The intriguing deactivation of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B4 enzyme induced by mutation of a single residue, Phe429 to His, is explored by quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical calculations of the O-OH bond activation of the (Fe(3+)OOH)(-) intermediate. It is found that the F429H mutant of CYP 2B4 undergoes homolytic instead of heterolytic O-OH bond cleavage. Thus, the mutant acquires the following characteristics of a heme oxygenase enzyme: (a) donation by His429 of an additional NH---S H-bond to the cysteine ligand combined with the presence of the substrate retards the heterolytic cleavage and gives rise to homolytic O-OH cleavage, and (b) the Thr302/water cluster orients nascent OH(•) and ensures efficient meso hydroxylation.
通过对(Fe(3+)OOH)(-)中间物的 O-OH 键活化的量子力学/分子力学计算,探究了单个残基 Phe429 突变为 His 后细胞色素 P450(CYP)2B4 酶的有趣失活。结果发现,CYP 2B4 的 F429H 突变体经历均裂而不是异裂 O-OH 键裂解。因此,突变体获得了血红素加氧酶酶的以下特征:(a) His429 向半胱氨酸配体提供额外的 NH---S H 键结合与底物的存在,延缓了异裂裂解并导致均裂 O-OH 裂解,和 (b) Thr302/水簇使新生的 OH(•)取向并确保有效的间位羟化。
