Cytochrome P450s constitute a superfamily of hemoproteins that play important roles in oxidative metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds, and serve as catalysts that are significant in numerous and diverse biological pathways. The extent to which these various pathways or functions occur in different animal groups depend on a large degree on the participation of different P450 proteins present, their catalytic function and their regulation. Cytochrome P4502B subfamily is generally associated with detoxifying metabolism of xenobiotics in experimental animal species and also metabolizes hormones, testosterone and androstedione and several important pharmaceutical agents. The important role of cytochrome P4502B subfamily has been recognized by many biochemists, pharmacologists and toxicologist and has been studied in many different mammalian species. There could be a large number of homologous genes in fish. inIn this study, basic cytochrome P450 that cross-reacted with antibody produced against cytochrome P4502B4 homologue, eluted from the first DEAE- cellulose column was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by using first and second anion exchange chromatography, and three successive hydroxylapatite column chromatographies. Purified cytochrome P450 was characterized with respect to spectral, electrophoretic, immunochemical and biocatalytic properties. Purified cytochrome P450 gave a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis having monomer molecular weight of 49300 Da. Absolute absorption spectrum of the purified cytochrome P450 showed maximum at 417 ran and CO-difference spectrum of dithionite-reduced cytochrome P450 gave a peak at 450 nm. Purified cytochrome P450 was found to be active in the N- demethylation of benzphetamine, cocaine, erythromycin and ethylmorphine and O-depenthylation of pentoxyresorufin in the reconstituted systems containing purified cytochrome P450 reductase from leaping mullet and synthetic lipid. However, it was unable to catalyze the oxidation of the other monoxygenase substrates such as aniline, lauric acid, 7-ethoxyresorufin, 7-methoxyresorufin and 7-benzyloxyresorufin. Benzphetamine N-demethylase activity was inhibited with proadifen, a cytochrome P4502B inhibitor in reconstituted system. In addition, purified cytochrome P450 showed strong cross-reactivity with the antibody produced against sheep lung cytochrome P4502B4 homologue. The results obtained after accomplishing above studies, strongly suggested that cytochrome P450 purified from leaping mullet is a cytochrome P4502B-type protein. In this study, for the first time, a member of cytochrome P4502B subfamily was purified and characterized in fish species.

Cytochrome P4501A1 genotypes and smoking- and hypertension-related ischemic stroke risk
Demirdöğen, B. Can; Adali, A.Ç.; Bek, S.; Demirkaya, Ş.; Adalı, Orhan (SAGE Publications, 2012-10-30)
This study aimed to determine whether the coding (A4889G) and noncoding region (T6235C) polymorphisms of the gene coding for cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1), a xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme responsible for the metabolism of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are involved in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke in Turkish population. Study group consisted of 226 ischemic stroke patients and 113 controls. Genotypes were attained by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for A4889G and PCR/res...
Differential expressions and functions of phosphodiesterase enzymes in different regions of the rat heart
DERİCİ, MEHMET KÜRŞAT; SADİ, GÖKHAN; Cenik, Basar; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; DEMİREL YILMAZ, EMİNE (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-05)
Phosphodiesterase enzymes (PDEs) are responsible for the adjustment of cyclic nucleotide levels. Alterations in PDE expressions in different tissues cause conflicts between functional and clinical effects of PDE inhibitors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the gene and protein expressions and the functional role of PDEs in atrium and ventricle of rat heart The expressions of PDEs were examined in cardiac intact tissues and enzymatically isolated cells. The effects of PDE1-5 inhibitors (vi...
RanBPM (RanBP9) regulates mouse c-Kit receptor level and is essential for normal development of bone marrow progenitor cells.
Puverel, S; Kiriş, Erkan; Singh, S; Klarmann, KD; Coppola, V; Keller, JR; Tessarollo, L (Impact Journals, LLC, 2016-12-20)
c-Kit is a tyrosine kinase receptor important for gametogenesis, hematopoiesis, melanogenesis and mast cell biology. Dysregulation of c-Kit function is oncogenic and its expression in the stem cell niche of a number of tissues has underlined its relevance for regenerative medicine and hematopoietic stem cell biology. Yet, very little is known about the mechanisms that control c-Kit protein levels. Here we show that the RanBPM/RanBP9 scaffold protein binds to c-Kit and is necessary for normal c-Kit protein e...
MicroRNAs show a wide diversity of expression profiles in the developing and mature central nervous system
Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (2008-10-01)
Since the discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) in Caenorhabditis elegans, mounting evidence illustrates the important regulatory roles for miRNAs in various developmental, differentiation, cell proliferation, and apoptosis pathways of diverse organisms. We are just beginning to elucidate novel aspects of RNA mediated gene regulation and to understand how heavily various molecular pathways rely on miRNAs for their normal function. miRNAs are small non-protein-coding transcripts that regulate gene expression post-...
Abiotic stress tolerance and growth responses of transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) plants expressing rice Osmyb4 gene
AYDIN, GÜLSÜM; Yucel, Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2012-09-23)
MYB transcription factors are involved in diverse biochemical and physiological processes such as regulation of secondary metabolism, meristem formation, cell morphogenesis and floral and seed development. They are also involved in certain defence and stress responses and in hormone signalling. In the present study, we developed transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) expressing Oryza sativa myb4 gene, encoding MYB4 transcription factor, driven by either CaMV35S constitutive promoter or cold i...
