Thermodynamic and biophysical characterization of cytochrome p450 BioI from Bacillus subtilis
2004
Cytochrome P450 BioI (CYP107H1) from Bacillus subtilis is involved in the early stages of biotin synthesis. Previous studies have indicated that BioI can hydroxylate fatty acids and may also perform an acyl bond cleavage reaction [Green, A. J., Rivers, S. L., Cheesman, M., Reid, G. A., Quaroni, L. G., Macdonald, I. D. G., Chapman, S. K., and Munro, A. W. (2001) J. Biol. Inorg. Chem. 6, 523−533. Stok, J. E., and De Voss, J. J. (2000) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 384, 351−360]. Here we show novel binding features of P450 BioIspecifically that it binds steroids (including testosterone and progesterone) and polycyclic azole drugs with similar affinity to that for fatty acids (Kd values in the range 0.1−160 μM). Sigmoidal binding curves for titration of BioI with azole drugs suggests a cooperative process in this case. BioI as isolated from Escherichia coli is in a mixed heme iron spin state. Alteration of the pH of the buffer system affects the heme iron spin-state equilibrium (higher pH increasing the low-spin co...
