Abstract:
:Cytochrome P450 enzymes catalyze the degradation of drugs and xenobiotics, but also catalyze a wide variety of biosynthetic processes, including most steps in steroidogenesis. The catalytic rate of a P450 enzyme is determined in large part by the rate of electron transfer from its redox partners. Type I P450 enzymes, found in mitochondria, receive electrons from reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADPH) via the intermediacy of two proteins-ferredoxin reductase (a flavoprotein) and ferredoxin (an iron/sulfur protein). Type I P450 enzymes include the cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc), the two isozymes of 11-hydroxylase (P450c11beta and P450c11AS), and several vitamin D-metabolizing enzymes. Disorders of these enzymes, but not of the two redox partners, have been described. Type II P450 enzymes, found in the endoplasmic reticulum, receive electrons from NADPH via P450 oxidoreductase (POR), which contains two flavin moieties. Steroidogenic Type II P450 enzymes include 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase (P450c17), 21-hydroxylase (P450c21), and aromatase (P450aro). All P450 enzymes catalyze multiple reactions, but P450c17 appears to be unique in that the ratio of its activities is regulated at a posttranslational level. Three factors can increase the degree of 17,20 lyase activity relative to the 17alpha-hydroxylase activity by increasing electron flow from POR: a high molar ratio of POR to P450c17, serine phosphorylation of P450c17, and the presence of cytochrome b(5), acting as an allosteric factor to promote the interaction of POR with P450c17. POR is required for the activity of all 50 human Type II P450 enzymes, and ablation of the Por gene in mice causes embryonic lethality. Nevertheless, mutation of the human POR gene is compatible with life, causing multiple steroidogenic defects and a skeletal dysplasia called Antley-Bixler syndrome.
