Action of Carbon Tetrachloride in the Reconstituted Monooxygenase System Using Partially Purified Cytochrome P-450 and P-448
In the cytochrome P-450-reconstituted system, CCI4 stimulated NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation of the system containing the P-450 form to a much greater extent than that of the system containing the P-448 form. When the P-450-reconstituted system was preincubated in the presence of both NADPH and...

Summary: | In the cytochrome P-450-reconstituted system, CCI4 stimulated NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation of the system containing the P-450 form to a much greater extent than that of the system containing the P-448 form. When the P-450-reconstituted system was preincubated in the presence of both NADPH and CCI4, 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase, aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities were decreased by 40–60%, whereas, with P-448 form reconstituted system, no suppression was observed in these enzyme activities or in 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity. These observations suggest that the P-450 form, but not the P-448 form, is active in metabolizing CCI4 to a reactive species that subsequently impairs the hemoprotein. |
