Rabbit CYP4B1 engineered for high-level expression in Escherichia coli: ligand stabilization and processing of the N-terminus and heme prosthetic group

Modifications at the N-terminus of the rabbit CYP4B1 gene resulted in expression levels in Escherichia coli of up to 660 nmol/L. Solubilization of the enzyme from bacterial membranes led to substantial conversion to cytochrome P420 unless alpha-naphthoflavone was added as a stabilizing ligand. Mass spectrometry analysis and Edman sequencing of purified enzyme preparations revealed differential N-terminal post-translational processing of the various constructs expressed. Notably, bacterial expression of CYP4B1 produced a holoenzyme with >98.5% of its heme prosthetic group covalently linked to the protein backbone. The near fully covalently linked hernoproteins exhibited similar rates and regioselectivities of lauric acid hydroxylation to that observed previously for the partially heme processed enzyme expressed in insect cells. These studies shed new light on the consequences of covalent heme processing in CYP4B1 and provide a facile system for future mechanistic and structural studies with the enzyme.

Influence of growth hormone on the mandibular condylar cartilage of rats

Growth hormone (GH) stimulates mandibular growth but its effect on the mandibular condylar cartilage is not well. understood. Objective: This study was designed to understand the influence of GH on mitotic activity and on chondrocytes maturation. The effect of GH on cartilage thickness was also determined. Design: An animal model witt differences in GH status was determined by comparing mutant Lewis dwarf rats with reduced pituitary GH synthesis (dwarf), with normal rats and dwarf animals treated with GH. Six dwarf rats were injected with GH for 6 days, while other six normal rats and six dwarf rats composed other two groups. Mandibular condylar tissues were processed and stained for Herovici's stain and immunohistochemistry, for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Measurements of cartilage thickness as well as the numbers of immunopositive cells for each antibody were analysed by one-way analysis of variance. Results: Cartilage thickness was significantly reduced in the dwarf animals treated with GH. PCNA expression was significant lower in the dwarf rats, but significantly increased when these animals were treated with GH. ALP expression was significant higher in the dwarf animals, while it was significantly reduced in the dwarf animals treated with GH. Conclusions: The results from this study showed that GH stimulates mitotic activity and delays cartilage cells maturation in the mandibular condyte. This effect at the cellular Level may produce changes in the cartilage thickness. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
