Structural characterization of a monoclonal antibody immunopurified pulmonary cytochrome P-450 from 3-methylcholanthrenetreated rats
Extrahepatic cytochromes P-450 have not been as extensively studied as the hepatic forms, owing to the low concentrations of these enzymes in extrahepatic tissues. A cytochrome P-450 was purified from lung microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)-treated rats by immunoaffinity chromatography using a monoclonal antibody to the major MC-inducible form of rat liver cytochrome P-450. The lung cytochrome P-450 is related to this liver form by at least two common epitopes, recognized by monoclonal antibodies 1-7-1 and 1-31-2. The isolated pulmonary cytochrome P-450 is MC-inducible and has an apparent molecular weight of 57 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The molecular weight as well as the NH/sub 2/-terminal sequence of the pulmonary cytochrome P-450 is identical to that of the major MC-inducible form of rat liver cytochrome P-450. In addition, limited proteolytic digestion of both cytochromes P-450 generates the same peptide patterns on SDS-PAGE. By several criteria, treatment of rats with MC thus induces a pulmonary cytochrome P-450 which is structurally identical to the MC-induced hepatic enzyme.
