Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to analyze the effect of dietary cyclopropenoid fatty acids on hepatic microsomal polypeptide distribution patterns. Antibodies against rainbow trout type-LM2 cytochrome P-450 were employed to localize the corresponding polypeptide(s) by immunochemical staining. The LM2 antigen was purified from trout that had been fed β-naphthoflavone. Microsomes from trout fed β-naphthoflavone showed a decrease in a cytochrome P-450 polypeptide, detected with antibody against LM2. In contrast, microsomes from control fish contained two distinct cytochrome P-450 polypeptides, differing in their isoelectric points. Cyclopropenoid fatty acid treatment caused a preferential decrease in the additional isozyme seen in control samples. The distribution of concanavalin-A-binding glycopolypeptides was also assessed. Surprisingly, the two P-450 isozymes localized from control microsomes were found to bind concanavalin A. In addition to this, the cyclopropenoid fatty acid treatment generated a shift in a closely related group of microsomal glycopolypeptides, labelled gp80, gp82, gp801, and gp821. A decrease in the levels of gp80 and gp82 and a corresponding increase in gp801 and gp821 was observed.
