We demonstrate the in vitro synthesis of cytochrome P-450-LM2 (phenobarbital-inducible form of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450) from a rabbit liver polysomal mRNA template by specific immunoprecipitation of the product. The in vitro synthesized cytochrome P-450-LM2 comigrates with authentic cytochrome P-450-LM2 on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels, and is also selectively competed by authentic purified cytochrome P-450-LM2. In addition, we demonstrate that phenobarbital increases the amount of translatable mRNA for cytochrome P-450-LM2 but not for albumin, suggesting that phenobarbital has selective effects on the amount of available translatable mRNA or on mRNA biosynthesis.

Cytochrome P450 2B4 (CYP 2B4) is one of the best-characterized CYPs and serves as a key model system for understanding the mechanisms of microsomal class II CYPs, which metabolize most known drugs. The highly flexible nature of CYP 2B4 is apparent from crystal structures that show the active site with either a wide open or a closed heme binding cavity. Here, we investigated the conformational ensemble of the full-length CYP 2B4 in a phospholipid bilayer, using multiresolution molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

The diflavin NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CYPOR) plays a critical role in human cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity by sequentially delivering two electrons from NADPH to CYP enzymes during catalysis. Although electron transfer to forty-eight human CYP enzymes by the FMN hydroquinone of CYPOR is well-known, the role of the linker between the NH-terminus membrane-binding domain (MBD) and FMN domain in supporting the activity of P450 enzymes remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that a linker with at least eight residues is required to form a functional CYPOR-CYP2B4 complex.

The catalytic activity of cytochrome P450 2B4 (CYP2B4) is moderated by its cognate redox partner cytochrome b5 (Cyt-b). The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and intermolecular transmembrane (TM) interaction between CYP2B4 and Cyt-b regulate the substrate catalysis and the reaction rate. This emphasizes the significance of elucidating the molecular basis of CYP2B4 and Cyt-b complexation in a membrane environment to better understand the enzymatic activity of CYP2B4.

Cytochrome P450 reductase (CYPOR) provides electrons to all human microsomal cytochrome P450s (cyt P450s). The length and sequence of the "140s" FMN binding loop of CYPOR has been shown to be a key determinant of its redox potential and activity with cyt P450s. Shortening the "140s loop" by deleting glycine-141(ΔGly141) and by engineering a second mutant that mimics flavo-cytochrome P450 BM3 (ΔGly141/Glu142Asn) resulted in mutants that formed an unstable anionic semiquinone.

Interactions of membrane-bound mammalian cytochromes P450 (CYPs) with NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR), which are required for metabolism of xenobiotics, are facilitated by membrane lipids. A variety of membrane mimetics, such as phospholipid liposomes and nanodiscs, have been used to simulate the membrane to form catalytically active CYP:POR complexes. However, the exact mechanism(s) of these interactions are unclear because of the absence of structural information of full-length mammalian CYP:POR complexes in membranes.
