Abstract:
:Cytochrome b5 reductase (cb5r), a member of the ferredoxin:NADP+ reductase family of flavoprotein transhydrogenases, catalyzes the NADH-dependent reduction of cytochrome b5. Within this family, a conserved "GxGxxP" sequence motif has been implicated in binding reduced pyridine nucleotides. However, Glycine 179, a conserved residue in cb5r primary structures, precedes this six-residue "180GxGxxP185" motif that has been identified as binding the adenosine moiety of NADH. To investigate the role of G179 in NADH complex formation and NAD(P)H specificity, a series of rat cb5r variants were generated, corresponding to G179A, G179P, G179T, and G179V, recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Each mutant protein was found to incorporate FAD in a 1:1 cofactor/protein stoichiometry and exhibited absorption and CD spectra that were identical to those of wild-type cb5r, indicating both correct protein folding and similar flavin environments, while oxidation-reduction potentials for the FAD/FADH2 couple (n = 2) were also comparable to the wild-type protein (E(o)' = -272 mV). All four mutants showed decreased NADH:ferricyanide reductase activities, with kcat decreasing in the order WT > G179A > G179P > G179T > G179V, with the G179V variant retaining only 1.5% of the wild-type activity. The affinity for NADH also decreased in the order WT > G179A > G179P > G179T > G179V, with the Km(NADH) for G179V 180-fold greater than that of the wild type. Both Ks(H4NAD) and Ks(NAD+) values confirmed that the G179 mutants had both compromised NADH- and NAD+-binding affinities. Determination of the NADH/NADPH specificity constant for the various mutants indicated that G179 also participated in pyridine nucleotide selectivity, with the G179V variant preferring NADPH approximately 8000 times more than wild-type cb5r. These results demonstrated that, while G179 was not critical for either flavin incorporation or maintenance of the appropriate flavin environment in cb5r, G179 was required for both effective NADH/NADPH selectivity and to maintain the correct orientation and position of the conserved cysteine in the proline-rich "CGpppM" motif that is critical for optimum NADH binding and efficient hydride transfer.
