Abstract: | The Pseudomonas putida cytochrome P-450 was alkylated with the SH-reagent, 2-bromoacetamido-4-nitrophenol. One out of eight cysteine residues present in the enzyme reacted rapidly while another 3 ~ 4 cysteine residues were gradually alkylated at longer reaction times. The derivative in which the most reactive cysteine residue was labeled with this reagent was hydrolyzed with trypsin and a tryptic peptide isolated. From the amino acid composition and end group analysis of the peptide, the rapidly reacting cysteine residue was shown to be Cys 355. This cysteine residue is probably exposed on the surface and is involved in the dimerization of the enzyme. The amino acid sequence about cysteine 355 shows sequence homology with residues 429–445 of the rat liver cytochrome P-450-LM-2. |
