Abstract
NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR), the essential flavoprotein of the microsomal cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system, is anchored in the phospholipid bilayer by its amino-terminal membrane-binding domain (MBD), which is necessary for efficient electron transfer to cytochrome P450. Although crystallographic and kinetic studies have established the structure of the soluble catalytic domain and the role of conformational motions in the control of electron transfer, the role of the MBD is largely unknown. We examined the role of the MBD in P450 catalysis through studies of amino-terminal deletion mutants and site-directed spin labeling. We show that the MBD spans the membrane and present a model for the orientation of CYPOR on the membrane capable of forming a complex with cytochrome P450. EPR power saturation measurements of CYPOR mutants in liposomes containing a lipid/Ni(II) chelate identified a region of the soluble domain interacting with the membrane. The deletion of more than 29 residues from the N-terminus of CYPOR decreases cytochrome P450 activity concomitant with alterations in electrophoretic mobility and an increased resistance to protease digestion. The altered kinetic properties of these mutants are consistent with electron transfer through random collisions rather than via formation of a stable CYPOR-P450 complex. Purified MBD binds weakly to cytochrome P450, suggesting that other interactions are also required for CYPOR-P450 complex formation. We propose that the MBD and flexible tether region of CYPOR, residues 51-63, play an important role in facilitating the movement of the soluble domain relative to the membrane and in promoting multiple orientations that permit specific interactions of CYPOR with its varied partners.

Abstract
NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) is a redox partner of microsomal cytochromes P450 and is a prototype of the diflavin reductase family. CPR contains 3 distinct functional domains: a FMN-binding domain (acceptor reduction), a linker (hinge), and a connecting/FAD domain (NADPH oxidation). It has been demonstrated that the mechanism of CPR exhibits an important step in which it switches from a compact, closed conformation (locked state) to an ensemble of open conformations (unlocked state), the latter enabling electron transfer to redox partners. The conformational equilibrium between the locked and unlocked states has been shown to be highly dependent on ionic strength, reinforcing the hypothesis of the presence of critical salt interactions at the interface between the FMN and connecting FAD domains. Here we show that specific residues of the hinge segment are important in the control of the conformational equilibrium of CPR. We constructed six single mutants and two double mutants of the human CPR, targeting residues G240, S243, I245 and R246 of the hinge segment, with the aim of modifying the flexibility or the potential ionic interactions of the hinge segment. We measured the reduction of cytochrome c at various salt concentrations of these 8 mutants, either in the soluble or membrane-bound form of human CPR. All mutants were found capable of reducing cytochrome c yet with different efficiency and their maximal rates of cytochrome c reduction were shifted to lower salt concentration. In particular, residue R246 seems to play a key role in a salt bridge network present at the interface of the hinge and the connecting domain. Interestingly, the effects of mutations, although similar, demonstrated specific differences when present in the soluble or membrane-bound context. Our results demonstrate that the electrostatic and flexibility properties of the hinge segment are critical for electron transfer from CPR to its redox partners.

Abstract
In recent years, a growing appreciation has developed for the importance of protein-protein interactions to modulate the function of drug metabolizing enzymes. Accompanied with this appreciation, new methods and technologies have been designed for analyzing protein-protein interactions both in vitro and in vivo. These technologies have been applied to several classes of drug metabolizing enzymes, including: cytochrome P450's (CYPs), monoamine oxidases (MAOs), UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), and sulfotransferases (SULTs). In this review, we offer a brief description and assessment of the impact of many of these technologies to the study of protein-protein interactions in drug disposition. The still expanding list of these techniques and assays has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of how these enzymes carry out their important functions in vivo.

Abstract
Bioconjugation, defined as chemical modification of biomolecules, is widely employed in biological and biophysical studies. It can expand functional diversity and enable applications ranging from biocatalysis, biosensing and even therapy. This review summarizes how chemical modifications of cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s or CYPs) have contributed to improving our understanding of these enzymes. Genetic modifications of P450s have also proven very useful but are not covered in this review. Bioconjugation has served to gain structural information and investigate the mechanism of P450s via photoaffinity labeling, mechanism-based inhibition (MBI) and fluorescence studies. P450 surface acetylation and protein cross-linking have contributed to the investigation of protein complexes formation involving P450 and its redox partner or other P450 enzymes. Finally, covalent immobilization on polymer surfaces or electrodes has benefited the areas of biocatalysis and biosensor design. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Cytochrome P450 biodiversity and biotechnology, edited by Erika Plettner, Gianfranco Gilardi, Luet Wong, Vlada Urlacher, Jared Goldstone.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) is a diflavin enzyme that transfers electrons to many protein partners. Electron transfer from CPR to cyt c has been extensively used as a model reaction to assess the redox activity of CPR. CPR is composed of multiple domains, among which the FMN binding domain (FBD) is the direct electron donor to cyt c. Here, electron transfer and complex formation between FBD and cyt c are investigated. Electron transfer from FBD to cyt c occurs at distinct rates that are dependent on the redox states of FBD. When compared with full-length CPR, FBD reduces cyt c at a higher rate in both the semiquinone and hydroquinone states. The NMR titration experiments reveal the formation of dynamic complexes between FBD and cyt c on a fast exchange time scale. Chemical shift mapping identified residues of FBD involved in the binding interface with cyt c, most of which are located in proximity to the solvent-exposed edge of the FMN cofactor along with other residues distributed around the surface of FBD. The structural model of the FBD-cyt c complex indicates two possible orientations of complex formation. The major complex structure shows a salt bridge formation between Glu-213/Glu-214 of FBD and Lys-87 of cyt c, which may be essential for the formation of the complex, and a predicted electron transfer pathway mediated by Lys-13 of cyt c. The findings provide insights into the function of CPR and CPR-cyt c interaction on a structural basis.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is an enzyme that is essential for multiple metabolic processes, chiefly among them are reactions catalyzed by cytochrome P450 proteins for metabolism of steroid hormones, drugs and xenobiotics. Mutations in POR cause a complex set of disorders that often resemble defects in steroid metabolizing enzymes 17α-hydroxylase, 21-hydroxylase and aromatase. Since our initial reports of POR mutations in 2004, more than 200 different mutations and polymorphisms in POR gene have been identified. Several missense variations in POR have been tested for their effect on activities of multiple steroid and drug metabolizing P450 proteins. Mutations in POR may have variable effects on different P450 partner proteins depending on the location of the mutation. The POR mutations that disrupt the binding of co-factors have negative impact on all partner proteins, while mutations causing subtle structural changes may lead to altered interaction with specific partner proteins and the overall effect may be different for each partner. This review summarizes the recent discoveries related to mutations and polymorphisms in POR and discusses these mutations in the context of historical developments in the discovery and characterization of POR as an electron transfer protein. The review is focused on the structural, enzymatic and clinical implications of the mutations linked to newly identified disorders in humans, now categorized as POR deficiency.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP or P450)-mediated drug metabolism requires the interaction of P450s with their redox partner, cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR). In this work, we have investigated the role of P450 hydrophobic residues in complex formation with CPR and uncovered novel roles for the surface-exposed residues V267 and L270 of CYP2B4 in mediating CYP2B4--CPR interactions. Using a combination of fluorescence labeling and stopped-flow spectroscopy, we have investigated the basis for these interactions. Specifically, in order to study P450--CPR interactions, a single reactive cysteine was introduced in to a genetically engineered variant of CYP2B4 (C79SC152S) at each of seven strategically selected surface-exposed positions. Each of these cysteine residues was modified by reaction with fluorescein-5-maleimide (FM), and the CYP2B4-FM variants were then used to determine the K(d) of the complex by monitoring fluorescence enhancement in the presence of CPR. Furthermore, the intrinsic K(m) values of the CYP2B4 variants for CPR were measured, and stopped-flow spectroscopy was used to determine the intrinsic kinetics and the extent of reduction of the ferric P450 mutants to the ferrous P450--CO adduct by CPR. A comparison of the results from these three approaches reveals that the sites on P450 exhibiting the greatest changes in fluorescence intensity upon binding CPR are associated with the greatest increases in the K(m) values of the P450 variants for CPR and with the greatest decreases in the rates and extents of reduced P450--CO formation.

Abstract
We have incorporated CYP3A4 (cytochrome P450 3A4) and CPR (NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase) into liposomes with a high lipid/protein ratio by an improved method. In the purified proteoliposomes, CYP3A4 binds testosterone with Kd (app)=36±6 μM and Hill coefficient=1.5±0.3, and 75±4% of the CYP3A4 can be reduced by NADPH in the presence of testosterone. Transfer of the first electron from CPR to CYP3A4 was measured by stopped-flow, trapping the reduced CYP3A4 as its Fe(II)-CO complex and measuring the characteristic absorbance change. Rapid electron transfer is observed in the presence of testosterone, with the fast phase, representing 90% of the total absorbance change, having a rate of 14±2 s(-1). Measurements of the first electron transfer were performed at various molar ratios of CPR/CYP3A4 in proteoliposomes; the rate was unaffected, consistent with a model in which first electron transfer takes place within a relatively stable CPR-CYP3A4 complex. Steady-state rates of NADPH oxidation and of 6β-hydroxytestosterone formation were also measured as a function of the molar ratio of CPR/CYP3A4 in the proteoliposomes. These rates increased with increasing CPR/CYP3A4 ratio, showing a hyperbolic dependency indicating a Kd (app) of ~0.4 μM. This suggests that the CPR-CYP3A4 complex can dissociate and reform between the first and second electron transfers.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the combined presence of two cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) can affect the function of both enzymes, results that are consistent with the formation of heteromeric P450.P450 complexes. The goal of this study was to provide direct evidence for a physical interaction between P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) and P450 2B4 (CYP2B4), by determining if the interactions required both enzymes to reside in the same lipid vesicles. When NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and a single P450 were incorporated into separate vesicles, extremely slow reduction rates were observed, demonstrating that the enzymes were anchored in the vesicles. Next, several reconstituted systems were prepared: 1) CPR.CYP1A2, 2) CPR.CYP2B4, 3) a mixture of CPR.CYP1A2 vesicles with CPR.CYP2B4 vesicles, and 4) CPR.CYP1A2.CYP2B4 in the same vesicles (ternary system). When in the ternary system, CYP2B4-mediated metabolism was significantly inhibited, and CYP1A2 activities were stimulated by the presence of the alternate P450. In contrast, P450s in separate vesicles were unable to interact. These data demonstrate that P450s must be in the same vesicles to alter metabolism. Additional evidence for a physical interaction among CPR, CYP1A2, and CYP2B4 was provided by cross-linking with bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate. The results showed that after cross-linking, antibody to CYP1A2 was able to co-immunoprecipitate CYP2B4 but only when both proteins were in the same phospholipid vesicles. These results clearly demonstrate that the alterations in P450 function require both P450s to be present in the same vesicles and support a mechanism whereby P450s form a physical complex in the membrane.

Abstract
We studied the kinetics of NADPH-dependent reduction of human CYP3A4 incorporated into Nanodiscs (CYP3A4-ND) and proteoliposomes in order to probe the effect of P450 oligomerization on its reduction. The flavin domain of cytochrome P450-BM3 (BMR) was used as a model electron donor partner. Unlike CYP3A4 oligomers, where only 50% of the enzyme was shown to be reducible by BMR, CYP3A4-ND could be reduced almost completely. High reducibility was also observed in proteoliposomes with a high lipid-to-protein ratio (L/P=910), where the oligomerization equilibrium is displaced towards monomers. In contrast, the reducibililty in proteoliposomes with L/P=76 did not exceed 55+/-6%. The effect of the surface density of CYP3A4 in proteoliposomes on the oligomerization equilibrium was confirmed with a FRET-based assay employing a cysteine-depleted mutant labeled on Cys-468 with BODIPY iodoacetamide. These results confirm a pivotal role of CYP3A4 oligomerization in its functional heterogeneity. Furthermore, the investigation of the initial phase of the kinetics of CYP3A4 reduction showed that the addition of NADPH causes a rapid low-to-high-spin transition in the CYP3A4-BMR complex, which is followed by a partial slower reversal. This observation reveals a mechanism whereby the CYP3A4 spin equilibrium is modulated by the redox state of the bound flavoprotein.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 proteins are involved in metabolism of drugs and xenobiotics. In the endoplasmic reticulum a single nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) P450 oxidoreductase (POR) supplies electrons to all microsomal P450s for catalytic activity. POR is a flavoprotein that contains both flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide as cofactors and uses NADPH as the source of electrons. We have recently reported a number of POR mutations in the patients with disordered steroidogenesis. In the first report we had described missense mutations (A287P, R457H, V492E, C569Y, and V608F) identified in four patients with defects in steroid production. Each POR variant was produced as recombinant N-27 form of the enzyme in bacteria and as full-length form in yeast. Membranes from bacteria or yeast expressing normal or variant POR were purified and their activities were characterized in cytochrome c and CYP17A1 assays. Later we have published a larger study that described a whole range of POR mutations and characterized the mutants/polymorphisms A115V, T142A, M263V, Y459H, A503V, G539R, L565P, R616X, V631I, and F646del from the sequencing of patient DNA. We also studied POR variants Y181D, P228L, R316W, G413S, and G504R that were available in public databases or published literature. Three-dimensional structure of rat POR is known and we have used this structure to deduce the structure-function correlation of POR mutations in human. The missense mutations found in patients with disordered steroidogenesis are generally in the co-factor binding and functionally important domains of POR and the apparent polymorphisms are found in regions with lesser structural importance. A variation in POR can alter the activity of all microsomal P450s, and therefore, can affect the metabolism of drugs and xenobiotics even when the P450s involved are otherwise normal. It is important to study the genetic and biochemical basis of POR variants in human population to gain information about possible differences in P450 mediated reactions among the individuals carrying a variant or polymorphic form of POR that could impact their metabolism.

Abstract
To explore the basis of apparent conformational heterogeneity of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), the kinetics of dithionite-dependent reduction was studied in solution, in proteoliposomes, and in Nanodiscs. In CYP3A4 oligomers in solution the kinetics obeys a three-exponential equation with similar amplitudes of each of the phases. Addition of substrate (bromocriptine) displaces the phase distribution toward the slow phase at the expense of the fast one, while the middle phase remains unaffected. The fraction reduced in the fast phase, either with or without substrate, is represented by the low-spin heme protein only, while the slow-reducible fraction is enriched in the high-spin CYP3A4. Upon monomerization by 0.15% Emulgen-913, or by incorporation into Nanodiscs or into large proteoliposomes with a high lipid-to-protein (L/P) ratio (726:1 mol/mol), the kinetics observed in the absence of substrate becomes very rapid and virtually monoexponential. In Nanodiscs and in lipid-rich liposomes bromocriptine decreases the rate of reduction via appearance of the second (slow) phase, the amplitude of which reaches 100% at saturating bromocriptine. In contrast, in P450-rich liposomes (L/P = 112 mol/mol), where the surface molar density of the enzyme is comparable to that observed in liver microsomes, CYP3A4 behaves similarly to that observed in solution. These results suggest that in CYP3A4 oligomers in solution and in the membrane the enzyme is distributed between two persistent conformers with different accessibility of the heme for the reductant (SO*-(2) anion monomer). One of the apparent conformers exists in a substrate-dependent equilibrium between two states with different rate constants of reduction by dithionite, while the second conformer shows no response to substrate binding.

Abstract
The interactions between the hemoprotein cytochrome P450 2B4 (CYP 2B4) and riboflavin - a low molecular weight component of the flavoprotein NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase - were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. Riboflavin fluorescence quenching by cytochrome P450 2B4 was used to probe the ligand-enzyme binding (lambda(ex)=385 nm, lambda(em)=520 nm). Fluorescence titration experiments showed formation of a complex between cytochrome P450 2B4 and riboflavin with an apparent dissociation constant value, K(d)=8.8+/-1 microM. The fluorescence intensity of riboflavin was decreased with increasing the cytochrome P450 2B4 concentration, indicating the transfer of resonance excitation energy from riboflavin (energy donor) to the cytochrome P450 2B4 heme (energy acceptor). The data obtained are suggestive of the existence of riboflavin binding site(s) on the hemeprotein molecule.

Abstract
Dissociation constants K(d) for cytochrome P450 reductase (reductase) and cytochrome P450 2B4 are measured in the presence of various substrates. Aminopyrine increases the dissociation constant for binding of the two proteins. Furthermore, cytochrome b(5) (b(5)) stimulates metabolism of this substrate and dramatically decreases the substrate-related K(d) values. Experiments are performed to test if the b(5)-mediated stimulation is effected through a conformational change of P450. The effects of a redox-inactive analogue of b(5) (Mn b(5)) on product formation and reaction stoichiometry are determined. Variations in the concentration of Mn b(5) stock solution that have been shown to effect the aggregation state of the protein alter the rate of P450-mediated NADPH oxidation but have no effect on the rate of product formation. Thus, the electron transfer capability of b(5) is necessary for stimulation of metabolism. Furthermore, stopped flow spectrometry measurements of the rate of first electron reduction of the P450 by reductase indicate that the coupling of P450 2B4-mediated metabolism improves, in the presence of Mn b(5), with slower delivery of the first electron of the catalytic cycle by the reductase. These results are consistent with a model involving the regulation of the P450 catalytic cycle by conformational changes of the P450 enzyme. We propose that the conformational change(s) necessary for progression of the catalytic cycle is inhibited when reduced, but not oxidized, reductase is bound to the P450.

Abstract
The pre-steady-state reduction of cytochrome P450 (P450) 2B4 by P450 reductase (reductase) was modeled by assuming that an equilibrium between three catalytic conformers of P450 regulates the multi-phasic reduction of the enzyme. This model was compared to a model of reduction involving a minimum number of phases. Based on several criteria, the former model seems to provide an improved fit to the reduction data. Substrates were divided into two groups based on their effects at different concentrations of reductase. Surprisingly, in the presence of some substrates (group 1) but not others (group 2), the rate of reduction was actually slower with an excess of reductase than with equimolar reductase and P450. Presumably, oxidized reductase binds differently to P450 than reduced reductase. A schematic model based on two sites of interaction between reductase and P450 2B4 is offered to explain the unusual reduction kinetics with the two different groups of substrates.

Abstract
The problem of donor-acceptor recognition has been the most important and intriguing one in the area of P450 research. The present review outlines the topological background of electron-transfer complex formation, showing that the progress in collaborative investigations, combining physical techniques with chemical-modification and immunolocalization studies as well as site-directed mutagenesis experiments, has increasingly enabled the substantiation of hypothetical work resulting from homology modelling of P450s. Circumstantial analysis reveals the contact regions for redox proteins to cluster on the proximal face of P450s, constituting parts of the highly conserved, heme-binding core fold. However, more variable structural components located in the periphery of the hemoprotein molecules also participate in donor docking. The cross-reactivity of electron carriers, purified from pro- and eukaryotic sources, with a diversity of P450 species points at a possible evolutionary conservation of common anchoring domains. While electrostatic mechanisms appear to dominate orientation toward each other of the redox partners to generate pre-collisional encounter complexes, hydrophobic forces are likely to foster electron transfer events by through-bonding or pi-stacking interactions. Moreover, electron-tunneling pathways seem to be operative as well. The availability of new P450 crystal structures together with improved validation strategies will undoubtedly permit the production of increasingly satisfactory three-dimensional donor-acceptor models serving to better understand the molecular principles governing functional association of the redox proteins.

Abstract
Human heme oxygenase-1 (hHO-1) catalyzes the NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase-dependent oxidation of heme to biliverdin, CO, and free iron. The biliverdin is subsequently reduced to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Earlier kinetic studies suggested that biliverdin reductase facilitates the release of biliverdin from hHO-1 (Liu, Y., and Ortiz de Montellano, P. R. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 5297-5307). We have investigated the binding of P450 reductase and biliverdin reductase to truncated, soluble hHO-1 by fluorescence resonance energy transfer and site-specific mutagenesis. P450 reductase and biliverdin reductase bind to truncated hHO-1 with Kd = 0.4 +/- 0.1 and 0.2 +/- 0.1 microm, respectively. FRET experiments indicate that biliverdin reductase and P450 reductase compete for binding to truncated hHO-1. Mutation of surface ionic residues shows that hHO-1 residues Lys18, Lys22, Lys179, Arg183, Arg198, Glu19, Glu127, and Glu190 contribute to the binding of cytochrome P450 reductase. The mutagenesis results and a computational analysis of the protein surfaces partially define the binding site for P450 reductase. An overlapping binding site including Lys18, Lys22, Lys179, Arg183, and Arg185 is similarly defined for biliverdin reductase. These results confirm the binding of biliverdin reductase to hHO-1 and define binding sites of the two reductases.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions form the proteinaceous network, which plays a central role in numerous processes in the cell. This review highlights the main structures, properties of contact surfaces, and forces involved in protein-protein interactions. The properties of protein contact surfaces depend on their functions. The characteristics of contact surfaces of short-lived protein complexes share some similarities with the active sites of enzymes. The contact surfaces of permanent complexes resemble domain contacts or the protein core. It is reasonable to consider protein-protein complex formation as a continuation of protein folding. The contact surfaces of the protein complexes have unique structure and properties, so they represent prospective targets for a new generation of drugs. During the last decade, numerous investigations have been undertaken to find or design small molecules that block protein dimerization or protein(peptide)-receptor interaction, or on the other hand, induce protein dimerization.

Abstract
Benzoate-para-hydroxylase (CYP51A or BpH) and NADPH:cytochrome P450 reductase from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger were purified to apparent homogeneity, using an overproducing A. niger strain. This is the first membrane-bound fungal cytochrome P450 to be isolated and characterized. Combining BpH with NADPH:cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase in the presence of the phospholipid dilauryl phosphatidylcholine restored the BpH activity, although to only a minor extent. Spectral analysis of BpH showed characteristic spectra for a cytochrome P450. Substrate binding studies with purified BpH as a function of temperature and as a function of pH were performed. Temperature-dependent studies, at pH 8.0, showed that the simplified spin equilibrium model originally proposed for camphor binding to cytochrome P450cam (M. T. Fisher and S. G. Sligar, 1987, Biochemistry 26, 4797-4803) also applies to the benzoate-BpH system. Two equilibrium constants were determined, K(1) for substrate binding without a spin change and K(2) for the spin change of the benzoate-BpH complex. pH-dependent binding studies showed that both K(1) and K(2) increase with pH, indicative of a higher affinity. As K(1) decreases more strongly with pH than K(2), we suggest that benzoate first binds to a binding site on the outside of the protein in a pH-dependent way, followed by transfer to the inside of the protein causing a spin change at the heme iron. The strong pH dependence of K(1) could be the result of the need to break salt bridges at the binding site on the outside of the protein. pH-dependent kinetic studies with microsomes showed that the apparent K(M) values followed the trend observed for benzoate binding to purified BpH, while k(cat) values were virtually constant between pH 6.6 and 8.0 and decreased above pH 8, probably due to loss of productive interaction between BpH and NADPH:cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase. Research into the substrate specificity of BpH showed that BpH can only use benzoic acid and some of its derivatives. Monosubstitution on the phenyl ring is allowed but only at certain positions with specific, not too large groups. Substitution always leads to a lower affinity of the substrate. With one exception, all substrates were converted to their 4-hydroxy derivative. The exception, 3-methoxybenzoate, was demethylated to yield 3-hydroxybenzoate only. The restricted number of substrates and the specificity in catalysis suggest that BpH is not a general-purpose hydroxylase but that its role is confined to benzoate hydroxylation in the beta-ketoadipate pathway of A. niger.

Abstract
Allosteric regulation of monooxygenase activity is shown to occur with diverse cytochrome P450 isoforms and is characterized by kinetic patterns deviating from the Michaelis-Menten model. Homotropic and heterotropic phenomena are encountered in both substrate activation and productive coupling of the electron donors NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and cytochrome b5, and the lipid environment of the system also appears to play a role as an effector. Circumstantial analysis reveals the components of the electron transfer chain to be mutually beneficial in interactions with each other depending on the substrate used and type of cytochrome P450 operative. It is noteworthy that association of diatomic gaseous ligands may be amenable to allosteric regulation as well. Thus, dioxygen binding to cytochrome P450 displays nonhyperbolic kinetic profiles in the presence of certain substrates; the latter, together with redox proteins such as cytochrome b5, can exert efficient control of the abortive breakdown of the oxyferrous intermediates formed. Similarly, substrates may modulate the structural features of the access channel for solutes such as carbon monoxide in specific cytochrome P450 isozymes to either facilitate or impair ligand diffusion to the heme iron. The in vivo importance of allosteric regulation of enzyme activity is discussed in detail.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2B4 (CYP2B4) lacking the NH(2)-terminal signal anchor sequence (2-27) was used to study the impact of replacement of histidine with alanine at position 285 on electron transfer from NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (P450R). Absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the recombinant hemoproteins indicated that amino acid substitution neither grossly perturbed the geometry of the immediate heme vicinity nor the global polypeptide backbone folding. Fitting of the initial-velocity patterns of P450R-directed reduction of the ferric CYP2B4 (2-27) forms to the Michaelis-Menten kinetics revealed an approximately 3.5-fold increase in the apparent K(m) value for the electron donor of the H285A mutant, while its reductive capacity (V(max)) remained unchanged; this caused a strong drop in reductive efficiency of the engineered enzyme. Circumstantial analysis suggested that impaired association of the redox partners accounted for this phenomenon. Thus, deletion of the positive charge at position 285 of CYP2B4 (2-27) might have disrupted contacts with oppositely charged entities on the P450R surface. Measurements of the stoichiometry of aerobic NADPH consumption and H(2)O(2) production disclosed the oxyferrous H285A species to autoxidize more readily compared with the shortened wild type. This was assumed to arise from less efficient coupling of the system due to defective donation of the second electron by P450R. These results are consistent with the view that His-285 in the truncated CYP2B4 is of importance in the functional interaction with the flavoprotein reductase.

Abstract
The optical biosensor study of interaction between microsomal proteins-NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, cytochrome P450 2B4, and cytochrome b5-was carried out in the monomeric reconstituted system in the absence of phospholipids. The formation of individual complexes was kinetically characterized and their association and dissociation rate constants were determined. The association rate constants for the complexes formed were found to be close to the diffusiion limit-(0.5-4) x 10(6) M-1 s-1-while their dissociation rate constants did not exceed 0.5 s-1. It was shown that the interprotein electron transfer can occur both through complex formation and due to random collision. The dominant role of hydrophobic membraneous protein fragments in formation of productive electron transfer complexes was demonstrated.
