Abstract

Mammalian cytochrome P450 2B4 (CYP2B4) is a phenobarbital-inducible rabbit hepatic monooxygenase that catalyzes the N-demethylation of benzphetamine and metabolism of numerous other compounds. To probe the interactions of the heme environment and bound benzphetamine with the dioxygen (O₂) complex of CYP2B4, homogeneous O₂ complexes of the wild-type enzyme and three mutants at sites of conserved amino acids, two on the heme distal side (T302A and E301Q) and one on the proximal side (F429H), have been prepared and stabilized at ~-50°C in mixed solvents (60-70% v/v glycerol). We report that the magnetic circular dichroism and electronic absorption spectra of wild-type oxyferrous CYP2B4, in the presence and absence of substrate, are quite similar to those of the dioxygen complex of bacterial cytochrome P450-CAM (CYP101). However, the oxyferrous complexes of the T302A and E301Q CYP2B4 mutants have significantly perturbed electronic structure (~4 nm and ~3 nm red-shifted Soret features, respectively) compared to that of the wild-type oxyferrous complex. On the other hand, the heme proximal side mutant, CYP2B4 F429H, undergoes relatively facile conversion to a partially (~50%) denatured (P420) form upon reduction. The structural chang...Continue Reading

Cavernous Hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.
