[Catalytic activity of cytochrome P-448 in native and reconstituted microsomal membranes]. 1984

A Iu Grishanova, and V M Mishin, and V V Liakhovich

The dependence of oxidative activity of a microsomal monooxygenase system on the ratio of its constituent enzymes--cytochrome P-448 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase--was investigated. Two approaches for preparation of microsomal membranes with different contents of cytochrome P-448 were used, i. e., time-dependent induction by 3-methylcholanthrene and reconstitution of microsomal membranes by self-assembly from a mixture of solubilized microsomes of intact and methylcholanthrene-induced rats. Using antibodies against cytochrome P-448, the cytochrome P-448 content in native and reconstituted microsomal membranes and its participation in hydroxylation of benz(a)pyrene was determined. It was shown that benz(a)pyrene is hydroxylated in a membrane microsomal monooxygenase system more effectively, when the ratio of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase to cytochrome P-448 is 1: 3 to 1: 6.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction

D003580 Cytochromes Hemeproteins whose characteristic mode of action involves transfer of reducing equivalents which are associated with a reversible change in oxidation state of the prosthetic group. Formally, this redox change involves a single-electron, reversible equilibrium between the Fe(II) and Fe(III) states of the central iron atom (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p539). The various cytochrome subclasses are organized by the type of HEME and by the wavelength range of their reduced alpha-absorption bands. Cytochrome

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
