Abstract excerpt
Two allelic variants and eight site-directed mutants of cytochrome P450 2B1 differing at residue 478 have been expressed in COS cells and assayed for androstenedione hydroxylase activities. The 478Gly and 478Ala variants and five mutants (Ser, Thr, Val, Ile, and Leu) exhibited 16 beta-OH:16 alpha-OH ratios ranging from 0.7 to 9.3, whereas the Pro, Glu, and Arg mutants were expressed but inactive. The seven...
