Cytochrome-P450-cytochrome-b5 interaction in a membrane environment changes 15N chemical shift anisotropy tensors.

ABSTRACT: It has been well realized that the dependence of chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) tensors on the amino acid sequence, secondary structure, dynamics, and electrostatic interactions can be utilized in the structural and dynamic studies of proteins by NMR spectroscopy. In addition, CSA tensors could also be utilized to measure the structural interactions between proteins in a protein-protein complex. To this end, we report the experimentally measured backbone amide-(15)N CSA tensors for a membrane-bound 16.7 kDa full-length rabbit cytochrome-b5 (cytb5), in complexation with a 55.8 kDa microsomal rabbit cytochrome P450 2B4 (cytP4502B4). The (15)N-CSAs, determined using the (15)N CSA/(15)N-(1)H dipolar coupling transverse cross-correlated rates, for free cytb5 are compared with those for the cyt
