The content of cytochrome P-450, isozyme 6, in the rabbit pulmonary microsomal fraction was estimated by immunochemical methods to be 1 to 3% of the total cytochrome P-450. Following treatment of rabbits with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, the pulmonary microsomal concentration of isozyme 6 increased 16-fold. Isozyme 6 was also detected by immunochemical methods, but not by electrophoresis and staining for protein, in preparations of isozyme 5 isolated from the pulmonary microsomal fraction of untreated rabbits. The metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene in these preparations was found to be catalyzed by isozyme 6, not by isozyme 5 as previously concluded. Cytochrome P-450, isozyme 4, was not detected in the pulmonary microsomal fraction from untreated or 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-treated rabbits. Although benzo[a]pyrene and 7-ethoxyresorufin are both substrates for isozyme 6, the pulmonary microsomal metabolism of these compounds was not increased to the same extent by treatment of rabbits with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (about 13-fold for 7-ethoxyresorufin and less than 2-fold for BP). However, lack of agreement between increases in isozyme 6 content and activity, and between the relative increases of the activities with the two substrates, was overcome by the addition of purified NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase to the microsomal incubations. When alpha-naphthoflavone, at the minimum concentration required for greater than 90% inhibition of isozyme 6 catalysis, was present in the incubations, no increases in activity were obtained by the addition of purified reductase. The turnover numbers of isozyme 6 in microsomal preparations incubated with purified reductase were similar to those of the purified isozyme in a reconstituted monooxygenase system. The relevance of our results to determinations of the substrate specificities and the microsomal concentrations and activities of isozymes of cytochrome P-450 is discussed. In addition, these parameters are used to assess the extent to which the catalytic potential of isozyme 6 is expressed in the rabbit pulmonary microsomal fraction.
