We have determined eight types of missense mutants of CYP27B1 from Japanese vitamin D-dependent rickets type I (VDDR-I) patients [Kitanaka, S., Takeyama, K., Murayama, A., Sato, T., Okumura, K., Nogami, M., Hasegawa, Y., Niimi, H., Yanagisawa, J., Tanaka, T. & Kato, S. (1998) New England J. Med., 338, 653-661 and Kitanaka, S., Murayama, A., Sakaki, T., Inouye, K., Seino, Y., Fukumoto, S., Shima, M., Yukizane, S., Takayanagi, M., Niimi, H., Takeyama, K. & Kato, S. (1999) J. Clin. Endocrine Metab., 84, 4111-4117]. None of the CYP27B1 mutants showed 1alpha-hydroxylase activity towards 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. Thus, it was assumed that the mutated amino-acid residues play important roles in the 1alpha-hydroxylase activity, such as substrate binding, activation of molecular oxygen, interaction with adrenodoxin, and folding of the cytochrome P450 structure. To examine our hypothesis, we generated various mutants of CYP27B1 and studied their enzymatic properties. In addition, the corresponding mutations were introduced to CYP27A1, which belongs to the same family as CYP27B1. As CYP27A1 showed much higher expression level than CYP27B1 in Escherichia coli, further analysis including heme-binding and substrate-binding was performed with CYP27A1 in place of CYP27B1. Western blot analysis, spectral analysis including reduced CO-difference spectra and substrate-induced difference spectra, and enzymatic analysis of the mutant CYP27A1 gave information on the structure-function relationships of both CYP27A1 and CYP27B1. Although the sequence alignment suggested that Arg107, Gly125, and Pro497 of CYP27B1 might be involved in substrate binding, the experimental data strongly suggested that mutations of these amino-acid residues destroyed the tertiary structure of the substrate-heme pocket. It was also suggested that Arg389 and Arg453 of CYP27B1 were involved in heme-propionate binding, and Asp164 stabilized the four-helix bundle consisting of D, E, I and J helices, possibly by forming a salt bridge. Thr321 was found to be responsible for the activation of molecular oxygen.  相似文献

We previously reported the three-dimensional structure of human CYP27B1 (25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1alpha-hydroxylase) constructed by homology modeling. Using the three-dimensional model we studied the docking of the substrate, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, into the substrate binding pocket of CYP27B1. In this study, we focused on the amino acid residues whose point mutations cause vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1, especially unconserved residues among mitochondrial CYPs such as Gln65 and Thr409. Recently, we successfully overexpressed mouse CYP27B1 by using a GroEL/ES co-expression system. In a mutation study of mouse CYP27B1 that included spectroscopic analysis, we concluded that in a 1alpha-hydroxylation process, Ser408 of mouse CYP27B1 corresponding to Thr409 of human CYP27B1 forms a hydrogen bond with the 25-hydroxyl group of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. This is the first report that shows a critical amino acid residue recognizing the 25-hydroxyl group of the vitamin D3.  相似文献

CYP27B1 (25-hydroxyvitamin D(3)-1alpha-hydroxylase) catalyzes the metabolization of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) the most active natural Vitamin D metabolite. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) plays a role in the regulation of autoimmunity and cell proliferation and prevents the development of autoimmune diabetes mellitus in animal models besides other autoimmune disorders. One hundred and eighty-seven families with one offspring affected with type1diabetes mellitus were genotyped for the polymorphisms in the promoter region (-1260 C/A) and intron 6 (2338 T/C) of the CYP27B1 gene on chromosome 12 q13.1-13.3 and extended transmission disequilibrium tests (ETDT) were performed. The haplotype CT (-1260 A/2338 T) was significantly more often transmitted to affected offspring (96 transmitted (T) versus 63 not transmitted (NT), P = 0.0089). While the AT (-1260 C/2838 T) was significantly less often transmitted (37 T versus 60 NT, P = 0.0195). This study suggests that CYP27B1 haplotypes may confer susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus in Germans.  相似文献

Although local synthesis of 1,25D has been postulated to regulate parameters of cell growth and differentiation in non-renal cells, the physiological role of 1,25D production in bone cells remains unclear. We used the technique of RNA interference to inhibit the mRNA encoding the enzyme responsible for 1,25D synthesis, 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1alpha-hydroxylase (CYP27B1). Human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells were transfected with siRNA for CYP27B1 or non-silencing RNA before being treated with 25D for 48h under normal growth conditions. De novo synthesis of 1,25D was measured in the media as well as mRNA levels for CYP27B1, osteocalcin (OCN) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D 24-hydroxylase (CYP24). We demonstrated that HOS cells express CYP27B1 mRNA, metabolize 25D and secrete detectable levels of de novo synthesized 1,25D. CYP27B1 mRNA silencing by RNAi, resulted in the suppression of 1,25D production and subsequent reduction of OCN and CYP24 mRNA expression. Our findings suggest that local 1,25D synthesis has paracrine effects in the bone microenvironment implying that vitamin D metabolism in human osteoblasts represents a physiologically important pathway, possibly regulating the maturation of osteoblasts.  相似文献

1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and 25(OH)D(3) have been associated with type 1 diabetes. Diverse enzymes are involved in the synthesis of these metabolites: the 25-Vitamin-D-hydroxylase (CYP2R1), the 25-hydroxyvitamin-D(3)-1-alpha-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) and the 25(OH)D(3)-24-hydroxylase (CYP24) among others. Serum levels of 25(OH)D(3) and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) were investigated in type 1 diabetes patients (n=173) and the mRNA expression of the CYP2R1, CYP27B1 and CYP24 genes in type 1 diabetes patients (n=33) and healthy controls (n=23). These parameters were correlated with the -1260 (C/A) polymorphism in the CYP27B1 gene. Lower expression of CYP27B1 mRNA in comparison with healthy controls (1.7165 versus 1.7815, P=0.0268) was found. Additionally, patients carrying the genotype CC possessed a reduced amount of CYP27B1 mRNA compared to healthy controls (1.6855 versus 1.8107, respectively, P=0.0220). The heterozygosity rate of the -1260 C/A polymorphism was more frequent in patients with normal levels of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) (> or =19.9 pmol/ml) than in whose with a level of less than 19.9 pmol/ml (46.7% versus 22.2%, P=0.0134). No correlation with serum levels of 25(OH)D(3) was found. Thus, CYP27B1 gene could play a functional role in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes through modulation of its mRNA expression and influence serum levels of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) via the -1260 C/A polymorphism.  相似文献

Mutations in the human 25-hydroxyvitamin-D(3)-1alpha-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) gene cause pseudo vitamin D deficiency rickets (PDDR). The kidney is the main site of expression of the CYP27B1 gene, but expression has been documented in other cell types, including chondrocytes. We engineered a tissue-specific and a conventional knockout of CYP27B1 in mice. The conventional knockout strain reproduced the PDDR phenotype. Homozygote mutant animals were treated with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) or fed a high-calcium diet (2% calcium, 1.25% phosphate, 20% lactose) for 5 weeks post-weaning. Blood biochemistry revealed that both rescue treatments corrected the hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Bone histomorphometry confirmed that rickets were cured. The rescue regimen restored the biomechanical properties of the bone tissue. Mice carrying the loxP-bearing allele were bred to transgenic animals expressing the Cre recombinase in chondrocytes under the control of the collagen type II promoter. Genotyping confirmed excision of exon 8 in chondrocytes. Serum biochemistry revealed that mineral ion homeostasis is normal in mutant animals. Preliminary observation of bone tissue from mutant mice did not reveal major changes to the growth plate. Precise histomorphometric analysis will be required to assess the impact of chondrocyte-specific inactivation of CYP27B1 on the maturation and function of growth plate cells in vivo.  相似文献

A 7 alpha-hydroxylation is necessary for conversion of both cholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol into bile acids. According to current theories, cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A) is responsible for the former and oxysterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7B) for the latter reaction. CYP7A is believed to have a very high substrate specificity whereas CYP7B is active toward oxysterols, dehydroepiandrosterone, and pregnenolone. In the present study, 7 alpha-hydroxylation of various oxysterols in liver and kidney was investigated. Surprisingly, human cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, CYP7A, expressed as a recombinant in Escherichia coli and COS cells, was active toward 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, and 27-hydroxycholesterol. This enzyme has previously been thought to be specific for cholesterol and cholestanol. A partially purified and reconstituted cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase enzyme fraction from pig liver showed 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity toward the same oxysterols as metabolized by expressed recombinant human and rat CYP7A. The 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity toward 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, and 27-hydroxycholesterol in rat liver was significantly increased by treatment with cholestyramine, an inducer of CYP7A. From the present results it may be concluded that CYP7A is able to function as an oxysterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, in addition to the previously known human oxysterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, CYP7B. These findings may have implications for oxysterol-mediated regulation of gene expression and for pathways of bile acid biosynthesis. A possible use of 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol as a marker substrate for CYP7A is proposed.  相似文献

Genetics of vitamin D 1alpha-hydroxylase deficiency in 17 families.   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
Vitamin D-dependent rickets type I (VDDR-I), also known as pseudo-vitamin D-deficiency rickets, appears to result from deficiency of renal vitamin D 1alpha-hydroxylase activity. Prior work has shown that the affected gene lies on 12q13.3. We recently cloned the cDNA and gene for this enzyme, mitochondrial P450c1alpha, and we and others have found mutations in its gene in a few patients. To determine whether all patients with VDDR-I have mutations in P450c1alpha, we have analyzed the P450c1alpha gene in 19 individuals from 17 families representing various ethnic groups. The whole gene was PCR amplified and subjected to direct sequencing; candidate mutations were confirmed by repeat PCR of the relevant exon from genomic DNA from the patients and their parents. Microsatellite haplotyping with the markers D12S90, D12S305, and D12S104 was also done in all families. All patients had P450c1alpha mutations on both alleles. In the French Canadian population, among whom VDDR-I is common, 9 of 10 alleles bore the haplotype 4-7-1 and carried the mutation 958DeltaG. This haplotype and mutation were also seen in two other families and are easily identified because the mutation ablates a TaiI/MaeII site. Six families of widely divergent ethnic backgrounds carried a 7-bp duplication in association with four different microsatellite haplotypes, indicating a mutational hot spot. We found 14 different mutations, including 7 amino acid replacement mutations. When these missense mutations were analyzed by expressing the mutant enzyme in mouse Leydig MA-10 cells and assaying 1alpha-hydroxylase activity, none retained detectable 1alpha-hydroxylase activity. These studies show that most if not all patients with VDDR-I have severe mutations in P450c1alpha, and hence the disease should be referred to as "1alpha-hydroxylase deficiency."  相似文献

Human CYP27A1 is a mitochondrial cytochrome P450, which is principally found in the liver and plays important roles in the biological activation of vitamin D(3) and in the biosynthesis of bile acids. We have applied a systematic analysis of hydrogen bonding patterns in 11 prokaryotic and mammalian CYP crystal structures to construct a homology-based model of CYP27A1. Docking of vitamin D(3) structures into the active site of this model identified potential substrate contact residues in the F-helix, the beta-3 sheet, and the beta-5 sheet. Site-directed mutagenesis and expression in COS-1 cells confirmed that these positions affect enzymatic activity, in some cases shifting metabolism of 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D(3) to favor 25- or 27-hydroxylation. The results suggest that conserved hydrophobic residues in the beta-5 hairpin help define the shape of the substrate binding cavity and that this structure interacts with Phe-248 in the F-helix. Mutations directed toward the beta-3a strand suggested a possible heme-binding interaction centered on Asn-403 and a structural role for substrate contact residues Thr-402 and Ser-404.  相似文献

The developmental variation of cytochrome P450 (CYP)7A1, CYP7B1, CYP27A1, and 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-C(27)-steroid dehydrogenase, key enzymes in bile acid biosynthesis, were investigated in pigs of different ages. As part of these studies, peptide sequences from a purified pig liver oxysterol 7alpha-hydroxylase were analyzed. The sequences showed a high degree of identity with those of murine and human CYP7B1. Enzymatic activities and mRNA levels of CYP27A1 and 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-C(27)-steroid dehydrogenase were similar in livers of newborn and 6-month-old pigs. Enzymatic activity mediated by CYP7A1 increased several-fold between infancy and adolescence. Hepatic CYP7A1 and CYP7B1 mRNA levels increased several-fold with age. Hepatic microsomal 7alpha-hydroxylation of 27-hydroxycholesterol and dehydroepiandrosterone, substrates typical for CYP7B1, increased about 5-fold between infancy and adolescence whereas the activities in kidney microsomes decreased at least 10-fold. In conclusion, the results indicate that the expression of CYP27A1 and 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-C(27)-steroid dehydrogenase are similar in livers of newborn and 6-month-old pigs whereas the levels of CYP7A1 increase. The finding that the levels of CYP7B1 increase with age in the liver but decrease in the kidney suggest a tissue-specific developmental regulation of CYP7B1. The age-dependent variation in the liver and kidney suggests that hormonal factors are involved in the regulation of CYP7B1.  相似文献

AIMS: Steroid 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11beta-OHD) is the second most common (5-8%) cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), and results from homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations or deletions of the responsible gene CYP11B1. In order to better understand the molecular basis causing 11beta-OHD, we performed detailed studies of CYP11B1 in a newly described patient diagnosed with the classical signs of 11beta-OHD. METHODS:CYP11B1 of the patient was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, Southern blotting, and transient cell expression. RESULTS: We identified two new mutated alleles in CYP11B1. In one allele CYP11B1 has a g.940G-->C (p.G314R) missense mutation. On the other allele we found a chimeric gene that consists of part of the aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) at exons 1-3 and part of the 11beta-hydroxylase gene (CYP11B1) at exons 4-9. Inin vitro studies, the g.940G-->C (p.G314R) mutation abolished all hydroxylase activity in comparison with the wild-type 11beta-hydroxylase. The chimeric CYP11B2/CYP11B1 protein retained 11beta-hydroxylase enzymatic activity in vitro. CONCLUSION: This case is caused by compound heterozygosity for a nonfunctional missense mutation and a chimeric CYP11B2/CYP11B1 gene with hydroxylase activity that is controlled by the CYP11B2 promoter. The most likely explanation is that the CYP11B2 promoter does not function in the zona fasciculata/reticularis where cortisol is exclusively synthesized.  相似文献

CYP7B1 mutations have been linked directly with the neurodegenerative disease hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), with mutations in the CYP7B1 gene identified as being directly responsible for autosomal recessive HSP type 5A (SPG5). To evaluate the potential impact of CYP7B1 mutations identified in SPG5 on binding and protein function, a comparative model of cytochrome P450 7B1 (CYP7B1) was constructed using human CYP7A1 as a template during model construction. The secondary structure was predicted using the PSIPRED and GOR4 prediction methods, the lowest energy CYP7B1 model was generated using MOE, and then this model was assessed in terms of stereochemical quality and the side chain environment using RAMPAGE, Verify3D and ProSA. Evaluation of the active site residues of the CYP7B1 model and validation of the active site architecture were performed via molecular docking experiments: the docking of the substrates 25-hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol and the inhibitor 3α-Adiol identified structurally and functionally important residues. Mutational analysis of CYP7B1 amino acid mutations related to hereditary spastic paraplegia type 5 considered phosphorylation, ligand/substrate binding and the structural roles of mutated amino acid residues, with R112, T297 and S363 mutations expected to have a direct impact on ligand binding, while mutations involving R417 would indirectly affect ligand binding as a result of impairment in catalytic function.  相似文献

The enzyme 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) is the rate limiting enzyme in the two-step activation process of Vitamin D to its active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) and is located in the mitochondrial fraction of the proximal tubular cells of the kidney. More recently CYP27B1 activity and expression have also been identified in a number of non-renal cells, which is suggestive of new, previously unidentified roles for Vitamin D in the human body. Although the regulation of CYP27B1 activity and expression has been a major focus of interest over the past decades, the exact molecular mechanism behind the regulation of CYP27B1 activity and expression and the role of the CYP27B1 promoter, herein, are still poorly understood. In this study, we created a transgenic mouse model that expresses the luciferase reporter gene under the control of the full-length, 1.5kb, human CYP27B1 promoter. This animal model allows us to study in vivo the tissue-specific, CYP27B1 promoter-controlled, regulation of the expression of the CYP27B1 gene.  相似文献
