Abstract
- The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase P450 BM3 (BM3) is a biotechnologically important and versatile enzyme capable of producing important compounds such as the medical drugs pravastatin and artemether, and the steroid hormone testosterone. BM3 is a natural fusion enzyme comprising two major domains: a cytochrome P450 (heme-binding) catalytic domain and a NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) domain containing FAD andFMNcofactors in distinct domains of the CPR. A crystal structure of full-length BM3 enzyme is not available in its monomeric or catalytically active dimeric state. In this study, we provide detailed insights into the protein-protein interactions that occur between domains in the BM3 enzyme and characterize molecular interactions within the BM3 dimer by using several hybrid mass spectrometry (MS) techniques, namely native ion mobility MS (IM-MS), collision-induced unfolding (CIU), and hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS (HDX-MS). These methods enable us to probe the structure, stoichiometry, and domain interactions in the ~240 kDa BM3 dimeric complex. We obtained high-sequence coverage (88-99%) in the HDX-MS experiments for full-length BM3 and its component domains in both the ligand-free and ligand-bound states. We identified important protein interaction sites, in addition to sites corresponding to heme-CPR domain interactions at the dimeric interface. These findings bring us closer to understanding the structure and catalytic mechanism of P450 BM3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
