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.

[Electrochemical analysis of microsomal cytochromes].

The electrochemical behaviour of the electron transfer proteins -- cytochromes b5, c and P-450 was studied by classical polarography and electrolysis with spectrophotometric monitoring. It was shown electrons are directly transferred from the electrode to oxidized cytochromes c and b5. Cytochrome P-450 is not reduced on the electrodes. However, the reduced inactivated from of cytochrome P-420 was detected at high potential values (-1,5 v).

[Comparative study of effects of the tyrosine-copper(II) complex on xenobiotic hydroxylation and lipid peroxidation].

It has been found that NADPH-dependent hydroxylation of dimethylaniline, aniline, p- and o-nitroanisol and lipid peroxidation is inhibited by the tyrosine-copper (II) complex (low molecular weight analog of superoxide dismutase), which is indicative of a possibility of superoxide radicals formation in these reactions. The inhibition of the above-mentioned reactions with Tyr2-Cu2+ is less pronounced or absent, if cumole hydroperoxide is used as cosubstrate instead of NADPH. Differences in the Tyr2-Cu2+ complex effects on the cumule hydroperoxide-dependent xenobiotics hydroxylation and lipid peroxidation catalyzed by various forms of cytochrome P-450, e. g. microsomal, soluble and incorporated into liposomes, have been found. The data obtained suggest that the efficiency of the inhibitory effect of the Tyr2-Cu2+ complex depends on the type of cosubstrates (NADPH, cumole hydroperoxide) and substrates used as well as on the form of cytochrome P-450.

[Microsomal hemoprotein reduction by superoxide radical formed on NADPH-specific flavoprotein].

The superoxide radicals formed on NADPH-specific flavoprotein of liver microsomes can reduce cytochromes c, b5, and P-450. This reaction is inhibited under aerobic conditions by a low molecular weight analog of superoxide dismutase, e.g. the copper-tyrosine complex. The inhibitory effect of the complex is not observed under anaerobic conditions. Based on the results obtained a scheme of the electron transfer between the flavoprotein and haemoproteins involving superoxide radicals is proposed.
