Position-specific oxygenation of benzo(a)pyrene by different forms of purified cytochrome P-450 from rabbit liver.

High-pressure liquid chromatography was used to detect oxygenated products of benzo[a]pyrene formed in a reconstituted microsomal mixed-function oxidase system containing cytochrome P-450 (P-450LM), phospholipid, and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase (NADPH: ferricytochrome oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.2.4). Three cytochrome fractions purified from a single source, hepatic microsomes from phenobarbital-treated rabbits, were studied; the various forms of the cytochrome are designated by their relative electrophoretic mobilities. The total benzo[a]pyrene oxygenation rate was greatest for P-450LM1,7, intermediate for P-450LM2, and least for P-450LM4. The phenolic products were eluted in two peaks, A and B, that contained primarily 9-hydroxy- and 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene, respectively. The ratio of peak A to peak B phenols was 0.11 for P-450LM2 and 0.45 for P-450LM4. Thus, the relative amounts of the various phenols formed by these two cytochrome fractions differ markedly. The positional specificity of the hydroxylation is also indicated by large differences in the fluorescence spectra of the phenolic products formed by the two cytochromes. P-450LM2 and P-450LM4 did not form benzo[a]pyrene dihydrodiols, thereby showing that benzo[a]pyrene oxide hydratase activity was absent from these purified preparations. Ninety percent of the phenols formed by P-450LM1,7 were eluted in peak B; the metabolites produced by this preparation also included dihydrodiols, thus indicating the presence of hydratase activity. The positional specificities of different forms of cytochrome P-450 may channel polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolism into the various activation and detoxification pathways and thereby help determine the cytotoxic and carcinogenic activity of these compounds.
