Cholesterol side-chain cleavage (CSCC) in isolated rat adrenal mitochondria is enhanced by prior corticotropin (ACTH) stimulationin vivo(8-fold). Part of this stimulation is retainedin vitroby addition of cytosol from ACTH-stimulated adrenals to mitochondria from unstimulated rats (2.5- to 6-fold).In vivocycloheximide (CX) treatment fully inhibits thein vivoresponse and resolves thein vitrocytosolic stimulation into components: (i) ACTH-sensitive, CX-sensitive; (ii) ACTH-sensitive, CX-insensitive; and (iii) ACTH-insensitive, CX-insensitive. These components contribute approximately equally to stimulation by ACTH cytosol. Components (i) and (iii) most probably correspond to previously identified cytosolic constituents Steroidogenesis activator peptide and sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2). SCP2, as assayed by radioimmunoassay or ability to stimulate 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, was not elevated in adrenal cytosol or other subcellular fractions by ACTH treatment. Complete removal of SCP2from cytosol by treatment with anti-SCP2IgG decreased cytosolic stimulatory activity by an increment that was independent of ACTH or CX treatment. Addition of an amount of SCP2, equivalent to that present in cytosol, restored activity to SCP2-depleted cytosol but had no effect alone or when added with intact cytosol, suggesting the presence of a factor in cytosol that potentiates SCP2action. Pure hepatic SCP2stimulated CX mitochondrial CSCC 1.5- to 2-fold (EC500.7 μm) but was five times less potent than SCP2in adrenal cytosol. Two pools of reactive cholesterol were distinguished in these preparations characterized, respectively, by succinate-supported activity and by additional isocitrate-supported activity. ACTH cytosol and SCP2each stimulated cholesterol availability to a fraction of mitochondrial P450sccthat was reduced by succinate but failed to stimulate availability to additional P450sccreduced only by isocitrate.
