Structural and Functional Studies of the Membrane-Binding Domain of NADPH-Cytochrome P450 Oxidoreductase
Open accessAbstract
NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR), the essential flavoprotein of the microsomal cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system, is anchored in the phospholipid bilayer by its amino-terminal membrane-binding domain (MBD), which is necessary for efficient electron transfer to cytochrome P450. Although crystallographic and kinetic studies have established the structure of the soluble catalytic domain and the role of conformational motions in the control of electron transfer, the role of the MBD is largely unknown. We examined the role of the MBD in P450 catalysis through studies of amino-terminal deletion mutants and site-directed spin labeling. We show that the MBD spans the membrane and present a model for the orientation of CYPOR on the membrane capable of forming a complex with cytochrome P450. EPR power saturation measurements of CYPOR mutants in liposomes containing a lipid/Ni(II) chelate identified a region of the soluble domain interacting with the membrane. The deletion of more than 29 residues from the N-terminus of CYPOR decreases cytochrome P450 activity concomitant with alterations in electrophoretic mobility and an increased resistance to protease digestion. The altered kinetic properties of these mutants are consistent with electron transfer through random collisions rather than via formation of a stable CYPOR-P450 complex. Purified MBD binds weakly to cytochrome P450, suggesting that other interactions are also required for CYPOR-P450 complex formation. We propose that the MBD and flexible tether region of CYPOR, residues 51-63, play an important role in facilitating the movement of the soluble domain relative to the membrane and in promoting multiple orientations that permit specific interactions of CYPOR with its varied partners.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
