摘要
We identified a multisubstrate-bound state, hereby referred as a 3site state, in cytochrome P450cam via integrating molecular dynamics simulation with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pseudocontact shift measurements. The 3site state is a result of simultaneous binding of three camphor molecules in three locations around P450cam: (a) in a well-established “catalytic” site near heme, (b) in a kink-separated “waiting” site along channel-1, and (c) in a previously reported “allosteric” site at E, F, G, and H helical junctions. These three spatially distinct binding modes in the 3site state mutually communicate with each other via homotropic allostery and act cooperatively to render P450cam functional. The 3site state shows a significantly superior fit with NMR pseudo contact shift (PCS) data with a Q-score of 0.045 than previously known bound states and consists of D251 free of salt-bridges with K178 and R186, rendering the enzyme functionally primed. To date, none of the reported cocomplex of P450cam with its redox partner putidaredoxin (pdx) has been able to match solution NMR data and controversial pdx-induced opening of P450cam’s channel-1 remains a matter of recurrent discourse. In this regard, inclusion of pdx to the 3site state is able to perfectly fit the NMR PCS measurement with a Q-score of 0.08 and disfavors the pdx-induced opening of channel-1, reconciling previously unexplained remarkably fast hydroxylation kinetics with a koff of 10.2 s–1. Together, our findings hint that previous experimental observations may have inadvertently captured the 3site state as an in vitro solution state, instead of the catalytic state alone, and provided a distinct departure from the conventional understanding of cytochrome P450.
