Abstract
![]()
Cytochrome P450 (P450) 4A11 is the
only functionally active subfamily
4A P450 in humans. P450 4A11 catalyzes mainly ω-hydroxylation
of fatty acids in liver and kidney; this process is not a major degradative
pathway, but at least one product, 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid,
has important signaling properties. We studied catalysis by P450 4A11
and the issue of rate-limiting steps using lauric acid ω-hydroxylation,
a prototypic substrate for this enzyme. Some individual reaction steps
were studied using pre-steady-state kinetic approaches. Substrate
and product binding and release were much faster than overall rates
of catalysis. Reduction of ferric P450 4A11 (to ferrous) was rapid
and not rate-limiting. Deuterium kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments
yielded low but reproducible values (1.2–2) for 12-hydroxylation
with 12-2H-substituted lauric acid. However, considerable
“metabolic switching” to 11-hydroxylation was observed
with [12-2H3]lauric acid. Analysis of switching
results [Jones, J. P., et al. (1986) J. Am. Chem. Soc.108, 7074–7078] and the use of tritium KIE
analysis with [12-3H]lauric acid [Northrop, D. B. (1987) Methods Enzymol.87, 607–625] both
indicated a high intrinsic KIE (>10). Cytochrome b5 (b5) stimulated steady-state
lauric acid ω-hydroxylation ∼2-fold; the apoprotein was
ineffective, indicating that electron transfer is involved in the b5 enhancement. The rate of b5 reoxidation was increased in the presence of ferrous
P450 mixed with O2. Collectively, the results indicate
that both the transfer of an electron to the ferrous·O2 complex and C–H bond-breaking limit the rate of P450 4A11
ω-oxidation.

Abstract
Cytochrome b(5) (b(5)) has been shown to modulate many cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent reactions. In order to elucidate the mechanism of such modulations, it is necessary to evaluate not only the effect of native b(5) on CYP-catalyzed reactions, but also that of the apo-cytochrome b(5) (apo-b(5)). Therefore, the apo-b(5) protein was prepared using a heterologous expression in Escherichia coli. The gene for rabbit b(5) was constructed from synthetic oligonucleotides using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloned into pUC19 plasmid and amplified in DH5 alpha cells. The gene sequence was verified by DNA sequencing. The sequence coding b(5) was cleaved from pUC19 by NdeI and XhoI restriction endonucleases and subcloned to the expression vector pET22b. This vector was used to transform E. coli BL-21 (DE3) Gold cells by heat shock. Expression of b(5) was induced with isopropyl beta-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The b(5) protein, produced predominantly in its apo-form, was purified from isolated membranes of E. coli cells by chromatography on a column of DEAE-Sepharose. Using such procedures, the homogenous preparation of apo-b(5) protein was obtained. Oxidized and reduced forms of the apo-b(5) reconstituted with heme exhibit the same absorbance spectra as native b(5). The prepared recombinant apo-b(5) reconstituted with heme can be reduced by NADPH:CYP reductase. The reconstituted apo-b(5) is also fully biologically active, exhibiting the comparable stimulation effect on the CYP3A4 enzymatic activity towards oxidation of 1-phenylazo-2-hydroxynaphthalene (Sudan I) as native rabbit and human b(5).

Abstract
The reduction of mammalian cytochrome b5 (b5) by NADPH-cytochrome P450 (P450) reductase is involved in a number of biological reactions. The kinetics of the process have received limited consideration previously, and a combination of pre-steady-state (stopped-flow) and steady-state approaches was used to investigate the mechanism of b5 reduction. In the absence of detergent or lipid, a reductase-b5 complex is formed and rearranges slowly to an active form. Electron transfer to b5 is rapid within this complex (>30 s(-1) at 23 degrees C), as fast as to cytochrome c. With excess b5 present, a burst of reduction is observed, consistent with rapid electron transfer to one or two b5 molecules per reductase, followed by a subsequent rate-limiting event. In detergent vesicles, the reductase and b5 interact rapidly but electron transfer is slower (approximately 3 s(-1) at 23 degrees C). Experiments with dimyristyl lecithin vesicles yielded results intermediate between the non-vesicle and detergent systems. These steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetics provide views of the different natures of the reduction of b5 by the reductase in the absence and presence of vesicles. Without vesicles, the encounter of the reductase and b5 is rapid, followed by a slow reorganization of the initial complex (approximately 0.07 s(-1)), very fast reduction, and dissociation. In vesicles, encounter is rapid and the slow step (approximately 3 s(-1)) is reduction within a complex less favorable for reduction than in the non-vesicle systems.

Abstract
Cytochrome P4504A4 (CYP4A4) is a hormonally induced pulmonary cytochrome P450 which metabolizes prostaglandins and arachidonic acid (AA) to their omega-hydroxylated products. Although the physiological function of this enzyme is unknown, prostaglandins play an important role in the regulation of reproductive, vascular, intestinal, and inflammatory systems and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, the omega-hydroxylated product of arachidonate, is a potent vasoconstrictor. Therefore, it is important to obtain sufficient quantities of the protein for kinetic and biophysical characterization. A CYP4A4 construct was prepared and expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme was purified, and its activity with substrates prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) and AA was examined in the presence and absence of cytochrome b(5) (cyt b(5)) and with a heme-depleted form of cyt b(5) (apo b(5)). The stimulatory role played by cyt b(5) in this system is not dependent on electron transfer from cyt b(5) to the CYP4A4 as similar stimulation was observed with apo b(5). Rapid kinetic measurement of CYP4A4 electron transfer rates confirmed this result. Both flavin and heme reduction rates were constant in the absence and presence of cyt b(5) or apo b(5). CD spectroscopy demonstrated that a conformational change occurred in CYP4A4 protein upon binding of cyt b(5) or apo b(5). Finally, acetylenic fatty acid inhibitors 17-octadecynoic acid, 12-hydroxy-16-heptadecynoic acid, 15-hexadecynoic acid, and 10-undecynoic acid (10-UDYA) were used to probe the substrate-binding pocket of CYP4A4. The short-chain fatty acid inhibitor 10-UDYA was unable to inhibit either PGE(1) or AA metabolism. All but 10-UDYA were effective inhibitors of CYP4A4.

Abstract
The CYP4A gene subfamily is composed of a number of genes that encode cytochromes P450 from various species, including human, which catalyze the hydroxylation of various saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, including arachidonic acid and prostaglandins. CYP4A7, a fatty acid metabolizing cytochrome P450 from rabbit kidney, was expressed in E. coli by adding the first 10 codons of CYP17alpha producing final yields of 20 nmol/L in order to perform detailed kinetic and spectral studies. CYP4A7 metabolized arachidonate, laurate, and myristate, with maximum turnover numbers of 152, 130, and 64.5 min(-1) and corresponding Km values of 74.5, 27, and 16.7 microM, respectively, in the presence of cytochrome b5. In the absence of cytochrome b5, CYP4A7 metabolized laurate and myristate with turnover numbers of 27.4 and 33.6 min(-1) and corresponding Km values of 3.9 and 33 microM, respectively. Arachidonate was not metabolized in the absence of cytochrome b5. Saturation kinetics studies performed with heme-depleted cytochrome b5 (apo cytochrome b5) yielded turnover numbers of 118 and 74 min(-1) and Km values of 74 and 25 microM with laurate and myristate, respectively, indicating that cytochrome b5 is not involved in electron transfer but rather plays a conformational role. Laurate perturbation of the visible absorption spectrum of CYP4A7 allowed for determination of the spectral binding constant (KS) in the absence and presence of cytochrome b5 (13 and 43 microM, respectively). In stopped-flow kinetics experiments, the flavin reduction (approximately 90 s(-1)) and heme reduction (approximately 9 s(-1)) phases of the monooxygenase reaction of CYP4A7 were not altered by the presence of cytochrome b5. Estimations of the rate of CPR (0.3 s(-1)) or cytochrome b5 (9.1 s(-1)) binding with CYP4A7 were also determined.

Abstract
A model of cytochrome P450 2B4, which was constructed by homology modeling with the four known crystal structures of the cytochromes P450 (Chang, T.-T., Stiffelman, O. B., Vakser, I. A., Loew, G. H., Bridges, A., and Waskell, L. (1997) Protein Eng. 10, 119-129), was used to select amino acids predicted, by computer docking studies and numerous previous biochemical and site-directed mutagenesis studies, to be involved in binding the heme domain of cytochrome b5. Twenty-four amino acid residues located on both the distal and the proximal surface of the molecule were chosen for mutagenesis. These 24 mutant proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized with respect to their ability to bind cytochrome b5 and support substrate oxidation. Seven mutants, R122A, R126A, R133A, F135A, M137A, K139A, and K433A, all on the proximal surface of cytochrome P450 2B4 near the heme ligand, were identified that exhibited decreased ability to bind cytochrome b5. All of the mutants except K433A are located in either the C or C* helices or their termini. In addition, these seven mutants and two additional mutants on the proximal surface of cytochrome P450, R422A and R443A, were shown to exhibit decreased binding to cytochrome P450 reductase. These studies indicate that the binding sites for cytochrome b5 and cytochrome P450 reductase are, as predicted, located on the proximal surface of cytochrome P450 2B4 and are partially overlapping but not identical.

Abstract
A number of cytochrome P450 (P450) 2E1 substrates are known to show kinetic deuterium isotope effects of approximately 5 on Km (DK = DKm/HKm), but not on kcat, in rat liver microsomes (e.g. N-nitrosodimethylamine, ethanol, and CH2Cl2). We observed DKm values of 3-5 for recombinant human P450 2E1-catalyzed ethanol oxidation. Replacing NADPH and O2 with the oxygen surrogate cumene hydroperoxide yielded similar results. Ferric P450 2E1 reduction was fast (k >1000 min-1) even in the absence of substrate. These results indicate that the basis for the increase in Km is in the latter portion of the catalytic cycle. The intrinsic isotope effect (Dk) for ethanol oxidation was determined (competitively) to be 3.8, indicating that C-H bond cleavage is isotopically sensitive. Pre-steady-state studies showed a burst of product formation (k = 410 min-1), with the burst amplitude corresponding to the P450 concentration. Deuteration of ethanol resulted in an isotope effect of 3.2 on the rate of the burst. We conclude that product release is rate-limiting in the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde by P450 2E1. The steady-state kinetics can be described by a paradigm in which the kcat approximates the rate of product release, and Km is an expression in which the denominator is dominated by the rate of C-H bond breaking.

Abstract
Many catalytic activities of cytochrome P450 (P450) 3A4, the major human liver P450 enzyme, require cytochrome b5 (b5) for optimal rates. The stimulatory effect of b5 on P450 reactions has generally been thought to be due to transfer of electrons from ferrous b5 to the ferrous P450-O2-substrate complex. We found that apo-b5, devoid of heme, could substitute for b5 in stimulating two prototypic activities, testosterone 6beta hydroxylation and nifedipine oxidation. The stimulatory effect was not seen with albumin, hemoglobin, catalase, or cytochrome c. Apo-b5 could not substitute for b5 in a testosterone 6beta hydroxylation system composed of NADH-b5 reductase and P450 3A4. Rates of electron transfer from NADPH-P450 reductase to ferric P450 3A4 were too slow (<2 min-1) to support testosterone 6beta hydroxylation ( approximately 14 min-1) unless b5 or apo-b5 was present, when rates of approximately 700 min-1 were measured. The oxidation-reduction potential (Em,7) of the ferric/ferrous couple of P450 3A4 was unchanged ( approximately -310 mV) under different conditions in which the kinetics of reduction were altered by the addition of substrate and/or apo-b5. Rapid reduction of P450 3A4 required substrate and a preformed complex of P450 3A4, NADPH-P450 reductase, and b5; the rates of binding of the proteins to each other were 2-3 orders of magnitude less than reduction rates. We conclude that b5 can facilitate some P450 3A4-catalyzed oxidations by complexing with P450 3A4 and enhancing its reduction by NADPH-P450 reductase, without directly transferring electrons to P450.

Abstract
A full-length cDNA encoding human cytochrome P450 2E1 was expressed in mammalian cell lines using the vaccinia virus expression system. Immunoblot analysis showed that the expressed protein reacted with a polyclonal antibody against rat 2E1 and comigrated with P450 2E1 from human liver microsomes. P450 2E1 expressed in Hep G2 cells, a human cell line which contains both cytochrome b5 and NADPH:P450 oxidoreductase, was able to metabolize several known P450 2E1 substrates: N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBzA), p-nitrophenol, phenol, and acetaminophen. Apparent Km and Vmax values for NDMA demethylation were 22 microM and 173 pmol/min/mg microsomal protein, respectively. P450 2E1 expressed in TK-143 cells, which do not contain b5, displayed Km and Vmax values of 31 microM and 34 pmol/min/mg microsomal protein, respectively. Incorporation of purified rat liver b5 into TK-143 microsomes increased the Vmax 2.2-fold and decreased the Km to 22 microM. Addition of b5 to Hep G2 microsomes resulted in a 1.6-fold increase in Vmax, but showed no effect on the Km. P450 2E1 expressed in Hep G2 cells was shown to metabolize NMBzA with a Km of 47 microM and Vmax of 213 pmol/min/mg microsomal protein. Addition of b5 lowered the Km to 27 microM, but had no effect on Vmax. These results demonstrate conclusively that P450 2E1 is responsible for the low Km forms of NDMA demethylase and NMBzA debenzylase observed in liver microsomes and that these activities are affected by cytochrome b5.

Abstract
The interactions of diethylpyrocarbonate (DEP) with the various forms of cytochrome b5 were studied to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the extent of modification of the axial histidines of cytochrome b5. Very low concentrations of DEP were able to decrease the heme binding capacity of apocytochrome b5. Moreover, it was shown that two additional histidines, presumed to be the axial ligands (His 39 and 63), were modified in the apo but not the holo form of a given preparation of cytochrome b5. Trypsin-solubilized bovine cytochrome b5 was resistant to the effects of DEP. A 200-fold molar excess of DEP displaced only 15% of the heme in the trypsin-solubilized protein in contrast to an 84% displacement of the heme in the detergent-solubilized protein. However, detergent-solubilized cytochrome b5 which had been incorporated into phospholipid vesicles exhibited the same reactivity with DEP as did the trypsin-solubilized protein. This is attributed to the fact that the two resistant preparations of cytochrome b5 are monomeric in their respective environments while detergent-solubilized cytochrome b5 is known to exist as an octamer in aqueous solutions. Our studies suggest that dissociation of the octamer to the monomer results in a conformational change that decreases the reactivity of the axial ligands of the hydrophilic heme-containing domain of cytochrome b5. Examination of the cytochrome b5 molecule by computer graphics indicates that a tunnel leads from the surface of the molecule to axial histidine 63 and that axial histidine 39 is buried.

Abstract
Incorporation of detergent-solubilized cytochrome b5 into phenobarbital-induced rabbit liver microsomal fractions decelerates hexobarbital-dependent reduction of ferric cytochrome P-450; this is accompanied by retardation of NADPH utilization and H2O2 formation in the assay media. Integration of manganese-substituted cytochrome b5 into the microsomal preparations fails to affect these parameters. Analysis of the cytochrome P-450 reduction kinetics in the presence of increasing amounts of cytochrome b5 reveals a gradual augmentation of the amplitude of slow-phase electron transfer at the expense of the relative contribution of the fast phase; finally, a slow, apparently monophasic reaction persists. This defect in enzymatic reduction is not due to detergent effects and also does not seem to reflect cytochrome b5-induced perturbation of anchoring of NADPH-cytochrome c(P-450) reductase to cytochrome P-450. Experiments with the highly purified cytochrome P-450 isozyme LM2, in which amino acid residue(s) close to the heme edge had undergone suicidal inactivation through covalent attachment of chloramphenicol metabolite(s) do not exclude the possibility that cytochrome b5 and reductase might compete for a common electron transmission site on the terminal acceptor. Hence, the inhibitory action of cytochrome b5 on the reduction of ferric cytochrome P-450 is tentatively attributed to partial substitution of the former pigment for reductase in direct transport of the first electron to the monooxygenase.

Abstract
The role of cytochrome b5 heme propionate groups in the functional interactions between cytochromes P-450 RLM5 and b5 has been investigated by comparing the capacity of RLM5 to interact with both native b5 and a b5 derivative in which the native heme was replaced with ferric protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester (DME-b5). Both forms of b5 interacted with RLM5 causing an increase in the RLM5 spin state from 28 to 68% high-spin RLM5 at saturation, as judged using uv-visible spectrophotometry. However, DME-b5 exhibited a 7-fold weaker affinity for RLM5. The apparent dissociation constant (Kd) for the interaction between RLM5 and b5 was also shown to be a strong function of ionic strength, in a manner consistent with the involvement of electrostatic attraction in complex formation. Reconstitution of b5 into an RLM5-dependent monooxygenase system stimulated the p-nitroanisole demethylase rate about 25-fold and 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase about 6-fold. DME-b5, however, produced only 30% of the stimulation of RLM5-dependent turnover of p-nitroanisole observed at equivalent concentrations of native b5 without a change in Km. With 7-ethoxycoumarin, turnover was 50% diminished. The diminished capacity of DME-b5 to stimulate RLM5-dependent substrate turnover was shown not to be due to impairment of electron flow between NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and DME-b5, since the Km of reductase for DME-b5 is 2.5-fold lower, and the Vmax is actually increased, but rather to an impairment of some aspect of functional interaction between the DME-b5 and RLM5. The data show that complex formation between cytochrome P-450 and b5 involves electrostatic attraction mediated in part by cytochrome b5 heme propionate groups.

Abstract
Cytochrome b5 has recently been shown to be required in the reconstituted cytochrome P-450 system for the metabolism of the volatile anesthetic methoxyflurane [E. Canova-Davis and L. A. Waskell, J. biol. Chem. 259, 2541 (1984)]. To determine whether this observation in the reconstituted system was merely dependent on the particular ratios of the various components or some other fortuitous, unknown factor, or whether cytochrome b5 plays a role in the liver microsomal metabolism of methoxyflurane, the following studies were undertaken. Antibody to rabbit holocytochrome b5 was raised in guinea pigs. The antibody to cytochrome b5 was able to inhibit 75% of the microsomal metabolism of methoxyflurane. This same antibody also inhibited methoxyflurane metabolism in the reconstituted system. When the antibody to cytochrome b5 was treated with purified cytochrome b5 before addition to the microsomes, it did not inhibit methoxyflurane metabolism. Furthermore, the antibody to cytochrome b5 did not inhibit the microsomal metabolism of benzphetamine. This suggests that cytochrome b5 was required for the microsomal metabolism of methoxyflurane. It is possible that cytochrome b5 functioned in the metabolism of methoxyflurane by retaining a specific conformation of cytochrome P-450 and not by transferring the second electron to cytochrome P-450. To explore this possibility, cytochrome b5 was reconstituted with Mn3+-protoporphyrin IX. The Mn3+-protoporphyrin IX derivative retained the conformation of cytochrome b5 but not its electron transfer properties. This manganese derivative of cytochrome b5 was unable to stimulate the metabolism of methoxyflurane. The study demonstrated that cytochrome b5 was obligatory for the microsomal metabolism of methoxyflurane, whereas it was not required for the microsomal N-demethylation of benzphetamine. Moreover, the heme moiety of cytochrome b5 functioned to transfer electrons in this reaction.

Abstract
NADH-dependent hepatic microsomal monooxygenase activities were measured in the presence and absence of NADPH in material from adult male rats given ethanol in a liquid diet. Controls were given a liquid control diet (control group; lipid as substitute for ethanol) or rat chow (untreated group). Ethanol feeding elevated microsomal aniline hydroxylase activity and did not change ethylmorphine N-demethylase activity. NADH supported 21-24% of the NADPH-driven aniline hydroxylase activity in ethanol, control and untreated microsomes, but only about 6% of ethylmorphine N-demethylase activity. In the presence of NADPH, NADH gave 13-14% increase in aniline hydroxylase activity in microsomes from control and untreated rats, but only 3% in ethanol microsomes. In contrast, the presence of NADPH increased many times the effect of NADH on ethylmorphine N-demethylation with no striking difference between the groups. In another series of experiments, demethylation of 4-nitroanisole was elevated after ethanol feeding (4-fold with NADPH; 5-fold with NADH) and phenobarbital treatment (8-fold with NADPH, 2-fold with NADH). In the ethanol-induced activity, NADH and NADPH were less than additive. In the control and untreated and the phenobarbital-induced activities, NADH and NADPH were additive or possibly synergistic in driving the activity. Both ethanol and phenobarbital elevated cytochrome P-450; ethanol also elevated cytochrome b5 measured as NADH-reducible cytochrome.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
