Alterations of cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activities in Eriocheir japonicus in response to water pollution.
Eriocheir japonicus, fresh-water crabs inhabiting rivers and estuaries in Japan, were investigated for cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent drug-metabolizing enzyme activities to see if these activities reflect the river pollution gradient. From the laboratory dose-response experiments, we found that the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) 3-methylcholanthrene induced total CYP contents, ethoxycou...
متن کاملCytochrome P450 Monooxygenase-Mediated Resistance to Insecticides
Insecticide resistance is one of the major obstacles to the control of agriculturally important arthropod pests. Resistance results in increased application frequencies, increased dosages, decreased yields, environmental damage, and outbreaks of human and animal diseases when vectors cannot be controlled. The World Health Organization has called insecticide resistance "the biggest single obstac...
متن کاملCytochrome P450 monooxygenase system in echinoderms.
The results of a limited number of studies on echinoderms provide evidence for the presence of a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system in representatives of three classes of the phylum Echinodermata: the asteroids (sea stars), holothuroids (sea cucumbers) and echinoids (sea urchins). The monooxygenase system has been demonstrated to be involved in the metabolism of xenobiotic compounds, but is a...
متن کاملBiosynthesis, Encodes a Putative Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase
Phytoalexins are low molecular weight antimicrobial compounds that are synthesized in response to pathogen attack. The phytoalexin camalexin, an indole derivative, is produced by Arabidopsis in response to infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. The phytoalexin deficient 3 ( pad3 ) mutation, which causes a defect in camalexin production, has no effect on resistance to P. syr...
متن کاملProduct autofluorescence activation in the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system.
The relative increase of the 7-ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase and the 6,7-dimethoxycoumarin-O-demethylase activities were found 93 and 236% using a reconstituted cytochrome P4502B1:NADPH-P450 reductase system by adding to the reaction mixtures their own products. The assays were irradiated during the reactions with the excitation wavelength maximum of their products umbelliferone (lambda E = 365 n...
