Identification of amino acid residues involved in the inactivation of cytochrome P450 2B1 by two acetylenic compounds: the role of three residues in nonsubstrate recognition Sites.

Abstract excerpt

The homologous rat cytochrome P450s 2B1 and 2B2 differ by 13 amino acids. A chimeric construct of P450 2B1/2B2 was used in conjunction with several site-directed mutants to identify key residues involved in the inactivation of P450 2B1 by two acetylenic compounds, 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (17EE) and tert-butyl 1-methyl-2-propynyl ether (tBMP). 17EE is a mechanism-based inactivator of P450 2B1 but not of P450 2B2....
