CYPOR is a complex, multidomain protein composed of three asymmetric chains, (<scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporchaina/2'>A</scene>, <scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporchainb/1'>B</scene>, <scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporchainc/1'>C</scene>). It also has three different types of associated ligands; one <scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporfmn/2'>FMN</scene>, three <scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporfad/2'>FAD</scene> and two <scene name='Sandbox_177/Cypornadph/2'>NADPH</scene> (Fig 1).<ref name="5TSON"/> The three associated binding domains for these ligand types, a connecting domain and a transmembrane anchor make up the important structural elements of CYPOR (Fig 2). | <scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporplain/2'>CYPOR</scene> is a complex, multidomain protein composed of three asymmetric chains, (<scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporchaina/2'>A</scene>, <scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporchainb/1'>B</scene>, <scene name='Sandbox_177/Cyporchainc/1'>C</scene>).

The N-terminus of CYPOR consists of a single alpha-helix composed of 25 amino acids that functions as a transmembrane anchor (~6kDa), holding the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum.<ref name="5TSON"/><ref name="10aTSON">PMID:18630181</ref> The remaining, soluble ~66kDa portion of the protein, responsible for reducing cytochrome P450, consists of three binding domains for the ligands involved in the electron transport chain.<ref name="5TSON"/> The FMN binding domain is composed of the first 170 residues of the soluble region, which are very similar to those of flavodoxin, another FMN binding protein.<ref name="5TSON"/> The FAD and NADPH binding domains are located closer to the C-terminus, and are very similar to the FAD domain in ferredoxin-NADP<sup>+</sup> oxidoreductase, both in terms of sequence and structure.<ref name="5TSON"/> | The N-terminus of CYPOR consists of a single alpha-helix composed of 25 amino acids that functions as a transmembrane anchor (~6kDa), holding the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum.<ref name="5TSON"/><ref name="10aTSON">PMID:18630181</ref> The remaining, soluble ~66kDa portion of the protein, responsible for reducing cytochrome P450, consists of three binding domains for the ligands involved in the electron transport chain.<ref name="5TSON"/> The FMN binding domain is composed of the first 170 residues of the soluble region, which are very similar to those of flavodoxin, another FMN binding protein.<ref name="5TSON"/> The FAD and NADPH binding domains are located closer to the C-terminus, and are very similar to the FAD domain in ferredoxin-NADP<sup>+</sup> oxidoreductase, both in terms of sequence and structure.<ref name="5TSON"/> | ||
