Abstract
Mammalian cytochrome P4501 (CYP1) genes are well characterized, but in other vertebrates only the functions of CYP1A genes have been well studied.We determined the catalytic activity of zebrafish CYP1A, CYP1B1, CYP1C1, CYP1C2 and CYP1D1 proteins using 11 fluorometric substrates and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP).The resorufin-based substrates, 7-ethoxyresorufin, 7-methoxyresorufin, and 7-benzyloxyresorufin, were well metabolized by all CYP1s except CYP1D1. CYP1A metabolized nearly all substrates tested, although rates for non-resorufin substrates were typically lower than resorufin-based substrates.Zebrafish CYP1s did not metabolize 7-benzyloxyquinoline, 3-[2-(N,N-diethyl-N-methylamino)ethyl]-7-methoxy-4-methylcoumarin or 7-methoxy-4-(aminomethyl)-coumarin.CYP1B1 and CYP1C2 had the highest rates of BaP metabolism.3-hydroxy-BaP was a prominent metabolite for all but CYP1D1. CYP1A showed broad specificity and had the highest metabolic rates for nearly all substrates.CYP1C1 and CYP1C2 had similar substrate specificity.CYP1D1 had very low activities for all substrates except BaP, and a different regioselectivity for BaP, suggesting that CYP1D1 function may be different from other CYP1s.
