Application of electron‐donor properties of glucose oxidase and xanthine oxidase for reduction of microsomal NAD(P)H‐dependent electron‐transport chains

The reduction of cytochromes b5 and P‐450 in mammalian hepatic microsomes by glucose oxidase and xanthine oxidase has been investigated. Under anaerobic conditions cytochrome b5 is reduced by glucose oxidase to the “dithionite” level, while cytochrome P‐450 remains oxidized. Under the same conditions xanthine oxidase completely reduces both hemoproteins. Besides, neither glucose oxidase nor xanthine oxidase reduces isolated cytochromes. They can be reduced only after addition of microsomes to incubation media. Only in this case are the cytochromes, both isolated and included in microsomal membranes, reduced. The participation of microsomal flavoproteins in the reduction reaction is discussed. The method suggested makes it possible to substantially decrease the rates of reduction of microsomal hemoproteins, thus permitting the investigation of interactions between microsomal NADH‐ and NADPH‐dependent electron‐transport chains and electron carriers.
