The quaternary structure of rat liver cytochrome P-450 within microsomal membranes from 3-methyl-cholanthrene-treated rats was examined by a novel chemical cross-linking-monoclonal antibody approach. Complex formation among the different forms of P-450 was probed by cross-linking of membrane proteins followed by immunopurification with a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to P-450c, the major 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible form. Subsequent immunoblot analysis of the immunopurified proteins with this mAb indicated that P-450c formed complexes with other microsomal proteins. Immunoblots with mAbs to different P-450s were carried out to identify the P-450s that were cross-linked to P-450c. This approach detected specific cross-linking of P-450c to P-450 2a. Immunoinhibition experiments suggest that P-450 2a further metabolizes the primary phenols produced by P-450c-catalyzed hydroxylation of benzo[a]pyrene. Complex formation among membrane-bound enzymes has implications for their catalytic efficiency and an approach combining cross-linking and monoclonal antibody-based characterization of cross-linked proteins will be useful for elucidating such membrane protein macrostructures.
