A putative binding region for cumene hydroperoxide in the active site of cytochrome P4501A1 was identified using photoaffinity labeling. Thr501 was determined as the most likely site of modification by azidocumene used as the photoaffinity label (T. Cvrk and H. W. Strobel, (1998) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 349, 95–104). To evaluate further the role of this amino acid residue a site-directed mutagenesis approach was employed. P4501A1 wild type and two mutants, P4501A1Glu501and P4501A1Phe501, were expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli and used for kinetic analysis to confirm the role of Thr501 residue in cumene hydroperoxide binding. The mutation resulted in a two- to fourfold decrease in the rate of heme degradation in the presence of 0.5 mM cumene hydroperoxide. The mutations do not prevent or significantly alter binding of the tested substrates; however, binding of 2-phenyl-2-propanol (product generated from cumene hydroperoxide) to P4501A1Glu501and P4501A1Phe501exhibited four- and eightfold decreases, respectively, suggesting that the mutations strongly affected the affinity of cumene hydroperoxide for the P4501A1 active site. The kinetic analysis of cumene hydroperoxide-supported reactions showed that both mutants exhibit increased Kmand decreased VMaxvalues for all tested substrates. Furthermore, the mutations affected product distribution in testosterone hydroxylation. On the basis of P4501A1Glu501and P4501A1Phe501characterization, it can be concluded that Thr501 plays an important role in cumene hydroperoxide/P4501A1 interaction.
