RESUMEN

Nanodiscs represent a versatile tool for studies of membrane proteins and protein-membrane interactions under native-like conditions. Multiple variations of the Nanodisc platform, as well as new experimental methods, have been recently developed to understand various aspects of structure, dynamics and functional properties of systems involved in signaling, transport, blood coagulation and many other critically important processes. In this mini-review, we focus on some of these exciting recent developments that utilize the Nanodisc platform.

RESUMEN

Human cytochrome P450 CYP17A1 catalyzes the hydroxylation of pregnenolone and progesterone at the C17 position, with subsequent C17-C20 bond scission, to form dehydroepiandrosterone and androstenedione respectively. The first hydroxylation reaction is faster in H2O than in D2O, while the second carbon­carbon bond scission event demonstrates an inverse solvent isotope effect, which is more pronounced for 17-hydroxy pregnenolone. In order to better understand the cause of this difference, we compared the optical absorption spectra of oxygenated CYP17A1 with the four substrates (pregnenolone, progesterone, 17-hydroxy pregnenolone and 17-hydroxy progesterone) in both H2O and D2O. We also studied the temperature-dependent decay of the peroxo-ferric and hydroperoxo-ferric intermediates generated by cryoradiolysis of the corresponding oxygenated heme proteins at 77 K. For both pregnenolone and 17-hydroxypregnenolone, annealing of the peroxo-intermediates was observed at lower temperatures in H2O than in D2O. In contrast, no solvent isotope effect was detected when progesterone or 17-hydroxyprogesterone were used as substrates. These differences are attributed to their different positioning in the P450 active site with respect to the heme bound peroxo (Fe-OO-) moiety, which is in agreement with earlier structural and spectroscopic investigations. Analysis of the samples run in both H2O and in D2O, where 17-hydroxyprogesterone is the substrate, demonstrated significant (∼25%) yield of androstenedione product relative to the oxygenated starting material.

RESUMEN

When subjected to γ-irradiation at cryogenic temperatures the oxygenated complexes of Cytochrome P450 CYP17A1 (CYP17A1) bound with either of the lyase substrates, 17α-Hydroxypregnenolone (17-OH PREG) or 17α-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OH PROG) are shown to generate the corresponding lyase products, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione (AD) respectively. The current study uses gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to document the presence of the initial substrates and products in extracts of the processed samples. A rapid and efficient method for the simultaneous determination of residual substrate and products by GC/MS is described without derivatization of the products. It is also shown that no lyase products were detected for similarly treated control samples containing no nanodisc associated CYP17 enzyme, demonstrating that the product is formed during the enzymatic reaction and not by GC/MS conditions, nor the conditions produced by the cryoradiolysis process.
