Antisera to purified house fly NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase were used to select cDNA clones from an expression library of abdomens of phenobarbital-treated house flies. A partial cDNA of 1841 bp containing a TAG termination codon, a consensus polyadenylation site and 269 bp of 3' untranslated sequence was obtained. Sequencing of a genomic clone coupled with mRNA sequencing yielded the complete coding sequence including the starting ATG. The resulting open reading frame of 2013 nucleotides codes for a protein of 671 residues. The native reductase apoprotein has a molecular weight of 76,366 and the deduced molecular weight of the holoenzyme (i.e. with 1 mol of FAD and FMN) is 77,608. The sequence of the house fly P450 reductase protein is highly similar to that of rabbit liver, the overall amino acid positional identity is 54.5% and the overall identity among eukaryotic P450 reductases is about 25%. The P450 reductase gene of 19-23 kb was located on chromosome III, as shown by comparison of RFLP-patterns of the P450 reductase gene in two house fly strains and their hybrids.
