Liver cytochrome P450 3A endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation: a major role for the p97 AAA ATPase in cytochrome P450 3A extraction into the cytosol.

ABSTRACT: The CYP3A subfamily of hepatic cytochromes P450, being engaged in the metabolism and clearance of >50% of clinically relevant drugs, can significantly influence therapeutics and drug-drug interactions. Our characterization of CYP3A degradation has indicated that CYPs 3A incur ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation (UPD) in an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) process. Cytochromes P450 are monotopic hemoproteins N-terminally anchored to the ER membrane with their protein bulk readily accessible to the cytosolic proteasome. Given this topology, it was unclear whether they would require the AAA-ATPase p97 chaperone complex that retrotranslocates/dislocates ubiquitinated ER-integral and luminal proteins into the cytosol for proteasomal delivery. To assess the in viv
