Abstract: NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase has been purified to apparent homogeneity from liver microsomes of beta-naphthoflavone-treated rats and rainbow trout. The apparent monomeric molecular weights were 75,000 and 77,000 for the rat and trout, respectively. Differences in amino acid composition were observed, particularly for lysine, glycine, threonine, and tyrosine. Analysis of the flavin composition showed that there were 0.97 mol of FAD and 0.92 mol of FMN per mol of rat reductase, whereas the values for the trout enzyme were 1.06 and 0.76 for FAD and FMN, respectively. Trout NADPH-cytochrome c reductase was inhibited by anti-rat antibody, but not to the same extent as was the rat enzyme. No precipitin lines between the trout reductase and rat antibody were observed on Ouchterlony plates. Peptide patterns, on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, following limited proteolysis were also markedly different. The trout enzyme was as effective, catalytically, as the rat enzyme in a reconstituted system that contained purified rat cytochrome P-448 and lipid. Comparison of ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase temperature profiles with various combinations of purified trout and rat P-448, reductase, and lipid, in membranous and nonmembranous reconstitution systems, demonstrated that the lower temperature optimum in trout microsomes could only be reproduced when all three trout components were incorporated into liposomes. These results suggest that it is the structural organization of the mixed-function oxidase enzymes and lipid within trout microsomes which were responsible for the lower temperature optimum compared to rat.
