Extensive protein interactions involving cytochrome P450 3A4: a possible contributor to the formation of a metabolosome.

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 is a membrane protein that catalyzes hydroxylation of endogenous and exogenous substrates. Protein-protein interaction is a crucial factor that regulates the function of enzymes. However, protein-protein interactions involving human CYPs have not been fully understood. In this study, extensive protein-protein interactions involving CYP3A4 were determined by a shotgun analysis of immunoprecipitate utilizing anti-CYP3A4 antibody. Our shotgun analysis revealed that 149 proteins were immunoprecipitated with anti-CYP3A4 antibody in human liver microsomes. We further determined that 51 proteins of 149 proteins were specifically immunoprecipitated with the anti-CYP3A4 antibody. Our analysis demonstrated that other CYP isoforms are interacting with CYP3A4, which is in agr
