The multiple functions of PGRMC1, the archetypal heme-binding eukaryotic MAPR family member, include steroidogenic regulation, membrane trafficking, and steroid responsiveness. The interrelationships between these functions are currently poorly understood. Previous work has shown that different MAPR subclasses were present early in eukaryotic evolution, and that tyrosine phosphorylated residues appeared in the eumetazoan ancestor, coincident with a gastrulation organizer. Here we show that MAPR proteins are related to a newly recognized class of prokaryotic cytochrome-b5 domain proteins. Our first solved structure of this new class exhibits shared MAPR-like folded architecture and heme-binding orientation. We also report that a protein subgroup from Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) bacteria shares MAPR-like heme-interacting tyrosines. Our results support bacterial origins for both PGRMC1 and CYP51A, that catalyze the meiosis-associated 14-demethylation of the first sterol lanosterol from yeast to humans. We propose that eukaryotic acquisition of a membrane-trafficking function related to sterol metabolism was associated with the appearance of MAPR genes early in eukaryotic evolution.

We recently reported that the membrane associated progesterone receptor (MAPR) protein family (mammalian members: PGRMC1, PGRMC2, NEUFC and NENF) originated from a new class of prokaryotic cytochrome b5 (cytb5) domain proteins, called cytb5M (MAPR-like). Relative to classical cytb5 proteins, MAPR and ctyb5M proteins shared unique sequence elements and a distinct heme binding orientation at an approximately 90⁰ rotation relative to classical cytb5, as demonstrated in the archetypal crystal structure of a cytb5M protein (PDB accession number 6NZX). Here, we present the second crystal structure of an archaeal cytb5M domain (Methanococcoides burtonii WP_011499504.1, PDB:6VZ6). It exhibits similar heme-binding to the 6NZX cytb5M, supporting the deduction that MAPR-like heme orientation was inherited from the prokaryotic ancestor of the original eukaryotic MAPR gene.
