Purification of cytochrome P-450 from pig testis by aniline-sepharose 4B and isoelectric focusing.
Testicular cytochrome P-450 was purified by a procedure including preparative isoelectrofocusing. The cytochrome P-450 was determined to have an isoelectric point of 6.47 on analytical isoelectric focusing. The purified cytochrome P-450 was found to be homogeneous and its molecular weight was estimated to be 52,000 on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The carbon monoxide difference spectrum with a peak at 448 nm exhibited absorption spectrum of a typical cytochrome P-450. 284-fold purification was achieved with an yield of 10.6%. Following preparation of the microsomes, the purification is accomplished by a two-step procedure utilizing Aniline-Sepharose 4B column chromatography and preparative isoelectric focusing.
