From the The first structure of a P450 to an atomic
resolution of 1.06 Å has been solved for CYP121 from
Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A comparison with P450
EryF (CYP107A1) reveals a remarkable overall similarity in fold
with major differences residing in active site structural elements. The
high resolution obtained allows visualization of several unusual
aspects. The heme cofactor is bound in two distinct conformations while
being notably kinked in one pyrrole group due to close interaction with
the proline residue (Pro346) immediately following the heme
iron-ligating cysteine (Cys345). The active site is
remarkably rigid in comparison with the remainder of the structure,
notwithstanding the large cavity volume of 1350 Å3. The
region immediately surrounding the distal water ligand is remarkable in
several aspects. Unlike other bacterial P450s, the I helix shows no
deformation, similar to mammalian CYP2C5. In addition, the positively
charged Arg386 is located immediately above the heme plane,
dominating the local structure. Putative proton relay pathways from
protein surface to heme (converging at Ser279) are
identified. Most interestingly, the electron density indicates weak
binding of a dioxygen molecule to the P450. This structure provides a
basis for rational design of putative antimycobacterial agents.
The atomic coordinates and the structure factors (code 1N40 (RCSB017490) and 1N4G (RCSB017506)) have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank, Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ (http://www.rcsb.org/).
