Regio- and stereospecificity of homogeneous 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase for trans-dihydrodiol metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The homogeneous 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.50) of rat liver cytosol is indistinguishable from dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (trans-1,2-dihydrobenzene-1,2-diol dehydrogenase EC 1.3.1.20), Penning, T. M., Mukharji, I., Barrows, S., and Talalay, P. (1984) Biochem. J. 222, 601-611). Examination of the substrate specificity of the purified dehydrogenase for trans-dihydrodiol metaboli...

Evidence for bay region activation of chrysene 1,2-dihydrodiol to an ultimate carcinogen.

The tumor-initiating activities of chrysene and the three metabolically possible trans-dihydrodiols at the 1,2-, 3,4-, and 5,6-positions of chyrsene were determined on the skin of female CD-1 mice. A single topical application of 0.4, 1.25, or 4.0 mumol of each compound was followed 7 days later by twice-weekly applications of the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate for 25 weeks...

Aflatoxin B1 dihydrodiol antibody: production and specificity.

A specific antibody for 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxyaflatoxin B1 (AFB1-diol) was prepared, and its reactivity was characterized for the major aflatoxin (AF) B1 (AFB1) metabolites. Reductive alkylation was used to conjugate AFB1-diol to ethylenediamine-modified bovine serum albumin (EDA-BSA) and horseradish peroxidase for use as an immunogen and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) marker, ...

Molecular characterization of two monkey dihydrodiol dehydrogenases.

Japanese monkey liver contains multiple forms of dihydrodiol dehydrogenase with 3(20)alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. Here we have purified the major and minor forms (DD1 and DD4) of the enzyme from Cynomolgus monkey liver, and isolated cDNA species for the two enzyme forms by reverse transcription-PCR. The cDNAs encoded proteins comprising of 323 amino acids, in which the sequence ...

Selective activation of some dihydrodiols of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to mutagenic products by prostaglandin synthetase.

The ability of prostaglandin synthetase (PGS) to cooxidize benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, and several of their dihydrodiol derivatives to mutagenic products was tested with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. The microsomal fraction of ram seminal vesicles, a known source of PGS, in the presence of the PGS substrate arachidonic acid, metabolized benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihy...
