1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 induces both 25-hydroxyvitamin D3- and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3- 24-hydroxylase activities. However, whether 24-hydroxylation of these substrates is catalyzed by a single enzyme is unknown. We have examined the substrate specificity of the enzyme using the solubilized and reconstituted chick renal mitochondrial 24-hydroxylase enzyme system. The soluble enzyme catalyzes 24-hydroxylation of both substrates. The apparent Km of the 24-hydroxylase for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were 1.47 and 0.14 microM, respectively. Kinetic studies demonstrated that 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 act as competitive inhibitors with respect to each other. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 inhibited the production of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 with an apparent Ki of 0.09 microM and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 inhibited the production of 1,24,25-trihydroxyvitamin D3 with an apparent Ki of 3.9 microM. These results indicate that chick 24-hydroxylase preferentially hydroxylates 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and support the idea that the 24-hydroxylation of these substrates is catalyzed by a single enzyme.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008928	Mitochondria	Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D002112	Calcifediol	The major circulating metabolite of VITAMIN D3. It is produced in the LIVER and is the best indicator of the body's vitamin D stores. It is effective in the treatment of RICKETS and OSTEOMALACIA, both in azotemic and non-azotemic patients. Calcifediol also has mineralizing properties.	25-Hydroxycholecalciferol,25-Hydroxyvitamin D 3,25-Hydroxycholecalciferol Monohydrate,25-Hydroxyvitamin D3,Calcidiol,Calcifediol Anhydrous,Calcifediol, (3 alpha,5Z,7E)-Isomer,Calcifediol, (3 beta,5E,7E)-Isomer,Calderol,Dedrogyl,Hidroferol,25 Hydroxycholecalciferol,25 Hydroxycholecalciferol Monohydrate,25 Hydroxyvitamin D 3,25 Hydroxyvitamin D3,Anhydrous, Calcifediol,Monohydrate, 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol

D003577	Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System	A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
