Crystal Structure of Hemoprotein Domain of P450BM-3, a Prototype for Microsomal P450's

Abstract: Cytochrome P450BM-3, a bacterial fatty acid monoxygenase, resembles the eukaryotic microsomal P450's and their flavoprotein reductase in primary structure and function. The three-dimensional structure of the hemoprotein domain of P450BM-3 was determined by x-ray diffraction and refined to an R factor of 16.9 percent at 2.0 angstrom resolution. The structure consists of an alph and a beta domain. The active site heme is accessible through a long hydrophobic channel formed primarily by the beta domain and the B'… Show more

“…A crystallographic structure has not been determined for any wild-type mammalian P450. However, a crystallographic structure of the haemoprotein domain of P450 BM-$ , which is considered to be functionally related to microsomal P450s, has been determined at 2.0 A H resolution [26]. The structural similarity of P450 BM-$ to eicosanoid-synthesizing P450s, PGIS and TXAS is reflected in their 25 % sequence identity and the substrate similarity.…”

“…Secondly, the residue Phe87, a residue involved in a rotational movement when the substrate is bound, is already almost completely rotated in the substrate-free form of A2 mutant, as in the substrate-bound WT structure ( Figure 3A). Since it has been proposed that the spin equilibrium in P450 BM3 is affected by Phe87, this is an important change since it facilitates both the access of substrates to the active site of the protein and the water displacement [39,40]. Moreover, some residue side chains such as Phe261 and His266 that undergo major changes upon substrate binding, are already in the substrate-bound conformation.…”
