Lipids are critical for the function of membrane proteins. NADPH-cytochrome-P450-reductase, the sole electron transferase for microsomal oxygenases, possesses a conformational dynamics entwined with its topology. Here, we use peptide-nanodiscs to unveil cytochrome-P450-reductase's lipid boundaries, demonstrating a protein-driven enrichment of ethanolamine lipids (by 25%) which ameliorates by 3-fold CPR's electron-transfer ability.
脂质对于膜蛋白的功能至关重要。NADPH-细胞色素 P450 还原酶是细胞色素 P450 氧化酶的唯一电子转移酶,具有与其拓扑结构交织在一起的构象动力学。在这里,我们使用肽纳米盘来揭示细胞色素 P450 还原酶的脂质边界,证明了蛋白质驱动的乙醇胺脂质富集(增加了 25%),这使 CPR 的电子转移能力提高了 3 倍。
