NADPH-Cytochrome P450 Reductase (P450R) is an essential component of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system of eukaryotic cells (1). P450R is anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane with its catalytic domain residing in the cytosol. P450R is a flavoprotein, containing one molecule each of FMN and FAD, which are essential for the transfer of electrons from NADPH to the cytochromes P450 (2). This reduction is necessary for cytochromes P450 to perform each cycle of oxidation. P450R is also capable of transferring electrons to cytochrome b5, heme oxygenase, the fatty acid elongation system, and other proteins. Mutations of P450R can result in disordered steroidogenesis and Antley-Bixler syndrome.

Materials
*Adjusted for Substrate Blank
**Using the extinction coefficient 21100 M-1cm-1
***Using the path correction 0.32 cm
Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD Per Well:
- Assay Buffer: 0.3 M KH2PO4, pH 8.0
- Recombinant Human POR/Cytochrome P450 Reductase (rhPOR) (Catalog # 6340-PR)
- Substrate: beta -NADPH (Sigma, Catalog # N7505), 10 mM stock in deionized water (8.33 mg/mL)
- Cytochrome C, Bovine heart (Sigma, Catalog # C3131), 2 mg/mL stock in deionized water
- 96 well Clear Plate (Costar, Catalog # 92592)
- Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Dilute rhPOR to 0.2 ng/μL in Assay Buffer.
- Combine 480 μL of Assay Buffer, 500 μL of 2 mg/mL Cytochrome C, and 20 μL of 10 mM beta -NADPH.
- Load 50 μL of 0.2 ng/μL rhPOR and start the reaction by adding 50 μL of Substrate Mixture. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 μL Assay Buffer and 50 μL Substrate Mixture.
- Read in kinetic mode for 6 minutes with 1 minute lag time at an absorbance of 550 nm.
- Calculate specific activity:
|
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = |
Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/mol |
| ext. coeff** (M-1cm-1) x path corr.*** (cm) x amount of enzyme (µg) |
*Adjusted for Substrate Blank
