Abstract

At least four hepatic isoenzymes of cytochrome P-450 were purified and characterized from rats treated with 3-methylcholanthrene. A monoclonal antibody developed against one of the forms (designated cytochrome P-450 MC-B) and polyclonal antibodies against others were used to demonstrate that form MC-B is immunologically distinct from other methylcholanthrene-inducible forms. Limited N-terminal amino acid sequencing showed that cytochrome P-450 MC-B has a primary structure that differs from the N-terminal sequences of other established rat isoenzymes. Cytochrome P-450 MC-B has a minimum Mr of 53,000, a CO-reduced spectral maximum at 448 nm, a Soret maximum of 417 nm in the absolute oxidized spectrum and a pattern of substrate preferences that differs from those of the other methylcholanthrene-induced forms. The other forms (MC-A, MC-C and MC-D) share characteristics with isoenzymes previously reported by other investigators.
