CYTOCHROME P450 14 ALPHA-STEROL DEMETHYLASE (CYP51) FROM MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS IN FERRIC LOW-SPIN STATE
Overview
Sterol 14alpha-demethylases (CYP51) are essential enzymes in sterol, biosynthesis in eukaryotes and drug targets in antifungal therapy. Here, we report CYP51 structures in ligand-free and estriol bound forms. Using, estriol as a probe, we determined orientation of the substrate in the, active site, elucidated protein contacts with the invariant 3beta-hydroxy, group of a sterol, and identified F78 as a key discriminator between, 4alpha-methylated and 4alpha,beta-dimethylated substrates. Analysis of, CYP51 dynamics revealed that the C helix undergoes helix-coil transition, upon binding and dissociation of a ligand. Loss of helical structure of, the C helix in the ligand-free form results in an unprecedented opening of, the substrate binding site. Upon binding of estriol, the BC loop loses, ...
