Structure-function relationships of rat liver CYP3A9 to its human liver orthologs: site-directed active site mutagenesis to a progesterone dihydroxylase.

Abstract excerpt

CYP3A9 is an estrogen-inducible ortholog of human liver CYP3A4 with 76.5% sequence identity to CYP3A4. Unlike CYP3A4, it is a very poor testosterone 6beta- and 2beta-hydroxylase, but a relatively better catalyst of progesterone monohydroxylation largely at 6beta, 16alpha, and 21 positions with negligible 6beta, 21-dihydroxylation. We reasoned that such differences in substrate catalyses must be due to differences...
