This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Liver microsomal drug metabolizing system is responsible for oxidation of hundrends of exogeneous and endogeneous compounds. The system consists of P450 and P450 reductase. Therefore, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that determine the activity of P450 are great interest.
The aim of project is to understand the structural basis for the production of a functional P450 molecule which includes proper targeting to endoplasmic reticulum, uptake of heme and achieving a membrane topology compatible with interaction with its substrates and reductase.
