Purified cytochrome P 450 SCC from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria was incorporated into liposomes by the cholate-dilution method utilizing either dialysis or Sephadex gel filtration. Among synthetic phospholipids tested, dioleoylglycerophosphocholine showed the best stability during the incorporation of P 450 SCC into liposomes. A maximum amount of heme was incorporated into liposomes at a molar ratio of phospholipid to the cytochrome of approx. 200. When P 450 SCC was incorporated into the dioleoylglycerophosphocholine liposomes by the cholate-filtration method, the P 450 SCC-containing liposomes showed two major populations on the elution pattern of the Sepharose 4B gel filtration, and were seen at a diameter of 200–600 Å and its aggregated forms. When the cytochrome was incorporated into dioleoylglycerophosphocholine liposomes or cholesterol-free adrenocortical mitochondrial liposomes, P 450 SCC was less stable than P 450 SCC in aqueous solution. Cholesterol or adrenodoxin markedly stabilized the liposomal P 450 SCC. Liposomal P 450 SCC required cholesterol for its optimum reduction with adrenodoxin, adrenodoxin reductase, and NADPH in the presence of CO. About 70% of the total heme in the dioleoylglycerophosphocholine liposomes was reduced by the enzymatic reduction in the presence of cholesterol, indicating that 70% of the total molecules are exposed to the surface of the outer monolayer. In order to see the location of the heme in membrane, the dioleoylglycerophosphocholine-liposomal P 450 SCC was subjected to p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid treatment. This reagent destroyed the liposomal P 450 SCC. These results suggest that the heme is located in the proximity of the p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid reacting sites which are exposed to the surface, or located on the vincinity of polar heads of the membrane.
