3,4,5,3',4'-Pentachlorobiphenyl (PenCB), one of the most potent 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)-type inducers of hepatic enzymes in animals, caused a remarkable induction of liver microsomal monooxygenases, particularly 7-ethoxyresorufin (7-ER) O-deethylase, benzo(a)pyrene (BP) 3-hydroxylase, and testosterone 16 alpha-hydroxylase in chickens, but not NADPH-cytochrome c(P-450) reductase and cytochrome b5. Two forms of cytochrome P-450 (P-450) in liver microsomes of PenCB-treated chickens were purified and characterized. The absorption maxima of the CO-reduced difference spectra of both enzymes (chicken P-448 L and chicken P-448 H) were at 448 nm. From the oxidized form of their absolute spectra, chicken P-448 L was a low-spin form and chicken P-448 H was a high-spin form. They had molecular masses of 56 and 54 kDa, respectively. In a reconstituted system, 7-ER O-deethylation, BP 3-hydroxylation, and testosterone 16 alpha-hydroxylation were catalyzed at high rates by chicken P-448 L but not by chicken P-448 H. Chicken P-448 L also catalyzed N-demethylation of aminopyrine, benzphetamine, and ethylmorphine with relatively low activity. On the other hand, chicken P-448 H functioned only in catalyzing estradiol 2-hydroxylation. These results were supported by an inhibition study of microsomal monooxygenases using an antibody against each enzyme. Immunochemical studies revealed that the enzymes differ from each other but are both inducible by PenCB-treatment. Chicken P-448 L and chicken P-448 H respectively comprise about 82 and 7% of the total P-450 content in chicken liver microsomes.

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.
