Role of the hydrophobic tail of cytochrome b5 in the interaction with cytochrome P-450 LM2. 1982

P Bendzko, and S A Usanov, and W Pfeil, and K Ruckpaul

The interaction of cytochrome P-450 LM2 with cytochrome b5 is accompanied by a high spin shift in P-450 LM2 and the improvement of a second derivative spectra in the near ultraviolet region. After incorporation into phospholipid vesicles the interaction between P-450 LM2 and b5 is increased according to a decrease of the apparent binding constant. The involvement of a tryptophanyl residue in the interaction will be discussed. Contrary the tryptic fragment of cytochrome b5 which lacks the membrane binding tail does not show an interaction with P-450 LM2 either in the absence or presence of phospholipids.

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.
