Corticosteroid side chain isomerase of mouse liver cytosol was stimulated by Co2+and Ni2+. The magnitude of stimulation increased with incubation time. For Co2+and Ni2+, respective enhancements were 2.8- and 4.0-fold at 15 min and 3.9- and 5.0-fold at 60 min. The relationship between steroid substrate concentration (11-deoxy-[21-3H]corticosterone) and initial velocity was consistent with a model in which the cations reacted with a cytosol inhibitor of isomerase activity. Enzyme, partially purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and gel filtration, had a 6.8-fold increased specific activity. Co2+and Ni2+enhanced the activity of partially purified enzyme 1.6- and 1.9-fold. Unlike the cytosol, stimulation was achieved without lag and was not altered by prolonged incubation. Metal ion chelating agents did not have a consistent effect on the activity of the partially purified enzyme. Cyanide and α,α-dipyridyl increased, and dithizone and 8-hydroxyquinoline decreased activity. The data are not consistent with the hypothesis that side chain isomerase is a metalloenzyme. It is concluded that Co2+and Ni2+stimulate the enzyme by removing an endogenous inhibitor.
