The effects of cytochrome b5 with manganese-protoporphyrin IX substituted for heme were compared with those of native cytochrome b5 and the apoenzyme on the oxygenation of substrates in the reconstituted system containing liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P- 450 reductase, and phosphatidylcholine. Mn-b5, unlike b5, remains essentially fully oxidized in the presence of NADPH and NADPH- cytochrome P-450 reductase under aerobic conditions. The effects of various concentrations of b5 and its derivatives were determined at constant P-450 and reductase concentrations. Cytochrome b5 inhibits benzphetamine demethylation by isozyme 2, the effect increasing up to the highest concentrations tested, and stimulates 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylation by isozyme 2 and acetanilide p-hydroxylation by isozyme 4, the optimal b5:P-450 molar ratio being about 2. In contrast, Mn-b5 inhibits all three reactions and apo-b5 is either inactive or slightly inhibitory. The activities of the three substrates as well as testosterone were determined with P-450 isozymes 2, 3b, 3c, and 4 in the reconstituted system with no additions or with b5 or Mn-b5 present. Cytochrome b5 is stimulatory, inhibitory, or without any effect, the result depending on both the substrate and P-450 isozyme present, whereas Mn-b5 is inhibitory in most instances. Both b5 and its manganese derivative alter the rates of testosterone 6 beta- or 16 alpha-hydroxylation by most of the P-450 cytochromes. The activities are influenced by the molar ratio of reductase to P-450. The Km values of benzphetamine, ethoxycoumarin, and acetanilide are, with one exception, significantly decreased in the presence of b5 or Mn-b5. We conclude that some of the effects of b5 on the oxygenase system are not accounted for by its role as an electron donor to cytochrome P-450.
