title: Comparative homology modeling of human cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) and confirmation of residues involved in 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation by site-directed mutagenesis and enzyme kinetic analysis.
abstract: CYP1A1 homology models based on the CYP2C5 and a composite of CYP2C5, CYP2C8, and CYP2C9 X-ray crystal structures were compared to a model generated using the recently published coordinates of CYP1A2. The model using the CYP1A2 coordinates, CYP1A1-(1A2), gave near ideal stereochemical quality and was favored energetically. Docking studies identified the active-site residues potentially involved in binding of the prototypic CYP1A1 substrate 7-ethoxyresorufin. CYP1A1 mutants S122A, F123A, F224A, A317Y, T321G, and I386G were generated to explore the roles of these residues in 7-ethoxyresorufin binding and turnover, and generally confirmed the importance of aromatic interactions over hydrogen bonding in orientating 7-ethoxyresrufin in a catalytically favorable orientation. Although 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation by CYP1A1 and several mutants exhibited substrate inhibition, it is unlikely that inhibition arises from the simultaneous binding of two substrates within the active-site given the geometry of the active site-cavity.
