Cytochrome P450 in beef adrenal cortex microsomal preparations reacted with progesterone and with 17-hydroxyprogesterone at pH 7.4 to produce Type I spectral changes. The magnitude of the spectral shift produced by addition of progesterone or 17-hydroxyprogesterone was related to the concentration of cytochrome P450 (over P450 concentration range of 0.1 to 0.3 μM). Prior saturation of cytochrome P450 with 17-hydroxyprogesterone prevented further spectral shift with the addition of progesterone. On the other hand, saturation of cytochrome P450 with progesterone decreases the expected shift with 17-hydroxyprogesterone by more than 50% but did not prevent the shift. The difference spectra were diminished by more than 50% at pH 9.0.The addition of NADPH resulted in loss of the spectral shifts and production of 21-hydroxylated products, predominantly DOC and 11-deoxycortisol. These reactions were not inhibited by their specific products. The rate of 21-hydroxylation was linearly related to microsomal protein (and microsomal P450) concentration. The 21-hydroxylation of progesterone was competitively inhibited by 17-hydroxyprogesterone; inhibition of the 21-hydroxylation of 17-hydroxyprogesterone by progesterone was not demonstrated. 相似文献

Methoxychlor, a currently used pesticide, is demethylated and hydroxylated by several hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 enzymes. Also, methoxychlor undergoes metabolic activation, yielding a reactive intermediate (M*) that binds irreversibly and apparently covalently to microsomal proteins. The study investigated whether methoxychlor could inhibit or inactivate certain liver microsomal P450 enzymes. The regioselective and stereoselective hydrox-ylation of testosterone and the 2-hydroxylation of estradiol (E2) were utilized as markers of the P450 enzymes inhibited by methoxychlor. Both reversible and time-dependent inhibition were examined. Coincubation of methoxychlor and testosterone with liver microsomes from phenobarbital treated (PB-microsomes) male rats, yielded marked diminution of 2α- and 16α-testosterone hydroxylation, indicating strong inhibition of P4502C11 (P450h). Methoxychlor moderately inhibited 2β-, 7α-, 15α-, 15β-, and 16β-hydroxylation and androstenedi-one formation. There was only a weak inhibition of 6β-ydroxylation of testosterone. The methox-ychlor-mediated inhibition of 6β-hydroxylation was competitive. By contrast, when methoxychlor was permitted to be metabolized by PB-microsomes or by liver microsomes from pregnenolone-16α-car-bonitrile treated rats (PCN-microsomes) prior to addition of testosterone, a pronounced time-dependent inhibition of 6β-hydroxylation was observed, suggesting that methoxychlor inactivates the P450 3A isozyme(s). The di-demethylated methoxychlor (bis-OH-M) and the tris-hydroxy (ca-techol) methoxychlor metabolite (tris-OH-M) inhibited 6β-hydroxylation in PB-microsomes competitively and noncompetitively, respectively; however, these methoxychlor metabolites did not exhibit a time-dependent inhibition. Methoxychlor inhibited competitively the formation of 7α-hydroxytestosterone (7α-OH-T) and 16α-hydroxy-testosterone (16α-OH-T) but exhibited little or no time-dependent inhibition of generation of these metabolites, indicating that P450s 2A1, 2B1/B2, and 2C11 were inhibited but not inactivated. Methoxychlor inhibited in a time-dependent fashion the 2-hydroxylation of E2 in PB-microsomes. However, bis-OH-M exhibited solely reversible inhibition of the 2-hydroxylation, supporting our conclusion that the inactivation of P450s does not involve participation of the demethylated metabolites. Both competitive inhibition and time-dependent inactivation of human liver P450 3A (6β-hydroxylase) by methoxychlor, was observed. As with rat liver microsomes, the human 6β-hydroxylase was inhibited by bis-OH-M and tris-OH-M competitively and noncompetitively, respectively. Testosterone and estradiol strongly inhibited the irreversible binding of methoxychlor to microsomal proteins. This might explain the “clean” competitive inhibition by methoxychlor of the 6β-OH-T formation when the compounds were coin-cubated. Glutathione (GSH) has been shown to interfere with the irreversible binding of methoxychlor to PB-microsomal proteins. The finding that the coincubation of GSH with methoxychlor partially diminishes the time-dependent inhibition of 6β-hydroxylation provides supportive evidence that the inactivation of P450 3A isozymes by methoxychlor is related to the formation of M*. 相似文献

Microsomal 4-hydroxylase of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ), a possible candidate for causing Parkinson disease, was characterized by using rat hepatic microsomes and purified P450 isozymes. Kinetic analysis revealed that Km and Vmax values (mean +/- SE) for hepatic microsomal TIQ 4-hydroxylase of male Wistar rats were 319.6 +/- 26.8 microM and 12.13 +/- 1.43 pmol.min-1.mg-1 protein, respectively. When TIQ 4-hydroxylase activity was compared in Wistar (an animal model of extensive debrisoquine metabolizers) and Dark Agouti (an animal model of poor debrisoquine metabolizers) rats, significant strain (Wistar greater than Dark Agouti) and sex (male greater than female) differences were observed. The microsomal activity toward TIQ 4-hydroxylation was increased by pretreatment of male Wistar rats with P448 inducers (beta-naphthoflavone and sudan I), but not with phenobarbital. Pretreatment with propranolol, an inhibitor of P450 isozymes belonging to the P450 IID gene subfamily, decreased TIQ 4-hydroxylase activity. P450 BTL, a P450 isozyme belonging to the IID subfamily, showed TIQ 4-hydroxylase activity of 64.1 pmol.min-1.nmol P450(-1), which was 3.2-fold that of microsomes (20.9 pmol.min-1.nmol P450(-1)). Antibody (IgG) against this isozyme suppressed microsomal TIQ 4-hydroxylase activity concentration-dependently. A male-specific P450 ml (P450IIC11) catalyzed this reaction to a much lesser extent (10.0 pmol.min-1.nmol P450(-1)), and its antibody did not affect the microsomal activity. These results suggest that TIQ 4-hydroxylation in hepatic microsomes are catalyzed predominantly by a P450 isozyme (or isozymes) belonging to the IID gene subfamily in non-treated rats and its immunochemically related P450 isozyme (or isozymes), and that a P450 isozyme (or isozymes) belonging to the IA subfamily also participates in TIQ 4-hydroxylation in rats pretreated with P448-inducers. 相似文献

The physico-chemical properties and hydroxylase activity of three forms of cytochrome P450, i. e. purified soluble hemoprotein, purified hemoprotein incorporated into the liposomal membrane and microsomal cytochrome P450, were studied. Soluble cytochrome P450 binds type I substrates in a lesser degree than does its microsomal form. The incorporation of hemoprotein into phosphatidyl choline liposomes restores the ability of purified cytochrome P450 to interact with these substrates. The soluble and lipid-bound forms of cytochrome P450 do not differ in their thermal stabilities and protease digestion. The liposome-bound cytochrome P450 has higher dimethylaniline, aniline and p-nitroanisol hydroxylase activities as compared to its soluble form. The aniline hydroxylase activity of microsomal, proteoliposomal and soluble forms of cytochrome P450 is inhibited by the tyrosinecopper complex with NADPH or cumole hydroperoxide as cosubstrates. The inhibiting effect of the complex on other hydroxylase activities depends on the type of cytochrome P450 and the cosubstrates and substrates used. 相似文献

The widely used fluorometric microsomal monooxygenase test for 7-ethoxycoumarin O-dealkylation was reinvestigated with regard to other possible hydroxylation products. By HPLC-analysis no beta-hydroxylation of the ethyl group and no 8-hydroxylation could be detected. Only a small percentage of 6-hydroxylation occurred, but as a new major metabolite 7-ethoxy-3-hydroxycoumarin was found in quantities depending on the microsomal preparation used. The ratio of O-dealkylation to 3-hydroxylation varied according to species, induction, buffer and pH, suggesting that different isozymes of cytochrome P450 were involved. The isozyme mainly responsible for 3-hydroxylation exhibited a great dependence on cytochrome b5 as the donor for the second electron. The fluorometric test does not include 3-hydroxylation due to the virtual absence of an emission spectrum above 450 nm. 相似文献

Cytochrome P-450 catalysing 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 was purified from pig kidney microsomes. The enzyme fraction contained 7 nmol of cytochrome P-450/mg of protein and showed only one protein band with an apparent Mr of 50,500 upon SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The purified cytochrome P-450 catalysed 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 up to 1,000 times more efficiently, and 25-hydroxylation of 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 up to 4000 times more efficiently, than the microsomes. The cytochrome P-450 required microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase for catalytic activity. Mitochondrial ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase could not replace microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. The enzyme preparation showed no detectable 25-hydroxylase activity towards vitamin D2 or 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity towards 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. CO inhibited the 25-hydroxylation by more than 85%. Mannitol, hydroquinone, catalase and superoxide dismutase did not affect the 25-hydroxylation. The possible role of the kidney microsomal cytochrome P-450 in the metabolism of vitamin D3 is discussed. 相似文献

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a chemically stable compound extensively used as oil and water repellent, surface active agents in our daily life. Accumulative research evidence gradually appears the toxicity of PFOS against mammals, but the whole figure remains to be elucidated. The present study was conducted to know the effects of PFOS on human hepatic drug metabolizing-type cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes such as CYP1A2 (7-ethoxyresorufin as a substrate), CYP2A6 (coumarin), CYP2B6 (7-ethoxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin), CYP2C8 (paclitaxel), CYP2C9 (diclofenac), CYP2C19 (S-mephenytoin), CYP2D6 (bufuralol), CYP2E1 (chlorzoxazone) and CYP3A4 (testosterone) in human livers employing their typical substrates. Although all of the oxidation reactions tested were more or less inhibited by PFOS, diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation mediated mainly by CYP2C9 was most strongly inhibited (K(i) value of 40 nM), followed by paclitaxel 6α-hydroxylation mediated mainly by CYP2C8 (K(i) value of 4 μM). The substrate oxidation reactions catalyzed by CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 were moderately (K(i) values of 35 to 45 μM), and those by CYP1A2, CYP2D6 and CYP2E1 were weakly inhibited by PFOS (K(i) values of 190-300 μM). The inhibition by PFOS for coumarin 7-hydroxylation mainly catalyzed by human liver microsomal CYP2A6 as well as by the recombinant enzyme was found to be enhanced by the preincubation of PFOS with human liver microsomes and NADPH as compared to the case without preincubation. The inhibition of the human liver microsomal cumarin 7-hydroxylation was PFOS concentration-dependent, and exhibited pseudo-first-order kinetics with respect to preincubation time, yielding K(inact) and K(I) values of 0.06 min(-1) and 23 μM, respectively. These results suggest that the metabolism of medicines which are substrates for CYP2C9 may be altered by PFOS in human bodies, and that PFOS is a mechanism-based inhibitor of CYP2A6. 相似文献

Studies were carried out to investigate the effects of prostaglandins (PG) in vitro on adrenal microsomal steroid and drug metabolism in the guinea pig. The addition of PGE1, PGE2, PGA1, PGF1 alpha or PGF2 alpha to isolated adrenal microsomes produced typical type I difference spectra. The sizes of the spectra (delta A385-420) produced by prostaglandins were smaller than those produced by various steroids including progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone and 11 beta-hydroxyprogesterone. However, the affinities of prostaglandins and steroids for adrenal microsomal cytochrome P-450, as estimated by the spectral dissociation constants, were similar. Prior addition of prostaglandins to isolated adrenal microsomes did not affect steroid binding to cytochrome P-450 or the rate of steroid 21-hydroxylation. In contrast, prostaglandins inhibited adrenal metabolism of ethylmorphine and diminished the magnitude of the ethylmorphine-induced spectral change in adrenal microsomes. The results indicate that prostaglandins inhibit adrenal drug metabolism by interfering with substrate binding to cytochrome P-450. Since 21-hydroxylation was unaffected by PG, different cytochrome P-450 moieties are probably involved in adrenal drug and steroid metabolism. 相似文献

A protein fragment of P450BM3 (residues 73-84) which participates in palmitoleate binding was subjected to scanning chimeragenesis. Amino acids 73-84, 73-78, 75-80, and 78-82 were replaced with the homologous fragments of the insect terpenoid hydroxylase CYP4C7. The four chimeric proteins, C(73-84), C(73-78), C(75-80), and C(78-82), were expressed, purified, and characterized. All the chimeric proteins contained all the cofactors and catalyzed monooxygenation of palmitate and of the sesquiterpene farnesol. Chimeragenesis altered substrate binding as shown by the changes in the amplitude of the palmitate-induced type I spectral shift. C(78-82) had monooxygenase activities close to those of P450BM3, while the rest of the chimeric proteins had monooxygenase activities that were inhibited relative to that of wild-type P450BM3. The extent of inhibition of the chimeric proteins varied depending on the substrate, and in the case of C(73-84), farnesol and palmitate oxidation was inhibited by 1 and 4 orders of magnitude, respectively. (1)H NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS were used to identify products of farnesol and palmitate oxidation. Wild-type P450BM3 and all chimeric proteins catalyzed oxidation of farnesol with formation of 9-hydroxyfarnesol and farnesol 10,11- and 2,3-epoxides. Three of the four chimeric proteins also formed a new compound, 5-hydroxyfarnesol, which was the major product in the case of C(73-78). In addition to hydroxylation of the C13-C15 atoms, the chimeric enzymes catalyze significant hydroxylation of the C10-C12 atoms of palmitate. In the case of C(78-82), the rates of formation of 11- and 12-hydroxypalmitates increased 7-fold compared to that of wild-type P450BM3 to 106 and 212 min(-)(1), respectively, while the rate of 10-hydroxypalmitate synthesis increased from zero to 106 min(-)(1). Thus, chimeragenesis of the region of residues 73-84 of the substrate binding site shifted the regiospecificity of substrate oxidation toward the center of the farnesol and palmitate molecules. 相似文献

The steps involved in kaurenolide and fujenoic acids biosynthesis, from ent-kauradienoic acid and ent-6alpha,7alpha-dihydroxykaurenoic acid, respectively, are demonstrated in the gibberellin (GA)-deficient Gibberella fujikuroi mutant SG139, which lacks the entire GA-biosynthesis gene cluster, complemented with the P450-1 gene of GA biosynthesis (SG139-P450-1). ent-[2H]Kauradienoic acid was efficiently converted into 7beta-hydroxy[2H]kaurenolide and 7beta,18-dihydroxy[2H]kaurenolide by the cultures while 7beta-hydroxy[2H]kaurenolide was transformed into 7beta,18-dihydroxy[2H]kaurenolide. The limiting step was found to be hydroxylation at C-18. In addition, SG139-P450-1 transformed ent-6alpha,7alpha-dihydroxy[14C4]kaurenoic acid into [14C4]fujenoic acid and [14C4]fujenoic triacid. Fujenal was also converted into the same products but was demonstrated not to be an intermediate in this sequence. All the above reactions were absent in the mutant SG139 and were suppressed in the wild-type strain ACC917 by disruption of the P450-1 gene. Kaurenolide and fujenoic acids synthesis were associated with the microsomal fraction and showed an absolute requirement for NADPH or NADH, all properties of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. Only 7beta-hydroxy[14C4]kaurenolide synthesis and not further 18-hydroxylation was detected in the microsomal fraction. The substrates for the P450-1 monooxygenase, ent-kaurenoic acid and [2H]GA12, efficiently inhibited kaurenolide synthesis with I50 values of 3 and 6 microM, respectively. Both substrates also inhibited ent-6alpha,7alpha-dihydroxy[14C4]kaurenoic acid metabolism by SG139-P450-1. Conversely, [14C4]GA14 synthesis from [14C4]GA12-aldehyde was inhibited by ent-[2H]kauradienoic acid and fujenal with I50 values of 10 and 30 microM, respectively. These results demonstrate that kaurenolides and seco-ring B kaurenoids are formed by the P450-1 monooxygenase (GA14 synthase) of G. fujikuroi and are thus side products that probably result from stabilization of radical intermediates involved in GA14 synthesis. 相似文献

NADPH-supported lipid peroxidation monitored by malondialdehyde (MDA) production in the presence of ferric pyrophosphate in liver microsomes was inactivated by heat treatment or by trypsin and the activity was not restored by the addition of purified NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (FPT). The activity was differentially solubilized by sodium cholate from microsomes, and the fraction solubilized between 0.4 and 1.2% sodium cholate was applied to a Sephadex G-150 column and subfractionated into three pools, A, B, and C. MDA production was reconstituted by the addition of microsomal lipids and FPT to specific fractions from the column, in the presence of ferric pyrophosphate and NADPH. Pool B, after removal of endogenous FPT, was highly active in catalyzing MDA production and the disappearance of arachidonate and docosahexaenoate, and this activity was abolished by heat treatment and trypsin digestion, but not by carbon monoxide. The rate of NADPH-supported lipid peroxidation in the reconstituted system containing fractions pooled from Sephadex G-150 columns was not related to the content of cytochrome P450. p-Bromophenylacylbromide, a phospholipase A2 inhibitor, inhibited NADPH-supported lipid peroxidation in both liver microsomes and the reconstituted system, but did not block the peroxidation of microsomal lipid promoted by iron-ascorbate or ABAP systems. Another phospholipase A2 inhibitor, mepacrine, poorly inhibited both microsomal and pool-B'-promoted lipid peroxidation, but did block both iron-ascorbate-driven and ABAP-promoted lipid peroxidation. The phospholipase A2 inhibitor chlorpromazine, which can serve as a free radical quencher, blocked lipid peroxidation in all systems. The data presented are consistent with the existence of a heat-labile protein-containing factor in liver microsomes which promotes lipid peroxidation and is not FPT, cytochrome P450, or phospholipase A2. 相似文献

Effect of farnesol on Candida dubliniensis morphogenesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AIMS: Cell-cell signalling in Candida albicans is a known phenomenon and farnesol was identified as a quorum sensing molecule determining the yeast morphology. The aim of this work was to verify if farnesol had a similar effect on Candida dubliniensis, highlighting the effect of farnesol on Candida spp. morphogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two different strains of C. dubliniensis and one of C. albicans were grown both in RPMI 1640 and in serum in the presence of absence of farnesol. At 150 micromol l(-1) farnesol the growth rate of both Candida species was not affected. On the contrary, farnesol inhibited hyphae and pseudohyphae formation in C. dubliniensis. CONCLUSION: Farnesol seems to mediate cell morphology in both Candida species. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The effect of farnesol on C. dubliniensis morphology was not reported previously. 相似文献

Studies were carried out to compare the effects of several physiological variables on adrenal microsomal drug (ethylmorphine demethylation) and steroid (21-hydroxylation) metabolism in guinea pigs. The rate of adrenal ethylmorphine (EM) metabolism increased with maturation in males but not females, resulting in a sex difference (M > F) in adrenal enzyme activity in adult guinea pigs. Twenty-one hydroxylase activity, in contrast, was similar in adrenals from males and females. The concentration of adrenal microsomal cytochrome P-450 was unaffected by age or sex. ACTH administration decreased adrenal EM demethylase activity but did not affect 21-hydroxylation. Testosterone, when given to female guinea pigs, increased the rate of EM metabolism and decreased 21-hydroxylase activity. Various compounds known to interact with adrenal microsomal cytochrome P-450 had divergent effects on EM metabolism and 21-hydroxylation . Prostaglandins E1 and F2α, spironolactone, and canrenone inhibited EM demethylation but not 21-hydroxylation. Simple aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene), in contrast, inhibited 21-hydroxylation but did not affect EM metabolism. The results indicate that adrenal drug and steroid metabolism are independently regulated and that different terminal oxidases (cytochrome P-450) are probably involved in adrenal 21-hydroxylation and EM demethylation. 相似文献

Terminal acetylenic fatty acid mechanism-based inhibitors (Ortiz de Montellano, P. R., and Reich, N. O. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 4136-4141) were used as probes in determining the substrate specificity of rabbit lung cytochrome P-450 isozymes of pregnant animals in both microsomes and reconstituted systems. Lung microsomal and reconstituted P-450 form 5-catalyzed lauric acid omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylase activities were inhibited by a 12-carbon terminal acetylenic fatty acid, 11-dodecynoic acid (11-DDYA), and an 18-carbon terminal acetylenic fatty acid, 17-octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA). Rabbit lung microsomal lauric acid omega-hydroxylase activity was more sensitive to inhibition by 11-DDYA than was (omega-1)-hydroxylase activity. In reconstituted systems containing purified P-450 form 5, both omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of lauric acid were inhibited in parallel when either 11-DDYA or 17-ODYA was used. These data suggest the presence of at least two P-450 isozymes in rabbit lung microsomes capable of lauric acid omega-hydroxylation. This is the first report indicating the multiplicity of lauric acid hydroxylases in lung microsomes. Lung microsomal prostaglandin omega-hydroxylation, mediated by the pregnancy-inducible P-450PG-omega (Williams, D. E., Hale, S. E., Okita, R. T., and Masters, B. S. S. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 14600-14608) was subject to inhibition by 17-ODYA only, whereas 11-DDYA acid was not an effective inhibitor of this hydroxylase. We have recently developed a new terminal acetylenic fatty acid, 12-hydroxy-16-heptadecynoic acid (12-HHDYA), that contains a hydroxyl group at the omega-6 position. We show that 12-HHDYA possesses a high degree of selectivity for the inactivation of rabbit lung microsomal prostaglandin omega-hydroxylase activity which cannot be obtained with the long chain acetylenic inhibitor, 17-ODYA. In addition, 12-HHDYA has no effect on lauric acid omega- or omega-1-hydroxylation or on benzphetamine N-demethylation. The development of this new terminal acetylenic fatty acid inhibitor provides us with a useful tool with which to study the physiological role of prostaglandin omega-hydroxylation in the rabbit lung during pregnancy. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 (P450) 2A6 is an important human enzyme involved in the metabolism of many xenobiotic chemicals including coumarin, indole, nicotine, and carcinogenic nitrosamines. A combination of random mutagenesis and high-throughput screening was used in the analysis of P450 2A6, utilizing a fluorescent coumarin 7-hydroxylation assay. The steady-state kinetic parameters (k(cat) and Km) for coumarin 7-hydroxylation by wild-type P450 2A6 and 35 selected mutants were measured and indicated that mutants throughout the coding region can have effects on activity. Five mutants showing decreased catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/Km) were further analyzed for substrate selectivity and binding affinities and showed reduced catalytic activities for 7-methoxycoumarin O-demethylation, tert-butyl methyl ether O-demethylation, and indole 3-hydroxylation. All mutants except one (K476E) showed decreased coumarin binding affinities (and also higher Km values), indicating that this is a major basis for the decreased enzymatic activities. A recent x-ray crystal structure of P450 2A6 bound to coumarin (Yano, J. K., Hsu, M. H., Griffin, K. J., Stout, C. D., and Johnson, E. F. (2005) Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 12, 822-823) indicates that the recovered A481T and N297S mutations appear to be close to coumarin, suggesting direct perturbation of substrate interaction. The decreased enzymatic activity of the K476E mutant was associated with decreases both in NADPH oxidation and the reduction rate of the ferric P450 2A6-coumarin complex. The attenuation is caused in part to lower binding affinity for NADPH-P450 reductase, but the K476E mutant did not achieve the wild-type coumarin 7-hydroxylation activity even at high reductase concentrations. 相似文献

The pulmonary cytochrome P-450, P450 L-2, was purified 460-fold from pulmonary microsomes of untreated male rats. Its specific content was 10.6 nmol/mg of protein. The monomeric molecular weight was 54,000 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The CO-reduced absorption maximum of P450 L-2 was at 451 nm, and the oxidized heme iron appeared to be in the low-spin state, as deduced from the Soret maximum at 421 nm. P450 L-2 had high lauric acid omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation activities, but low prostaglandin A1 omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation activities. It catalyzed the O-dealkylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin, but was not efficient in the hydroxylation of testosterone or the N-demethylation of aminopyrine. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of P450 L-2 was V-L-N-F-L-X-P-X-L (X being an unidentified residue). The catalytic properties of P450 L-2 resembled those of P450 K-5, the major rat renal cytochrome P-450. However, anti-P450 K-5 antibody did not cross-react with P450 L-2, and these forms had different NH2-terminal sequences. To judge from the results of NH2-terminal sequence analysis, P450 L-2 seems to be placed in the IVB gene family. Also, P-450 IIB1 was detected by immunoblotting in one of the peaks on ion-exchange HPLC during the purification of P450 L-2, suggesting the presence of P-450 IIB1 in rat pulmonary microsomes. 相似文献

Omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of lauric acid and arachidonic acid by rat renal cytochrome P-450 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We resolved four cytochrome P-450s, designated as P450 K-2, K-3, K-4, and K-5, from the renal microsomes of untreated male rats by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and investigated the lauric acid and arachidonic acid hydroxylation activities of these fractions. P450 K-4 and K-5 had high omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation activities toward lauric acid. The ratio of the omega-/(omega-1)-hydroxylation activity of P450 K-4 and K-5 was 3 and 6, respectively. Also, P450 K-4 and K-5 effectively catalyzed the omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of arachidonic acid. P450 K-3 was not efficient in the hydroxylation of either lauric acid or arachidonic acid. P450 K-2 had low omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation activities toward arachidonic acid, and efficiently catalyzed the hydroxylation of lauric acid at the (omega-1)-position only, not at the omega-position. 相似文献

Characterization of hepatic drug-metabolizing activities of Bama miniature pigs (Sus scrofa domestica): comparison with human enzyme analogs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We used various substrates and selective inhibitors of human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes as probes to study the metabolism of liver microsomes from Chinese Bama miniature pigs. Nifedipine oxidation (NOD) and testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation (6beta-OHT) activities were similar between human liver microsomes and those from Bama miniature pigs. However, compared with those from humans, liver microsomes from Bama miniature pigs showed decreased phenacetin O-deethylation, coumarin 7-hydroxylation, and chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation activities, whereas dextromethorphan O-demethylation activity was increased. Ketoconazole selectively inhibited NOD and 6beta-OHT activities in microsomes from Bama pigs, and 8-methoxypsoralen and tranylcypromine inhibited coumarin 7-hydroxylation in pig microsomes. However, furafylline and quinidine failed to selectively inhibit phenacetin O-deethylation and dextromethorphan O-demethylation in microsomes from Bama pigs, whereas chlormethiazole more efficiently inhibited coumarin 7-hydroxylation activity than chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation in pig microsomes. Our results suggest that liver microsomes from Chinese Bama miniature pigs are similar to those from humans in regard to metabolism of nifedipine and testosterone (both are probe substrates for human CYP3A4). In addition, chemical inhibitors used as specific probes for human P450 enzymes did not always show the same selectivity toward corresponding enzyme activities in liver microsomes from Bama pigs. However, ketoconazole (a potent inhibitor of human CYP3A4) could be used as a selective inhibitor probe for the NOD and 6beta-OHT activities in liver microsomes from Chinese Bama miniature pigs. 相似文献

The potential for cytochrome P450 from Haemonchus contortus to operate in the oxygen-poor intestinal environment was investigated by examining the ability of the cytochrome to act in vitro as a peroxygenase in utilising cumene hydroperoxide for substrate oxidations not requiring molecular oxygen. Peroxygenase and NADPH-supported monooxygenase activities were measured in microsomes prepared from L3 and adult nematodes. Both cumene hydroperoxide- and NADPH-supported ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase and aldrin epoxidase activities were detected in larval microsomes. Adult microsomes showed low levels of cumene hydroperoxide-supported ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase, as well as NADPH- and cumene hydroperoxide-supported aldrin epoxidase activities. The use of inhibitors in ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase assays with larval microsomes indicated that the peroxygenase pathway does not proceed via ferrous cytochrome P450 (no inhibition by carbon monoxide), did not require molecular oxygen, and did not depend on electron flow from cytochrome P450 reductase. Larval activity was inhibited by typical cytochrome P450 inhibitors (piperonyl butoxide, SKF-525A, chloramphenicol, metyrapone, n-octylamine) and was unaffected by the peroxidase inhibitor salicylhydroxamic acid. In contrast, adult microsomal cumene hydroperoxide-supported ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity was significantly inhibited by both cytochrome P450 inhibitors and salicylhydroxamic acid. Adult microsomes also contained potassium ferrocyanide peroxidase activity utilising cumene hydroperoxide. This activity showed a similar pattern of inhibition by both cytochrome P450 and peroxidase inhibitors. Whilst the ability of larval H. contortus cytochrome P450 to act as a peroxygenase in vitro was demonstrated, the inhibition results with adult microsomes showing both cytochrome P450 and peroxidase activities require further investigation to clarify the nature of the adult microsomal cumene hydroperoxide-supported O-deethylase activity. 相似文献
