Abstract: | Cytochromes P-450 and P-448 in rat liver microsomes were solubilized with sodium cholate and were partially purified. The preparations contained 5.0–5.5 nmoles of cytochrome P-450 or P-448 per mg of protein; contamination with cytochrome P-420 and cytochrome b5, was less than 10% of the total heme content. The absolute spectra of Cytochromes P-450 and P-448 differed only slightly; both hemoproteins had a Soret peak at 418–419 nm in the oxidized absolute spectra and at 448 and 450 nm in the reduced plus CO absolute spectra. Both hemoproteins showed typical type I (benzphetamine) and type II (aniline) binding spectra but differed in their binding of hexobarbital (another type I substrate). The total phospholipid content of the preparation (per mg protein) has been reduced by approximately 90% relative to microsomes and the hemoprotein has been purified 20–25 fold with respect to phospholipid. The partially purified hemoprotein fractions, after combination with a reductase and lipid fraction, were capable of oxidizing a variety of substrates inluding drugs, steroids, and chemical carcinogens. |
