title: Pyridoxal phosphate induced association reactions of adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin-reductase.
abstract: Pyridoxal phosphate, cofactor of several enzymes, possesses linking properties to induce oligomerization of identical proteins such as adrenodoxin-reductase or adrenodoxin. The capability to get such self-assemblies is slightly lower than that for obtaining the heterologous complex between adrenodoxin-reductase and adrenodoxin which was found to be essential for electron transfer in the cytochrome P450 system. The influence of pyridoxal phosphate on the complex formation between adrenodoxin-reductase and adrenodoxin as well as the oligomerization reaction of the isolated proteins and possible consequences is discussed.
