A new P450 responsible for mutagenic activation of 3-methoxy-4-aminoazobenzene (3-MeO-AAB) which is a potent procarcinogen was purified from renal microsomes of male mice using an index of umu gene expression. The purified P450 had high bioactivation toward 3-MeO-AAB and also 2-aminofluorene and 2-aminoanthracene. The antibody against this P450 completely inhibited mutagenic activation of 3-MeO-AAB of mouse renal microsomes. With immunoblotting, this form was present abundantly in renal microsomes of male mice but not in those of female mice. This P450 was also present in pulmonary microsomes of male and female mice but not in hepatic microsomes. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence analysis indicated that this form belonged to the CYP4B subfamily. Thus, mouse kidney cDNA library was screened with rat CYP4B1 probe. The cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence of isolated cDNA consisted of 511 amino acids and bore 90, 86, and 84% similarities to rat, rabbit, and human CYP4B1, respectively. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified renal P450 and amino acid sequence of BrCN-digested peptides from the purified P450 agreed with the cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence. These results suggest that CYP4B1 is a major form in renal microsomes of male mice and plays a major role in mutagenic activation of 3-MeO-AAB. In extrahepatic tissue, CYP4B1 may contribute to chemical carcinogenesis.
