Spectrophotometric assay for mammalian cytosolic epoxide hydrolase using trans-stilbene oxide as the substrate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A continuous spectrophotometric assay based on the differences in the ultraviolet spectra of trans-stilbene oxide (TSO) and its reaction product 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediol is described for the measurement of mammalian cytosolic epoxide hydrolase activity. Rates of TSO hydration determined by this method were similar to those obtained by independent analytical methods, and the assay is rapid, reproducible and relatively free from interference.

Effect of dietary clofibrate on epoxide hydrolase activity in tissues of mice.
The effects of dietary clofibrate on the epoxide-metabolizing enzymes of mouse liver, kidney, lung and testis were evaluated using trans-stilbene oxide as a selective substrate for the cytosolic epoxide hydrolase, cis-stilbene oxide and benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide as substrates for the microsomal form, and cis-stilbene oxide as a substrate for glutathione S-transferase activity. The hydration of t...

-The optimization of assay conditions for glutathione S-transferase and epoxide hydrolase activities in the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni [Hiibner], Lepidoptera; Noctuidae) using trans and cis-stilbene oxides as substrates are reported. Glutathione S-transferase activity was predominantly cytosolic, and it was much greater in the fat body than the midgut. Differences in pH optima and rates of...
متن کاملEpoxide hydrolase activity in isolated peroxisomes of mouse liver.
Using trans-stilbene oxide as substrate, the subcellular distribution of epoxide hydrolase was investigated in livers from DBA/2 mice. The highest specific activities were found in cytosolic and light mitochondrial fractions. Isopycnic subfractionation of the light mitochondrial fraction showed that the organelle-bound trans-stilbene oxide hydrolase is localized in peroxisomes.

Affinity chromatographic methods were developed for the one-step purification to homogeneity of recombinant soluble epoxide hydrolases (sEHs) from cress and potato. The enzymes are monomeric, with masses of 36 and 39 kDa and pI values of 4.5 and 5.0, respectively. In spite of a large difference in sequence, the two plant enzymes have properties of inhibition and substrate selectivity which diff...
متن کاملDifferential 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...
