Novel reversible inactivation of cytochrome P450 2E1 T303A by tert-butyl acetylene: the role of threonine 303 in proton delivery to the active site of cytochrome P450 2E1.

Abstract excerpt

This report investigates and characterizes the mechanism for the novel reversible inactivation of a T303A mutant of rabbit cytochrome P450 (P450) 2E1 by tert-butyl acetylene (tBA). P450 2E1 T303A was inactivated in a time-, concentration-, and NADPH-dependent manner through the formation of two tBA adducts to the P450 heme. Interestingly, losses in enzymatic activity and in the reduced CO spectrum of the...
