Abstract:
:In contrast to other P450 enzymes purified from rat liver microsomes, purified P450 IIIA1 (P450p) is catalytically inactive when reconstituted with NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and the synthetic lipid, dilauroylphosphatidylcholine. However, purified P450 IIIA1 catalyzes the oxidation of testosterone when reconstituted with NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, cytochrome b5, an extract of microsomal lipid, and detergent (Emulgen 911). The present study demonstrates that the microsomal lipid extract can be replaced with one of several naturally occurring phospholipids, but not with cholesterol, sphingosine, sphingomyelin, ceramide, cerebroside, or cardiolipin. The ratio of the testosterone metabolites formed by purified P450 IIIA1 (i.e., 2 beta-, 6 beta-, and 15 beta-hydroxytestosterone) was influenced by the type of phospholipid added to the reconstitution system. The ability to replace microsomal lipid extract with several different phospholipids suggests that the nature of the polar group (i.e., choline, serine, ethanolamine, or inositol) is not critical for P450 IIIA1 activity, which implies that P450 IIIA1 activity is highly dependent on the fatty acid component of these lipids. To test this possibility, P450 IIIA1 was reconstituted with a series of synthetic phosphatidylcholines. Those phosphatidylcholines containing saturated fatty acids were unable to support testosterone oxidation by purified P450 IIIA1, regardless of the acyl chain length (C6 to C18). In contrast, several unsaturated phosphatidylcholines supported testosterone oxidation by purified P450 IIIA1, and in this regard dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (PC(18:1)2) was as effective as microsomal lipid extract and naturally occurring phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylserine. These results confirmed that P450 IIIA1 activity is highly dependent on the fatty acid component of phospholipids. A second series of experiments was undertaken to determine whether microsomal P450 IIIA1, like the purified enzyme, is dependent on cytochrome b5. A polyclonal antibody against purified cytochrome b5 was raised in rabbits and was purified by affinity chromatography. Anti-cytochrome b5 caused a approximately 60% inhibition of testosterone 2 beta-, 6 beta-, and 15 beta-hydroxylation by purified P450 IIIA1 and inhibited these same reactions by approximately 70% when added to liver microsomes from dexamethasone-induced female rats. Overall, these results suggest that testosterone oxidation by microsomal cytochrome P450 IIIA1 requires cytochrome b5 and phospholipid containing unsaturated fatty acids.
