The activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT, EC 2.4.1.17) in human foetal liver cells in culture was measured with two acceptor substrates, namely harmol and 1-naphthol. There was a dose-dependent increase of about 10-400% in UDPGT activity when the cells were exposed to 1-30 microM-HgCl2. Above a critical concentration of 30 microM-HgCl2, the heavy metal ion was toxic to the cells. Kine...

The aim of this work was to determine if a non-mammalian species had multiple UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) isoforms. At least six highly purified UDPGT isoenzymes were partially resolved by anion-exchange chromatography and UDP-hexanolamine-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography from liver microsomes of a fish, the plaice. Q-Sepharose FF, chromatofocusing and affinity-chromatographic proce...

In this study, androgen UDP-glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT) activity was determined in microsomes of human liver, skin, and prostate. Androgen UDPGT activity was highest in the liver microsomes using 5 alpha-androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol (3 alpha DIOL), androsterone (AN) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as substrates. The Km and Vmax values and enzyme velocity at the physiological concentration ...

Activation of microsomal UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UDPGT) activity by treatment of hepatic microsomes with either detergents or Fe(3+)/ascorbate pro-oxidant system has been reported; however, definite mechanisms underlying these effects have not been clarified. In this work, we characterize Fe(3+)/ascorbate-induced activation of UDPGT activity prior to solubilization with Triton X-100 and afte...

The effect of dietary ascorbate on hepatic UDP glucuronyltransferase (UDPGT) appears to be selective in that only certain isozymes of UDPGT are jeopardized. In this study, ascorbic acid deficiency produced a 68% reduction in the specific activity of hepatic UDPGT towards p-nitrophenol. Earlier studies showed a reduction in UDPGT activity towards p-aminophenol in ascorbate-deficient guinea pigs,...

Gunn rats lack UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) activity toward bilirubin. 4-Nitrophenol glucuronidation is mediated by several UDPGT isoforms that are distinct from bilirubin-UDPGT, one of which is induced after 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) administration in normal, but not in Gunn rats. In normal rats, 3-MC-inducible UDPGT mRNA concentration increased 15-fold in the liver and 3-fold in kidn...

UDP-glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT) activity was determined for androgens in tissue minces and microsomal fractions from the liver and extrahepatic tissues (kidney, skin, prostate, and preputial glands) of the male rat. Liver microsomes showed the highest UDPGT activity with each of the androgens tested (Vmax = 7, 3, and 10 nmol/minute/mg protein for testosterone, androsterone, and androstanedio...

Bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) activity in sealed hepatic microsomes from clofibrate-treated rats was highly latent and was fully expressed by disruption of vesicles with detergents. Antibodies raised against purified bilirubin UDPGT were used to study the transmembrane orientation of the protein to provide a molecular understanding of the UDPGT latency. Immunoblot analysis of se...

Cloned cDNAs coding for hepatic UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UDPGT) have been isolated from a rat liver cDNA library in the expression vector bacteriophage lambda gt11 using anti-UDPGT antibodies. Four different mRNAs have been identified by sequencing of 15 UDPGT cDNA clones. The sequences of the four classes of cDNA were determined to be 85-95% homologous. Restriction fragments were isolated fr...

The .\-|>lururonidut ¡onof three carcinogenic aromatic amines (4-aminobiphenyL, a-naphthylamine, and 0-naphthylamine) was investigated in hepatic microsomal preparations from two rat strains. In preparations from Wistar rats, individual variability was observed for the glucuronidation of the arylamines. This variability correlated with high and low levels of 3a-hydroxysteroid UDP-glucuronosylt...
