title: A novel form of cytochrome P-450 in beagle dogs. P-450-D3 is a low spin form of cytochrome P-450 but with catalytic and structural properties similar to P-450d.
abstract: A form of cytochrome P-450, P-450-D3, cross reactive with antibodies to rat P-450d was purified from liver microsomes of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-treated female Beagle dogs to an electrophoretic homogeneity. Judging from the result of sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the molecular weight of P-450-D3 was estimated to be 54,000. The oxidized form of P-450-D3 showed a peak at 416 nm indicating that the cytochrome is mostly in a low spin state. The carbon monoxide bound reduced form of P-450-D3 showed a peak at 448 nm. In a reconstituted system, P-450-D3 catalyzed drug oxidations including benzphetamine and aminopyrine N-demethylations, 7-ethoxycoumarin and p-propoxyaniline O-dealkylations, and aniline and benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylations. The rate of aniline hydroxylation catalyzed by P-450-D3 was similar to that catalyzed by P-450c which is a low spin form of cytochrome P-450 purified from liver microsomes of PCB-treated rats, whereas the catalytic activities of P-450-D3 for 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation and benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylation were considerably lower than those of P-450c. The amino terminal portion of P-450-D3 was found to be highly similar to those of P-450d, human P3-450 and P3-450 when four amino acid deletions were tentatively inserted between fifth and sixth amino acids from the N-terminal, but not that of P-450c which is a low spin form of cytochrome P-448 purified from rat liver microsomes. These results indicate that Beagle dogs possess a low spin form of cytochrome P-450 with spectral properties similar to P-450c but with catalytic and structural properties similar to P-450d.
