STRUCTURE OF ADRENODOXIN REDUCTASE OF MITOCHONDRIAL P450 SYSTEMS
Structural highlights
FunctionADRO_BOVIN Serves as the first electron transfer protein in all the mitochondrial P450 systems. Including cholesterol side chain cleavage in all steroidogenic tissues, steroid 11-beta hydroxylation in the adrenal cortex, 25-OH-vitamin D3-24 hydroxylation in the kidney, and sterol C-27 hydroxylation in the liver. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedAdrenodoxin reductase is a monomeric 51 kDa flavoenzyme that is involved in the biosynthesis of all steroid hormones. The structure of the native bovine enzyme was determined at 2.8 A resolution, and the structure of the respective recombinant enzyme at 1.7 A resolution. Adrenodoxin reductase receives a two-electron package from NADPH and converts it to two single electrons that are transferred via adrenodoxin to all mitochondrial cytochromes P 450. The structure suggests how the observed flavin semiquinone is stabilized. A striking feature is the asymmetric charge distribution, which most likely controls the approach of the electron carrier adrenodoxin. A model for the interaction is proposed. Adrenodoxin reductase shows clear sequence homology to half a dozen proteins identified in genome analysis projects, but neither sequence nor structural homology to established, functionally related electron transferases. Yet, the structure revealed a relationship to the disulfide oxidoreductases, permitting the assignment of the NADP-binding site.
