Comparative functional characterization of a novel benzoate hydroxylase cytochrome P450 of Fusarium oxysporum

FoCYP53A19, a novel cytochrome P450 capable of performing benzoate hydroxylation, was identified and characterized from the ascomycete Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. Comparative functional analysis of FoCYP53A19 with the heterologous and homologous cytochrome P450 reductases (CPR) such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScCPR), Candida albicans (CaCPR) and F. oxysporum (FoCPR) revealed novel catalytic properties. The catalytic efficiency and substrate specificity of FoCYP53A19 were significantly influenced and altered by the source of the reductase employed. The yeast reconstitution system of FoCYP53A19 with ScCPR performed the hydroxylation of benzoic acid (BA) and demethylation of 3-methoxybenzoic acid (3-MBA); but when reconstituted with CaCPR, FoCYP53A19 performed only the essential hydroxylation of fungal benzoate catabolism. Remarkably, FoCYP53A19 with its homologous reductase FoCPR, not only demonstrated the improved conversion rates of BA and 3-MBA, but also exhibited activity toward the hydroxylation of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid. The electron transfer compatibility and the coupling efficiency between the homologous FoCYP-FoCPR system are significant and it favored enhanced monooxygenase activity with broader substrate specificity.     

Interactions of mammalian cytochrome P450, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, and cytochrome b(5) enzymes

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.

云芝Trametes versicolor具有很强的环境有机污染物降解能力,其烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸-细胞色素P450还原酶(NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase,CPR)为细胞色素P450酶(Cytochrome P450s,CYPs)提供电子,参与有机污染物的降解过程。序列分析显示,云芝基因组拥有1个潜在CPR序列和多个潜在CYP序列。为深入研究云芝CPR参与细胞降解有机污染物的分子机制,实验进行了云芝CPR在大肠杆菌中异源表达和酶学特性分析。结果表明,经IPTG诱导后,去除预测的N端膜锚定区域(氨基酸残基1–24)的CPR蛋白(CPRΔ24)可在重组菌中实现可溶性表达,且表达蛋白的分子量与理论值(78 kDa)一致。镍离子亲和层析和分子筛层析纯化后测得其比活性为5.82 U/mg。酶学性质分析显示,重组CPRΔ24的最适温度和pH分别为35℃和8.0,并对一些金属离子及有机溶剂具有不同程度的耐受性。酶在35℃、pH 8.0反应条件下对NADPH的动力学参数K_m和k_(cat)分别为19.7μmol/L、3.31/s;对底物细胞色素c的动力学参数K_m和k_(cat)分别为25.9μmol/L、10.2/s。以上研究为探究云芝CPR在环境有机污染物降解途径中的功能机制奠定基础。     

Purification, cDNA cloning and functional expression of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase from Centaurium erythraea cell cultures

Solubilised NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) was purified from the microsomal fraction of centaury ( Centaurium erythraea ) cell cultures by Q-anion exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography on adenosine 2',5'-diphosphate agarose. SDS-PAGE demonstrated the presence of three CPR isoforms with molecular masses of 77, 79 and 81 kDa. The 79- and 81-kDa isoforms were identified as glycoproteins when blotted following SDS-PAGE and subjected to a sugar detection procedure. A homology-based approach led to the isolation of a CPR cDNA encoding the 77-kDa isoform. The enzyme was a class I CPR, possessing a short N-terminus upstream of the membrane anchor. The amino acid sequence contained a putative N -glycosylation site, indicating that the two major isoforms of 77 and 79 kDa are related through attachment of an oligosaccharide chain. This glycosylation process was also found upon heterologous expression in yeast. When co-expressed in yeast together with centaury coniferyl alcohol 5-hydroxylase, CPR efficiently supported the activity of the P450 enzyme. The genome of C. erythraea was found to contain a second CPR gene. RT-PCR experiments using gene-specific primers revealed differential regulation of the two CPR genes. While CPR 2 mRNA was strongly induced by the addition of methyl jasmonate to the cell cultures, the CPR 1 expression level did not change after this elicitation.     

Effect of selenolipoic acid on peroxynitrite-dependent inactivation of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase

Seleno-organic compounds are known as efficient “scavengers” of peroxynitrite (PN). Here we studied the protective effect of selenolipoic acid (SeLA), the seleno-containing analogue of lipoic acid, on peroxynitrite-dependent inactivation of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase. 3-Morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride (SIN-1) was used as a source of peroxynitrite. The reductase was irreversibly inactivated by PN generated from SIN-1. The inactivation occurred with the rate constant of about 3 × 10⁴M^-1s^-1. The presence of SeLA at low concentration (0.5 μM) led to synergistic increase of the reductase inactivation by PN. Our results suggest the formation of a reactive derivative of SeLA in the reaction of SeLA with PN, probably selenolseleninate, that mediates the aggravation of reductase inactivation. In the presence of SeLA, the inactivation was reversible under the action of thiols, allowing us to conclude that the observed action of SeLA may be considered as protective.
