P450BM-3: reduction by NADPH and sodium dithionite.

Abstract：

:Microsomal P450s catalyze the monooxygenation of a large variety of hydrophobic compounds, including drugs, steroids, carcinogens, and fatty acids. The interaction of microsomal P450s with their electron transfer partner, NADPH-P450 reductase, during the transfer of electrons from NADPH to P450, for oxygen activation, may be important in regulating this enzyme system. Highly purified Bacillus megaterium P450BM-3 is catalytically self-sufficient and contains both the reductase and P450 domains on a single polypeptide chain of approximately 120,000 Da. The two domains of P450BM-3 appear to be analogous in their function and homologous in their sequence to the microsomal P450 system components. FAD, FMN, and heme residues are present in equimolar amounts in purified P450BM-3 and, therefore, this protein could potentially accept five electron equivalents per mole of enzyme during a reductive titration. The titration of P450BM-3 with sodium dithionite under a carbon monoxide atmosphere was complete with the addition of the expected five electron equivalents. The intermediate spectra indicate that the heme iron is reduced first, followed by the flavin residues. Titration of the protein with the physiological reductant, NADPH, also required approximately five electron equivalents when the reaction was performed under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide. Under an atmosphere of argon and in the absence of carbon monoxide, one of the flavin groups was reduced prior to the reduction of the heme group. The titration behavior of P450BM-3 with NADPH was surprising because no spectral changes characteristic of flavin semiquinone intermediates were observed. The results of the titration with NADPH can only be explained if (a) there was "rapid" intermolecular electron transfer between P450BM-3 molecules, (b) there is no kinetic barrier to the reduction of P450 by the one-electron-reduced form of the reductase, and (c) the "air-stable semiquinone" form of the reductase does not accumulate in this complex multidomain enzyme.
