Interaction of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P- 450 reductase in the presence and absence of lipid

D Muller-Enoch, P Churchill, S Fleischer and FP Guengerich

Phospholipid has been reported to be necessary for optimal catalytic activity of a number of mammalian cytochrome P-450 (P-450) systems. We also confirm that a number of individual phospholipids and mixtures, used as soluble monomers or phospholipid vesicles, show activation of 7- ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity by an enzyme system composed of rat liver microsomal P-450PB-B and NADPH-P-450 reductase. However, by preincubating a mixture of P-450 and NADPH-P-450 reductase at high concentrations, optimal activity can be obtained in the absence of phospholipid. The catalytic activity of the complex formed is concentration dependent in the absence of lipid or in the presence of soluble lipid. The activity in phospholipid vesicles is optimal and concentration independent. The apparent Km for NADPH-P-450 reductase in P-450-dependent oxidation systems is lowered severalfold in the presence of phospholipid. The apparent Km for the P-450 substrate, 7- ethoxycoumarin, and the temperature dependence of 7-ethoxycoumarin O- deethylase activity were unaffected by the addition of phospholipid to a preformed complex of P-450PB-B and NADPH-P-450 reductase. The effect of lipid on a number of other P-450 isozymes was also examined and in no case did lipid enhance the catalytic activity of the preformed complex. These results lead to the conclusion that the major effect of phospholipids in P-450-based enzyme systems is the facilitation of an active P-450:NADPH-P-450 reductase complex. This is the first report that maximum P-450 supported monooxygenase activity can be obtained in the absence of phospholipid.
