Abstract: | The role of cytochrome b5 in the NADPH-supported O-deethylation of p-nitrophenetole catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 was studied with reconstituted systems using two types of cytochrome P-450 (P-450PB and P-450MC) purified from rat liver microsomes. The O-deethylation by P-450PB absolutely required the presence of cytochrome b5, whereas the same reaction catalyzed by P-450MC did not require cytochrome b5. These effects of cytochrome b5 on the activities of reconstituted systems were confirmed by the use of antibodies to cytochrome b5. On the other hand, the oxidations of ethylmorphine and aniline by these two types of cytochrome P-450 did not show significant dependence on cytochrome b5. These observations suggest that the requirement for cytochrome b5 in NADPH-supported drug oxidations depends not only on the species of cytochrome P-450 catalyzing the reactions, but also on the substrates oxidized. |
