Formation of flavin semiquinone during the reduction of P450 BM3 reductase domain with NADPH.

چکیده
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 with nitric oxide synthase. The atomic structure of the haem (P450) domain the enzyme was determined recently (3).

Flavocytochrome P450 BM3 is a member of the diflavin reductase enzyme family. Members include cytochrome P450 reductase, nitric-oxide synthase, methionine synthase reductase, and novel oxidoreductase 1. These enzymes show a strong preference for NADPH over NADH as reducing coenzyme. An aromatic residue stacks over the FAD isoalloxazine ring in each enzyme, and in some cases it is important in c...
متن کاملThe Flavin-Containing Reductase Domain of Cytochrome P450 BM3 Acts as a Surrogate for Mammalian NADPH-P450 Reductase
Cytochrome P450 BM3 (CYP102A1) from Bacillus megaterium is a self-sufficient monooxygenase that consists of a heme domain and FAD/FMN-containing reductase domain (BMR). In this report, the reduction of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC) by BMR was evaluated as a method for monitoring BMR activity. The electron tr...
متن کاملControl of electron transfer in neuronal NO synthase.
The nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) are dimeric flavocytochromes consisting of an oxygenase domain with cytochrome P450-like Cys-ligated haem, coupled to a diflavin reductase domain, which is related to cytochrome P450 reductase. The NOSs catalyse the sequential mono-oxygenation of arginine to N-hydroxyarginine and then to citrulline and NO. The constitutive NOS isoforms (cNOSs) are regulated by ...
متن کاملSubzero-temperature stabilization and spectroscopic characterization of homogeneous oxyferrous complexes of the cytochrome P450 BM3 (CYP102) oxygenase domain and holoenzyme.
We describe herein for the first time the formation and spectroscopic characterization of homogeneous oxyferrous complexes of the cytochrome P450 BM3 (CYP102) holoenzyme and heme domain (BMP) at -55 degrees C using a 70/30 (v/v) glycerol/buffer cryosolvent. The choice of buffer is a crucial factor with Tris [tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane] buffer being significantly more effective than phospha...
متن کاملThe C terminus of mouse macrophage inducible nitric-oxide synthase attenuates electron flow through the flavin domain.
The sequences of nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) flavin domains closely resemble that of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR), with the exception of a few regions. One such region is the C terminus; all NOS isoforms are 20-40 amino acids longer than CPR, forming a "tail" that is absent in CPR. To investigate its function, we removed the 21-amino acid C-terminal tail from murine macrophage inducibl...
