Incubation of diploid D7 strain cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (grown in 20% glucose) in the presence of ammonium metavanadate (AMV) led to a decrease in the cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system (cytochrome P-450 level and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase). The electrophoretic analysis of microsomal fractions of yeast cells treated with metavanadate revealed a decrease in the intensity of the bands corresponding to a M(r) in the range of 51,000-58,000 Da compared with those observed in controls, i.e., cells grown in 20% glucose. Analysis of the cytochrome P-450 transcript showed that AMV treatment reduced the mRNA level. Our results suggest that AMV inhibits the yeast cytochrome P-450 system by acting at both the pre- and post-transcriptional levels.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008861	Microsomes	Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; from Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed)	Microsome
D010105	Oxygenases	Oxidases that specifically introduce DIOXYGEN-derived oxygen atoms into a variety of organic molecules.	Oxygenase

D012331	RNA, Fungal	Ribonucleic acid in fungi having regulatory and catalytic roles as well as involvement in protein synthesis.	Fungal RNA
D012333	RNA, Messenger	RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D014638	Vanadates	Oxyvanadium ions in various states of oxidation. They act primarily as ion transport inhibitors due to their inhibition of Na(+)-, K(+)-, and Ca(+)-ATPase transport systems. They also have insulin-like action, positive inotropic action on cardiac ventricular muscle, and other metabolic effects.
