Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is one of the most important cytochromes P450 in humans. Resonance Raman data from the T309V mutant of CYP2D6 show that the substitution of the conserved I-helix threonine situated in the enzyme's active site perturbs the heme spin equilibrium in favor of the six-coordinated low-spin species. A mechanistic hypothesis is introduced to explain the experimental observations, and its compatibility with the available structural and spectroscopic data is tested using quantum-mechanical density functional theory calculations on active-site models for both the CYP2D6 wild type and the T309V mutant.
细胞色素P450 2D6(CYP2D6)是人体内最重要的细胞色素P450之一。来自CYP2D6的T309V突变体的共振拉曼数据表明,位于酶活性位点的保守I-螺旋苏氨酸的取代扰乱了血红素自旋平衡,有利于六配位低自旋物种。引入了一个机理假设来解释实验观察结果,并使用对CYP2D6野生型和T309V突变体的活性位点模型进行的量子力学密度泛函理论计算,来测试其与现有结构和光谱数据的兼容性。
