Fluorescence of eight tryptophan residues in cytochrome P-450scc with bound endogenous cholesterol could be fitted with a two component model: a single exponential and a "top-hat" distribution of lifetimes as the second component. The short-lived component (tau 1 about 700 ps) does not change significantly upon binding of substrate (22R-hydroxycholesterol). The parameters of the long-lived component (central lifetime tau m about 3.4 ns) change upon binding of carbon monoxide and substrate. 22R-hydroxycholesterol binding broadens the distribution of the long-lived component; that is the heterogeneity of the Trp environment is increased when this substrate displaces the endogenous cholesterol.

D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D002786 Cholesterol Side-Chain Cleavage Enzyme A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the side-chain cleavage of C27 cholesterol to C21 pregnenolone in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP11A1 gene, catalyzes the breakage between C20 and C22 which is the initial and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of various gonadal and adrenal steroid hormones.
