wild-type CYP7A1 in the ligand-free state, structure-based mutation T104L in the B' helix, corresponding to the nonpolar residue of CYP7B1, is used to obtain crystals of complexes with cholest-4-en-3 -one and with cholesterol oxidation product 7-ketocholesterol, hanging drop vapor diffusion method, mixing 0f 0.001 ml of protein solution with 0.001 ml of reservoir solution containing 0.1 M sodium chloride, 0.1 M trisodium citrate, pH 5.5, and 20% PEG 400, 18°C, to obtain a complex with cholest-4-en-3-one, a T104L mutant is used, and the crystals are grown in conditions containing 0.1 M MES, pH 6.0, and 18% PEG 550 monomethylether and soaked with 20% glycerol. For the T104L mutant-7KCh complex, crystals are grown in 0.1 M sodium chloride, 0.1 M tri-sodium citrate, pH 5.6, and 20% PEG 400, room temperature, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis at 1.90-2.75 A resolution | Homo sapiens |

T104L | the mutant is similar to the wild-type in ligand binding and catalytic properties and readily crystallizes with substrates. The structure of the T104L mutant in complex with cholest-4-en-3-one explicitly identifies key residues involved in 7alpha-hydroxylation | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | hepatic conversion to bile acids is a major elimination route for cholesterol in mammals. CYP7A1 catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in classic bile acid biosynthesis, converting cholesterol to 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol. Hydroxylation of the ring system of cholesterol in a regio- and stereospecific manner with further oxidation and shortening of the side chain produces water-soluble bile acids with powerful detergent properties to emulsify dietary lipids. Bile acids also serve as signaling molecules that bind to G-protein-coupled receptors and nuclear hormone receptors that regulate lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism | Homo sapiens |
additional information | identification of a motif of residues that promote cholest-4-en-3-one binding parallel to the heme, thus positioning the C7 atom for hydroxylation. Orientation of cholesterol in the different leaflets of the lipid bilayer can be recognized for further binding by CYP7A1 alone or in complex with protein partners | Homo sapiens |
