Microsomes from male rats treated with picloram (100 mg/kg/day) for 7 days showed a 48% decrease in 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity when incubated with (4-14C) androstenedione. These data are consistent with the assertion that picloram decreases the titer of hepatic male specific cytochrome P-450h. Several lines of evidence suggested that picloram is an inducer of hepatic cytochrome P-450 in male rats. First, SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed an intensified hepatic microsomal polypeptide (MW 54,000) following picloram pretreatment. This polypeptide co-migrated with protein bands which were correspondingly intensified after pretreatment with known inducers of cytochrome P-450d (3-methylcholanthrene and isosafrole). Second, no increase in the binding of metyrapone to picloram treated microsomes was noted compared with controls, suggesting no increase in phenobarbital-inducible forms of cytochrome P-450. Third, hepatic microsomes from picloram treated rats activated 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline (a cytochrome P-450d mediated catalysis) causing a 5-fold increase in the number of induced Salmonella typhimurium TA98 revertant colonies formed compared with control microsomes. Fourth, the binding of n-octylamine to hepatic microsomes from picloram-treated rats showed, like microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats, an increase in the proportion of high-spin cytochrome P-450 present. Cytochrome P-450d is known to be a high spin haemoprotein.

Coumarin-specific cytochrome P-450 (P-450Coh) has been isolated from liver microsomes of DBA/2N mice induced with pyrazole. The induction effect was accompanied by a 5.8-5.9-fold increase in the P-450Coh content which made up to 14.4-17% of the total cytochrome P-450 pool in the microsomes. At the final step of P-450Coh purification, variously substituted Sepharoses (hydroxyphenyl-, cholate-, aminooctyl- and t-cytochrome-b5-) were used. The optimal scheme involved solubilization of microsomes with sodium cholate, hydrophobic chromatography on octyl-Sepharose, adsorption on calcium-tartrate gel and hydrophobic ion-exchange chromatography on aminooctyl-Sepharose. According to SDS gel electrophoresis data, the purity of P-450Coh was 95% and Mr was 50,000 Da. The amino acid composition of the protein includes 445 residues. At saturating concentrations of coumarin, more than 90% of P-450Coh are represented by the high spin form. The catalytic activity of P-450Coh was studied in reactions of xenobiotics oxidation.

Administration of the imidazole antifungal agents ketoconazole, miconazole and clotrimazole gave rise to increases in the microsomal cytochrome P-450 levels and the NADPH-dependent reduction of cytochrome c. Clotrimazole, and to a much lesser extent miconazole and ketoconazole, stimulated the dealkylation of pentoxyresorufin. All 3 agents gave rise to small, but significant increases in the O-deethylation of ethoxycoumarin and ethoxyresorufin. The antifungal-induced O-deethylation of ethoxycoumarin was much more sensitive to inhibition by metyrapone rather than by alpha-naphthoflavone. The binding of metyrapone to reduced microsomes was enhanced by treatment of animals with the 3 antifungal agents, clotrimazole being clearly the most potent. Immunoquantitation of cytochrome P-450 proteins using an ELISA procedure and employing anti-cytochrome P-450c (P-450IA1, P-448 low spin) and P-450b (P-450IIB1) antisera revealed that clotrimazole and miconazole, but not ketoconazole, induced the levels of phenobarbital-induced cytochromes P-450, while none of the antifungal agents increased the levels of cytochrome of P-448 proteins. Similar results were obtained using Western blots employing the above antibodies. On SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis microsomes derived from animals pretreated with clotrimazole showed intensification of a band at 51 kDa which was identified by Western blotting as the PCN-inducible form of cytochrome P-450 (cytochrome P-450p, P-450III family). Similar, but less pronounced intensification was seen with microsomes from animals pretreated with miconazole and ketoconazole. Furthermore, microsomes from clotrimazole- and ketoconazole-treated animals interacted with erythromycin to yield type I spectra. It is concluded that the imidazole-containing agents clotrimazole and miconazole, and to a much lesser extent ketoconazole, are potent inducers of the rat hepatic microsomal mixed-function oxidases, displaying selectivity towards the P-450IIB (phenobarbital-inducible) and P-450III (PCN-inducible) families of cytochrome P-450 proteins.

A reducible hydroperoxidase, haemoprotein b-590, has been purified 16-fold from a soluble fraction of Escherichia coli K12, grown anaerobically with glycerol and fumarate. The Mr of the native protein, determined by gel filtration, was 331,000 although a minor, smaller species with a Mr of 188,000 was also detected; both had catalase activities. Based on the subunit Mr, determined from SDS gel electrophoresis to be 75,000, the above species are tentatively identified as tetramers and dimers, respectively. The isoelectric point of both species was 4.4. The absorption spectrum of the isolated haemoprotein is typical of ferric, high-spin haem. The A405/A280 ratio never exceeded 0.27, a value half of that obtained for E. coli hydroperoxidase I. On reduction with dithionite, the gamma, beta, and alpha bands were at 441, 559 and 590 nm respectively, the alpha-band being unusually distinct. Treatment of the reduced form with CO gave a sharp prominent gamma-band at 426 nm and caused significant shifts of the alpha and beta bands to shorter (574 and 545 nm) wavelengths. The pyridine haemochrome spectra showed the haem to be protohaem IX; the spectra were featureless between 580 and 630 nm, thus excluding the presence of haem a. However, some features of the difference spectra of the haemoprotein were reminiscent of cytochrome a1, notably the maxima in reduced minus oxidized spectra at 444 and 593 nm and the peaks and troughs in CO difference spectra at 426 and 446 nm respectively. The haemoprotein had high catalase activity: Vmax was 2.3 X 10(6) mol H2O2 (mol haem)-1 min-1 and the Km was 11 mM. At 10 mM-H2O2 the first order rate constant was 0.3 X 10(7) M-1 s-1. The haemoprotein was also a peroxidase with o-dianisidine or 2,3',6-trichloroindophenol as substrates; for the latter substrate, the Km was 0.18 mM. It is concluded that haemoprotein b-590 strongly resembles the hydroperoxidase I purified by Claiborne & Fridovich (Journal of Biological Chemistry 254, 4245-4252, 1979) and that a similar haemoprotein was mistaken for a cytochrome a1 b complex by Barrett & Sinclair (Abstracts of the 7th International Congress of Biochemistry, Tokyo, H-107, p. 907, 1967).

Microsomal b-type hemoprotein designated, cytochrome b555 of C.roseus seedlings was solubilized using detergents and purified by a combination of ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration to a specific content of 18.5 nmol per mg of protein. The purified cytochrome b555 was homogeneous and estimated to have an apparent molecular weight of 16500 on SDS-PAGE. The absorption spectrum of the reduced form has major peaks at 424, 525 and 555 nm. The alpha-band of the reduced form is asymmetric with a pronounced shoulder at 559 nm. The spectrum of the pyridine ferrohemochrome shows absorption peaks at 557, 524 and 418 nm indicating that the cytochrome has protoheme prosthetic group. The purified cytochrome is autoxidizable and does not combine with carbon monoxide, azide or cyanide. It is reducible by NADH in the presence of NADH-cytochrome b555 reductase partially purified from C.roseus microsomes.

The major form of cytochrome P-450, P-450K-5, was purified from kidney microsomes of untreated male rats with high-performance liquid chromatography with anion-exchange and hydroxylapatite columns. The monomeric molecular weight of P-450K-5 was 52000 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the CO-reduced absorption maximum was at 452 nm. P-450K-5 catalyzed the omega- and (omega-1)-hydroxylation of lauric acid, but was inefficient in the N-demethylation of benzphetamine and the O-dealkylation of 7-ethoxycoumarine. The NH2-terminal sequence of P-450K-5 was quite different from cytochrome P-450s purified from rat hepatic microsomes.

Phagocytosis by neutrophils and other 'professional' phagocytic cells is accompanied by a microbicidal burst of non-mitochondrial respiration. Cytochrome b-245 is the only clearly defined component of this oxidase system and its absence provides the molecular basis of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), in which a profound predisposition to infection results from complete failure of this respiratory burst. Purification of the cytochrome has proved difficult, with uniform disagreement regarding the identity of its apoprotein, descriptions of its relative molecular mass (Mr) on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) ranging from 10,000 to 127,000 (10-127K). I report here that it has two subunits, a 23K protein and the previously described 76-92K glycoprotein. These subunits are closely linked and remain associated with the haem of the cytochrome through affinity and gel filtration chromatography and sucrose gradient centrifugation, and exhibit a similar distribution in a pH gradient. Neither protein was detected in the cells of five patients with X-linked CGD whereas both were present in two with the form of this disease with autosomal recessive inheritance.

The concentration of proteins in the urine of adult bank vole males was higher than that in urine of immature males and females. After separation of the urine by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of SDS, the principal urinary protein had a slightly lower mobility than cytochrome C. Urine from females or castrated males contained only trace amounts of this protein. Injection of testosterone into castrated males increased this protein band. We suggest that bank vole males, like those of rats and mice, synthesize and release in their urine an androgen-dependent protein fraction.

Sudan III treatment of Long-Evans rats results in increased hepatic monooxygenase activity using ethoxycoumarin and aniline as substrates. Monooxygenase activity towards amino-pyrine and nitrosodimethylamine is not affected. Sudan III treatment results in increased microsomal cytochrome P448 and increased amounts of a protein band which comigrates with purified cytochrome P448 during SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The proportions of the different dihydrodiols formed during the incubation of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene with microsomes vary between untreated and treated animals. Thus, extracts of microsomes from untreated rats were found to contain materials with chromatographic properties identical to those of the 3,4-dihydrodiol and the 5,6-dihydrodiol when examined on two different h.p.l.c. systems. Extracts of microsomes from Sudan III treated animals were found to contain materials with chromatographic properties identical to those of the 5,6-dihydrodiol and the 8,9-dihydrodiol when similarly examined. These findings suggest that the protective effect of Sudan III against DMBA induced leukaemia is mediated by an alteration in monooxygenase activity.

Two constitutive forms of cytochrome P-450 isozyme were isolated from microsomes prepared from a single bovine liver. The two highly purified isozymes were electrophoretically homogeneous on SDS-polyacrylamide gel and their apparent minimum molecular weights were estimated to be 50 000 and 55 000. The isozyme of smaller molecular weight, designated cytochrome P-450A, and the one of large molecular weight, designated cytochrome P-450B, were distinct proteins by the criteria, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, peptide maps, amino acid contents. To reveal the immunochemical relation between these two isozymes, antibodies to each isozyme was raised in rabbit. Antibodies to cytochrome P-450A gave a single precipitin line against its antigen in Ouchterlony double-diffusion plates, but did not cross-react against cytochrome P-450B. On the other hand, antibodies to cytochrome P-450B formed a single precipitin line with its antigen and did not show any cross-reactivity against cytochrome P-450B. These results indicate that two isozymes are immunochemically distinct. This conclusion was supported by the results from immunochemical staining of the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretogram of the purified isozymes and detergent-solubilized bovine liver microsomes transferred to the nitrocellulose sheet. Both cytochromes P-450 showed high catalytic activities toward (+)-benzphetamine and aminopyrine in reconstituted systems, indicating that both enzymes have a high turnover number for N-demethylation.
