Protein-protein interactions between cytochrome P450 (P450) and other drug-
metabolizing enzymes were studied by affinity chromatography using CYP1A1-,
glycine-, and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-conjugated Sepharose 4B columns.
Sodium cholate-solubilized microsomes from phenobarbital-treated rat liver
were applied to the columns and the material eluted with buffer containing
NaCl was analyzed by immunoblotting. Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) and
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), as well as NADPH-P450 reductase, were
efficiently trapped by the CYP1A1 column. Glycine and BSA columns exhibite
d no ability to retain these proteins. Protein disulfide isomerase and caln
exin, non-drug-metabolizing enzymes expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum,
were unable to associate with the CYP1A1 column. These results suggest tha
t CYP1A1 interacts with mEH and UGT to facilitate a series of multistep dru
