Cytochrome P4501A1 polymorphisms in the Amerindian and Mestizo populations of Mexico

Several polymorphisms in the CYP1A1 locus have been identified and their genotypes appear to exhibit population frequencies that depend on ethnicity. We studied two CYP1A1 polymorphic sites (position 4889 and 6235) in a group of 212 unrelated healthy individuals belonging to three different Mexican populations (106 Mexican Mestizos, 52 Teenek and 54 Mayos). Comparison among Mexican populations showed increased frequency of the *Ile allele (A on position 4889) in Mexican Mestizos when compared to Amerindians (p < 0.05). The analysis of position 6235 showed increased frequencies of *m2 (C in this position) allele in Teenek when compared to Mestizos and Mayos (p < 0.05) and of *m2/*m2 genotype when compared to Mestizos (p < 0.05). Amerindian populations (from Mexico and South America) presented the lowest frequencies of *Ile (position 4889) and *m1 (position 6235) alleles, however these frequencies vary according to the ethnic group studied. Mexican Amerindian groups together with other South Amerindian populations showed the highest frequencies for *Val at position 4889 and the *m2 allele at position 6235. The present study corroborates the high frequencies of*Val and *m2 alleles in the Amerindian populations and detects some differences between Mexican populations that correlate with linguistic differences. Our data could be helpful in understanding the distribution of these polymorphisms and in clarifying their roles as genetic and evolution markers in Amerindian populations.     

Cigarette smoking might weaken the prognostic significance of cytochrome P450 2C19*2 polymorphism in acute myocardial infarction patients

Prognostic significance of cytochrome P450 2C19*2 polymorphism in acute myocardial infarction is still not well investigated. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the genetic polymorphism and the outcome of the acute myocardial infarction patients, and to further clarify the impact of smoking on such relationship. Six hundred acute myocardial infarction patients were enrolled. All of them provided blood samples and underwent clopidogrel treatment. The genetic polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, and the platelet function was assessed using conventional aggregometry. Of the included patients, 287 carried GG wild‐type genotypes, 225 carried GA genotypes and 88 carried AA genotypes. The platelet aggregation rate was significantly elevated in the AA genotype patients, mainly in the non‐smoking patients (P < 0.001) and the former‐smoking patients (P < 0.001). During 5‐year follow‐up period, after adjusted for multiple confounding factors, AA genotypes were associated with the increase in 5‐year mortalities in the non‐smoking patients [OR: 7.06, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.16–11.49] and the former‐smoking patients (OR: 4.38, 95% CI: 1.05–9.40), but not in the current‐smoking patients (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 0.60–2.31). In conclusion, the study suggested a potential role of P450 2C19*2 polymorphism as a prognostic indicator in acute myocardial infarction patients. We had also obtained some evidence that current smoking might weaken the prognostic significance of the genetic polymorphism in patients.     

The cytochrome P450 gene family CYP157 does not contain EXXR in the K-helix reducing the absolute conserved P450 residues to a single cysteine

In this work, we have spectroscopically characterised CYP157C1 from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) which has the motif E(297)QSLW(301) rather than the invariant EXXR motif in the P450 K-helix. Site-directed mutagenesis of native E(297)QSLW(301) in CYP157C1 to E(297)ESLR(301) or E(297)QSRW(301) both containing standard EXXR motifs produced cytochrome P420 proteins thought to be inactive forms of P450 even though wild type CYP157C1 has the spectral properties of a normal P450. These results indicate that the EXXR motif is not required in all CYP tertiary architectures and only a single cysteine residue, which coordinates as the fifth thiolate ligand to the P450 haem iron, is invariant in all CYPs structures.     

Cytochrome P450 2J2*7 polymorphisms in Japanese, Mongolians and Ovambos

Human cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2) is abundant in cardiovascular tissue and active in the metabolism of arachidonic acid to eicosanoids that have potent vasodilatory properties. Variability of the CYP2J2 gene is highly constrained except for its proximal promoter: there is a relatively common and functionally relevant single nucleotide polymorphism, indicated by -50G > T polymorphism (CYP2J2*7). Although genetic variation is known among ethnic groups, data for allele frequency are limited to a few Caucasian, Asian, and one African populations. In the present study, genotype distribution of CYP2J2*7 polymorphisms was investigated using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism assay in Japanese (n = 338), Mongolian (n = 118), and Ovambo (n = 186) populations and the findings compared with other populations. The mutant (CYP2J2*7) frequencies in the Japanese, Mongolians, and Ovambos were 0.0621, 0.0339, and 0.0672, respectively. Except for the Taiwanese, a general uniformity in the polymorphism in the Asian populations was observed. The mutation frequency of Ovambos was relatively lower than that of the African-American population. This study is the first to investigate the distribution of the CYP2J2*7 gene polymorphisms in Japanese, Mongolians, and Ovambos. These data will be informative and facilitate genetic association studies, in Asian and African populations for CYP2J2-related diseases such as cardiovascular disorders.     

Molecular Characterization of Human Rotavirus VP4 Genes by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Assay

A restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay was developed to examine the genetic variability and similarity of the VP4 genes of human rotaviruses. The VP4 genes of 14 human rotavirus strains, including VP4 serotype P1A strains (Wa, P, VA70), serotype P1B strain (DS-1), serotype P2 strains (M37, 1076, McN, ST3) and serotype P3 strains (AU-1, AU228, K8, PA151, PCP5, MZ58), and those of 2 feline strains (FRV-1 and Cat2) were reverse-transcribed and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplified VP4 cDNAs were then digested with a panel of restriction endonucleases (HindIII, NruI, HaeIII, and EcoRI), resulting in the identification of at least one enzyme with which digestion produced an RFLP profile specific for a particular P serotype. Of interest was the presence of two distinct RFLP patterns within the serotype P3 VP4 genes: one corresponding to the VP4 gene carried by the members of the AU-1 genogroup and the other corresponding to the VP4 genes carried by naturally-occurring reassortants between members of the AU-1 and other genogroups.     

Biocatalytic Synthesis of Dihydroxynaphthoic Acids by Cytochrome P450 CYP199A2

CYP199A2, a bacterial P450 monooxygenase from Rhodopseudomonas palustris, was found to exhibit oxidation activity towards three hydroxynaphthoic acids. Whole cells of the recombinant Escherichia coli strain expressing CYP199A2 efficiently catalyzed the regioselective oxidation of 1-, 3-, and 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acids to produce 1,7-, 3,7-, and 6,7-dihydroxynaphthoic acid respectively. These results suggest that CYP199A2 might be a useful oxidation biocatalyst for the synthesis of dihydroxynaphthoic acids.
