Abstract

The coding nucleotide sequence of the mRNA for NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase (NADPH:ferricytochrome oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.2.4) from rat liver was determined from two overlapping cDNA clones, pOR-7 and pOR-8, which together contain 2401 nucleotides complementary to rat liver oxidoreductase mRNA. The single open reading frame of 2034 nucleotides spanning these cDNAs codes for a 678 amino acid polypeptide with a molecular weight of 76,962. The deduced amino acid composition is in excellent agreement with that determined by direct amino acid analysis of purified rat liver P-450 oxidoreductase, and the amino-terminal region (residues 1-80) largely coincides with the amino-terminal sequence of the oxidoreductase isolated from rabbit liver. Comparison of the amino acid sequence to those of other flavoproteins revealed two separate domains that are likely to be involved in flavin binding: a long segment (residues 77-228) homologous with Desulfovibrio vulgaris flavodoxin, an FMN-containing protein, and a shorter segment (residues 452-477) homologous with the FAD-binding segment of fumarate reductase from Escherichia coli.
