Cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 2E1, the alcohol-inducible form of CYP,
metabolizes a wide variety of endogenous substrates, therapeutic agents, protoxicants, and procarcinogens. CYP2E1 levels are
post-transcriptionally elevated in response to certain xenobiotic
inducers (e.g., pyridine), and proposed mechanisms include increased
translational efficiency and protection of the enzyme from
ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. Molecular modeling of a predicted
cytosolic domain of CYP2E1 resulted in identification of a putative
ubiquitination-target/substrate-interaction structure (residues
317-340). An affinity-purified antibody reactive to this domain
quenched CYP2E1 ubiquitination in a concentration-dependent manner in a
rabbit reticulocyte lysate-based ubiquitination assay. The same
antibody also inhibited rat liver microsomal chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylase activity, a marker of CYP2E1 catalytic activity, in an
equivalent concentration-dependent manner. These two observations suggest an association between the CYP2E1 cytosolic domain involved in
catalysis and its serving as a target for ubiquitination. Thus, these
results provide a plausible mechanistic explanation for the observation
that substrate binding shields the CYP2E1 protein from turnover by the
ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent machinery.
