Cytochrome P450 (P450) 7A1 is well known as the cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase, the first enzyme involved in bile acid synthesis from cholesterol. The human enzyme has been reported to have the highest catalytic activity of any mammalian P450. Analyses of individual steps of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylation reaction revealed several characteristics of this reaction: (i) two-step binding of cholesterol to ferric P450, with an apparent K(d) of 0.51 μM, (ii) a rapid reduction rate in the presence of cholesterol (~10 s(-1) for the fast phase), (iii) rapid formation of a ferrous P450-cholesterol-O(2) complex (29 s(-1)), (iv) the lack of a non-competitive kinetic deuterium isotope effect, (v) the lack of a kinetic burst, and (vi) the lack of a deuterium isotope effect when the reaction was initiated with the ferrous P450-cholesterol complex. A minimum kinetic model was developed and is consistent with all of the observed phenomena and the rates of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylation and H(2)O and H(2)O(2) formation. The results indicate that the first electron transfer step, although rapid, becomes rate-limiting in the overall P450 7A1 reaction. This is a different phenomenon compared with other P450s that have much lower rates of catalysis, attributed to the much more efficient substrate oxidation steps in this reaction. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 enzymes have major roles in the metabolism of steroids, drugs, carcinogens, eicosanoids, and numerous other chemicals. The P450s are collectively considered the most diverse catalysts known in biochemistry, although they operate from a basic structural fold and catalytic mechanism. The four minireviews in this thematic series deal with the unusual aspects of catalytic reactions and electron transfer pathway organization, the structural diversity of P450s, and the expanding roles of P450s in disease and medicine. 相似文献

To identify the structural features underlying the distinct substrate and inhibitor profiles of P450 2C19 relative to the closely related human enzymes, P450s 2C8 and 2C9, the atomic structure (Protein Data Bank code 4GQS) of cytochrome P450 2C19 complexed with the inhibitor (2-methyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)methanone (Protein Data Bank chemical component 0XV) was determined to 2.87 Å resolution by x-ray crystallography. The conformation of the peptide backbone of P450 2C19 is most similar to that of P450 2C8, but the substrate-binding cavity of P450 2C8 is much larger than that of P450 2C19 due to differences in the amino acid residues that form the substrate-binding cavities of the two enzymes. In contrast, the substrate-binding cavity of P450 2C19 is much more similar in size to that of the structure of the P450 2C9 flurbiprofen complex than to that of a modified P450 2C9 or that of P450 2C8. The cavities of the P450 2C19 0XV complex and the P450 2C9 flurbiprofen complex differ, however, because the helix B-C loops of the two enzymes are dissimilar. These conformational differences reflect the effects of adjacent structural elements that interact with the B-C loops and that differ between the two enzymes. The availability of a structure for 2C19 will facilitate computational approaches for predictions of substrate and inhibitor binding to this enzyme. 相似文献

The atomic structure of human P450 1B1 was determined by x-ray crystallography to 2.7 Å resolution with α-naphthoflavone (ANF) bound in the active site cavity. Although the amino acid sequences of human P450s 1B1 and 1A2 have diverged significantly, both enzymes exhibit narrow active site cavities, which underlie similarities in their substrate profiles. Helix I residues adopt a relatively flat conformation in both enzymes, and a characteristic distortion of helix F places Phe231 in 1B1 and Phe226 in 1A2 in similar positions for π-π stacking with ANF. ANF binds in a distinctly different orientation in P450 1B1 from that observed for 1A2. This reflects, in part, divergent conformations of the helix B′-C loop that are stabilized by different hydrogen-bonding interactions in the two enzymes. Additionally, differences between the two enzymes for other amino acids that line the edges of the cavity contribute to distinct orientations of ANF in the two active sites. Thus, the narrow cavity is conserved in both P450 subfamily 1A and P450 subfamily 1B with sequence divergence around the edges of the cavity that modify substrate and inhibitor binding. The conservation of these P450 1B1 active site amino acid residues across vertebrate species suggests that these structural features are conserved. 相似文献

Cholesterol is an essential molecule for eukaryotic life and is an important precursor for a wide range of physiological processes. Biosynthesis and homoeostasis of cholesterol are complex mechanisms that are tightly regulated and interlinked with activities of a number of cytochrome P450 enzymes. These P450s play central critical roles in cholesterol metabolism. Key roles include a rate-limiting reaction in the synthesis of cholesterol itself, and in the oxidative transformations of cholesterol into steroid hormones and bile acids. However, microbial P450s also have important roles that impinge directly on human cholesterol synthesis and oxidation. Recent data reveal that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (which infects more than one-third of the world's human population) uses P450s to initiate breakdown of host cholesterol as an energy source. Microbial P450s also catalyse industrially important transformations in the synthesis of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, with clear benefits to humans. The present article reviews the various roles of P450s in human cholesterol metabolism, from endogenous P450s through to microbial oxidases that enable catabolism of human cholesterol, or facilitate production of statins that regulate cholesterol production with positive outcomes in cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

The metabolism and covalent binding of 14C-monocrotaline in Sprague–Dawley (SD) rat liver microsomes was investigated using the inducers dexamethasone, clotrimazole, pregnenolone-16α-carbonitrile, and phenobarbital. Monocrotaline is a pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) that causes a syndrome in rats that is a model for human primary pulmonary hypertension. It has been documented that bioactivation of PAs (dehydrogenation to reactive pyrroles) in the liver by cytochromes P450 is required for their toxicity. Covalent binding of these reactive pyrroles to tissue macromolecules has been hypothesized to correspond to PA toxicosis. We correlated metabolism and total microsomal covalent binding of 14C-monocrotaline with cytochrome P450 3A using the aforementioned inducers, troleandomycin (a cytochrome P450 3A inhibitor), erythromycin N-demethylase assay of cytochrome P450 3A activity, and Western blots employing anti-rat cytochrome P450 3A antibodies. In addition, autoradiography of membranes electroblotted from SDS-PAGE demonstrated the formation of radiolabeled adducts with specific protein(s). The most intensely radiolabeled protein bands have an apparent molecular weight of ∼52 kDa, which was similar to the molecular weight detected by anti-rat cytochrome P450 3A antibodies in the Western blots. No radiolabeled proteins were detected in microsomes pretreated with troleandomycin. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Biochem Toxicol 12: 157–166, 1998 相似文献

X-ray crystal structures are available for 29 eukaryotic microsomal, chloroplast, or mitochondrial cytochrome P450s, including two non-monooxygenase P450s. These structures provide a basis for understanding structure-function relations that underlie their distinct catalytic activities. Moreover, structural plasticity has been characterized for individual P450s that aids in understanding substrate binding in P450s that mediate drug clearance. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) have enormous potential in the production of oxychemicals, due to their unparalleled regio- and stereoselectivity. The Bacillus megaterium P450 BM3 enzyme is a key model system, with several mutants (many distant from the active site) reported to alter substrate selectivity. It has the highest reported monooxygenase activity of the P450 enzymes, and this catalytic efficiency has inspired protein engineering to enable its exploitation for biotechnologically relevant oxidations with structurally diverse substrates. However, a structural rationale is lacking to explain how these mutations have such effects in the absence of direct change to the active site architecture. Here, we provide the first crystal structures of BM3 mutants in complex with a human drug substrate, the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole. Supported by solution data, these structures reveal how mutation alters the conformational landscape and decreases the free energy barrier for transition to the substrate-bound state. Our data point to the importance of such “gatekeeper” mutations in enabling major changes in substrate recognition. We further demonstrate that these mutants catalyze the same 5-hydroxylation reaction as performed by human CYP2C19, the major human omeprazole-metabolizing P450 enzyme. 相似文献

Dihydrotestosterone is a more potent androgen than testosterone and plays an important role in endocrine function. We demonstrated that, like testosterone, dihydrotestosterone can be oxidized by human cytochrome P450 (P450) 19A1, the steroid aromatase. The products identified include the 19-hydroxy- and 19-oxo derivatives and the resulting Δ(1,10)-, Δ(5,10)-, and Δ(9,10)-dehydro 19-norsteroid products (loss of 19-methyl group). The overall catalytic efficiency of oxidation was ~10-fold higher than reported for 3α-reduction by 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the major enzyme known to deactivate dihydrotestosterone. These and other studies demonstrate the flexibility of P450 19A1 in removing the 1- and 2-hydrogens from 19-norsteroids, the 2-hydrogen from estrone, and (in this case) the 1-, 5β-, and 9β-hydrogens of dihydrotestosterone. Incubation of dihydrotestosterone with human liver microsomes and NADPH yielded the 18- and 19-hydroxy products plus the Δ(1,10)-dehydro 19-nor product identified in the P450 19A1 reaction. The 18- and 19-hydroxylation reactions were attributed to P450 3A4, and 18- and 19-hydroxydihydrotestosterone were identified in human plasma and urine samples. The change in the pucker of the A ring caused by reduction of the Δ(4,5) bond is remarkable in shifting the course of hydroxylation from the 6β-, 2β-, 1β-, and 15β-methylene carbons (testosterone) to the axial methyl groups (18, 19) in dihydrotestosterone and demonstrates the sensitivity of P450 3A4, even with its large active site, to small changes in substrate structure. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are a large group of heme-containing enzymes, most of which catalyze hydroxylation reactions.
Since the discovery of cytochrome P450 in plants, more than 500 forms have been found, and they appear to be involved in the
biosynthetic pathways of a large variety of primary and secondary metabolites. In particular, cytochrome P450s are involved
in the biosynthesis of plant hormones, and play important roles in the regulation of plant growth and development. Recent
genetic and functional analyses of cytochrome P450s in plants have significantly improved our understanding of not only the
biosynthetic pathways themselves, but also of plant development from the perspective of hormonal control of morphogenesis.
This review summarizes the present status of research on cytochrome P450s' roles in regulating the biosynthesis of plant hormones.

Previous studies have shown that the combined presence of two cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) can affect the function of both enzymes, results that are consistent with the formation of heteromeric P450·P450 complexes. The goal of this study was to provide direct evidence for a physical interaction between P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) and P450 2B4 (CYP2B4), by determining if the interactions required both enzymes to reside in the same lipid vesicles. When NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and a single P450 were incorporated into separate vesicles, extremely slow reduction rates were observed, demonstrating that the enzymes were anchored in the vesicles. Next, several reconstituted systems were prepared: 1) CPR·CYP1A2, 2) CPR·CYP2B4, 3) a mixture of CPR·CYP1A2 vesicles with CPR·CYP2B4 vesicles, and 4) CPR·CYP1A2·CYP2B4 in the same vesicles (ternary system). When in the ternary system, CYP2B4-mediated metabolism was significantly inhibited, and CYP1A2 activities were stimulated by the presence of the alternate P450. In contrast, P450s in separate vesicles were unable to interact. These data demonstrate that P450s must be in the same vesicles to alter metabolism. Additional evidence for a physical interaction among CPR, CYP1A2, and CYP2B4 was provided by cross-linking with bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate. The results showed that after cross-linking, antibody to CYP1A2 was able to co-immunoprecipitate CYP2B4 but only when both proteins were in the same phospholipid vesicles. These results clearly demonstrate that the alterations in P450 function require both P450s to be present in the same vesicles and support a mechanism whereby P450s form a physical complex in the membrane. 相似文献

Liver microsomes obtained from nine subjects were found to metabolize retinol to polar metabolites, including 4-hydroxyretinol. In a reconstituted monooxygenase system containing human liver P450IIC8, retinol was converted to 4-hydroxyretinol and other polar metabolites, with a Km of 0.071 mM and a Vmax of 1.73 nmol/min/nmol P450. Neither P450IIC9 nor P450IIE1, two other purified human P450s, displayed significant retinol hydroxylase activity. Immunoblots performed with a monospecific antibody directed against human P450IIC8 revealed that appreciable amounts of this enzyme were present in human liver microsomes. The same antibody significantly inhibited retinol metabolism in liver microsomes and in the system reconstituted with P450IIC8. The system reconstituted with P450IIC8 also converted retinoic acid to polar metabolites. Thus, this study shows, for the first time, metabolism of two physiologic substrates by a human liver cytochrome P450 related to a group of "constitutive" rodent P450s believed to participate in the metabolism of endogenous compounds. Through its involvement in vitamin A metabolism, P450IIC8 may participate in maintaining the balance between those vitamin A concentrations that promote cellular integrity (and oppose the development of cancer) and those concentrations that cause cellular toxicity. 相似文献

Steroid hormone hydroxylase specificities of eleven cDNA-expressed human cytochrome P450s 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Steroid hydroxylation specificities were determined for 11 forms of human cytochrome P450, representing four gene families and eight subfamilies, that were synthesized in human hepatoma Hep G2 cells by means of cDNA-directed expression using vaccinia virus. Microsomes isolated from the P450-expressing Hep G2 cells were isolated and then assayed for their regioselectivity of hydroxylation toward testosterone, androstenedione, and progesterone. Four of the eleven P450s exhibited high steroid hydroxylase activity (150-900 pmol hydroxysteroid/min/mg Hep G2 microsomal protein), one was moderately active (30-50 pmol/min/mg) and six were inactive. In contrast, 10 of the P450s effectively catalyzed O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin, a model drug substrate, while only one (P450 2A6) catalyzed significant coumarin 7-hydroxylation. Human P450 4B1, which is expressed in lung but not liver, catalyzed the 6 beta-hydroxylation of all three steroids at similar rates and with only minor formation of other hydroxylated products. Three members of human P450 family 3A, which are expressed in liver and other tissues, also catalyzed steroid 6 beta-hydroxylation as their major activity but, additionally, formed several minor products that include 2 beta-hydroxy and 15 beta-hydroxy derivatives in the case of testosterone. These patterns are similar to those exhibited by rat family 3A P450s. Although several rodent P450s belonging to subfamilies 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D are active steroid hydroxylases, four of five human P450s belonging to these subfamilies exhibited very low activity or were inactive, as were the human 1A and 2E P450s examined in the present study. These studies demonstrate that individual human cytochrome P450 enzymes can hydroxylate endogenous steroid hormones with a high degree of stereospecificity and regioselectivity, and that some, but not all of the human cytochromes exhibit metabolite profiles similar to their rodent counterparts. 相似文献

An immobilized system was developed to detect interactions of human cytochromes P450 (P450) with the accessory proteins NADPH-P450 reductase and cytochrome b(5) (b(5)) using an enzyme-linked affinity approach. Purified enzymes were first bound to wells of a polystyrene plate, and biotinylated partner enzymes were added and bound. A streptavidin-peroxidase complex was added, and protein-protein binding was monitored by measuring peroxidase activity of the bound biotinylated proteins. In a model study, we examined protein-protein interactions of Pseudomonas putida putidaredoxin (Pdx) and putidaredoxin reductase (PdR). A linear relationship (r(2)=0.96) was observed for binding of PdR-biotin to immobilized Pdx compared with binding of Pdx-biotin to immobilized PdR (the estimated K(d) value for the Pdx.PdR complex was 0.054muM). Human P450 2A6 interacted strongly with NADPH-P450 reductase; the K(d) values (with the reductase) ranged between 0.005 and 0.1muM for P450s 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4. Relatively weak interaction was found between holo-b(5) or apo-b(5) (devoid of heme) with NADPH-P450 reductase. Among the rat, rabbit, and human P450 1A2 enzymes, the rat enzyme showed the tightest interaction with b(5), although no increases in 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation activities were observed with any of the P450 1A2 enzymes. Human P450s 2A6, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4 interacted well with b(5), with P450 3A4 yielding the lowest K(d) values followed by P450s 2A6 and 2D6. No appreciable increases in interaction between human P450s with b(5) or NADPH-P450 reductase were observed when typical substrates for the P450s were included. We also found that NADPH-P450 reductase did not cause changes in the P450.substrate K(d) values estimated from substrate-induced UV-visible spectral changes with rabbit P450 1A2 or human P450 2A6, 2D6, or 3A4. Collectively, the results show direct and tight interactions between P450 enzymes and the accessory proteins NADPH-P450 reductase and b(5), with different affinities, and that ligand binding to mammalian P450s did not lead to increased interaction between P450s and the reductase. 相似文献

7-Ketocholesterol is a bioactive sterol, a potent competitive inhibitor of cytochrome P450 7A1, and toxic in liver cells. Multiple origins of this compound have been identified, with cholesterol being the presumed precursor. Although routes for formation of the 7-keto compound from cholesterol have been established, we found that 7-dehydrocholesterol (the immediate precursor of cholesterol) is oxidized by P450 7A1 to 7-ketocholesterol (k(cat)/K(m) = 3 × 10(4) m(-1) s(-1)). P450 7A1 converted lathosterol (Δ(5)-dihydro-7-dehydrocholesterol) to a mixture of the 7-keto and 7α,8α-epoxide products (~1:2 ratio), with the epoxide not rearranging to the ketone. The oxidation of 7-dehydrocholesterol occured with predominant formation of 7-ketocholesterol and with the 7α,8α-epoxide as only a minor product; the synthesized epoxide was stable in the presence of P450 7A1. The mechanism of 7-dehydrocholesterol oxidation to 7-ketocholesterol is proposed to involve a Fe(III)-O-C-C(+) intermediate and a 7,8-hydride shift or an alternative closing to yield the epoxide (Liebler, D. C., and Guengerich, F. P. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 5482-5489). Accordingly, reaction of P450 7A1 with 7-[(2)H(1)]dehydrocholesterol yielded complete migration of deuterium in the product 7-ketocholesterol. The finding that 7-dehydrocholesterol is a precursor of 7-ketocholesterol has relevance to an inborn error of metabolism known as Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) caused by defective cholesterol biosynthesis. Mutations within the gene encoding 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, the last enzyme in the pathway, lead to the accumulation of 7-dehydrocholesterol in tissues and fluids of SLOS patients. Our findings suggest that 7-ketocholesterol levels may also be elevated in SLOS tissue and fluids as a result of P450 7A1 oxidation of 7-dehydrocholesterol. 相似文献

Studies were undertaken to determine the immunochemical relationship between constitutive trout cytochrome P450s and mammalian cytochrome P450IIIA enzymes. Polyclonal antibodies (IgG) generated against trout P450 LMC5 reacted strongly with P450IIIA1 in dexamethasone-induced rat liver microsomes and with P450IIIA4 in human liver microsomes in immunoblots. In contrast, rabbit anti-P450 LMC1 IgG did not recognize these proteins in rat and human liver microsomes. Reciprocal immunoblots using anti-rat P450IIIA1 showed that this antibody does not recognize trout P450 LMC1 or LMC5. However, anti-human P450IIIA4 IgG was found to cross react strongly with P450 LMC1 and LMC5. Progesterone 6 beta-hydroxylase activity of trout liver microsomes, a reaction catalyzed by P450 LMC5, was markedly inhibited by anti-P450IIIA4 and by gestodene, a mechanism-based inactivator of P450IIIA4. These results provide evidence for a close structural similarity between trout P450 LMC5 and human P450IIIA4. 相似文献

If cholesterol is a substrate of P450 3A4, then it follows that it should also be an inhibitor, particularly in light of the high concentrations found in liver. Heme perturbation spectra indicated a K(d) value of 8 μM for the P450 3A4-cholesterol complex. Cholesterol inhibited the P450 3A4-catalyzed oxidations of nifedipine and quinidine, two prototypic substrates, in liver microsomes and a reconstituted enzyme system with K(i) ~ 10 μM in an apparently non-competitive manner. The concentration of cholesterol could be elevated 4-6-fold in cultured human hepatocytes by incubation with cholesterol; the level of P450 3A4 and cell viability were not altered under the conditions used. Nifedipine oxidation was inhibited when the cholesterol level was increased. We conclude that cholesterol is both a substrate and an inhibitor of P450 3A4, and a model is presented to explain the kinetic behavior. We propose that the endogenous cholesterol in hepatocytes should be considered in models of prediction of metabolism of drugs and steroids, even in the absence of changes in the concentrations of free cholesterol. 相似文献

Among the members of the cytochrome P450 superfamily, P450 2E1 is most often associated with the production of reactive oxygen species and subsequent cellular toxicity. We sought to identify a structural basis for this distinguishing feature of P450 2E1 by examining its carbon monoxide binding kinetics as a probe of conformation/dynamics. We employed liver microsomes from wild-type and P450 2E1 knockout mice in order to characterize this P450 in a natural membrane environment. The CO binding kinetics of the P450s of wild-type microsomes had a rapid component that was absent in the knockout microsomes. Data analysis using the maximum entropy method (MEM) correspondingly identified two distinct kinetic components in the wild-type microsomes and only one component in the knockout microsomes. The rapid kinetic component in wild-type microsomes was attributed to endogenous P450 2E1, while the slower component was derived from the remaining P450s. In addition, rapid binding kinetics and a single component were also observed for human P450 2E1 in a baculovirus expression system, in the absence of other P450s. Binding kinetics of both mouse and human P450 2E1 were slowed in the presence of ethanol, a modulator of this P450. The unusually rapid CO binding kinetics of P450 2E1 indicate that it is more dynamically mobile than other P450s and thus able to more readily interconvert among alternate conformations. This suggests that conformational switching during the catalytic cycle may promote substrate release from a short-lived binding site, allowing activated oxygen to attack other targets with toxic consequences. 相似文献

DNA-expressed human cytochrome P450s: a new age of molecular toxicology and human risk assessment 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
It has long been recognized that a large degree of species differences exists among drug and carcinogen metabolizing enzymes. In particular, differences in cytochrome P450s, the principal enzymes of metabolic activation of procarcinogens, are widespread and may determine species and individual susceptibility to cancer causing chemicals. Although species differences in both the regulation and catalytic activities of P450s are quite large, roden-based systems are mainly used as the means to determine the degree of hazard of environmental pollutants, pesticides, drugs and other environmental chemicals to humans. During recent years, a large effort has been expended on analyzing directly the structure, properties and catalytic activities of P450s from human tissues. In vitro mutagen testing systems, based on activation by human P450s, are being developed that will supplement other test systems in order to more accurately predict human risk to chemical exposure. 相似文献
