Structural and Kinetic Studies of Asp632 Mutants and Fully Reduced NADPH-Cytochrome P450 Oxidoreductase Define the Role of Asp632 Loop Dynamics in the Control of NADPH Binding and Hydride Transfer.

ABSTRACT: Conformational changes in NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR) associated with electron transfer from NADPH to electron acceptors via FAD and FMN have been investigated via structural studies of the four-electron-reduced NADP+-bound enzyme and kinetic and structural studies of mutants that affect the conformation of the mobile Gly631-Asn635 loop (Asp632 loop). The structure of four-electron-reduced, NADP+-bound wild type CYPOR shows the plane of the nicotinamide ring positioned perpendicular to the FAD isoalloxazine with its carboxamide group forming H-bonds with N1 of the flavin ring and the Thr535 hydroxyl group. In the reduced enzyme, the C8-C8 atoms of the two flavin rings are ?1 Å closer than in the fully oxidized and one-electron-reduced structures, which suggests that flavin reduction facilitates interflavin electron transfer. Structural and kinetic studies of mutants Asp632Ala, Asp632Phe, Asp632Asn, and Asp632Glu demonstrate that the carboxyl group of Asp632 is important for stabilizing the Asp632 loop in a retracted position that is required for the binding of the NADPH ribityl-nicotinamide in a hydride-transfer-competent conformation. Structures of the mutants and reduced wild type CYPOR permit us to identify a possible pathway for NADP(H) binding to and release from CYPOR. Asp632 mutants unable to form stable H-bonds with the backbone amides of Arg634, Asn635, and Met636 exhibit decreased catalytic activity and severely impaired hydride transfer from NADPH to FAD, but leave interflavin electron transfer intact. Intriguingly, the Arg634Ala mutation slightly increases the cytochrome P450 2B4 activity. We propose that Asp632 loop movement, in addition to facilitating NADP(H) binding and release, participates in domain movements modulating interflavin electron transfer.

Project description:The influence of the side chains and positioning of the carboxy-terminal residues of NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR) on catalytic activity, structure of the carboxy terminus, and interaction with cofactors has been investigated. A tandem deletion of residues Asp675 and Val676, that was expected to shift the position of the functionally important Trp677, resulted in higher cytochrome c reductase activity than that expected from previous studies on the importance of Asp675 and Trp677 in catalysis. Crystallographic determination of the structure of this variant revealed two conformations of the carboxy terminus. In one conformation (Mol A), the last α-helix is partially unwound, resulting in repositioning of all subsequent residues in β-strand 21, from Arg671 to Leu674 (corresponding to Ser673 and Val676 in the wild type structure). This results in the two C-terminal residues, Trp677 and Ser678, being maintained in their wild type positions, with the indole ring of Trp677 stacked against the isoalloxazine ring of FAD as seen in the wild type structure, and Ser673 occupying a similar position to the catalytic residue, Asp675. The other, more disordered conformation is a mixture of the Mol A conformation and one in which the last α-helix is not unwound and the nicotinamide ring is in one of two conformations, out towards the protein surface as observed in the wild type structure (1AMO), or stacked against the flavin ring, similar to that seen in the W677X structure that lacks Trp677 and Ser678 (1JA0). Further kinetic analysis on additional variants showed deletion or substitution of alanine or glycine for Trp677 in conjunction with deletion of Ser678 produced alterations in interactions of CYPOR with NADP+, 2'5'-ADP, and 2'-AMP, as well as the pH dependence of cytochrome c reductase activity. We postulate that deletion of bulky residues at the carboxy terminus permits increased mobility leading to decreased affinity for the 2'5'-ADP and 2'-AMP moieties of NADP+ and subsequent domain movement.
