Upon incubation of detergent-solubilized NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and either cytochrome b5 or cytochrome c in the presence of a water-soluble carbodiimide, a 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC), covalently cross-linked complex was formed. The cross-linked derivative was a heterodimer consisting of one molecule each of flavoprotein and cytochrome, and it was purified to 90% or more homogeneity. The binary covalent complex between the flavoprotein and cytochrome b5 was exclusively observed following incubation of all three proteins including NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, cytochrome b5, and cytochrome c in L-alpha-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles, and no heterotrimer could be identified. The isolated reductase-cytochrome b5 complex was incapable of covalent binding with cytochrome c in the presence of EDC. No clear band for covalent complex formation between PB-1 and reductase was seen with the present EDC cross-linking technique. More than 90% of the cross-linked cytochrome c in the purified derivative was rapidly reduced upon addition of an NADPH-generating system, whereas approximately 80% of the cross-linked cytochrome b5 was rapidly reduced. These results showed that in the greater part of the complexes, the flavin-mediated pathway for reduction of cytochrome c or cytochrome b5 by pyridine nucleotide was intact. When reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles, the purified amphipathic derivative could hardly reduce exogenously added cytochrome c, cytochrome b5, or PB-1, indicating that the cross-linked cytochrome shields the single-electron-transferring interface of the flavoprotein. These results suggest that the covalent cross-linked derivative is a valid model of the noncovalent functional electron-transfer complex. 相似文献

NADPH-cytochrome c reductase also reduces cytochrome b 5. The reduction is very slow when the proteins are in solution or bound to different membranes. Only when both proteins share a common membrane, is cytochrome b 5 reduced rapidly by NADPH. The difference in reaction rates indicates recombination on a common membrane of cytochrome b 5 and NADPH reductase originally bound to different vesicles. The recombination of the two proteins occurs with a variety of biological membranes (previously enriched with either reductase or cytochrome b 5) as well as with liposomes. We explain this process as protein transfer rather than vesicle fusion for several reasons: 1. The vesicles do not alter shape or size during incubation. 2. The rate of this process corresponds to the rate of incorporation of the single proteins into liposomes carrying the 'complementary' protein. 3. The exchange of proteins between biological membranes and liposomes occupied by protein does not change the density of either membrane. Protein transfer between membranes appears to be limited to those proteins which had spontaneously recombined with a preformed membrane. In contrast, proteins incorporated into liposomes by means of a detergent were not transferred, nor were endogenous cytochrome b 5 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase transferred from microsomes to Golgi membranes or lipid vesicles. We conclude that the endogenous proteins and proteins incorporated in the presence of a detergent are linked to the membrane in another manner than the same proteins which had been inserted into a preformed membrane. 相似文献

Acetylation and succinylation of cytochrome c decrease its rate of reaction with superoxide. The effect of succinylation is greater than that of acetylation. As predicted by the Brönsted-Debye-Hückel relationship, the effect of modification of cytochrome c is more pronounced at low ionic strength. Modification of cytochrome c causes a much greater decrease in its reaction with NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, compared to its reaction with superoxide. This data forms the quantitative basis for the enhanced specificity of modified cytochrome c for superoxide detection previously described by other investigators. Additionally, a greatly simplified version of the trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid method for estimation of free amino groups is presented. 相似文献

The presence of a very active cytochrome P-450-dependent drug-metabolizing system in the olfactory epithelium has been confirmed by using 7-ethoxycoumarin, 7-ethoxyresorufin, hexobarbitone and aniline as substrates, and the reasons for the marked activity of the cytochrome P-450 in this tissue have been investigated. The spectral interaction of hexobarbitone and aniline with hepatic and olfactory microsomes has been examined. By this criterion there was no evidence for marked differences in the spin state of the cytochromes of the two tissues, or for the olfactory epithelium containing a greater amount of cytochrome capable of binding hexobarbitone, a very actively metabolized substrate. Rates of NADPH and NADH: cytochrome c reductase activity were found to be higher in the olfactory epithelium than in the liver, and direct evidence was obtained for a greater amount of the NADPH-dependent flavoprotein in the olfactory microsomes. Investigation of male rats and male and female mice, as well as male hamsters, demonstrated that, in all cases, the cytochrome P-450 levels of the olfactory epithelium were lower than those of the liver, while the 7-ethoxycoumarin de-ethylase and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase activities were higher. A correlation was found between 7-ethoxycoumarin de-ethylase and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase activities for both tissues in all species examined. The ratio of reductase to cytochrome P-450 was found to be considerably higher in the olfactory epithelium (1:2-1:3) than in the liver (1:11-1:15), regardless of the species examined, suggesting that facilitated electron flow may contribute significantly to the cytochrome P-450 catalytic turnover in the olfactory tissue. 相似文献

Chemical characterization of protein-protein interactions between cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome b5 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Native cytochrome b5 interacts with either RLM5 or LM2 to form tight equimolar complexes (Kd = 250 and 540 nM, respectively) in which the content of high spin cytochrome P-450 was substantially increased. Cytochrome b5 caused 3- and 7-fold increases in the binding affinities of RLM5 and LM2 for benzphetamine, respectively, and benzphetamine decreased the apparent Kd for cytochrome b5 binding. Upon formation of the ternary complex between cytochromes P-450, b5, and benzphetamine the percentage of cytochrome P-450 in the high spin state was increased from 28 to 74 (RLM5) and from 9 to 85 (LM2). Cytochrome b5 caused 13- and 7-fold increases in the rate of RLM5- and LM2-dependent p-nitroanisole demethylation, respectively. Amino-modified (ethyl acetimidate or acetic anhydride) cytochrome b5 produced results similar to those obtained above with native cytochrome b5. In contrast, modification of as few as 5 mol of carboxyl groups/mol of amidinated cytochrome b5 resulted in both a substantial loss of the spectrally observed interactions with either cytochrome P-450 LM2 or cytochrome P-450 RLM5, and in a loss of the cytochrome b5-mediated stimulation of p-nitroanisole demethylation catalyzed by either monooxygenase. In further studies, native and fully acetylated cytochromes b5 reoxidized carbonmonoxy ferrous LM2 at least 20 times faster than amidinated, carboxyl-modified cytochrome b5 derivatives. In contrast, amidination, or acetylation of amino groups, or amidination of amino groups plus methylamidination of the carboxyl groups did not appreciably slow the rate of reduction of the cytochrome b5 by NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. Collectively, the results provide strong evidence for an essential role of cytochrome b5 carboxyl groups in functional interactions with RLM5 and LM2. 相似文献

Water-soluble carbodiimide-catalyzed cross-linking of purified cytochrome P-450 LM2, cytochrome b5, and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase was used to identify stable complexes formed between these proteins. High yields of P-450-b5 and P-450 reductase-b5 dimers, and lower yields of P-450 reductase-LM2 dimers were obtained. Substitution of native b5 and P-450 reductase with fully amidinated derivatives showed that LM2 and b5 were cross-linked exclusively through their respective amino and carboxyl groups. However, there appeared to be two complexation sites on the reductase which cross-link to b5 through amino groups and to LM2 through carboxyl groups respectively. A heterotrimer could not be identified following incubation of all three proteins together with EDC. 相似文献

A protein-protein association of cytochrome P-450 LM2 with NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, with cytochrome b5, and with both proteins was demonstrated in reconstituted phospholipid vesicles by magnetic circular dichroism difference spectra. A 23% decrease in the absolute intensity of the Soret band of the magnetic CD spectrum of cytochrome P-450 was observed when it was reconstituted with reductase. A difference spectrum corresponding to a 7% decrease in absolute intensity was obtained when cytochrome b5 was incorporated into vesicles that already contained cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome P-450 reductase compared to a decrease of 13% in absolute intensity when cytochrome b5 was incorporated into vesicles that contained only cytochrome P-450. The use of the magnetic circular dichroism confirmed that protein-protein associations that have been detected by absorption spectroscopy between purified and detergent-solubilized proteins also exist in membranes. High ionic strength was shown to interrupt direct electron flow from cytochrome P-450 reductase to cytochrome P-450 but not the electron flow from reductase through cytochrome b5 to cytochrome P-450. Upon incorporation of cytochrome b5 into cytochrome P-450- and cytochrome P-450 reductase-containing vesicles, an increase of benzphetamine N-demethylation activity was observed. The magnitude of this increase was numerically identical to the residual activity of the reconstituted vesicles measured in the presence of 0.3 M KCl. It is concluded that there is a requirement for at least one charge pairing for electron transfer from reductase to cytochrome P-450. These observations are combined in a proposed mechanism of coupled reversible association reactions in the membrane. 相似文献

The effects of bivalent cations on cytochrome b5 reduction by NADH:cytochrome b5 reductase and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase were studied with the proteinase-solubilized enzymes. Cytochrome b5 reduction by NADH:cytochrome b5 reductase was strongly inhibited by CaCl2 or MgCl2. When 1.2 microM-cytochrome b5 was used, the concentrations of CaCl2 and MgCl2 required for 50% inhibition (I50) were 8 and 18 mM respectively. The inhibition was competitive with respect to cytochrome b5. The extent of inhibition by CaCl2 or MgCl2 was much higher than that by KCl or other alkali halides. In contrast, cytochrome b5 reduction by NADPH:cytochrome c reductase was extremely activated by CaCl2 or MgCl2. In the presence of 5 mM-CaCl2, the activity was 24-fold higher than control when 4.4 microM-cytochrome b5 was used. The magnitude of activation by CaCl2 was 2-3-fold higher than that by MgCl2. The activation by these salts was much higher than that by KCl, indicating that bivalent cations play an important role in this activation. The mechanisms of inhibition and activation by bivalent cations of cytochrome b5 reduction by these two microsomal reductases are discussed. 相似文献

Eight experiments were conducted to determine effects of a phenolic polymer (Kraft wood lignin, Indulin), phenolic glycosides (cane molasses and wood molasses), and phenolic monomers (vanillin, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, and p-coumaric acid) on liver cytochromes P-450, cytochrome b5, and NADPH cytochrome c reductase in chicks and rats. Chicks fed 6.0% lignin had a higher (P less than 0.01) cytochromes P-450 content than did chicks fed 0% fiber, 6.0% wood cellulose (Solka Floc), or 6.0% arenaceous flour. NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity was not affected by treatment. Chicks fed 12.0% wood molasses had a higher (P less than 0.06) cytochromes P-450 level than did chicks fed 0% fiber or 6.0% wood molasses. Cane molasses incorporated at both 6.0 and 12.0% of the diet induced (P less than 0.05) cytochromes P-450 content over those of control-fed birds. Chicks fed 6.0% lignin, with or without antibiotic (bacitracin:neomycin sulfate, 2:1), had a higher (P less than 0.01) cytochromes P-450 level than did chicks fed control diets, with or without antibiotic. Additionally, chicks fed 6.0% lignin had lower (P less than 0.01) intestinal diaminopimelic acid (DAP) levels than did chicks fed 0% fiber. Rats fed 0% fiber, 6.0% wood cellulose, 6.0% arenaceous flour, or 6.0% lignin exhibited no difference in cytochrome level or activity among treatments. Chicks fed 0.5% vanillin, 0.5% vanillic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, or 0.5% p-coumaric acid had comparable cytochromes level and activity compared with chicks fed no phenolics. Chicks fed 0.5% p-coumaric acid had lower (P less than 0.05) rates of gain than did chicks fed control or other phenolic-containing diets. Rats fed these phenolics had similar cytochromes P-450 content among treatments. 相似文献

Rotation of cytochrome P-450. II. Specific interactions of cytochrome P-450 with NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase in phospholipid vesicles 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Purified rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase were co-reconstituted in phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylethanolamine-phosphatidylserine vesicles using a cholate dialysis technique. The co-reconstitution of the enzymes was demonstrated in proteoliposomes fractionated by centrifugation in a glycerol gradient. The proteoliposomes catalyzed the N-demethylation of a variety of substrates. Rotational diffusion of cytochrome P-450 was measured by detecting the decay of absorption anisotropy r(t), after photolysis of the heme.CO complex by a vertically polarized laser flash. The rotational mobility of cytochrome P-450, when reconstituted alone, was found to be dependent on the lipid to protein ratio by weight (L/P450) (Kawato, S., Gut, J., Cherry, R. J., Winterhalter, K. H., and Richter, C. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 7023-7029). About 35% of cytochrome P-450 was immobilized and the rest was rotating with a mean rotational relaxation time phi 1 of about 95 mus in L/P450 = 1 vesicle. In L/P450 = 10 vesicles, about 10% of P-450 was immobile and the rest was rotating with phi 1 congruent to 55 mus. Co-reconstitution of equimolar amounts of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase into the above vesicles results in completely mobile cytochrome P-450 with a phi 1 congruent to 40 mus. Only a small decrease in the immobile fraction of cytochrome P-450 is observed when the molar ratio of cytochrome P-450 to the reductase is 5. The results suggest the formation of a monomolecular 1:1 complex between cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase in the liposomes. 相似文献

The interaction between NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and a series of cytochrome P-450 isozymes was investigated using UV-visible spectrophotometry. In the absence of substrate the interactions between the reductase and RLM3, RLM5, and RLM5a were tight, exhibiting sub-micromolar dissociation constants and resulted in type I spectra of varying magnitude from which the following increases in the proportion of high spin hemoprotein were calculated; RLM3 (7%), RLM5 (36%), RLM5a (6%), LM2 (29%), RLM2 (0%). Preincubation of LM2 with its type I substrate benzphetamine increased the affinity of the cytochrome for the reductase. Using initial estimates of the P-450 spin states in the absence of reductase in conjunction with the spectral binding data and equations relating these parameters to the microequilibria for the association of reductase with high or low spin P-450, RLM3, RLM5, RLM5a and LM2 were shown to bind significantly more tightly to high spin P-450. The relevance of this data to the understanding of spin state influence on P-450 reduction is discussed. 相似文献

Immunochemical studies on the contribution of NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase to the cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of arachidonic acid 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have studied the role of NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and in two other monooxygenase systems: aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and 7-ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase. Human liver NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase was purified to homogeneity as evidenced by its migration as a single band on SDS gel electrophoresis, having a molecular weight of 71,000 Da. Rabbits were immunized with the purified enzyme and the resulting antibodies were used to evaluate the involvement of the reductase in cytochrome P-450-dependent arachidonic acid metabolism by bovine corneal epithelial and rabbit renal cortical microsomes. A highly sensitive immunoblotting method was used to identify the presence of NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase in both tissues. We used these antibodies to demonstrate for the first time the presence of cytochrome c reductase in the cornea. Anti-NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase IgG, but not anti-heme oxygenase IgG, inhibited the NADPH-dependent arachidonic acid metabolism in both renal and corneal microsomes. The inhibition was dependent on the ratio of IgG to microsomal protein where 50% inhibition of arachidonic acid conversion by cortical microsomes was achieved with a ratio of 1:1. A higher concentration of IgG was needed to achieve the same degree of inhibition in the corneal microsomes. The antibody also inhibited rabbit renal cortical 7-ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase activity, a cytochrome P-450-dependent enzyme. However, the anti-NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase IgG was much less effective in inhibiting rabbit cortical aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase. Thus, the degree of inhibition of monooxygenases by anti-NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase IgG is variable. However, with respect to arachidonic acid, NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase appears to be an integral component for the electron transfer to cytochrome P-450 in the oxidation of arachidonic acid. 相似文献

Microsomes isolated from whole rat brain were found to contain cytochreme P-450 (0.025 to 0.051 nmoles/mg) and NADPH cytochrome reductase activity (26.0 to 55.0 nmoles/mg/min). The oxidation of estradiol to a reactive metabolite that became covalently bound to rat brain microsomal protein was inhibited 63% by an atmosphere of CO:O2 (9:1), indicating the involvement of a cytochrome P-450 oxygenase. In contrast, this atmosphere had no effect on the binding of either the catechol estrogen, 2-hydroxyestradiol, or several catecholamines to rat brain microsomes. An antibody prepared against NADPH cytochrome reductase was found to decrease significantly both the formation of 2-hydroxyestradiol from estradiol by rat brain microsomes and the covalent binding of the catechol estrogen and catecholamines to rat brain microsomal protein. 相似文献

NADPH cytochrome c (P-450) reductase was purified from human placental microsomes using a combination of affinity and gel filtration chromatography. Affinity chromatography using agarose-hexane-adenosine 2'5 diphosphate resulted in two protein bands being detected by SDS-PAGE of approximate MwS 68 and 75 kDa. Fractions containing the two proteins were pooled, and then resolved using Sephacryl S-200. Both of the purified proteins displayed enzyme activity, measured by their ability to reduce cytochrome c. The 75 kDa protein obtained was used to immunize three female New Zealand white rabbits. The IgG fraction was partly purified from rabbit sera which suppressed placental microsomal NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity by > 80% using 33% ammonium sulphate. The procured antibody suppressed androstenedione aromatase activity in microsomal preparations of human placental and breast adipose tissue, and NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity in prostate (benign and malignant), MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, breast adipose, Hep G2 hepatoma cells and placental microsomal preparations. The extent of NADPH cytochrome c reductase inhibition varied in the order of malignant prostate < benign prostate < MDA < breast adipose < Hep G2 < placenta. The results suggest that human placental NADPH cytochrome c (P-450) reductase shares common antigenic epitopes pertinent to its capability of reducing cytochrome c in all of the above-mentioned tissues. In attempting to associate possible changes in NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity imposed by neoplasia to the obtained immunochemical cross reactivity and enzyme activity results, it was noted that microsomes obtained from MDA cells exhibited enzyme activity significantly less than that of breast adipose microsomes (1.6 and 8.1 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively) and by comparison showed 6% less homology towards the placental antibody. The results obtained for benign and malignant prostate showed no significant difference between the neoplastic states as adjudged by enzyme activity and immunochemical assays. 相似文献

The interactions between purified rat hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and the type I ligands benzphetamine and cytochrome b5 have been studied in the presence of phospholipid using difference spectrophotometry. Cytochrome b5 was shown to interact with cytochrome P-450 to form a tight 1:1 complex (Kd = 275 nM), in which the proportion of high spin cytochrome P-450 was increased from 7 to 30%. The presence of saturating cytochrome b5 was shown to cause a decrease in the apparent Kd for benzphetamine binding from 111 microM to 40 microM. Likewise, the presence of benzphetamine was shown to cause a decrease in the apparent dissociation constant for cytochrome b5 binding to cytochrome P-450 (Kd = 90 nM). The above interactions were resolved into the basic equilibria inter-relating the various ligation states of the hemoprotein in an energetically closed eight-state free energy coupling model and the relative magnitudes of the microequilibria were analyzed to determine the degree of coupling of the interactions between cytochrome P-450 and both benzphetamine and cytochrome b5. Consequently, the spin state changes in cytochrome P-450 induced by benzphetamine and cytochrome b5 binding were shown to arise because these ligands interact 7 and 4 times more tightly with high spin cytochrome P-450, respectively. Furthermore, the data revealed that these ligands interact at independent sites on cytochrome P-450. Thus the effects of cytochrome b5 upon benzphetamine binding and vice versa were rationalized simply in terms of an increase in the proportion of a high spin (high affinity) conformation of cytochrome P-450 brought about by pre-equilibration with the effector ligand, with the intrinsic binding affinities of the two ligands for the low or high spin states remaining relatively unaltered. The thermodynamic parameters associated with the interactions between cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome b5, determined from the temperature dependence of these interactions, revealed that these protein interactions are entropy driven and probably occur by a hydrophobic mechanism. 相似文献

Cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 REDUctase, both purified from liver microsomes of phenobarbital-pretreated rabbits, have been incorporated into the membrane of phosphoaditylcholine vesicles by the cholate dialysis method. The reduction of cytochrome P-450 by NADPH in this system is biphasic, consisting of two first-order reactions. The rate constant of the fast phase, in which 80--90% of the total cytochrome is reduced, increases as the molar ratio of the reductase to the cytochrome is increased at a fixed ratio of the cytochrome to phosphatidylcholine, suggesting that the rate-limiting step of the fast phase is the interaction between the reductase and the cytochrome. The rate constant of the fast phase also increases when the amount of phosphatidylcholine, relative to those of the two proteins, is decreased. This latter observation suggests that the interaction between the two proteins is effected by their random collision caused by their lateral mobilities on the plane of the membrane of phosphatidylcholine vesicles. The rate constant of the slow phase as well as the fraction of cytochrome P-450 reducible in the slow phase, on the other hand, remains essentially constant even upon alteration in the ratio of the reductase to the cytochrome or in that of the two proteins to phosphatidylcholine. No satisfactory explanation is as yet available for the cause of the slow-phase reduction of cytochrome P-450. The overall activity of benzphetamine N-demethylation catalyzed by the reconstituted vesicles responds to changes in the composition of the sysTEM IN A SIMILAR WAY TO THE FAST-PHASE REDUCTION OF CYTOCHROME P-450, though the latter is not the rate-limiting step of the overall reaction. 相似文献

The interaction of NADPH--cytochrome c reductase with oxygen, artificial acceptors and cytochrome P-450 was studied. The generation of superoxide anion radicals (O2-.) from the oxidation of adrenaline to adrenochrome catalysed by NADPH--cytochrome c reductase proceeds independently of the interaction of the enzyme with the artificial anaerobic acceptors cytochrome c or 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol. Propyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate inhibited competitively the adrenaline oxidation by isolated NADPH--cytochrome c reductase (Ki 3.2--4.7 micrometer) and inhibited non-competitively the cytochrome c reduction (Ki 92--109 micrometer). In contrast with the process of electron transfer to cytochrome c, the rate of reduction of cytochrome P-450 and the rate of oxidation of adrenaline in liver microsomal fraction are correlated. Hexobarbital increases the Vmax. of adrenaline oxidation without affecting the Km value, whereas metyrapone, a metabolic inhibitor decreases Vmax. without affecting the Km. From the results obtained, some conclusions about NADPH--cytochrome c reductase function were made. 相似文献

Cytochrome P-450 LM2 purified from rabbit liver microsomes has been shown to be a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Cytochrome b5, in contrast, was a very poor substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase, although it stimulated the activity of the kinase toward histone. When purified rabbit cytochrome b5 was mixed with purified LM2, phosphorylation of LM2 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was inhibited approximately 80-90%. Recently, a functional covalent complex of cytochrome b5 and LM2 was prepared and purified to homogeneity (P.P. Tamburini and J.B. Schenkman (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84, 11-15). When present as a covalent complex with cytochrome b5, the phosphorylation of LM2 in the complex by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was also inhibited about 80-90% relative to an equivalent amount of LM2 alone. On the other hand, when the LM2 was phosphorylated prior to interaction with cytochrome b5, the ability of the latter to perturb the spin equilibrium of LM2 and oxidation of p-nitroanisole by the LM2 was diminished to an extent comparable to the degree of phosphorylation. The results suggest either that the phosphorylation site on LM2 may be within the cytochrome b5 binding site or that phosphorylation and cytochrome b5 cause mutually exclusive conformational changes in LM2. In addition, eight different forms of cytochrome P-450 from the rat (RLM2, RLM3, fRLM4, RLM5, RLM5a, RLM5b, RLM6, and PBRLM5) were examined as potential substrates for cAMP-dependent protein kinase under the same conditions. Maximal phosphorylation of about 20 mol% was obtained with LM2, and about half as much with PBRLM5. The low extent of phosphorylation of LM2 was not due to the prior presence of phosphate on the enzyme since LM2, as isolated, contains less than 0.1 mol phosphate/mol of enzyme. The other forms of cytochrome P-450 tested showed little or no phosphorylation in vitro despite the presence of a cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sequence on at least two of them. 相似文献
