35. Induction Increased transcription Increased protein synthesis Enhanced stability of protein Synthesis of enzyme with higher catalytic activity Inducible forms of CYP: CYP1A1 (PAH), CYP2B, CYP3A4 (PB), CYP2E1 (EtOH) Constitutive: CYP2A http://medicine.iupui.edu/flockhart/table.htm

36. 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

37. 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
