Improving the cytochrome P450 enzyme system for electrode-driven biocatalysis of styrene epoxidation
Cytochrome P450 enzymes catalyze a vast array of oxidative and reductive biotransformations that are potentially useful for industrial and pharmaceutical syntheses. Factors such as cofactor utilization and slow reaction rates for nonnatural substrates limit their large-scale usefulness. This paper reports several improvements that make the cytochrome P450cam enzyme system more practical for the epoxidation of styrene. NADH coupling was increased from 14 to 54 mol %, and product turnover rate was increased from 8 to 70 min(-1) by introducing the Y96F mutation to P450cam. Styrene and styrene oxide mass balance determinations showed different product profiles at low and high styrene conversion levels. For styrene conversion less than about 25 mol %, the stoichiometry between styrene consumption and styrene oxide formation was 1:1. At high styrene conversion, a second doubly oxidized product, alpha-hydroxyacetophenone, was formed. This was also the exclusive product when Y96F P450cam acted on racemic, commercially available styrene oxide. The alpha-hydroxyacetophenone product was suppressed in reactions where styrene was present at saturating concentrations. Finally, styrene epoxidation was carried out in an electroenzymatic reactor. In this scheme, the costly NADH cofactor and one of the three proteins (putidaredoxin reductase) are eliminated from the Y96F P450cam enzyme system. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are powerful biocatalysts that have the ability to oxidize a broad range of substrates, often at non-reactive carbon centers. However, incorporation of P450s into synthetic schemes has so far been limited to a few whole-cell transformations. P450 substrates are often hydrophobic and have low water solubility, limiting the amount of product that can be produced. To help overcome this limitation, we have examined P450cam activity in two-phase hexane/water emulsions with and without the anionic surfactant, bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT). Hydroxylation of camphor to hydroxycamphor by the three- component P450cam system was chosen as the model reaction, and regeneration of NADH was accomplished with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (YADH). P450cam was activated in the surfactant-free emulsions, and addition of AOT improved the activity even further, at least over the range of camphor concentrations for which initial rates were readily measurable in all media. The largest observed rate enhancement was 4.5-fold. Nearly 50-times more product was formed in the surfactant-stabilized emulsions than was achieved in aqueous buffer, with total turnover numbers reaching 28,900 for P450cam and 11,800 for YADH. In the absence of surfactant, the two-phase reaction appeared to be mass-transfer limited, while inclusion of AOT alleviated transport limitations and/or afforded a larger interfacial area for P450 activation. The oxidation of hydroxycamphor to 2,5-diketocamphane was also observed, owing to the large concentration of hydroxycamphor relative to camphor in the aqueous phase of the two-phase emulsion. This competing reaction was accompanied by the uncoupled oxidation of NADH (i.e., NADH oxidation without formation of 2,5-diketocamphane), which reduced the availability of NADH for camphor oxidation and further limited the yield of hydroxycamphor in the two-phase emulsions. These results indicate that a surfactant-stabilized two-phase emulsion is a promising reaction medium for practical P450 biocatalysis, although its effectiveness for a given P450/substrate combination can depend on several factors, including competitive or sequential reactions, product inhibition, and NAD(P)H uncoupling. 相似文献

Plant systems utilize a diverse array of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) in their biosynthetic and detoxification pathways. The classic forms of these enzymes are heme-dependent mixed function oxidases that utilize NADPH or NADH and molecular oxygen to produce functionalized organic products. The nonclassical forms are monooxygenases that either do not utilize flavoproteins for dioxygen activation or fail to incorporate molecular oxygen into their final product. Biosynthetic P450s play paramount roles in the synthesis of lignin intermediates, sterols, terpenes, flavonoids, isoflavonoids, furanocoumarins, and a variety of other secondary plant products. Other catabolic P450s metabolize toxic herbicides and insecticides into nontoxic products or, conversely, activate nontoxic substances into toxic products. Biochemical and molecular characterizations on a number of plant P450s have indicated that the relationships between these heme proteins and their substrates are at least as complex as those that exist in mammalian systems. Examples now exist of plant P450s that metabolize: a narrow range of substrates to yield different products, a single substrate to yield different products, multiple substrates to yield the same product, or a single substrate sequentially to yield discrete intermediates in the biosynthesis of a single product. Extensive divergence of catalytic site as well as noncatalytic site residues accounts for the high degree of primary structure variation in the P450 gene superfamily and the diverse array of substrates synthesized and/or detoxified by these proteins. Classic P450s still retain a highly conserved F-G-R-C-G motif in their catalytic site and conserved amino acids in their oxygen binding pocket; nonclassical P450s diverge at several of these positions. A broad range of cloning and transient expression strategies are suitable for plant P450 studies and these have allowed for the isolation and characterization of a number of P450 cDNAs and genes. Because many of these sequences have been cloned only recently, much remains to be learned about the substrate specificities of P450 reactions in plants and the mechanisms by which their genes are regulated. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450cin catalyzes the monooxygenation of 1,8-cineole, which is structurally very similar to d-camphor, the substrate for the most thoroughly investigated cytochrome P450, cytochrome P450cam. Both 1,8-cineole and d-camphor are C(10) monoterpenes containing a single oxygen atom with very similar molecular volumes. The cytochrome P450cin-substrate complex crystal structure has been solved to 1.7 A resolution and compared with that of cytochrome P450cam. Despite the similarity in substrates, the active site of cytochrome P450cin is substantially different from that of cytochrome P450cam in that the B' helix, essential for substrate binding in many cytochrome P450s including cytochrome P450cam, is replaced by an ordered loop that results in substantial changes in active site topography. In addition, cytochrome P450cin does not have the conserved threonine, Thr252 in cytochrome P450cam, which is generally considered as an integral part of the proton shuttle machinery required for oxygen activation. Instead, the analogous residue in cytochrome P450cin is Asn242, which provides the only direct protein H-bonding interaction with the substrate. Cytochrome P450cin uses a flavodoxin-like redox partner to reduce the heme iron rather than the more traditional ferredoxin-like Fe(2)S(2) redox partner used by cytochrome P450cam and many other bacterial P450s. It thus might be expected that the redox partner docking site of cytochrome P450cin would resemble that of cytochrome P450BM3, which also uses a flavodoxin-like redox partner. Nevertheless, the putative docking site topography more closely resembles cytochrome P450cam than cytochrome P450BM3. 相似文献

Cytochromes P450cam and P450BM3 oxidize alpha- and beta-thujone into multiple products, including 7-hydroxy-alpha-(or beta-)thujone, 7,8-dehydro-alpha-(or beta-)thujone, 4-hydroxy-alpha-(or beta-)thujone, 2-hydroxy-alpha-(or beta-)thujone, 5-hydroxy-5-isopropyl-2-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one, 4,10-dehydrothujone, and carvacrol. Quantitative analysis of the 4-hydroxylated isomers and the ring-opened product indicates that the hydroxylation proceeds via a radical mechanism with a radical recombination rate ranging from 0.7 +/- 0.3 x 10(10) s(-1) to 12.5 +/- 3 x 10(10) s(-1) for the trapping of the carbon radical by the iron-bound hydroxyl radical equivalent. 7-[2H]-alpha-Thujone has been synthesized and used to amplify C-4 hydroxylation in situations where uninformative C-7 hydroxylation is the dominant reaction. The involvement of a carbon radical intermediate is confirmed by the observation of inversion of stereochemistry of the methyl-substituted C-4 carbon during the hydroxylation. With an L244A mutation that slightly increases the P450(cam) active-site volume, this inversion is observed in up to 40% of the C-4 hydroxylated products. The oxidation of alpha-thujone by human CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4 occurs with up to 80% C-4 methyl inversion, in agreement with a dominant radical hydroxylation mechanism. Three minor desaturation products are produced, with at least one of them via a cationic pathway. The cation involved is proposed to form by electron abstraction from a radical intermediate. The absence of a solvent deuterium isotope effect on product distribution in the P450cam reaction precludes a significant role for the P450 ferric hydroperoxide intermediate in substrate hydroxylation. The results indicate that carbon hydroxylation is catalyzed exclusively by a P450 ferryl species via radical intermediates whose detailed properties are substrate- and enzyme-dependent. 相似文献

The role of protein structural flexibility and substrate dynamics in catalysis by cytochrome P450 enzymes is an area of current interest. We have addressed these in cytochrome P450(cam) (P450(cam)) and its Y96A mutant with camphor and its related compounds using fluorescence spectroscopy. Previously [Prasad et al. (2000) FEBS Lett. 477, 157-160], we provided experimental support to dynamic fluctuations in P450(cam), and substrate access into the active site region via the channel next to the flexible F-G helix-loop-helix segment. In the investigation described here, we show that the dynamic fluctuations in the enzyme are substrate dependent as reflected by tryptophan fluorescence quenching experiments. The orientation of tryptophan relative to heme (kappa(2)) for W42 obtained from time-resolved tryptophan fluorescence measurements show variation with type of substrate bound to P450(cam) suggesting regions distant from heme-binding site are affected by physicochemical and steric characteristics/protein-substrate interactions of P450(cam) active site. We monitored substrate dynamics in the active site region of P450(cam) by time-resolved substrate anisotropy measurements. The anisotropy decay of substrates bound to P450(cam) indicate that mobility of substrates is modulated by physicochemical and steric characteristics/protein-substrate interactions of local active site structure, and provides an understanding of factors controlling observed hydroxylated products for substrate bound P450(cam) complexes. The present study shows that P450(cam) local and peripheral structural flexibility and heterogeneity along with substrate mobility play an important role in regulating substrate binding orientation during catalysis and accommodating diverse range of substrates within P450(cam) heme pocket. 相似文献

P450 hemeproteins comprise a large gene superfamily that catalyzes monooxygenase reactions in the presence of a redox partner. Because the mammalian members are, without exception, membrane-bound proteins, they have resisted structure-function analysis by means of X-ray crystallographic methods. Among P450-catalyzed reactions, the aromatase reaction that catalyzes the conversion of C19 steroids to estrogens is one of the most complex and least understood. Thus, to better understand the reaction mechanism, we have constructed a three-dimensional model of P450arom not only to examine the active site and those residues potentially involved in catalysis, but to study other important structural features such as substrate recognition and redox-partner binding, which require examination of the entire molecule (excepting the putative membrane-spanning region). This model of P450arom was built based on a "core structure" identified from the structures of the soluble, bacterial P450s (P450cam, P450terp, and P450BM-P) rather than by molecular replacement, after which the less conserved elements and loops were added in a rational fashion. Minimization and dynamic simulations were used to optimize the model and the reasonableness of the structure was evaluated. From this model we have postulated a membrane-associated hydrophobic region of aliphatic and aromatic residues involved in substrate recognition, a redox-partner binding region that may be unique compared to other P450s, as well as residues involved in active site orientation of substrates and an inhibitor of P450arom, namely vorozole. We also have proposed a scheme for the reaction mechanism in which a "threonine switch" determines whether oxygen insertion into the substrate molecule involves an oxygen radical or a peroxide intermediate. 相似文献

The pesticide 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) is a known male reproductive toxin. Previous studies employed production-grade DBCP containing allyl chloride and epichlorohydrin, both capable of producing effects similar to DBCP. The purpose of this study was to determine if purified DBCP caused the same effects as DBCP containing allyl chloride. Rats were injected for 6 mo with varying doses of pure or production-grade DBCP. Very few differences were observed in the parameters measured between pure and production-grade DBCP-treated animals at any one dose level. Treatment with 25 mg/kg DBCP, pure or production grade, reduced body weight as well as the weight of the testes, prostate glands and seminal vesicles, and elevated serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This dose of pure DBCP reduced serum testosterone. Treatment with 5 mg/kg of either grade DBCP caused decreases only in body and testis weights. Animals treated with 1 mg/kg did not show any major differences from controls. These results indicate that DBCP, and probably not a contaminant, is responsible for the effects observed on male reproduction. Furthermore, DBCP appears to affect either androgen action or production since multiple androgenic indices are affected by DBCP administration. 相似文献

Biodehalogenation of 10(-5) M concentrations of bromotrichloromethane (BTM) and 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) was studied in static cultures of Pseudomonas putida PpG-786. The experimental cultures were prepared by growing P. putida on camphor, which is known to induce the synthesis of high concentrations of cytochrome P-450 in this bacterium. Measurements of bromide ion release were found to be approximately consistent with the amounts of halocarbon degraded. Gas chromatography/elctron capture detection (GC/ECD) measurements of hydrocarbon degradation products as a function of incubation time showed the transitory appearance of chloroform and bromodichloromethane from BTM and the transitory appearance of lower boiling but unidentified products from DBCP. The degradation of BTM to trihalomethanes and the halide ion is consistent with the enzymatic reductive dehalogenation by cytochrome P-450 reported by others. The dependence of initial conversion rates on halocarbon concentration (0.1-2 ppm) and cell mass concentration (1-28 g cell/L) was determined by measuring the decline of parent halocarbon in stirred batch cell suspensions. The rate of DBCP conversion was up to 10-fold higher than the rate of BTM conversion. When the intracellular, enzyme-catalyzed conversion BTM is analyzed by the effectiveness factor of heterogeneous catalysis, the initial conversion rates measured suggest that intrinsic enzyme kinetics, rather than halocarbon permeation of the cell membrane or other diffusive processes, is rate limiting. 相似文献

P450cin (CYP176A) is a rare bacterial P450 in that contains an asparagine (Asn242) instead of the conserved threonine that almost all other P450s possess that directs oxygen activation by the heme prosthetic group. However, P450cin does have the neighbouring, conserved acid (Asp241) that is thought to be involved indirectly in the protonation of the dioxygen and affect the lifetime of the ferric-peroxo species produced during oxygen activation. In this study, the P450cin D241N mutant has been produced and found to be analogous to the P450cam D251N mutant. P450cin catalyses the hydroxylation of cineole to give only (1R)-6β-hydroxycineole and is well coupled (NADPH consumed: product produced). The P450cin D241N mutant also hydroxylated cineole to produce only (1R)-6β-hydroxycineole, was moderately well coupled (31 ± 3%) but a significant reduction in the rate of the reaction (2% as compared to wild type) was observed. Catalytic oxidation of a variety of substrates by D241N P450cin were used to examine if typical reactions ascribed to the ferric-peroxo species increased as this intermediate is known to be more persistent in the P450cam D251N mutant. However, little change was observed in the product profiles of each of these substrates between wild type and mutant enzymes and no products consistent with chemistry of the ferric-peroxo species were observed to increase. 相似文献

Ferrous-carbon monoxide bound form of cytochrome P450cam (CO-P450cam) has two infrared (IR) CO stretching bands at 1940 and 1932 cm(-1). The former band is dominant (>95% in area) for CO-P450cam free of putidaredoxin (Pdx), while the latter band is dominant (>95% in area) in the complex of CO-P450cam with reduced Pdx. The binding of Pdx to CO-P450cam thus evokes a conformational change in the heme active site. To study the mechanism involved in the conformational change, surface amino acid residues Arg79, Arg109, and Arg112 in P450cam were replaced with Lys, Gln, and Met. IR spectroscopic and kinetic analyses of the mutants revealed that an enzyme that has a larger 1932 cm(-1) band area upon Pdx-binding has a larger catalytic activity. Examination of the crystal structures of R109K and R112K suggested that the interaction between the guanidium group of Arg112 and Pdx is important for the conformational change. The mutations did not change a coupling ratio between the hydroxylation product and oxygen consumed. We interpret these findings to mean that the interaction of P450cam with Pdx through Arg112 enhances electron donation from the proximal ligand (Cys357) to the O-O bond of iron-bound O(2) and, possibly, promotes electron transfer from reduced Pdx to oxyP450cam, thereby facilitating the O-O bond splitting. 相似文献

A cytochrome P450cam monooxygenase (P450cam) system from the soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida requires electron transfer among three different proteins and a cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), for oxygenation of its natural substrate, camphor. Herein, we report a facile way to significantly enhance the catalytic efficiency of the P450cam system by the coupling of its native electron transfer system with enzymatic NADH regeneration catalyzed by glycerol dehydrogenase (GLD) in Escherichia coli whole cell biocatalysts. Recombinant E. coli harboring the P450cam system, but lacking GLD, exhibited little activity for camphor hydroxylation. In contrast, coexpression of GLD with the proteinaceous electron transfer components of P450cam resulted in about tenfold improvement in the substrate conversion, implying that the whole cell biocatalyst utilized molecular oxygen, endogenous NADH, and glycerol in the cell for catalysis. The addition of glycerol to the reaction media further promoted camphor hydroxylation, suggesting that exogenous glycerol is also available for GLD in the host cell and actively participates in the catalytic cycle. These results clearly show the utility of GLD towards functional reconstruction of the native P450cam system. The present approach may also be useful for E. coli whole cell biocatalysts with the other NADH-dependent oxygenases and oxidoreductases. 相似文献

Cytochromes P450 form a very large superfamily of proteins which metabolize substrates from steroids to fatty acids to drugs and are found in organisms from protists to mammals. P450s all appear to take on a similar structural fold, yet frequently having less than 20% sequence identity and having vastly different substrates. Within the structural fold there appears to be a highly conserved core, as determined from the comparison of the structures of the six crystallized, soluble P450s. There are also variable regions which by and large appear to be associated with substrate recognition, substrate binding, and redox partner binding. Molecular dynamics simulations of motion in P450cam and P450BM-3 indicate that substrate binding and product release require substantial motion around the "substrate access channel." Additionally, at the 11th International Conference on Cytochrome P450 Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology and briefly here, the first structure of a microsomal eukaryotic P450 will be presented and compared to the already determined structures by Drs. Johnson and McRee. Finally, with a better understanding of the structure/function relationship of P450s, one will be better able to modify P450s to metabolize the substrates of choice or produce needed valuable chemicals. 相似文献

Three factors are of primary importance with respect to designing efficient P450 biocatalysts. (1) The substrate must be oxidized at a significant rate. (2) The regioselectivity must heavily favor the desired product. (3) The enzyme must use the majority of the reducing equivalents from NADH or NADPH to produce product. The reaction we chose to study was oxidation of 2-ethylhexanol to 2-ethylhexanoic acid by P450cam. We examined four active site mutations: F87W, Y96W, T185F, and L244A. The mutations were chosen to improve 2-ethyhexanoic acid production by decreasing active site volume, increasing active site hydrophobicity, and improving stereoselectivity. The F87W and Y96W mutations improved regioselectivity, giving almost exclusively the desired product. The T185F mutation improved coupling of NADH to product formation. The L244A mutation altered the stereoselectivity of 2-ethylhexanoic acid production. These results indicate that active site mutations of P450cam can alter catalysis of 2-ethylhexanol. 相似文献

Protein engineering of cytochrome p450(cam) (CYP101) for the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Mutations of the active site residues F87 and Y96 greatly enhanced the activity of cytochrome P450(cam) (CYP101) from Pseudomonas putida for the oxidation of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene. Wild-type P450(cam) had low (<0.01 min(-1)) activity with these substrates. Phenanthrene was oxidized to 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-phenanthrol, while fluoranthene gave mainly 3-fluoranthol. Pyrene was oxidized to 1-pyrenol and then to 1,6- and 1,8-pyrenequinone, with small amounts of 2-pyrenol also formed with the Y96A mutant. Benzo[a]pyrene gave 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene as the major product. The NADH oxidation rate of the mutants with phenanthrene was as high as 374 min(-1), which was 31% of the camphor oxidation rate by wild-type P450(cam), and with fluoranthene the fastest rate was 144 min(-1). The oxidation of phenanthrene and fluoranthene were highly uncoupled, with highest couplings of 1.3 and 3.1%, respectively. The highest coupling efficiency for pyrene oxidation was a reasonable 23%, but the NADH turnover rate was slow. The product distributions varied significantly between mutants, suggesting that substrate binding orientations can be manipulated by protein engineering, and that genetic variants of P450(cam) may be useful for studying the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by P450 enzymes. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450s form a ubiquitous protein family with functions including the synthesis and degradation of many physiologically important compounds and the degradation of xenobiotics. Cytochrome P450cam from Pseudomonas putida has provided a paradigm for the structural understanding of cytochrome P450s. However, the mechanism by which camphor, the natural substrate of cytochrome P450cam, accesses the buried active site is a long-standing puzzle. While there is recent crystallographic and simulation evidence for opening of a substrate-access channel in cytochrome P450BM-3, for cytochrome P450cam, no such conformational changes have been observed either in different crystal structures or by standard molecular dynamics simulations. Here, a novel simulation method, random expulsion molecular dynamics, is presented, in which substrate-exit channels from the buried active site are found by imposing an artificial randomly oriented force on the substrate, in addition to the standard molecular dynamics force field. The random expulsion molecular dynamics method was tested in simulations of the substrate-bound structure of cytochrome P450BM-3, and then applied to complexes of cytochrome P450cam with different substrates and with product. Three pathways were identified, one of which corresponds to a channel proposed earlier on the basis of crystallographic and site-directed mutagenesis data. Exit via the water-filled channel, which was previously suggested to be a product exit channel, was not observed. The pathways obtained by the random expulsion molecular dynamics method match well with thermal motion pathways obtained by an analysis of crystallographic B-factors. In contrast to large backbone motions (up to 4 A) observed in cytochrome P450BM-3 for the exit of palmitoleic acid, passage of camphor through cytochrome P450cam only requires small backbone motions (less than 2.4 A) in conjunction with side-chain rotations. Concomitantly, in almost all the exit trajectories, salt-links that have been proposed to act as ionic tethers between secondary structure elements of the protein, are perturbed. 相似文献

Regioselectivity in the cytochromes P-450: control by protein constraints and by chemical reactivities 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Three alicyclic compounds (D-camphor, adamantanone, adamantane) were found to be hydroxylated by the cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes P-450cam and P-450LM2. With P-450cam as the catalyst only one product was formed from each of the substrates: 5-exohydroxycamphor, 5-hydroxyadamantanone, and 1-adamantanol. With P-450LM2 as the catalyst, two or more isomeric products were formed from each substrate: 3-endo-, 5-exo-, and 5-endo-hydroxycamphor; 4-anti- and 5-hydroxyadamantanone; and 1- and 2- adamantanol. The products from P-450cam hydroxylations were found to be isosteric with one another, suggesting that each of them was attacked at a topologically congruent position within a rigid enzyme-substrate complex. The distribution of products from P-450LM2 hydroxylations, on the other hand, were similar to the distributions expected during solution-phase hydroxylations. Thus, it would appear that the complex which P-450LM2 forms with its substrate allows considerable movement of the substrate molecule, such that most of the hydrogens in the substrate are exposed to the enzymatic hydrogen abstractor. Under these conditions, the distribution of products more nearly reflects the rank order of chemical reactivities of the various hydroxylatable positions, with only a moderate protein-based steric constraint being expressed. These suggestions were also evident in the tightness of binding of the substrates to the two enzymes and in the magnitude of coupling between the substrate binding and the spin-state equilibria. Thus, the product from P-450cam-catalyzed hydroxylation may be predicted by a consideration of the relation of the topology of the prospective substrate to that of D-camphor. The products from P-450LM2-catalyzed hydroxylations, on the other hand, may be approximately predicted from the chemical reactivities of the various abstractable hydrogens in the prospective substrate. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450cam (P450cam) is the terminal monooxygenase in a three-component camphor-hydroxylating system from Pseudomonas putida. The reaction cycle requires two distinct electron transfer (ET) processes from the [2Fe-2S] containing putidaredoxin (Pdx) to P450cam. Even though the mechanism of interaction and ET between the two proteins has been under investigation for over 30 years, the second reductive step and the effector role of Pdx are not fully understood. We utilized mutagenesis, kinetic, and computer modeling approaches to better understand differences between the two Pdx-to-P450cam ET events. Our results indicate that interacting residues and the ET pathways in the complexes formed between reduced Pdx (Pdx(r)) and the ferric and ferrous dioxygen-bound forms of P450cam (oxy-P450cam) are different. Pdx Asp38 and Trp106 were found to be key players in both reductive steps. Compared to the wild-type Pdx, the D38A, W106A, and delta106 mutants exhibited considerably higher Kd values for ferric P450cam and retained ca. 20% of the first electron transferring ability. In contrast, the binding affinity of the mutants for oxy-P450cam was not substantially altered while the second ET rates were <1%. On the basis of the kinetic and modeling data we conclude that (i) P450cam-Pdx interaction is highly specific in part because it is guided/controlled by the redox state of both partners; (ii) there are alternative ET routes from Pdx(r) to ferric P450cam and a unique pathway to oxy-P450cam involving Asp38; (iii) Pdx Trp106 is a key structural element that couples the second ET event to product formation possibly via its "push" effect on the heme-binding loop. 相似文献

Resonance Raman spectroscopy at 2.5cm(-1) resolution was used to probe differences in wild-type and Y96F mutant P450cam (CYP101), both with and without bound camphor or styrene substrates. In the substrate-free state, the spin state equilibrium is shifted from 6-coordinate low spin (6CLS) toward more 5-coordinate high spin (5CHS) when tyrosine-96 in the substrate pocket is replaced by phenylalanine. About 25% of substrate-free Y96F mutant is 5CHS as opposed to 8% for substrate-free wild-type P450cam. Spin equilibrium constants calculated from Raman intensities indicate that the driving force for electron transfer from putidaredoxin, the natural redox partner of P450cam, is significantly smaller on styrene binding than for camphor binding. Spectral differences suggest that there is a tilt in camphor toward the pyrrole III ring on Y96F mutation. This finding is consistent with the altered product distribution found for camphor hydroxylation by the Y96F mutant relative to the single enantiomer produced by the wild-type enzyme. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450cam (CYP101) is a prokaryotic monooxygenase that requires two proteins, putidaredoxin reductase (PdR) and putidaredoxin (Pdx), to supply electrons from NADH. This study addresses the mechanism by which electrons are transported from PdR to P450cam through Pdx and used to activate O(2) at the heme of P450cam. It is shown that k(cat)/Km(O2) is independent of the PdR concentration and hyperbolically dependent on Pdx. The phenomenon of saturation of reaction rates with either P450cam or PdR at high ratios of one enzyme to the other is investigated and shown to be consistent with a change in the rate limiting step. Either the reduction of Pdx by PdR (high P450) or the reduction of P450 by Pdx (high PdR) determines the rate. These data support a mechanism where Pdx acts as a shuttle for transport of electrons from PdR to P450cam, effectively ruling out the formation of a kinetically significant PdR/Pdx/P450cam complex. 相似文献
