The 7,8-epoxidation of benzo[a]pyrene, and the 9,10-epoxidation of benzo[a]-pyrene trans-7,8-dihydrodiol coupled with covalent binding of the highly reactive diol-epoxide, are two key P-450-mediated reactions believed to be important in cancer initiation, mutagenesis and teratogenesis. New assays for these two reactions were developed with mouse liver microsomes. These two activities have apparent Km values (approximately 6 microM) similar to that of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity. Twenty-six individual 3-methylcholanthrene-treated Ahb/Ahd and Ahd/Ahd progeny of the (C57BL/6N)(DBA/2N) F1 X DBA/2N backcross were studied. Both of the newly described activities appear to represent P-450 protein(s) that are responsible for aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity and that are coordinately controlled by the Ahb allele.
