Effect of nutritional imbalances on cytochrome P-450 isozymes in rat liver
1988
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed for six weeks either a control diet containing 22% casein (C) and 5% fat (F) or a low-protein diet (6% C, 5% F) or high-lipid diet (30% C, 30% F). A group of rats received a control diet containing 50 ppm of Phenoclor DP6. Three major forms of cytochrome P-450, UT 50, BP 3a and MC 2 were purified from livers of DP6-fed rats and only two forms, UT 50 and PB 3a, were purified from control and dietary groups. The amino acid composition and the catalytic activities towards all substrates tested were only significantly modified in the purified UT 50 P-450 isozyme from rats fed the low-protein diet. The N-terminal sequence analysis shows that cytochrome P-450 UT …
Phosphorylation of rabbit liver cytochrome P-450 LM2 and its effect on monooxygenase activity
1984
The phosphorylation of rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 LM2 by catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (W. Pyerin et al. (1983) Carcinogenesis 4, 573) has now been studied in detail with purified soluble form of cytochrome P-450 as well as with the purified protein incorporated into model membranes. The apparent Km values for P-450 of the phosphorylation reaction in all experimental systems were in a range of 2-8 microM, while the Vmax values were dependent on the state of P-450. Upon phosphorylation, the reconstituted enzyme activities with benzphetamine (N-demethylation) and 7-ethoxycoumarin (O-deethylation) as substrates were reduced to 30-40% of control.
Polychlorinated biphenyls, classified as either phenobarbital- or 3-methylcholanthrene-type inducers of cytochrome P-450, are both hepatic tumor prom…

Abstract The cytochrome P -450 isozymes, cytochrome P -450 MC 1 and MC 2 , purified from rats treated with 3-methylcholanthrene (MC), were found by immunohistochemical staining to be strongly induced in the livers of rats treated with 3,3′, 4,4′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCBP), while the cytochrome P -450 isozymes, PB 1 and PB 2 , purified from the livers of rats treated with phenobarbital (PB), were shown to be induced in the livers of rats treated with 2,2′, 4,4′, 5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl (HCBP). The latter compound also strongly induced NADPH-cytochrome P -450-reductase. Following induction, all 5 enzymes were located preferentially in the centrilobular and midzonal region of the liver acinus.…
Isolation of a high spin form of cytochrome P-450 induced in rat liver by 3-methylcholanthrene.
1983
Abstract A form of cytochrome P-450 (P-450 MC1) has been isolated from the livers of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats. The molecular weight is 54,500 and the heme iron is in the high spin configuration which clearly differenciates this form from the other major cytochrome induced by 3-methylcholanthrene (P-450 MC2). Whilst MC2 actively dealkylated 7-ethoxycoumarin and 7-ethoxyresorufin, MC1 was only active with 7-ethoxyresorufin. Ouchterlony immunodiffusion analysis and ELISA showed that anti MC1 and anti MC2 reacted with both MC1 and MC2 but preferentially with the homologous antigen. Both anti MC1 and MC2 cross-reacted strongly with microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene, Aroclor 1254 and …
Isoenzyme-specific phosphorylation of cytochromes P-450 and other drug metabolizing enzymes.
1987
Abstract A series of fourteen cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes was treated with three different protein kinases and found to devide into isoenzymes phosphorylated (i) by both the cyclic AMP-dependent kinase and the calcium-phospholipid-dependent kinase (P-450 PB 3a and PB 2e), (ii) by none of these kinases (P-450 PB 1b, MC 1b, UT 1, and thromboxane synthase), and (iii) by either the cyclic AMP-dependent kinase (P-450 LM 2, PB 2d, and PB 3b) or the calcium-phospholipid-dependent kinase (P-450 PB 1a, PB 2a, MC 1a, LM 3c, and LM 4). Other components of the monooxygenase system, cytochrome P-450 reductase, cytochrome b5, cytochrome b5 reductase as well as microsomal epoxide hydrolase, were poor subs…
