Abstract
Microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) is one of only two mammalian enzymes known to contain both FAD and FMN, the other being nitric-oxide synthase. CPR is a membrane-bound protein and catalyzes electron transfer from NADPH to all known microsomal cytochromes P450. The structure of rat liver CPR, expressed in Escherichia coli and solubilized by limited trypsinolysis, has been determined by x-ray crystallography at 2.6 A resolution. The molecule is composed of four structural domains: (from the N- to C- termini) the FMN-binding domain, the connecting domain, and the FAD- and NADPH-binding domains. The FMN-binding domain is similar to the structure of flavodoxin, whereas the two C-terminal dinucleotide-binding domains are similar to those of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR). The connecting domain, situated between the FMN-binding and FNR-like domains, is responsible for the relative orientation of the other domains, ensuring the proper alignment of the two flavins necessary for efficient electron transfer. The two flavin isoalloxazine rings are juxtaposed, with the closest distance between them being about 4 A. The bowl-shaped surface near the FMN-binding site is likely the docking site of cytochrome c and the physiological redox partners, including cytochromes P450 and b5 and heme oxygenase.

Residues within close contact of the flavin ring are labeled. Four aromatic^ residues sandwich the flavin rings: Y178 and Y140 for FMN and^ Y456 and W677 for FAD.

Fig. 4. Stereoview of the cofactor arrangement in CPR and multiple conformers for the bound NADP+. Electrons flow from NADPH to FAD and then to FMN. The FMN and^ FAD are represented by ball-and-stick, with the xylene portions of the isoalloxazine rings oriented toward each other. The adenine^ portion of NADP+ binds in a single conformation (ball-and-stick) while the nicotinamide^ (stick only) binds in multiple conformations. By rotation about the P[N]---O---P[A] bond, the nicotinamide ring could displace W677 at the re-side of the FAD ring, placing it in the optimum orientation for hydride transfer from the NADPH to the N5 position of the^ FAD cofactor.
