The primary structure of the cholesterol side-chain cleavage cytochrome P-450 (P-450scc) from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria has been determined. At the initial stage an exhaustive chymotryptic digestion of carboxymethylated P-450scc was performed, and the amino acid sequence of 66 peptides was determined. At the second stage an investigation of the amino acid sequence of individual fragments I (Mr 29 800) and II (Mr 26 600) of the limited trypsinolysis of P-450scc was carried out. Fragment I was digested with trypsin, Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase and thermolysin; fragment II was cleaved with trypsin and S. aureus V8 proteinase. In addition, the amino acid sequence of some CNBr peptides of P-450scc has been investigated. The primary structure of cytochrome P-450scc determined with protein chemistry methods proved the multistage cholesterol transformation to pregnenolone to be catalyzed by a single species of cytochrome P-450scc which consists of 481 amino acids. The results from protein sequencing of P-450scc are in good agreement with those obtained recently from nucleotide sequencing. The localization of peptide bonds cleaved under limited proteolysis of P-450 with trypsin to fragments I and II, I and III (Mr 16 800) is presented. It is shown that the transformation of P-450scc to P-420 is accompanied by the appearance of an additional trypsin-sensitive peptide bond in the N-terminal part of P-450scc.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

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.
