Fluorescence labelling of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase with the monobromomethyl derivative of syn-9,10-dioxabimane

F Vogel et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

The kinetics of thiol-group alkylation in NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase during its inactivation by monobromobimane has been studied using the fluorimetric determination of S-bimane-L-cysteine by high-performance liquid chromatography. Loss of activity during the reaction of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase with monobromobimane is caused by the alkylation of one single critical cysteine residue, which can be protected against thiol-specific reagents by NADP(H). The chemical stability of the bimane group allows the digestion of bimane-labelled NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase by CNBr. The critical cysteine residue could be located in a CNBr-cleaved peptide purified to homogeneity with Mr 10 500 +/- 1 000 and valine as N-terminus.
