Densities of NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase and cytochrome P-450 molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane of rat hepatocytes.

Abstract: In hepatocytes, NADPH-ferrihemoproteh reductase (reductase) has been hypothesized to exist as aggregates or micelles in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. However, if the number of reductase molecules per unit area of ER is low, this hypothesis cannot explain how a few reductase molecules efficiently reduce many P450 molecules. To test this hypothesis, we estimated the numbers of reductase and F450 molecules per unit ER area (reductase and P450 densities) by miaophotomeay of the two enzymes in conjunction wi… Show more

“…As described in Matherials and Methods, the molar ratio of CPR to CYP3A4 in the two preparations of Baculosomes used in this study was estimated to be around 3.2:1 and 8:1, while the ratio of CPR to total P450 in liver microsomes is known to be 1:10 [57] or even 1:50 [58,59]. Another important difference is that the Baculosomes do not contain cytochrome b 5 .…”

“…The use of detergents to modulate protein-protein interactions provided the first direct evidence for higher order functional complexes. Based on sedimentation and gel filtration studies, P450 1A2 (36) and 2B4 (37) formed pentamers that associated with CPR for optimal activity (P450 5 •CPR). CPR also formed dimers and other higher ordered complexes; however, low amounts of detergent dispersed the complexes indicating CPR homo-oligomers were less stable than those for the P450s.…”

“…Although the most notable P450 2E1 substrate is ethanol, pnitrophenol (pNP) is regarded as a typical model substrate (14). The ability to transform these compounds to products depends on the coupling of electron-transfer processes between P450 2E1 and redox partners, CPR and cyt b 5 (14). The mechanism by which the functional complex (es) form for these prospective partners remains to be resolved.…”

“…In the second group (P-450 1A and albumin), a curvilinear relationship was found between immunostaining intensity owing to the amount of antigen immobilized on NC filters, and between the intensity in sections and section thickness. The curvilinear relationship may be attributed to an occurrence of steric hindrance [17], antibody trapping [15], loss of antigen from sections [15] or reduction in antibody binding owing to a high antibody concentration [8]. Therefore, immunostaining intensity resulting from P-450 1A or albumin does not simply reflect the antigen amount in filters or sections.…”
