, 3 moles of H+ and 3 moles of oxygen per mole of aldosterone produced.  相似文献

We have recently reported that bovine adrenocortical cytochrome P-45011 beta catalyzes 19-hydroxylation of 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone (18(OH)DOC) in addition to 11 beta-hydroxylation of the steroid. In this report, we examine the presence of these two activities in 18(OH)DOC and 11 beta- and 18-hydroxylation activities on deoxycorticosterone (DOC) among the adrenal mitochondria prepared from man, ox, pig, rabbit, guinea-pig and rat. The results indicate that these animals could be classified into three groups with respect of these hydroxylation activities. Mitochondria of the first group comprising ox and pig showed rather high 19- and 11 beta-hydroxylation activities on 18(OH)DOC compared to the hydroxylation activities on DOC. Mitochondria prepared from the second group which comprised rabbit, guinea-pig and man showed low 19-hydroxylation activity on 18(OH)DOC, whereas the 11 beta-hydroxylation of 18(OH)DOC well occurred in these species. The last group comprising rat had very low activity both of 11 beta- and 19-hydroxylations when 18(OH)DOC was used as the substrate, whereas both 11 beta- and 18-hydroxylations of DOC were high in rat adrenal mitochondria. No significant difference of these activities could be found between zona glomerulosa cells and zonae fasciculata-reticularis cells of bovine adrenal cortex, and between adrenal mitochondria from spontaneously hypertensive rat and those from WKY normotensive rat.  相似文献

Two distinct forms of cDNA encoding rat aldosterone synthase were cloned from an adrenal capsular tissue cDNA library. The deduced amino acid sequences showed that one of the enzymes (P-450(11 beta),aldo-1) had a long extension peptide composed of 34 amino acid residues while the other (P-450(11 beta),aldo-2) had an extension peptide identical to that of rat P-450(11 beta). Glu at the 320th position of P-450(11 beta),aldo-1 was replaced with Lys in P-450(11 beta),aldo-2. The amino acid sequence of the aldosterone synthase was highly homologous (81%) to rat P-450(11 beta). Constructed expression vector containing the cDNA for extension peptide of P-450(11 beta) and the mature protein of P-450(11 beta),aldo-1 was transfected into COS-7 cells. The cells converted 11-deoxycorticosterone into corticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone, and aldosterone.  相似文献

After incubating 18-hydroxydeoxycorticosterone (18-OH-DOC) with cytochrome P-45011β in the reconstituted system, the products were analyzed with HPLC. There appeared two product-peaks on the chromatogram, one of which was identified as a peak of 18-hydroxycorticosterone (18-OH-B), an expected product of the 11β-hydroxylation. Another peak did not coincide with those of any known corticoids. This unidentified product was further purified, and the purified material was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). The mass spectrum showed that the unidentified product is one of the structural isomers of 18-OH-B. A further analysis with 1H-NMR spectrometry indicated that a proton resonance peak of 19-CH3 in 18-OH-DOC disappeared in the product and the methyl group of the substrate seemed to be converted to -CH2OH. These results suggested that the unidentified product generated from 18-OH-DOC by P-45011β-linked hydroxylase system may be 18,19-dihydroxydeoxycorticosterone (18,19,21-trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione; 18,19-diOH-DOC), a hitherto unreported corticoid.  相似文献

The activity of purified bovine adrenocortical P-450(11)beta on the C18-steroid, 4-estrene-3,17-dione (19-norandrostenedione), is described. The major steroid products were separated by HPLC and identified by GC-MS, and 1H- and 13C-NMR as 11 beta-, 18- and 6 beta-hydroxylated derivatives of 19-norandrostenedione. The turnover numbers of the 11 beta-, 18- and 6 beta-hydroxylase reactions were 45, 7.5 and 1.9 (mol/min/mol of P-450(11)beta), respectively, with a common Km of 44 microM. All of these activities required the presence of the electron donating system consisting of NADPH, adrenal ferredoxin (adrenodoxin) and its reductase. These findings provide additional insights into the versatile catalytic roles of P-450(11)beta in the adrenal cortex, in which it may act on C18-19-nor-steroids in addition to its known activities on C21- and C19-steroids.  相似文献

Expression plasmids containing two cDNAs of a rat cytochrome P450(11 beta) family, pcP450(11 beta)-62 [Nonaka, Y., Matsukawa, N., Morohashi, K., Omura, T., Ogihara, T., Teraoka, H. & Okamoto, M. (1989) FEBS Lett. 255, 21-26] and pcP450(11 beta, aldo)-46 [Matsukawa, N., Nonaka, Y., Ying, Z., Higaki, J., Ogihara, T. & Okamoto, M. (1990) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 169, 245-252], were constructed and introduced into COS-7 cells by electroporation. Enzymatic activities of the expressed cytochromes P450(11 beta) and P450(11 beta, aldo) were determined by using 11-deoxycorticosterone, corticosterone, 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone, or 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone as a substrate. Cytochrome P450(11 beta) catalyzed 11 beta-, 18- and 19-hydroxylations of 11-deoxycorticosterone and 19-oxidation or 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone at substantial rates, 18-hydroxylation of corticosterone at a very low rate, but no aldosterone production. Cytochrome P450(11 beta, aldo) catalyzed 11 beta- and 18-hydroxylations of 11-deoxycorticosterone, 18-hydroxylation of corticosterone and aldosterone production from 11-deoxycorticosterone or corticosterone. But neither 19-hydroxylation of 11-deoxycorticosterone nor 19-oxidation of 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone was catalyzed by cytochrome P450(11 beta, aldo).  相似文献

A cDNA clone encoding human aldosterone synthase cytochrome P-450 (P-450aldo) has been isolated from a cDNA library derived from human adrenal tumor of a patient suffering from primary aldosteronism. The insert of the clone contains an open reading frame encoding a protein of 503 amino acid residues together with a 3 bp 5'-untranslated region and a 1424 bp 3'-untranslated region to which a poly(A) tract is attached. The nucleotide sequence of P-450aldo cDNA is 93% identical to that of P-450(11) beta cDNA. Catalytic functions of these two P-450s expressed in COS-7 cells are very similar in that both enzymes catalyze the formation of corticosterone and 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone using 11-deoxycorticosterone as a substrate. However, they are distinctly different from each other in that P-450aldo preferentially catalyzes the conversion of 11-deoxycorticosterone to aldosterone via corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone while P-450(11)beta substantially fails to catalyze the reaction to form aldosterone. These results suggest that P-450aldo is a variant of P-450(11)beta, but this enzyme is a different gene product possibly playing a major role in the synthesis of aldosterone at least in a patient suffering from primary aldosteronism.  相似文献

The interactions of CYP11B1 (cytochrome P-45011beta), CYP11B2 (cytochrome P-450aldo) and CYP11A1 (cytochrome P-450scc) were investigated by cotransfection of their cDNA into COS-1 cells. The effect of CYP11A1 on CYP11B isozymes was examined by studying the conversion of 11-deoxycorticosterone to corticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone and aldosterone. It was shown that when human or bovine CYP11B1 and CYP11A1 were cotransfected they competed for the reducing equivalents from the limiting source contained in COS-1 cells; this resulted in a decrease of the CYP11B activities without changes in the product formation patterns. The competition of human CYP11A1 with human CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 could be diminished with excess expression of bovine adrenodoxin. However, the coexpression of bovine CYP11B1 and CYP11A1 in the presence of adrenodoxin resulted in a stimulation of 11beta-hydroxylation activity of CYP11B1 and in a decrease of the 18-hydroxycorticosterone and aldosterone formation. These results suggest that the interactions of CYP11A1 with CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 do not have an identical regulatory function in human and in bovine adrenal tissue.  相似文献

Metabolism of 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) by hamster adrenal mitochondria gives 19-hydroxy-DOC and corticosterone (via 11-hydroxylation) in approximately equal yields. The ratio of 19- to 11-hydroxylation was invariant with changes in concentration of substrate or a competitive inhibitor. It is most likely, therefore, that a single 11,19-hydroxylase catalyzes both oxidations. Both primary products are further oxidized to the corresponding carbonyl analogs, 19-oxo-DOC and 11-dehydrocorticosterone, at rates that are approx. 20% of their rates of formation. The oxidation of 11-dehydrocorticosterone is catalyzed by a dehydrogenase utilizing either NAD or NADP while the oxidation of 19-hydroxy-DOC is catalyzed by an oxidase requiring NADPH. The 11-dehydrocorticosterone is stable in this enzyme preparation while 19-oxo-DOC is metabolized to two additional products, which are tentatively identified as 19-oic-DOC and 19-norcorticosterone. 19-nor-DOC was found to be hydroxylated at a rate that is 20% faster than the rate for DOC under the same conditions. It is therefore possible that 19-norcorticosterone can arise from 19-oic-DOC via decarboxylation to 19-nor-DOC and subsequent 11-hydroxylation, but the kinetics of its formation suggest that it may actually be formed directly from 19-oxo-DOC without free intermediates. 4-Androstene-3,17-dione and 17-hydroxy-DOC were also substrates for this 11,19-hydroxylase, but 18-hydroxy-DOC was not. Maintenance of hamsters on a low sodium diet had no effect on the metabolism of DOC by the isolated adrenal mitochondria.  相似文献

The effects of several imidazole antimycotic agents, an imidazole and several mineralocorticoid analogs on the cytochrome P-450(11)beta-catalyzed 11 beta-hydroxylation of 11-deoxycorticosterone and aldosterone synthesis were examined. Ketoconazole, clotrimazole, miconazole and etomidate were found to be potent inhibitors of the reactions, causing 50% inhibition of the 11 beta-hydroxylase activity at concentrations between 10(-8) and 10(-7) M. The potency of etomidate as to the inhibition of aldosterone- and 18-hydroxycorticosterone-production was found to be almost equal to that in the case of 11 beta-hydroxylation. Spironolactone and other newly synthesized mineralocorticoid analogs were also found to inhibit the cytochrome P-450(11)beta-mediated reactions. The ID50 values of these drugs for inhibition of the 11 beta-hydroxylase activity were almost equal to those in the case of the aldosterone- and 18-hydroxycorticosterone-biosynthetic activities. The results of kinetical studies indicated that one of the mineralocorticoid analogs, Compound 23-0586, acts as a competitive inhibitor for the cytochrome P-450(11)beta-mediated reactions.  相似文献

19-Oxoandrostenedione, the product of 19-hydroxyandrostenedione by the 19-oxidase activity of the purified P-450(11)beta system of adrenal cortex mitochondria, was further oxidized and demethylated at the 10-position to give the C18-steroids, estrone (aromatase reaction) and 19-norandrostenedione (nonaromatizing 10-demethylase or C10-19 lyase reaction). These reactions, together with the initial hydroxylation of androstenedione at C19, form a sequence of P-450(11)beta-catalyzed C19-steroid 19-monooxygenase reactions. P-450(11)beta is thus similar to placental endoplasmic P-450AROM in some of its substrate specificity, but the two forms of P-450 appear to be different in both physiology and properties.  相似文献

Using the optical absorbance spectroscopy method, the interaction of a number of biospecific ligands (steroids, adrenodoxin) with homogeneous cytochrome P-450 (11 beta) from bovine adrenal mitochondria was investigated. The parameters of the steroid-protein interaction in a number of substrates and products of the 11 beta- and 18 (19)-hydroxylation with the active site of cytochrome P-450 (11 beta) were determined. A sharp decrease in the cytochrome affinity for steroids upon the insertion of the first hydroxy group was observed, which provides for a predominant formation of monohydroxylated products from the substrate and minimum amounts of dihydroxylated ones, despite the presence of more than one position for the substrate hydroxylation by cytochrome P-450 (11 beta). Some structural elements of the steroid molecule were determined as any alterations in these strongly affect the enzyme affinity for the steroid. These structures are: 1) delta 4-3-oxo structure; 2) either 21-hydroxy group of pregnen steroids or the one fulfilling its functions, 17 beta-hydroxy or 17-oxo group of androsten steroids, and 3) the 11th position of all the substrates under study. It was shown that the binding of various substrates into stoichiometric (1:1) steroid-protein complexes provides a transition to high spin state from 30-40% (cortisol, corticosterone) to 90-95% (11-deoxycorticosterone) of hemoprotein iron. Using the experimental system containing individual cytochrome P-450 (11 beta) and adrenodoxin, as well as the steroid and nonionic detergent Tween 20, it was shown that the parameters of substrate binding and hemoprotein spin equilibrium did not differ from the corresponding parameters of the cytochrome-adrenodoxin dienzyme complex. The peculiarities of the multiligand interactions in the 11 beta-hydroxylase system, involving cytochrome, substrates and ferredoxin demonstrate some analogy with a bacterial camphor hydroxylase system and some differences from the mitochondrial system for the side chain cleavage of cholesterol.  相似文献

Incubation of 11-deoxycortisol with a cytochrome P-450(11β)-reconstituted system yielded, in addition to cortisol, several new steroid products. In this study, the structures of the three steroid products were elucidated. Retention time of the first product (Peak 2 substance) coincided with that of authentic 18-hydrocortisol on reverse phase HPLC. To further confirm the chemical identity of this product, the purified sample was subjected to 1H-NMR analysis. The spectrum was essentially identical to that of 18-hydrocortisol. The retention time of the second product (Peak 3 substance) did not coincide with those of commonly occuring steroids. The one- and two-dimension 1H-NMR spectra provided strong evidence for its structure of 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycortisol. The retention time of the third product (Peak 4 substance) did not coincide with those of commonly occuring steroids. The 1H-NMR spectrum showed the presence of signals of 19-CH3 and 18-CH2 protons. There was also evidence that this product is not hydroxylated at the 11-position. Further analysis of the COSY spectra identified its structure as 18-hydroxy-11-depxycortisol. From these results, we conclude that bovine P-450(11β)deoxycortisol can catalyze the hydroxylation of 11-deoxycortisol at 11β-18- and 19-positions and produce cortisol, 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycortisol, 18-hydroxycortisol and 19-hydroxy-11-deoxycortisol.  相似文献

Two distinct forms of cytochrome P-45011 beta, with apparent molecular weights of 48,500 (48.5K) and 49,500 (49.5K), have been isolated from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria. Their amino acid sequences up to the 19th position from the N-terminus were only different at the 6th position (Val and Ala for the 48.5K and 49.5K enzymes, respectively). Each sequence was assignable to a distinct cDNA clone for cytochrome P-450(11) beta (Kirita, S., et al. [1988] J. Biochem. 104, 683-686), indicating that the two proteins originate from different genes in bovine adrenocortical cells. Both forms of cytochrome P-450(11) beta were capable of catalyzing aldosterone synthesis as well as the 11 beta- and 18-hydroxylation of 11-deoxycorticosterone. Thus, at least two distinct cytochrome P-450(11) beta species exist in the adrenal cortex and participate in steroidogenesis.  相似文献

Cholate-solubilized chick kidney mitochondria that 1-hydroxylated 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 (25-OH-D3) upon reconstitution also produced 10-oxo-19-nor-25-OH-D3, which co-eluted with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2-D3) on normal phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with hexane:propanol-2 (9:1), the traditional chromatographic system for isolating 1,25-(OH)2-D3. The 10-oxo derivative was separated from 1,25-(OH)2-D3 by normal phase HPLC with dichloromethane:propanol-2 (19:1) or by reverse phase HPLC with methanol:water (4:1). Unlike 1,25-(OH)2-D3 production, formation of 10-oxo-19-nor-25-OH-D3 did not require a source of reducing equivalents and was blocked by the antioxidants, diphenyl-rho-phenylenediamine, and butylated hydroxytoluene, implicating a free radical or peroxidative synthetic mechanism. Rat kidney mitochondria solubilized with cholate or with cholate and Emulgen 911 produced 10-oxo-19-nor-25-OH-D3 but no detectable 1 alpha,25-(OH)2-D3. These results stress the importance of careful identification of vitamin D metabolites produced in vitro and suggest the use of alternate chromatographic conditions for isolating 1,25-(OH)2-D3 or inclusion of antioxidants in the assay of solubilized 1 alpha-hydroxylase to eliminate contamination of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 with 10-oxo-19-nor-25-OH-D3.  相似文献

Studies were conducted to further examine the mechanisms responsible for gonadal hormone effects on the rat adrenocortical 11beta-hydroxylase system. Despite higher concentrations of cytochrome P-450 and larger 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC)-induced difference spectra in adrenal mitochondria from females than males, no sex difference in 11beta-hydroxylase activity was observed. The pregnenolone-induced difference spectrum, indicative of cholesterol binding to cytochrome P-450, also was similar in males and females. Testosterone administration to castrated males lowered both 11beta-hydroxylase activity and mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 content. Estradiol produced the opposite effects in castrated females. However, when given to ACTH-replaced hypophysectomized rats, neither testosterone nor estradiol affected cytochrome P-450 levels or the rate of 11beta-hydroxylation. These observations, taken with the known effects of estradiol and testosterone on ACTH secretion in rats and the effects of ACTH on 11beta-hydroxylation, indicate that gonadal hormone effects on the 11beta-hydroxylase system are mediated by ACTH.  相似文献

Rat adrenal cells were incubated with various concentrations of two orally active azole antimycotics in order to evaluate the effects on steroidogenesis. The first compound was ketoconazole, a well-known inhibitor not only of fungal cytochrome P-450 but at higher concentrations also of mammalian cytochrome P-450 dependent enzymes. The second was fluconazole, a newly developed oral antimycotic with a triazole structure, which likewise inhibits fungal cytochrome P-450. The influence of both drugs on mammalian cytochrome P-450 dependent enzymes was investigated in this study. Ketoconazole inhibited ACTH-stimulated corticosterone (IC50 = 0.9 microM) and aldosterone secretion (IC50 = 1.4 microM) and enhanced 11-deoxycorticosterone output at low concentrations but reduced it at higher concentrations. Radiotracer experiments with [3H]pregnenolone or [3H]11-deoxycorticosterone as exogenous substrates revealed a 50% inhibition of the oxidative substrate metabolism at about 1 microM ketoconazole. These effects could also be observed with fluconazole but occurred at concentrations approximately two orders of magnitude higher as compared to ketoconazole. We conclude that fluconazole has a much higher selectivity for fungal cytochrome P-450 than ketoconazole. The order of sensitivity of the cytochrome P-450 dependent enzymes of rat adrenal steroidogenesis to ketoconazole was the 11 beta/18-hydroxylase, the cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme and the 21-hydroxylase with decreasing sensitivities.  相似文献

Two hepatic microsomal cytochromes P-450, P-450F-1 and P-450F-2 were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from untreated adult female rats by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with anion-exchange, cation-exchange, and hydroxyapatite columns. Cytochromes P-450F-1 and P-450F-2 were not adsorbed with the anion-exchange column, but were retained on a cation-exchange column and were separated poorly. These forms separated on hydroxyapatite HPLC. The molecular weights of cytochromes P-450F-1 and P-450F-2 were 50,000 and 49,000, respectively. The absolute spectrum of the oxidized forms indicated that they had the low-spin state of heme, and the CO-reduced spectral maxima of cytochromes P-450F-1 and P-450F-2 were at 450 and 448 nm, respectively. Both forms catalyzed the N-demethylation of benzphetamine and had low catalytic activity for 7-ethoxycoumarin. Cytochrome P-450F-1 had low 2 alpha-hydroxylation activity toward testosterone. Cytochrome P-450F-2 had low 15 alpha-hydroxylation activity. On the basis of these results and those of NH2-terminal sequence analysis, cytochrome P-450F-2 seemed to be the typical female-specific cytochrome P-450. The NH2-terminal sequence of cytochrome P-450F-1 was identical to that of cytochrome P-450PB-2 purified from hepatic microsomes of male rats treated with phenobarbital. Cytochromes P-450F-1 and P-450PB-2 had identical chromatographic properties, minimum molecular weight, spectral properties, and peptide maps. Furthermore, the antibody to phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450PB-2 gave a single immunoprecipitin band with cytochrome P-450F-1 by Ouchterlony double-diffusion analysis.  相似文献
