The prosthetic heme group in the CYP4A family of cytochrome P450 enzymes is covalently attached to an I-helix glutamic acid residue. This glutamic acid is conserved in the CYP4 family but is absent in other P450 families. As shown here, the glutamic acid is linked, presumably via an ester bond, to a hydroxyl group on the heme 5-methyl group. Mutation of the glutamic acid to an alanine in CYP4A1, CYP4A3, and CYP4A11 suppresses covalent heme binding. In wild-type CYP4A3 68% of the heme is covalently bound to the heterologously expressed protein, but in the CYP4A3/E318D mutant, 47% of the heme is unchanged, 47% is present as noncovalently bound 5-hydroxymethylheme, and only 6% is covalently bound to the protein. In the CYP4A3/ E318Q mutant, the majority of the heme is unaltered, and
