The cytochrome P-450 (P-450sccII) and its reductase, NADPH-cytochrome reductase [EC 1.6.2.4], associated with conversion of progesterone to 4-androstene-3,17-dione, were extensively purified from pig testis microsomes. Higher lyase activity (turnover number of 15 mol of the product formed per min per mol of P-450) could be restored by mixing the P-450sccII, its reductase, pig liver cytochrome b5 and cytochrome b5-reductase [EC 1.6.2.2], and phospholipid in the presence of NADPH, NADH and O2. Omission of cytochrome b5 or NADH resulted in a significant loss of the lyase activity, indicating actual participation of cytochrome b5 in this P-450-mediated steroidogenic system in the testis.
