The occurrence of cytochrome P450 and P450-mediated pentachlorophenol oxidation in a white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was demonstrated in this study. The carbon monoxide difference spectra indicated induction of P450 (103±13 pmol P450 per mg protein in the microsomal fraction) by pentachlorophenol. The pentachlorophenol oxidation by the microsomal P450 was NADPH-dependent at a rate of 19.0±1.2 pmol min−1 (mg protein)−1, which led to formation of tetrachlorohydroquinone and was significantly inhibited by piperonyl butoxide (a P450 inhibitor). Tetrachlorohydroquinone was also found in the cultures, while the extracellular ligninases which were reported to be involved in tetrachlorohydroquinone formation were undetectable. The formation of tetrachlorohydroquinone was not detectable in the cultures added with either piperonyl butoxide or cycloheximide (an inhibitor of de novo protein synthesis). These results revealed the pentachlorophenol oxidation by induced P450 in the fungus, and it should be the first time that P450-mediated pentachlorophenol oxidation was demonstrated in a microorganism. Furthermore, the addition of the P450 inhibitor to the cultures led to obvious increase of pentachlorophenol, suggesting that the relationship between P450 and pentachlorophenol methylation is worthy of further research. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of the tyrosine-derived cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin involves N-hydroxytyrosine, (E)- and (Z)-p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime, p-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile, and p-hydroxymandelonitrile as intermediates and has been studied in vitro using a microsomal enzyme system obtained from etiolated sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) seedlings. The biosynthesis is inhibited by carbon monoxide and the inhibition is reversed by 450 nm light demonstrating the involvement of cytochrome P-450. The combined use of two differently prepared microsomal enzyme systems and of tyrosine, p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime, and p-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile as substrates identify two cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases: the N-hydroxylase which converts tyrosine into N-hydroxytyrosine and the C-hydroxylase converting p-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile into p-hydroxymandelonitrile. The inhibitory effect of a number of putative cytochrome P-450 inhibitors confirms the involvement of cytochrome P-450. Monospecific polyclonal antibodies raised toward NADPH-cytochrome P-450-reductase isolated from sorghum inhibits the same metabolic conversions as carbon monoxide. No cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase catalyzing an N-hydroxylation reaction has previously been reported in plants. The metabolism of p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime is completely dependent on the presence of NADPH and oxygen and results in the production of p-hydroxymandelonitrile with no accumulation of the intermediate p-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile in the reaction mixture. The apparent NADPH and oxygen requirements of the oxime-metabolizing enzyme are identical to those of the succeeding C-hydroxylase converting p-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile to p-hydroxymandelonitrile. Due to the complex kinetics of the microsomal enzyme system, these requirements may not appertain to the oxime-metabolizing enzyme, which may convert p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime to p-hydroxyacetonitrile by a simple dehydration. 相似文献

Characterization of xenobiotic metabolizing cytochrome P450s (P450s) was carried out in rat brain microsomes using the specific substrates, 7-pentoxy- and 7-ethoxyresorufin (PR and ER), metabolized in the liver by P450 2B1/2B2 and 1A1/1A2 respectively and 7-benzyloxyresorufin (BR), a substrate for both the isoenzymes. Brain microsomes catalysed the O-dealkylation of PR, BR and ER in the presence of NADPH. The ability to dealkylate alkoxyresorufins varied in different regions of the brain. Microsomes from the olfactory lobes exhibited maximum pentoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (PROD), benzyloxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (BROD) and ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) activities. The dealkylation was found to be inducer selective. While pretreatment with phenobarbital (PB; 80 mg/kg; i.p. × 5 days) resulted in significant induction in PROD (3-4 fold) and BROD (4-5 fold) activities, 3-methylcholanthrene (MC; 30 mg/kg; i.p. × 5 days) had no effect on the activity of PROD and only a slight effect on that of BROD (1.4 fold). MC pretreatment significantly induced the activity of EROD (3 fold) while PB had no effect on it. Kinetic studies have shown that this increase in the activities following pretreatment with P450 inducers was associated with a significant increase in the velocity of the reaction (Vmax) of O-dealkylation. In vitro studies using organic inhibitors and antibodies have further provided evidence that the O-dealkylation of alkoxyresorufins is isoenzyme specific. While in vitro addition of a-naphthoflavone (ANF), an inhibitor of P450 1A1/1A2 catalysed reactions and antibody for hepatic P450 1A1/1A2 isoenzymes produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of EROD activity, metyrapone, an inhibitor of P450 2B1/2B2 and antibody for hepatic P450 2B1/2B2 significantly inhibited the activity of PROD and BROD in vitro. The data suggest that, as in the case of liver, dealkylation of alkoxyresorufins can be used as a biochemical tool to characterise the xenobiotic metabolising P450s and substrate selectivity of P450 isoenzymes in rat brain microsomes. 相似文献

Yellow and red-violet betalain plant pigments are restricted to several families in the order Caryophyllales, where betacyanins play analogous biological roles to anthocyanins. The initial step in betalain biosynthesis is the hydroxylation of tyrosine to form L-DOPA. Using gene expression experiments in beets, yeast, and Arabidopsis, along with HPLC/MS analysis, the present study shows that two novel cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes, CYP76AD6 and CYP76AD5, and the previously described CYP76AD1 can perform this initial step. Co-expressing these CYP450s with DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase in yeast, and overexpression of these CYP450s in yellow beets show that CYP76AD1 efficiently uses L-DOPA leading to red betacyanins while CYP76AD6 and CYP76AD5 lack this activity. Furthermore, CYP76AD1 can complement yellow beetroots to red while CYP76AD6 and CYP76AD5 cannot. Therefore CYP76AD1 uniquely performs the beet R locus function and beets appear to be genetically redundant for tyrosine hydroxylation. These new functional data and ancestral character state reconstructions indicate that tyrosine hydroxylation alone was the most likely ancestral function of the CYP76AD alpha and beta groups and the ability to convert L-DOPA to cyclo-DOPA evolved later in the alpha group. 相似文献

A cytochrome P450 (P450) enzyme in porcine liver that catalyzed the phenol-coupling reaction of the substrate (R)-reticuline to salutaridine was previously purified to homogeneity (Amann, T., Roos, P. H., Huh, H., and Zenk, M. H. (1995) Heterocycles 40, 425–440). This reaction was found to be catalyzed by human P450s 2D6 and 3A4 in the presence of (R)-reticuline and NADPH to yield not a single product, but rather (−)-isoboldine, (−)-corytuberine, (+)-pallidine, and salutaridine, the para-ortho coupled established precursor of morphine in the poppy plant and most likely also in mammals. (S)-Reticuline, a substrate of both P450 enzymes, yielded the phenol-coupled alkaloids (+)-isoboldine, (+)-corytuberine, (−)-pallidine, and sinoacutine; none of these serve as a morphine precursor. Catalytic efficiencies were similar for P450 2D6 and P450 3A4 in the presence of cytochrome b5 with (R)-reticuline as substrate. The mechanism of phenol coupling is not yet established; however, we favor a single cycle of iron oxidation to yield salutaridine and the three other alkaloids from (R)-reticuline. The total yield of salutaridine formed can supply the 10 nm concentration of morphine found in human neuroblastoma cell cultures and in brain tissues of mice.Cytochrome P450 (P450)2 enzymes catalyze the most versatile chemical reactions in nature (1). There is, however, a discrepancy between the plant and the animal kingdoms with regard to the sheer number of these biocatalysts. Whereas in a single model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, there are to date 273 P450 proteins, in the human genome, only 57 of these proteins are present. Whereas plants and animals share a multitude of highly regio- and stereospecific O-demethylation reactions, more complex reactions such as phenol coupling are much more abundant in plants than in animals, especially in the alkaloid field (2–11). The proposal of Barton and Cohen (12) correlated the structure of specific plant alkaloids in terms of this reaction mechanism and gave mechanistic proposals of how these phenol-coupled products may possibly be biosynthesized in nature. The oxidation of phenols by one-electron transfer affords radicals, which, by radical pairing, form new C-C or C-O bonds either by intra- or intermolecular coupling. The first two examples that unequivocally demonstrated the formation of C-C and C-O bonds in a stereo- and regioselective manner in plant metabolism are catalyzed by specific P450-linked microsomal-bound plant enzymes (13). One of these enzymes was salutaridine synthase from Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) (14). This synthase catalyzes the intramolecular formation of the critical C12-C13 carbon bridge and is a key enzyme in morphine biosynthesis.The groups of Goldstein (15) and Spector (16) have published a number of reports over the past 25 years claiming that mammals are capable of synthesizing de novo traces of endogenous morphine. However, no convincing experimental data have been presented regarding the enzymes. Phenol-coupling reactions in mammals are extremely rare, and the only example described thus far is the formation of thyroxine, by radical pairing, in humans. If the key step of morphine synthesis, the formation of phenol-coupled salutaridine from (R)-reticuline, occurs in mammals then in analogy to plants, a P450 enzyme must be present (in mammals) to catalyze this reaction. In 1987, the first experiments were conducted in an attempt to discover the reaction by supplying uniformly labeled racemic [3H]reticuline in the presence of rat microsomes and NADPH to examine whether [3H]salutaridine can be formed under these conditions (15). A radioactive compound was formed in 1% yield and assumed to be the phenol-coupled product salutaridine. We later repeated this experiment using (R)-[N-14CH3]reticuline and NADPH-fortified microsomes from pig, rat, cow, and sheep. We observed the formation of [N-14CH3]salutaridine with the correct stereochemistry at carbon 9 (17). The enzyme from porcine liver was subsequently purified to homogeneity and the reaction product was characterized by mass spectrometry and physical parameters to be a product of a P450 enzyme, which we provisionally named “salutaridine synthase” (18). The aim of this report is the identification of the homogenous porcine P450 enzyme, its equivalent in humans, and the mechanism of the phenol-coupling reaction in the formation of precursors of morphine. 相似文献

The cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are found in all biological kingdoms and genome sequencing projects continue to reveal an ever increasing number. The principle aim of this paper is to identify the complete CYPome of Aspergillus nidulans from the genome sequence version AN.3 deposited at the Broad institute, assign the appropriate CYP nomenclature and define function where possible. The completed analysis revealed a total of 111 CYP genes, 3 of which were previously unknown and 8 pseudogenes, representing 89CYP families, 21 of which are unique. We have identified 28 potential gene clusters associated with one or more CYP genes and discussed those with putative PKS and NRPS associated function. The chromosomal location of the genes, predicted cellular location of the proteins and possible function(s) are discussed. 相似文献

Oxygen,iron,and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs;fatty acids containing more than one double bond) are all bene-ficial to our cellular lives.Incorporation of these components into cellular processes,however,comes at a cost:the bis-allylic structure of PUFAs and the enrichment of cellular environments with iron and oxygen render PUFA-containing phospholipids (PUFA-PLs) particularly susceptible to per-oxidation (Yang and Stockwell,2016).Accumulation of lethal amounts of lipid peroxides in cell membranes leads to a form of cell death known as ferroptosis (Dixon et al.,2012;Stockwell et al.,2017;Stockwell and Jiang,2020).Conse-quently,cells are equipped with strong antioxidant defense systems that constantly dissipate toxic lipid peroxides gen-erated in cellular membranes,thereby maintaining cell via-bility and homeostasis (Zheng and Conrad,2020).The most powerful anti-ferroptosis defense system is believed to be mediated by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4),a glutathione peroxidase that uses glutathione as its cofactor to reduce lipid hydroperoxides to non-toxic lipid alcohols (Fig.1)(Zheng and Conrad,2020).A variety of ferroptosis inducers(FINs) act to inactivate GPX4 or deplete glutathione,causing an imbalance between the production and detoxification of lipid peroxides that subsequently induces ferroptotic cell death (Yang et al.,2014).Genetic ablation of GPX4 can have the same effect (Friedmann Angeli et al.,2014). 相似文献

Summary Cytochrome P450 in the mitochondria of the adrenal cortex functions in the monooxygenation reactions for the biosynthesis of various steroid hormones, such as cholesterol side chain cleavage, hydroxylation at 11-position and that at 18-position of the steroid structure. The cytochrome is firmly associated with the mitochondrial membrane and therefore can be isolated only by the aid of ionic or non-ionic detergent. Recently, two cytochromes P450 each catalyzing a specified reaction have been purified to a homogeneous state, that is, P450scc having cholesterol side chain cleavage activity and P45011 having 11-hydroxylation activity. The properties of these purified P450's as well as the other components of the monooxygenase system, adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase, are, therefore, summarized and compared to those of P450 in the mitochondria) preparation in situ.Among many findings, both purified cytochromes P450 were revealed to be a low-spin type hemoprotein and their spin states were changed to a high-spin state by being complexed with the corresponding substrate. The binding of a substrate also facilitated the reduction of the cytochrome and appeared to increase the stability of the oxygenated form of cytochrome P450. These effects are important from the point of view that the primary role of the heme of cytochrome P450 is the activation of molecular oxygen. In addition, the results of our detailed kinetic studies on the transfer of electrons from adrenodoxin to cytochrome P450 in the reconstituted system have also been described Finally, the topology of adrenodoxin and the reductase were shown to be on the inner mitochondrial membrane by a peroxidase-labeled antibody method. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450c17 (P450 17A1, CYP17A1) is a critical enzyme in the synthesis of androgens and is now a target enzyme for the treatment of prostate cancer. Cytochrome P450c17 can exhibit either one or two physiological enzymatic activities differentially regulated by cytochrome b5. How this is achieved remains unknown. Here, comprehensive in silico, in vivo and in vitro analyses were undertaken. Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer analysis showed close interactions within living cells between cytochrome P450c17 and cytochrome b5. In silico modeling identified the sites of interaction and confirmed that E48 and E49 residues in cytochrome b5 are essential for activity. Quartz crystal microbalance studies identified specific protein-protein interactions in a lipid membrane. Voltammetric analysis revealed that the wild type cytochrome b5, but not a mutated, E48G/E49G cyt b5, altered the kinetics of electron transfer between the electrode and the P450c17. We conclude that cytochrome b5 can influence the electronic conductivity of cytochrome P450c17 via allosteric, protein-protein interactions. 相似文献

Two acidic residues, Glu-48 and Glu-49, of cytochrome b5 (b5) are essential for stimulating the 17,20-lyase activity of cytochrome P450c17 (CYP17A1). Substitution of Ala, Gly, Cys, or Gln for these two glutamic acid residues abrogated all capacity to stimulate 17,20-lyase activity. Mutations E49D and E48D/E49D retained 23 and 38% of wild-type activity, respectively. Using the zero-length cross-linker ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, we obtained cross-linked heterodimers of b5 and CYP17A1, wild-type, or mutations R347K and R358K. In sharp contrast, the b5 double mutation E48G/E49G did not form cross-linked complexes with wild-type CYP17A1. Mass spectrometric analysis of the CYP17A1-b5 complexes identified two cross-linked peptide pairs as follows: CYP17A1-WT: 84EVLIKK89-b5: 53EQAGGDATENFEDVGHSTDAR73 and CYP17A1-R347K: 341TPTISDKNR349-b5: 40FLEEHPGGEEVLR52. Using these two sites of interaction and Glu-48/Glu-49 in b5 as constraints, protein docking calculations based on the crystal structures of the two proteins yielded a structural model of the CYP17A1-b5 complex. The appositional surfaces include Lys-88, Arg-347, and Arg-358/Arg-449 of CYP17A1, which interact with Glu-61, Glu-42, and Glu-48/Glu-49 of b5, respectively. Our data reveal the structural basis of the electrostatic interactions between these two proteins, which is critical for 17,20-lyase activity and androgen biosynthesis. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450s in flavonoid metabolism 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In this review, cytochrome P450s characterized at the molecular level catalyzing aromatic hydroxylations, aliphatic hydroxylations and skeleton formation in the flavonoid metabolism are surveyed. They are involved in the biosynthesis of anthocyanin pigments and condensed tannin (CYP75, flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase and 3′-hydroxylase), flavones [CYP93B, (2S)-flavanone 2-hydroxylase and flavone synthase II], and leguminous isoflavonoid phytoalexins [CYP71D9, flavonoid 6-hydroxylase; CYP81E, isoflavone 2′-hydroxylase and 3′-hydroxylase; CYP93A, 3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan 6a-hydroxylase; CYP93C, 2-hydroxyisoflavanone synthase (IFS)]. Other P450s of the flavonoid metabolism include methylenedioxy bridge forming enzyme, cyclases producing glyceollins, flavonol 6-hydroxylase and 8-dimethylallylnaringenin 2′-hydroxylase. Mechanistic studies on the unusual aryl migration by CYP93C, regulation of IFS expression in plant organs and its biotechnological applications are introduced, and flavonoid metabolisms by non-plant P450s are also briefly discussed. 相似文献

Two effective cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibitors were isolated from tarragon, Artemisia dracunculus. Their structures were spectroscopically identified as 2E,4E-undeca-2,4-diene-8,10-diynoic acid isobutylamide (1) and 2E,4E-undeca-2,4-diene-8,10-diynoic acid piperidide (2). Both compounds had dose-dependent inhibitory effects on CYP3A4 activity with IC50 values of 10.0 ± 1.3 µM for compound 1 and 3.3 ± 0.2 µM for compound 2, and exhibited mechanism-based inhibition. This is the first reported isolation of effective CYP inhibitors from tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) purchased from a Japanese market. 相似文献

One of the mRNAs that accumulates during the ripening of avocado (Persea americana Mill. cv Hass) has been previously identified as a cytochrome P450 (P450) monooxygenase and the corresponding gene designated CYP71A1. In this report we demonstrate that during ripening the accumulation of antigenically detected CYP71A1 gene product (CYP71A1) correlates with increases in total P450 and two P450-dependent enzyme activities: para-chloro-N-methylaniline demethylase, and trans-cinnamic acid hydroxylase (tCAH). To determine whether both of these activities are derived from CYP71A1, we have expressed this protein in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) using a galactose-inducible yeast promoter. Following induction, the microsomal fraction of transformed yeast cells undergoes a large increase in P450 level, attributable almost exclusively to the plant CYP71A1 protein. These membranes exhibit NADPH-dependent para-chloro-N-methylaniline demethylase activity at a rate comparable to that in avocado microsomes but have no detectable tCAH. These results demonstrate both that the CYP71A1 protein is not a tCAH and that a plant P450 is fully functional upon heterologous expression in yeast. These findings also indicate that the heterologous P450 protein can interact with the yeast NADPH:P450 reductase to produce a functional complex. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are a large family of heme-containing monooxygenase enzymes involved in the first-pass metabolism of drugs and foreign chemicals in the body. CYP reactions, therefore, are of high interest to the pharmaceutical industry, where lead compounds in drug development are screened for CYP activity. CYP reactions in vivo require the cofactor NADPH as the source of electrons and an additional enzyme, cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR), as the electron transfer partner; consequently, any laboratory or industrial use of CYPs is limited by the need to supply NADPH and CPR. However, immobilizing CYPs on an electrode can eliminate the need for NADPH and CPR provided the enzyme can accept electrons directly from the electrode. The immobilized CYP can then act as a biosensor for the detection of CYP activity with potential substrates, albeit only if the immobilized enzyme is electroactive. The quest to create electroactive CYPs has led to many different immobilization strategies encompassing different electrode materials and surface modifications. This review focuses on different immobilization strategies that have been used to create CYP biosensors, with particular emphasis on mammalian drug-metabolizing CYPs and characterization of CYP electrodes. Traditional immobilization methods such as adsorption to thin films or encapsulation in polymers and gels remain robust strategies for creating CYP biosensors; however, the incorporation of novel materials such as gold nanoparticles or quantum dots and the use of microfabrication are proving advantageous for the creation of highly sensitive and portable CYP biosensors. 相似文献

The presence of oligomers of cytochrome P450 1A2 in membranes of proteoliposomes produced by the cholate-dialysis technique was demonstrated by cross-linking of protein molecules with bifunctional reagents followed by electrophoretic analysis of the modified proteins. A hexameric organization of cytochrome P450 1A2 in the membrane of proteoliposomes is suggested with high probability based on the comparison of the purified hemoprotein oligomeric structure in an aqueous medium and that in the proteoliposomes. The comparison was carried out using the same method. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) complementary DNA was isolated from eel (Anguilla japonica) liver treated with 3-methylcholanthrene. The cDNA contained a 5′ untranslated region of 163 bp, an open reading flame of
1560 bp coding for 519 amino acids and a stop codon, and a 3′ untranslated region of 1730 bp. The predicted molecular weight
was approximately 58.4 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibited identities with reported CYP1A sequences of 80% for
rainbow trout, 79% for scup, 76% for plaice and butterfly fish, and 74% for toadfish. When compared with mammalian CYP proteins,
the eel CYP1A was more similar to CYP1A1 (54%–56%) than to CYP1A2 (49%–52%). Northern and Southern blot analyses showed two
distinct bands, suggesting the existence of another 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible CYP1A gene in eel.

Recently, we reported the spectroscopic and kinetic characterizations of cytochrome P450 compound I in CYP119A1, effectively closing the catalytic cycle of cytochrome P450-mediated hydroxylations. In this minireview, we focus on the developments that made this breakthrough possible. We examine the importance of enzyme purification in the quest for reactive intermediates and report the preparation of compound I in a second P450 (P450ST). In an effort to bring clarity to the field, we also examine the validity of controversial reports claiming the production of P450 compound I through the use of peroxynitrite and laser flash photolysis. 相似文献

The cytochrome P450 OxyD from the balhimycin glycopeptide antibiotic biosynthetic operon of Amycolatopsis mediterranei is involved in the biosynthesis of the modified amino acid β-R-hydroxytyrosine, an essential precursor for biosynthesis of the vancomycin-type aglycone. OxyD binds the substrate tyrosine not free in solution, but rather covalently linked to the carrier protein (CP) domain of the non-ribosomal peptide synthase BpsD, exhibiting micromolar binding affinity to a tyrosine-loaded carrier protein construct. The crystal structure of OxyD was determined to 2.1-Å resolution, revealing a potential binding site for the carrier protein-bound substrate in a different orientation to that seen with the acyl carrier protein-bound P450BioI (Cryle, M. J., and Schlichting, I. (2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 105, 15696–15701). A series of residues were identified across known aminoacyl-CP-oxidizing P450s that are highly conserved and cluster in the active site or potential CP binding site of OxyD. These residues appear to be characteristic for aminoacyl-CP-oxidizing P450s, allowing sequence based identification of P450 function for this subgroup of P450s that play vital roles in the biosyntheses of many important natural products in addition to the vancomycin-type antibiotics. The ability to analyze such P450 function based upon sequence data alone should prove an important tool in the analysis and identification of new medicinally relevant biomolecules. 相似文献

Cytochromes P450 are members of a superfamily of hemoproteins involved in the oxidative metabolism of various physiologic and xenobiotic compounds in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Studies on bacterial P450s, particularly those involved in monoterpene oxidation, have provided an integral contribution to our understanding of these proteins, away from the problems encountered with eukaryotic forms. We report here a novel cytochrome P450 (P450(cin), CYP176A1) purified from a strain of Citrobacter braakii that is capable of using cineole 1 as its sole source of carbon and energy. This enzyme has been purified to homogeneity and the amino acid sequences of three tryptic peptides determined. By using this information, a PCR-based cloning strategy was developed that allowed the isolation of a 4-kb DNA fragment containing the cytochrome P450(cin) gene (cinA). Sequencing revealed three open reading frames that were identified on the basis of sequence homology as a cytochrome P450, an NADPH-dependent flavodoxin/ferrodoxin reductase, and a flavodoxin. This arrangement suggests that P450(cin) may be the first isolated P450 to use a flavodoxin as its natural redox partner. Sequencing also identified the unprecedented substitution of a highly conserved, catalytically important active site threonine with an asparagine residue. The P450 gene was subcloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli at approximately 2000 nmol/liter of original culture, and purification was achieved by standard protocols. Postulating the native E. coli flavodoxin/flavodoxin reductase system might mimic the natural redox partners of P450(cin), it was expressed in E. coli in the presence of cineole 1. A product was formed in vivo that was tentatively identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as 2-hydroxycineole 2. Examination of P450(cin) by UV-visible spectroscopy revealed typical spectra characteristic of P450s, a high affinity for cineole 1 (K(D) = 0.7 microm), and a large spin state change of the heme iron associated with binding of cineole 1. These facts support the hypothesis that cineole 1 is the natural substrate for this enzyme and that P450(cin) catalyzes the initial monooxygenation of cineole 1 biodegradation. This constitutes the first characterization of an enzyme involved in this pathway. 相似文献
