title: Influence of N,N-dimethylaniline on the association of phenobarbital-induced cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome c(P-450) reductase in a reconstituted rabbit liver microsomal enzyme system.
abstract: N,N-Dimethylaniline when added to reaction mixtures provokes deviation from Michaelis-Menten law of the interaction kinetics of NADPH-cytochrome c(P-450) reductase (NADPH:ferrihaemoprotein oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.2.4) with highly purified phenobarbital-induced rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 (P-450LM2). This phenomenon is not associated with the low-to-high spin transition in the iron-coordination sphere of the haemoprotein, as elicited by the arylamine. Substrate-triggered departure from linearity of the kinetics is abolished by inclusion into the assay media of p-chloromercuribenzoate, hinting at a vital role in the process of thiols. Similarly, the parabolic progress curve (nH = 1.7) is transformed to a straight line (nH = 1.01) when the N-terminal reductase-binding domain in the P-450LM2 molecule is selectively blocked through covalent attachment of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC); such a modification does not alter the affinity of the haemoprotein for the amine substrate. Steady-state fluorescence polarization measurements reveal that N,N-dimethylaniline perturbs the motional properties of the fluorophore-bearing reductase-binding region, suggesting the induction of a conformational change. Summarizing these results, the data possibly indicate N,N-dimethylaniline-induced cooperativity in the association of reductase with P-450LM2.
