The structural basis of cooperativity of progesterone hydroxylation
catalyzed by human cytochrome P450 3A4 has been investigated. A recent
study suggested that substitution of larger side chains at positions
Leu-211 and Asp-214 partially mimics the action of effector by reducing
the size of the active site. Based on predictions from molecular
modeling that Phe-304 in the highly conserved I helix is involved in
both effector and substrate binding, a tryptophan residue was
substituted at this position. The purified F304W mutant displayed
hyperbolic progesterone hydroxylase kinetics, indicating a lack of
homotropic cooperativity. However, the mutant remained responsive to
stimulation by
-naphthoflavone, exhibiting a 2-fold decrease in the
Km value for progesterone 6
-hydroxylation
in the presence of 25 µM effector. Combining substitutions to yield the triple mutant L211F/D214E/F304W maintained the
Vmax and decreased the
Km for progesterone 6
-hydroxylation,
minimized stimulation by
-naphthoflavone, and decreased the rate of
-naphthoflavone oxidation to one-eighth of the wild type.
Interestingly, the
Amax for spectral
binding of
-naphthoflavone was unaltered in L211F/D214E/F304W. Overall, the results suggest that progesterone and
-naphthoflavone are oxidized at separate locations within the P450 3A4 binding pocket,
although both substrates appear to have equal access to the reactive oxygen.
