Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) displays non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics for many of the substrates it metabolizes, including testosterone (TST) and α-naphthoflavone (ANF). Heterotropic effects between these two substrates can further complicate the metabolic profile of the enzyme. In this work, monomeric CYP3A4 solubilized in Nanodiscs has been studied for its ability to interact with varying molar ratios of ANF and TST. Comparison of the observed heme spin state, NADPH consumption, and product formation rates with a non-cooperative model calculated from a linear combination of the global analysis of each substrate reveals a detailed landscape of the heterotropic interactions and indicates negligible binding cooperativity between ANF and TST. The observed effect of ANF on the kinetics of TST metabolism is due to the additive action of the second substrate with no specific allosteric effects.
细胞色素 P450 3A4(CYP3A4)对其代谢的许多底物表现出非米氏动力学,包括睾酮(TST)和α-萘黄酮(ANF)。这两种底物之间的变构效应会进一步使酶的代谢谱复杂化。在这项工作中,研究了在 Nanodiscs 中溶解的单体 CYP3A4 与不同摩尔比的 ANF 和 TST 相互作用的能力。通过对每个底物的全局分析的线性组合计算出的非协同模型与观察到的血红素自旋态、NADPH 消耗和产物形成速率进行比较,揭示了变构相互作用的详细情况,并表明 ANF 和 TST 之间几乎没有结合协同性。观察到的 ANF 对 TST 代谢动力学的影响是由于第二个底物的加和作用,没有特定的变构效应。
