Rat kidney microsomal UDP-glucuronyltransferase activities toward phenoic xenobiotics were enhanced about 4-5 fold by treatment of the animal with .beta.-naphthoflavone. The transferase activity toward serotonin, an endogenous substrate, was also enhanced about 7.5-fold. A form of UDP-glucuronyltransferase was purified from kidney microsomes of .beta.-naphthoflavone-treated rat by solubilization with sodium cholate and two steps of column chromatography, the first with DEAE-Toyopearl (fast flow rate liquid chromatography: FFLC) and the second with UDP-hexanolamine Sepharose 4B (affinity chromatography). These procedures gave about 39-fold purification and 11.5% yield of the transferase activity toward 1-naphthol. The preparation, tentatively termed "GT-2", was highly purified as judges from the single protein band (Mr 54,000) on sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis. It catalyzed the glucuronidation of not only phenolic xenobiotics such as 1-naphthol, 4-nitrophenol, and 4-methylumbelliferone but also serotonin. From the result that apparent molecular weight of GT-2 was reduced to 50,000 by endo-.beta.-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H)-treatment, GT-2 was found to be a 50,000 Da polypeptide carrying "high mannose" type oligosaccharide chain(s). The NH2-terminal sequence of 20 residues of GT-2 was determined to be Asp-Lys-Leu-Leu-Val-Val-Pro-Gln-Asp-Gly-Ser-His-Trp-Leu-Ser-Met-Lys-Glu-Ile-Val. It was observed that there are two amino acids substitutions in the seven NH2-terminal residues in comparison with GT-1, which was purified from liver microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rat. The NH2-terminal sequence of GT-2 was found to be homologous with the NH2-terminal sequence from the 26th to 46th amino acid residue of various UDP-glucuronyltransferase cloned by other investigators. The notion that the NH2-terminal region to the 25th amino acid residue of newly synthesized transferase contains the signal peptide was thus confirmed by this study.
