Cytochromes P450 and flavin monooxygenases--targets and sources of nitric oxide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article is a report on a symposium sponsored by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics and held at the Experimental Biology 01 meeting in Orlando, FL. The presentations addressed the mechanisms of inhibition and regulation of cytochrome P450 and flavin monooxygenase enzymes by nitric oxide. They also highlighted the consequences of these effects on metabolism of drugs and volatile amines as well as on important physiological parameters, such as control of blood pressure, renal ion transport, and steroidogenesis. This is achieved via regulation of P450-dependent prostacyclin, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and epoxyeicosatrienoic acid formation. Conversely, the mechanisms and relative importance of nitric oxide synthases and P450 enzymes in NO production from endogenous and synthetic substrates were also addressed.

Formation of flavin semiquinone during the reduction of P450 BM3 reductase domain with NADPH.
Cytochrome P450 BM3 (P450 102) from Bacillus megaterium is a unique bacterial P450, formed from the fusion of a fatty acid hydroxylase to a eukaryotic-like NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase flavoprotein in a single (1 19 kDa) polypeptide chain (1, 2). It is an attractive model system for enzymological and structural studies due to its homology with mammalian drug metabolising P450 systems, and wi...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary x-ray studies of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase.
NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR; NADPH:ferrihemoprotein reductase, EC 1.6.2.4) catalyzes the transfer of electrons to all known microsomal cytochromes P450. CPR is unique in that it is one of only two mammalian enzymes known to contain both flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN), the other being the various isoforms of nitric oxide synthase. Similarities in amino...
متن کاملNitric oxide synthase structure and electron transfer.
The nitric oxide synthases (NOS), although unrelated to the cytochromes P450 in terms of sequence, exhibit spectroscopic and catalytic properties strongly reminiscent of those of the P450 system. One important difference is the requirement of the NOS enzymes for tetrahydrobiopterin. The biopterin cofactor is shown by chemical studies to bind close to pyrrole ring D of the prosthetic heme group,...
متن کاملTitle Endothelium-derived vasoactive factors and hypertension: Possible roles in pathogenesis and as treatment targets
Endothelial cells regulate vascular tone by releasing various contracting and relaxing factors including nitric oxide (NO), arachidonic acid metabolites (derived from cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases), reactive oxygen species, and vasoactive peptides. Additionally, another pathway associated with the hyperpolarization of the underlying smooth muscle cells plays...
متن کاملStructural and functional diversity in heme monooxygenases.
Recent advances in understanding structure-function relationships in cytochrome P450 (P450), nitric-oxide synthase (NOS), and heme oxygenase are summarized. Of particular importance is the role that dynamics plays in P450 function, where the active site undergoes large open/close motions to enable substrates to bind and products to leave. In sharp contrast, the heme-containing active site of NO...
