Induction
• Increased transcription• Increased protein synthesis• Enhanced stability of protein• Synthesis of enzyme with higher catalytic
activityInducible forms of CYP: CYP1A1 (PAH), CYP2B, CYP3A4 (PB), CYP2E1 (EtOH)
Constitutive: CYP2Ahttp://medicine.iupui.edu/flockhart/table.htm
Example:Ah-locus mediated induction
AhR, receptor in cytoplasm, binds ligand: eg PAHs, TCDD, some PCBs
Bound AhR loses 2 heat-shock proteins (hsp90), becomes phosphorylated
Activated bound AhR migrates to nucleus, forms complex with Ah receptor nuclear translocation factor Arnt
AhR-Arnt complex binds to regulatory sequences in DNA (DRE, dioxin-responsive elements)
Transcription of CYP1A1 gene and other genes
Other “inducers” also interact with receptors
• CAR, responds to phenobarbital-type inducers, regulates CYP2B, CYP3A4, CYP reductase, transferases (?)
• PXR, CYP3A• PPARα, CYP4A• LXR, FXR control enzymes involved in
bile acid and lipid metabolism
Phase II: Conjugation
• Synthetic reaction of a xenobiotic (or of a Phase I metabolite of a xenobiotic) with an endogenous substance
• Results in introduction of polar, ionizable groups to enhance water solubility and hence excretion
Major Phase II reactions
• Glucuronidation• Sulfation• Conjugation with amino acids• Conjugation with glutathione• Methylation• Acetylation
Glucuronidation• Enzyme: glucuronyl transferase, or
glucuronosyl transferase• Targets:
– hydroxyl groups: Phenols, Alcohols, Dihydrodiols (ether glucuronides)
– Carboxylic acids (ester glucuronides)– Amines (N-glucuronides)– Thiols (S-glucuronides)– Carbon (C-glucuronides, rare)
