Metabolism of tetraorganolead compounds by rat-liver microsomal mono-oxygenase. II. Enzymic dealkylation of tetraethyl lead. 1983

D Ferreira da Silva, and U Schröder, and H Diehl

The biological degradation of tetraethyl lead to the triethyl lead cation by rat-liver microsomes from untreated, phenobarbital-pretreated and methylcholanthrene-pretreated rats has been studied; NADPH and oxygen are essential. The reaction is inhibited by CO and can be reactivated in the presence of O2 by irradiation with u.v. light with a max. at 450 nm. Substrate binding to cytochrome P-450 is of type 1. Apparent Km values for triethyl lead formation in microsomes were determined. The highest activities (i.e. about 2 nmol triethyl lead per nmol cytochrome P-450 per min) and the lowest apparent Km values (i.e. 7 X 10(-6) M) are found in microsomes from methylcholanthrene-pretreated rats. In microsomes from control and phenobarbital-pretreated rats Ks values from substrate-binding studies (about 2 X 10(-6) M) are one order of magnitude lower than the apparent Km values (3 X 10(-5) M).

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.
