Stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase (SCD) is a key regulator of membrane fluidity, turns over rapidly, and represents a prototype for selective degradation of resident proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum. Using detergent-solubilized, desaturase-induced rat liver microsomes we have characterized a protease that degrades SCD. Degradation of SCD in vitro is highly selective, has a half-life of 3–4 h, and generates a 20-kDa C-terminal fragment of SCD. The N terminus of the 20-kDa fragment was identified as Phe177. The cleavage site occurs in a conserved 12-residue hydrophobic segment of SCD flanked by clusters of basic residues. The SCD protease remains associated with microsomal membranes after peripheral and lumenal proteins have been selectively removed. SCD protease is present in normal rat liver microsomes and cleaves purified SCD. We conclude that rapid turnover of SCD involves a constitutive microsomal protease with properties of an integral membrane protein.

Camptothecin Analogues

Background: E2 (Camptothecin - 20 (S) - O- glycine - deoxycholic acid), and G2 (Camptothecin - 20 (S) - O - acetate - deoxycholic acid) are two novel bile acid-derived camptothecin analogues by introducing deoxycholic acid in 20-position of CPT(camptothecin) with greater anticancer activity and lower systematic toxicity in vivo. Objective: We aimed to investigate the metabolism of E2 and G2 by Rat Liver Microsomes (RLM). Methods: Phase Ⅰ and Phase Ⅱ metabolism of E2 and G2 in rat liver microsomes were performed respectively, and the mixed incubation of phase I and phase Ⅱ metabolism of E2 and G2 was also processed. Metabolites were identified by liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometry. Results: The results showed that phase I metabolism was the major biotransformation route for both E2 and G2. The isoenzyme involved in their metabolism had some difference. The intrinsic clearance of G2 was 174.7mL/min. mg protein, more than three times of that of E2 (51.3 mL/min . mg protein), indicating a greater metabolism stability of E2. 10 metabolites of E2 and 14 metabolites of G2 were detected, including phase I metabolites (mainly via hydroxylations and hydrolysis) and their further glucuronidation products. Conclusion: These findings suggested that E2 and G2 have similar biotransformation pathways except some difference in the hydrolysis ability of the ester bond and amino bond from the parent compounds, which may result in the diversity of their metabolism stability and responsible CYPs(Cytochrome P450 proteins).
