Antibodies to mouse liver cytochrome P3-450 (anti-P3-450) and antibodies to rat liver cytochrome P-450d (anti-P-450d-c) inhibit the 0-deethylation of 7-ethoxyresorufin (ER) in liver microsomes of benz(a)pyrene-induced (BP) mice but do not inhibit the 0-deethylase activity in liver microsomes of BP-induced rats. Anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450c inhibit BP-hydroxylation in BP-induced mouse liver microsomes by 20%, but they do not inhibit this reaction at all in BP-induced rat liver microsomes. In a reconstituted monooxygenase system isolated cytochrome P3-450 metabolized 7-ER and BP. In contrast, its homologue, cytochrome P-450d, did not metabolize these substrates. The fraction containing cytochrome P1-450 metabolized 7-ER at a low rate and BP at a rate of 3.6 nmol product/min/nmol cytochrome. Western blot analysis with anti-P-450c + d revealed two bands in SDS-PAGE gels containing BP-induced mouse liver microsomes. The interaction of mouse liver BP-microsomes with anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450d-c was accompanied by the appearance of a single band (cytochrome P3-450).

1. Cytochrome P-450LgM2 was purified from sheep lung microsomes in the presence of detergents, Emulgen 913 and cholate. 2. The purification procedure involved the chromatography of the detergent solubilized microsomes on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxylapatite. 3. Cytochrome P-450LgM2 was further purified on second DEAE-cellulose and hydroxylapatite columns. 4. The specific content of the highly purified P-450LgM2 was 16-18 nmol P-450/mg protein and purified 164-fold. 5. The yield was 16% of the initial content in microsomes. 6. The SDS-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of the purified lung cytochrome P-450LgM2 showed one protein band having the monomer molecular weight of 49,500. 7. The absolute CO-difference spectrum of dithionate-reduced P-450LgM2 gave a peak at 451 nm. 8. When sheep lung cytochrome P-450LgM2 and P-450LM2 purified from liver of phenobarbital (PB)-induced rabbit were subjected to Western Blotting and visualized immunochemically with anti-P-450LM2, they showed identical mobilities. 9. P-450LgM2 was found to be very active in N-demethylation of benzphetamine in a reconstituted system containing purified sheep lung reductase and synthetic lipid. 10. Turnover numbers (min-1) for benzphetamine, aniline, ethylmorphine and p-nitrophenol were determined to be 273, 1.2, 15.5 and 1.05, respectively, in a reconstituted microsomal lung monooxygenase system. 11. Spectral, electrophoretic, biocatalytic and immunochemical properties of sheep lung P-450LgM2 were found to be similar to those of P-450 isozyme 2, purified from PB-treated rabbit liver and of rabbit lung microsomes.

The homogeneity of different preparations of cytochrome P450(LM2), the major form of cytochrome P450 found in the liver microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rabbits, was checked by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and N-terminal amino acid sequencing. In SDS-PAGE all the preparations migrated as a single protein band of molecular mass 49 kDa. The electrophoretic mobility of this band corresponded to that of the major phenobarbital-inducible band in the microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rabbits. A single N-terminal sequence (Met-Glu-Phe) corresponding to the N-terminal sequence of the LM2 form of cytochrome P450 was revealed by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis. Isoelectric focusing of electrophoretically homogeneous cytochrome P450(LM2) was conducted in polyacrylamide gel in an LKB Ampholine pH 5-8 gradient under denaturing conditions (9.1 M urea). Under these conditions cytochrome P450(LM2) was resolved into six subfractions in the pH range 6.5-7.75. The data obtained reflect the microheterogeneity of this form of cytochrome P450. The existence of different isoelectric points cannot have been due to different protein conformations because denaturing conditions were used, but seem to reflect different primary structures of the cytochrome subfractions.

A major inducible form of heme oxygenase (EC 1.14.99.3) was purified from liver microsomes of chicks pretreated with cadmium chloride. The purification involved solubilization of microsomes with Emulgen 913 and sodium cholate, followed by DEAE-Sephacel, carboxymethyl-cellulose (CM-52) and hydroxyapatite chromatography, and FPLC through Superose 6 and 12 columns operating in series. The final product gave a single band on silver-stained SDS/polyacrylamide gels (Mr = 33,000). Optimal conditions for measurement of activity of solubilized heme oxygenase were studied. In a reconstituted system containing purified heme oxygenase, NADPH-cytochrome reductase, biliverdin reductase and NADPH, the Km for free heme was 3.8 +/- 0.5 microM; for heme in the presence of bovine serum albumin (5 mol heme/3 mol albumin) the Km was 5.0 +/- 0.8 microM; and the Km for NADPH was 6.1 +/- 0.4 microM (all values mean +/- SD, n = 3). Oxygen concentration as low as 15 microM, with saturating concentrations of heme and NADPH, did not affect the reaction rate, indicating that the supply of oxygen is not involved in the physiological regulation of activity of the enzyme. The pH optimum of the reaction was 7.4; at 37 degrees C, the apparent Vmax was 580 +/- 44 nmol biliverdin.(mg protein)-1.min-1 and the molecular activity was 19.2 min-1. Biliverdin IXa was the sole biliverdin isomer formed. In the presence of purified biliverdin reductase, biliverdin was converted quantitatively to bilirubin. Addition of catalase to the reconstituted system decreased the breakdown of heme to non-biliverdin products and led to nearly stoichiometric conversion of heme to biliverdin. Activity of the enzyme in the reconstituted system was inhibited by metalloporphyrins in the following order of decreasing potency: tin mesoporphyrin greater than tin protoporphyrin greater than zinc protoporphyrin greater than manganese protoporphyrin greater than cobalt protoporphyrin. Protoporphyrin (3.3 or 6.6 microM) (and several other porphyrins) and metallic ions (100 microM) alone had little if any inhibitory effect, except for Hg2+ which inhibited by 67% at 10 microM and totally at 15 microM. Following partial cleavage, fragments of the purified enzyme were sequenced. Comparison of sequences to those derived from cDNA sequences for the major inducible rat and human heme oxygenase showed 69% and 76% similarities, respectively. The histidine residue at position 132 of rat heme oxygenase-1 and the residues (Lys128-Arg136) flanking His132 were conserved in all three enzymes, as well as in the corresponding portion of a fourth less highly similar rat enzyme, heme oxygenase-2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

A highly active, large-scale preparation of ubiquinol:cytochrome c2 oxidoreductase (EC 1.10.2.2; cytochrome bc1 complex) has been obtained from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The enzyme was solubilized from chromatophores by using dodecyl maltoside in the presence of glycerol and was purified by anion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The procedure yields 35 mg of pure bc1 complex from 4.5 g of membrane protein, and its consistently results in an enzyme preparation that catalyzes the reduction of horse heart cytochrome c with a turnover of 250-350 (mumol of cyt c reduced).(mumol of cyt c1)-1.s-1. The turnover number is at least double that of the best preparation reported in the literature [Ljungdahl, P. O., Pennoyer, J. D., Robertson, D. C., & Trumpower, B. L. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 891, 227-241]. The scale is increased 25-fold, and the yield is markedly improved by using this protocol. Four polypeptide subunits were observed by SDS-PAGE, with Mr values of 40K, 34K, 24K, and 14K. N-Terminal amino acid sequences were obtained for cytochrome c1, the iron-sulfur protein subunit, and for cytochrome b and were identical with the expected protein sequences deduced from the DNA sequence of the fbc operon, with the exceptions that a 22-residue fragment is processed off of the N-terminus of cytochrome c1 and the N-terminal methionine residue is cleaved off both the b cytochrome and iron-sulfur protein subunits. Western blotting experiments indicate that subunit IV is not a contaminating light-harvesting complex polypeptide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We describe the isolation of cytochrome P-4501 alpha from chick-kidney mitochondria. Although, gel permeation HPLC yielded 41% of the total amount of P-450 present in cholate-solubilized hemeproteins, it produced a highly purified mixture from which the P-4501 alpha could be purified to homogeneity in a final detergent-free state by a single-step application of hydrophobic interaction HPLC using hydroxypropyl silica. The purified P-4501 alpha traveled as a single band in SDS gel electrophoresis with an apparent Mr = 57,000. The absolute spectrum of the P-4501 alpha (Fe3+) form gave a lambda max at 403 nm. This characteristic lends support to the anomalous high-spin heme electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum and the heme structure of P-4501 alpha which we have previously reported (Ghazarian et al. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 8275-8281; Pedersen et al. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 3933-3941). In reconstitution experiments with ferredoxin-dependent NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductase complexes, P-4501 alpha catalyzed the hydroxylation of 25-hydroxy-9,10-secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-trien-3 beta-ol at the C-1 position exclusively with a turnover number of 0.03 min-1. This number is identical to that obtained from measurements of the catalytic activity in intact mitochondria, indicating that only one major species of cytochrome P-450 occurs in chick-kidney mitochondria. The complete responsiveness of cytochrome P-450 concentrations in intact mitochondria to the vitamin D status of chicks provided additional evidence that the major cytochrome P-450 species present in renal mitochondria is uniquely associated with vitamin D metabolism.

The amino-acid sequence of bovine heart cytochrome-c oxidase subunit I, previously deduced from mtDNA was corroborated by proteinchemical methods. The protein consists of 514 amino acids, the Mr is 57,060 including the N-terminal formyl group, which is positively identified. The study describes methods for the purification of the hydrophobic polypeptide by BioGel-chromatography in 3% SDS and/or HPLC and the sequence analysis via complete peptide maps obtained either by chymotryptic or cyanogenbromide cleavage in the presence of residual amounts of SDS. The methods may be used either for a stand alone sequencing of large integral membrane proteins or for obtaining probes to find the gene and provide the necessary complement for DNA sequencing. The results present the only protein-derived evidence for a family of about 20 DNA-deduced sequences of the catalytic subunit of cytochrome oxidases from bacteria to man.

Shewanella putrefaciens can use trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) as electron acceptor under anoxic conditions. The associated cytochromes induced during growth under various respiratory conditions have been separated by liquid chromatography (DEAE Sepharose CL6b) and SDS-PAGE and characterized spectrophotometrically and by redox potentiometry. Two major low potential cytochromes and at least three minor low potential cytochromes, likely to be involved in TMAO reduction, were found. No cytochrome specific for TMAO reductase was found.

The aim of this study was to investigate imipramine-induced alterations of cytochrome P-450 and to determine whether prolonged concomitant administration of imipramine and lithium results in a pharmacokinetic interaction. Male Wistar rats received imipramine (10 mg/kg i.p.) at 12 h intervals or lithium chloride (100 mg/kg in drinking water) or they were treated with the combination of these drugs for 2 weeks. The long term treatment with imipramine produced a very complex alteration of cytochrome P-450: imipramine increased the level of the cytochrome, but it decreased the rate of its own aromatic hydroxylation in position 2. The rate of N-demethylation in the side chain was not changed. Consequently, in the case of both hydroxylation and demethylation, calculated molecular activities were decreased to 48% and 70% respectively. This differential change in activities corresponded well to the observed decrease of absorption in difference spectra (type I) produced in microsomes by imipramine. Carbamazepine-induced type I difference spectra were also decreased by imipramine pretreatment, but to a lesser extent. In contrast, hexobarbital type I binding was increased by imipramine treatment while type II difference spectra produced by metyrapone were not affected. The preliminary SDS-PAGE analysis of cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes of control and imipramine treated rats showed that the investigated antidepressant markedly intensified a protein band at 50.11 kD while bands at 51.28 kD, 56.20 kD and 56.88 kD were less intensive. These results indicate that the alteration of cytochrome P-450 by imipramine treatment is not only of quantitative but also of qualitative character. Lithium alone given to rats affected neither the concentration of cytochrome P-450 in microsomal protein nor the rate of imipramine metabolism in vitro. Lithium given jointly with imipramine reduced imipramine-induced elevation of cytochrome P-450.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The NADPH-linked 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier protein) (ACP) reductase (EC 1.1.1.100), also known as 'beta-ketoacyl-ACP reductase', has been purified from the mesocarp of mature avocado pears (Persea americana). The enzyme is inactivated by low ionic strength and low temperature. On SDS/PAGE under reducing conditions, purified 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase migrated as a single polypeptide giving a molecular mass of 28 kDa. Gel-filtration chromatography gave an apparent native molecular mass of 130 kDa, suggesting that the enzyme is tetrameric. The enzyme is inactivated by dilution, but some protection is afforded by the presence of NADPH. Kinetic constants have been determined using synthetic analogues as well as the natural ACP substrate. It exhibits a broad pH optimum around neutrality. Phenylglyoxal inactivates the enzyme, and partial protection is given by 1 mM-NADPH. Antibodies have been raised against the protein, which were used to localize it using immunogold electron microscopy. It is localized in plastids. N-Terminal amino-acid-sequence analysis was performed on the enzyme, and it shows close structural similarity with cytochrome f. Internal amino-acid-sequence data, derived from tryptic peptides, shows similarity with the putative gene products encoded by the nodG gene from the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Rhizobium meliloti and the gra III act III genes from Streptomyces spp.
