Effect of redox partner binding on CYP101D1 conformational dynamics.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We have compared the thermodynamics of substrate and redox partner binding of P450cam to its close homologue, CYP101D1, using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). CYP101D1 binds camphor about 10-fold more weakly than P450cam which is consistent with the inability of camphor to cause a complete low- to high-spin shift in CYP101D1. Even so molecular dynamics simulations show that camphor is very stable in the CYP101D1 active site similar to P450cam. ITC data on the binding of the CYP101D1 ferredoxin redox partner (abbreviated Arx) shows that the substrate-bound closed state of CYP101D1 binds Arx more tightly than the substrate-free open form. This is just the opposite to P450cam where Pdx (ferredoxin redox partner of P450cam) favors binding to the P450cam open state. In addition, CYP101D1-Arx binding has a large negative ?S while the P450cam-Pdx has a much smaller ?S indicating that interactions at the docking interface are different. The most obvious difference is that PDXD38 which forms an important ion pair with P450camR112 at the center of the interface is ArxL39 in Arx. This suggests that Arx may adopt a different orientation than Pdx in order to optimize nonpolar interactions with ArxL39.
