Mouse NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase: molecular cloning and functional expression in yeast.
Hokkaido National Industrial Research Institute, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Sapporo, Japan.
We published isolation of a mouse NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase cDNA and afterward ascribed the cDNA to the guinea-pig instead of the mouse (Ohgiya, S. et al. (1992) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1171, 103-105 and Corrigendum (1993) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1174, 313). We report here nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of an NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase cDNA isolated from the ddY mouse. The mouse cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase shares 98.4% identity with its rat counterpart. In particular, clusters of acidic residues that presumably participate in interaction with cytochrome P-450 are highly conserved in primary structures of mammalian cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductases. The mouse cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase was functionally expressed in yeast using a modified cDNA clone lacking whole noncoding regions.
