Stereochemical properties of the binding site of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 as studied by substrate analogous spin labels. 1979

J Pirrwitz, and G Lassmann, and H Rein, and G R Jänig, and S Pecar, and K Ruckpaul

For the characterization of the substrate binding site optical and EPR measurements with spin labelled substrates on solubilized and pure cytochrome P-450 were performed. Analogously to the unlabelled derivatives spin labelled n-alkylamines and isocyanides with different chain lengths are type II substrates. The Ks-values evaluated from optical (P-450 = 1.98 . 10(-6) M) and ESR (P-450 = 1.98 . 10(-4) M) measurements are very similar indicating no concentration dependences. Contrary to the unlabelled n-alkylamines the spin labelled compounds show an affinity almost independent of the chain lengths. The SL-substrates with a short distance between the functional group and the NO-group bound to P-450 induce pronounced changes of the ligand field of the heme iron and a large broadening of the signal of the immobilized nitroxide indicating intensive interactions between the unpaired electron of the nitroxide group and the paramagnetic heme iron. Elongation of the alkyl chains results in spectra of the Fe3+ complexes with only slight modification and a remained unbroadened signal of the immobilized nitroxide. The binding of the substrate through their functional groups together with a 1:1 stoichiometry of the P-450 SL-IC-complex give evidence for the same binding site in the near vicinity of the heme iron.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
