Well-conserved three consecutive Pro residues (Pro247-249) in the NADH-binding subdomain of NADH-cytochrome b(5) reductase were proposed to form a basal part of the NADH-binding site. To investigate the structural and mechanistic roles of these residues, we expressed site-directed mutants for a soluble domain of the porcine enzyme where each of the residues was replaced with either Ala or Leu residue, respectively, using a heterologous expression system in Escherichia coli. Six mutants (P247A, P247L, P248A, P248L, P249A, and P249L) were produced as a fusion protein containing a 6xHis-tag sequence at the NH(2)-terminus and were purified to homogeneity with a stoichiometric amount of bound FAD. Mutations were each confirmed for the purified proteins by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Steady-state kinetic analyses for NADH:ferricyanide reductase and NADH:cytochrome b(5) reductase acitivities were conducted for all the mutants. Substitution of Pro247 with Leu residue was found to significantly decrease k(cat) with slight increase in K(m) for the physiological electron donor NADH. However, K(m) values for the electron acceptors (both cytochrome b(5) and ferricyanide) of P247L were found to be decreased significantly. Such changes were not observed for P247A or other four mutants. These results suggested that Pro247 among the three consecutive Pro residues has the most important role for the formation of a binding site cavity and that only a slight change in the side-chain volume at this residue from Ala to Leu residue affected the electron transfer reaction from NADH and, further, on the recognition of ferricytochrome b(5).
