Abstract
Cytochrome P450 isolated from Bacillus subtilis (P450(BSbeta); molecular mass, 48 kDa) catalyzes the hydroxylation of a long-chain fatty acid (e.g. myristic acid) at the alpha- and beta-positions using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. We report here on the crystal structure of ferric P450(BSbeta) in the substrate-bound form, determined at a resolution of 2.1 A. P450(BSbeta) exhibits a typical P450 fold. The substrate binds to a specific channel in the enzyme and is stabilized through hydrophobic interactions of its alkyl side chain with some hydrophobic residues on the enzyme as well as by electrostatic interaction of its terminal carboxylate with the Arg(242) guanidium group. These interactions are responsible for the site specificity of the hydroxylation site in which the alpha- and beta-positions of the fatty acid come into close proximity to the heme iron sixth site. The fatty acid carboxylate group interacts with Arg(242) in the same fashion as has been reported for the active site of chloroperoxidase, His(105)-Glu(183), which is an acid-base catalyst in the peroxidation reactions. On the basis of these observations, a possible mechanism for the hydroxylation reaction catalyzed by P450(BSbeta) is proposed in which the carboxylate of the bound-substrate fatty acid assists in the cleavage of the peroxide O-O bond.

Fig. 6. Heme pocket structure of P450[BS ](stereo view). Side (A) and top (B) views of the heme plane are illustrated. The heme (purple), palmitic acid (gray), and the hydrogen bonding network of the water molecules (dashed line) are shown. The carboxyl group of the substrate interacts with the guanidium group of Arg242 (light blue) in the I helix (green ribbon). Oxygen and nitrogen atoms are colored red and blue, respectively. The fifth ligand Cys is represented in yellow.

Figure 2 Bijvoet difference Patterson maps using the data collected at 1.738 Å. Diffraction data in the resolution range 10-3 Å were used for calculation. The labels correspond to haem iron-iron self vectors. The positions of the haem irons refined to (0.909, 0.485, 0.059), (0.508, 0.267, 0.058) and (0.904, 0.156, 0.053) by vector-space refinement.
