Cholesterol 7α‐Hydroxylase of Rat Liver

Abstract: 1. Cytochrome P-450 was prepared from the liver microsomes of cholestyramine-fed rats by solubilisation with the non-ionic detergent Nonidet P42 followed by chromatography on a DEAE-cellulose column and on hydroxyapatite. NADPH -cytochrome P-450 reductase was prepared by a technique of affinity column chromatography using 2',5'ADP Sepharose.2. The activity of cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase was measured in a reconstituted system of microsomal mixedfunction oxidase containing cytochrome P-450 and NADPH -cytochrome P… Show more

“…1 C). The apparent Km value of 46 ,uM observed with acetone-treated microsomes was lower than the range of 80-225 itM reported for untreated microsomes (20)(21)(22) and closer to the value of 15 AM observed with butanol/acetonetreated microsomes (23).…”

“…Adult male or female Wistar rats (100-200 g) were fed a diet containing either 4 (w/w) cholestyramine (Bristol-Myers Pharmaceuticals, Uxbridge, Middlesex, U.K.) in Purina PRD powdered rat chow, or a soft diet consisting of 7500 whole wheat flour, 25 powdered milk and 5 yeast for 7 days prior to the experiments. Livers were perfused with 0.105 M-KCI/50 mM-NaF and microsomes were prepared by fractional centrifugation [3].…”

“…Cholesterol 7az-hydroxylase was originally identified as a cytochrome P-450 because of the requirement for molecular oxygen and NADPH as cofactors and the inhibitory effects of carbon monoxide [2,3]. These early findings have been substantiated by the isolation of cytochrome P-450 with this activity [4][5][6]. The isolation of this protein in an active form has proved to be very difficult, and studies on properties of the purified enzyme are still limited, due to the lack of a suitable antibody for immunochemical analysis [7] and molecular cloning.…”
