To explore the mechanism of homotropic cooperativity in human cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) we studied the interactions of the enzyme with 1-pyrenebutanol (1-PB), 1-pyrenemethylamine (PMA), and bromocriptine by FRET from the substrate fluorophore to the heme, and by absorbance spectroscopy. These approaches combined with an innovative setup of titration-by-dilution and continuous variation (Job's titration) experiments allowed Lis to probe the relationship between substrate binding and the subsequent spin transition caused by 1-PB or bromocriptine or the type-II spectral changes caused by PMA. The 1-PB-induced spin shift in CYP3A4 reveals prominent homotropic cooperativity, which is characterized by a Hill coefficient of 1.8 +/- 0.3 (S-50 = 8-0 +/- 1.1 mu M). In contrast, the interactions of CYP3A4 with bromocriptine or PMA reveal no cooperativity, exhibiting K-D values of 0.31 +/- 0.08 mu M and 7.1 +/- 2.3 mu M, respectively. The binding of all three substrates monitored by FRET intitration-by-dilution experiments at an enzyme: substrate ratio of I reveals a simple bimolecular interaction with K-D values of 0.16 +/- 0.09, 4.8 +/- 1.4, and 0.18 +/- 0.09 mu M for 1-PB, PMA, and bromocriptine, respectively. Correspondingly, Job's titration experiments showed that the 1-PB-induced spin shift reflects the formation of a complex of the enzyme with two substrate molecules, while bromocriptine and PMA exhibit 1:1 binding stoichiometry. Combining the results of Job's titrations with the value of KD obtained in Our FRET experiments, we demonstrate that the interactions of CYP3A4 with 1-PB obey a sequential binding mechanism, where the spin transition is triggered by the binding of 1-PB to the low-affinity site, which becomes possible only upon saturation of the high-affinity site.
