Cytosolic and microsomal epoxide hydrolases: differential properties in mammalian liver.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The epoxide hydrolase activities of the 100,000 g pellet (microsomal) and 100,00 g soluble (cystosolic) fractions of mouse, rat, and guinea pig liver were measured with three closely related compounds used as substrates. Differences between the species in the distribution of the cytosolic and microsomal hydrolases and in their substrate specificities and pH optima demonstrate why epoxide hydrolase activity in the cytosolic fraction was not detected earlier in spie of intensive work on the microsomal epoxide hydrolase.

Differential substrate selectivity of murine hepatic cytosolic and microsomal epoxide hydrolases.
The initial rates of hydration of sixteen epoxides in the presence of cytosolic and microsomal fractions of mouse liver were determined. 1,2-Disubstituted trans-epoxides were found to be excellent, selective substrates for the cytosolic epoxide hydrolase, while 1,2-cis-epoxides were poorly hydrated when one or more substituents was a phenyl moiety. Epoxides of cyclic systems including benzo[alp...

Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence of microsomal fractions derived from liver and epiderm of adult and weanling rats was examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the capacity of two organs in transformation of BaP. Subcellular fractions were prepared from skin and liver by ultracentrifugation and were used as the source of BaP metabolizing enzy...
متن کاملRapid and sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the microsomal epoxide hydrolase.
A rapid and sensitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for microsomal epoxide hydrolase of rat liver. The assay, which is easily and readily performed, is significantly more sensitive than most enzymatic epoxide hydrolase assays routinely used and electroimmunoassays previously developed. The limit of sensitivity of the ELISA is between 2-5 ng of microsomal epoxi...
متن کاملMicrosomal and cytosolic epoxide hydrolases in rhesus monkey liver, and in normal and neoplastic human liver.
The cytosolic epoxide hydrolase (EH-LC) was observed in rhesus monkey liver cytosol, and in both normal and neoplastic human liver. Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EH-LM) was detected not only in the microsomes of normal and neoplastic human liver and normal rhesus monkey liver, but also in the cytosol of these tissues. No apparent differences were observed between the EH-LM in liver cytosol and ...
متن کاملEnhancement of Soluble Expression and Biochemical Characterization of Two Epoxide Hydrolases from Bacillus
Background: Enantiopure epoxides are important intermediates in the synthesis of high-value chiral chemicals. Epoxide hydrolases have been exploited in biocatalysis for kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides to produce enantiopure epoxides and vicinal diols. It is necessary to obtain sufficient stable epoxide hydrolases with high enantioselectivity to meet the requirements of i...
