The membrane-embedded segment of cytochrome b5 as studied by cross-linking with photoactivatable phospholipids.

چکیده
Vesicles were prepared from a 9:1 (mole/mol) mixture of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine and the radioactively labeled phospholipids, 1-palmitoyl-2-omega-(m-diazirinophenoxy)undecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC-I) or 1-palmitoyl-2-omega-(2-diazo-3,3,3-trifluropropionyloxy)lauroyl-sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC-II). Rabbit liver cytochrome b5 was inserted into these vesicles spontaneously and the resulting vesicles containing the cytochrome b5 in the transferable form were photolyzed. Cytochrome b5 containing covalently cross-linked phospholipids was isolated by Sephadex LH-60 column chromatography using ethanol/formic acid as the solvent. Of the total radioactivity, 4.6% (PC-I) or 11.3% (PC-II) was linked to the protein; of the former, up to 51% was base-labile, while in the latter, 22% was base-labile. The sites of cross-linking of PC-I to the protein were investigated by fragmentation with trypsin, Staphylococcus aureas V8 protease, CNBr, and o-iodosobenzoic acid followed by Sephadex LH-60 chromatography and Edman sequencing (solid phase) of the appropriate fragments. The distribution of cross-linking was broad (Ser-104 to Met-130), showing a bell-shaped pattern with a significant peak at Ser-118. The labeling pattern is consistent with the previously proposed loop-back model for the membranous segment in the transferable form of cytochrome b5.

An expression vector for NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase containing a thrombin cleavage site directly before the N-terminal glycine residue of the flavoprotein was used to isolate the non-myristoylated enzyme by thrombin cleavage of the initial fusion protein of a short segment of the multiple cloning site of the plasmid vector and the reductase. This flavoprotein preparation, containing only the ...
متن کاملThe binding of cytochrome b 5 to liver microsomes.
The 40-44 hydrophobic peptide segment, present in cytochrome bS obtained by nonhydrolytic means, but absent from lipase or trypsin-extracted cytochrome bg, has been found to be required for the binding of a loto 20-fold molar excess of cytochrome bs to liver microsomes. At saturation, the bound cytochrome bs constitutes nearly 20% of the total protein of the vesicle preparations. This extra bou...

OBJECTIVES The mammalian mixed function oxidase (MFO) system participates in hydroxylation of many hydrophobic endogenous compounds as well as xenobiotics such as drugs and carcinogens. This biotransformation system, located in a membrane of endoplasmic reticulum, consists of cytochrome P-450 (P450), NADPH:P450 oxidoreductase and a facultative component, cytochrome b5. The knowledge of the inte...

In this work, we measured the effect of cytochrome c on the NADH-dependent superoxide anion production by synaptic plasma membrane vesicles from rat brain. In these membranes, the cytochrome c stimulated NADH-dependent superoxide anion production was inhibited by antibodies against cytochrome b5 reductase linking the production to this enzyme. Measurement of the superoxide anion radical generat...

The transverse distribution of enzyme proteins and phospholipids within microsomal membranes was studied by analyzing membrane composition after treatment with proteases and phospholipases. Upon trypsin treatment of closed microsomal vesicles, NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductases as well as cytochrome b5 were solubilized or inactivated, while cytochrome P-450 was partially inactivated. When ...
