title: Genetic control of acetyl coenzyme A-dependent arylamine N-acetyltransferase, hydrazine N-acetyltransferase, and N-hydroxy-arylamine O-acetyltransferase enzymes in C57BL/6J, A/J, AC57F1, and the rapid and slow acetylator A.B6 and B6.A congenic inbred mouse.
abstract: Acetyl coenzyme A-dependent N-acetyltransferase and O-acetyltransferase activities were examined in liver cytosols derived from homozygous rapid acetylator C57BL/6J and A.B6 congenic inbred mouse strains, from homozygous slow acetylator A/J and B6.A congenic inbred mouse strains, and from the (C57BL/6J x A/J)F1 heterozygous acetylator hybrid mouse strain. Acetylator genotype-dependent N-acetyltransferase activity was exhibited for the N-acetylation of p-aminobenzoic acid, 2-aminofluorene, and 4-aminobiphenyl. In contrast, levels of isoniazid N-acetyltransferase and N-hydroxy-3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl O-acetyltransferase activities in mouse liver cytosol appeared to be independent of the arylamine Nat acetylator gene. Although cytosolic N-acetyltransferase activities differed about 2-fold between the parental C57BL/6J and A/J strains for p-aminobenzoic acid, 2-aminofluorene, and 4-aminobiphenyl, the same N-acetyltransferase activities differed about 6-7-fold between the homozygous rapid acetylator A.B6 and the homozygous slow acetylator B6.A congenic inbred strains. Partial purification of acetyl coenzyme A-dependent arylamine N-acetyltransferase activity in the five inbred mouse strains showed one major paraoxon-resistant enzyme in liver cytosol in each of the rapid and slow acetylator mouse strains examined. Levels of partially purified 2-aminofluorene and 4-aminobiphenyl N-acetyltransferase activity were about 7-fold higher in the A.B6 than the B6.A congenic inbred strain. Partial purification of acetyl coenzyme A-dependent isoniazid N-acetyltransferase activity showed catalysis by a paraoxon-resistant enzyme(s) distinct from the major arylamine N-acetyltransferase enzyme(s). These results suggest that isoniazid N-acetyltransferase(s) in mouse liver cytosol is a product of a separate gene that segregates independently of the arylamine Nat gene.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
