| Abstract | This report describes the properties of two mammalian cytochromes P450 that have been expressed at high levels in Escherichia coli as enzymatically active fusion proteins containing the flavoprotein domain of rat NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (EC 1.6.2.4). Fusion proteins were prepared by engineering the cDNAs for the steroid-metabolizing bovine adrenal P450 17A with the cDNA for rat liver NADPH-P450 reductase with the introduction of a Ser-Thr linker to give a protein we have named rF450[mBov17A/mRatOR]L1. Similarly, the cDNA for the omega-hydroxylase of rat liver (P450 4A1) was linked with the cDNA for rat liver NADPH-P450 reductase to give rF450[mRat4A1/mRatOR]L1. A procedure involving disruption of transformed E. coli by sonication, isolation of membranes by differential centrifugation, solubilization with detergent, and affinity chromatography provided significant amounts of purified fusion proteins of approximately 118 kDa. The purified fusion proteins had turnover numbers for the metabolism of steroids (rF450[mBov17A/mRatOR]L1) or fatty acids (rF450[mRat4A1/mRatOR]L1) ranging from 10/min to 30/min in the absence of added phospholipid. Addition of purified rat liver cytochrome b5 stimulated the 17,20-lyase reaction for the conversion of 17-hydroxypregnenolone to dehydroepiandrosterone, and addition of purified rat NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase enhanced the formation of omega--1 metabolites from lauric and arachidonic acids. NADPH oxidation was tightly coupled to substrate hydroxylation with the purified fusion proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
