چکیده

The topology of the steroid hydroxylase complexes in bovine adrenocortical mitochondria was studied by using nonpenetrating artificial electron acceptors and the impermeable protein reagent diazobenzenesulfonate. Inhibition of steroid hydroxylase activity by ferricyanide and dichlorophenolindophenol sulfonate was only observed in mitochondria which had been damaged by various techniques. Intact mitochondria were not inhibited by these reagents. The reaction was monitored by oxygen uptake due to hydroxylation of deoxycorticosterone, as well as P-450 reduction and corticosterone formation. The results obtained were similar regardless of how the activity was measured. Labeling of the mitochondria with the nonpenetrating protein reagent diazobenzenesulfonate also inhibited P-450 reduction and corticosterone formation in mitochondria which had been damaged prior to addition of this reagent. Intact mitochondria which were labeled with this reagent showed very little inhibition of both activities. These results strongly suggest that all protein components of the steroid 11beta-hydroxylase system are located on the matrix side of the mitochondrial inner membrane. The inability of ferricyanide, dichlorophenolindophenol sulfonate, and diazobenzenesulfonate to inhibit the malate-dependent reduction of P-450 in intact mitochondria implies that all the P-450-dependent mitochondrial steroid hydroxylase systems are located on the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Topological Studies of Cytochromes P-450,,, and P-45011p in Bovine Adrenocortical Inner Mitochondrial Membranes

The topology of the steroid hydroxylase complexes in bovine adrenocortical mitochondria were studied by using controlled digestion with trypsin of purified inner mitochondrial membranes. Inhibition of steroid hydroxylase activity by trypsin was only observed in inner mitochondrial membranes which had been disrupted by various techniques. The steroid hydroxylase activity of intact inner membrane...

Molecular cloning and amino acid sequence of the precursor form of bovine adrenodoxin: evidence for a previously unidentified COOH-terminal peptide.

Several recombinant cDNA clones specific for the mitochondrial iron-sulfur protein adrenodoxin have been identified in a bovine adrenocortical cDNA library. One clone (pBAdx4) contains a 900-base-pair insert that includes the entire amino acid coding region of the adrenodoxin precursor protein. The amino acid sequence of mature adrenodoxin deduced from the nucleotide sequence of pBAdx4 is ident...

Cytochrome P-450 from Bovine Adrenocortical Mitochondria: an Enzyme for the Side Chain Cleavage of Cholesterol

One cytochrome P-450 has been purified from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria to near homogeneity. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of cholesterol and 20~ hydroxycholesterol to pregnenolone (side chain cleavage) and shows traces of 11/3-hydroxylase activity. The conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone occurs without demonstrable accumulation of biosynthetic intermediates, i.e. hydroxylate...

Inhibition of CYP17 expression by adrenal androgens and transforming growth factor beta in adrenocortical cells.

Cytochrome P450c17, encoded by the CYP17 gene, is a component of the 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase enzyme complex essential for production of adrenal glucocorticoids and androgens as well as gonadal androgens. The expression of CYP17 in adrenocortical cells is stimulated by corticotropin (ACTH) via the signal transduction pathway involving cAMP and protein kinase A (PKA). Thus, in addition to...
