The fer gene from Bacillus subtilis has been subcloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli and the protein (Fer) purified to homogeneity. N-Terminal sequencing and mass spectrometry indicate that the initiator methionine is removed from the protein and that the molecular mass is 8732 Da consistent with that deduced from the gene sequence. Amino-acid sequence comparisons indicate that Fer is a ferredoxin containing a 4Fe-4S cluster. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of the reduced form of Fer is typical for a [4Fe-4S](+) cluster showing rhombic signals with g values of 2.07, 1.93 and 1.88. Reduced Fer also gives rise to a magnetic circular dichroism spectrum typical of a [4Fe-4S](+) cluster. Potentiometric titrations indicate that Fer has a reduction potential of -385+/-10 mV for the [4Fe-4S](+)-[4Fe-4S](2+) redox couple, well within the normal range expected for such a ferredoxin. A proposed physiological role for Fer is as an electron donor to cytochrome P450 BioI. Studies on Fer binding to P450 BioI give rise to a K(d) value of 0.87+/-0.10 microM. Anaerobic experiments using CO-saturated buffer indicate that Fer is indeed capable of transferring electrons to this cytochrome P450 albeit at a fairly low rate. 相似文献

At least 35 cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) or cytochrome P450-like genes have been identified in 10 cyanobacterial genomes yet none have been functionally characterized. CYP110 and CYP120 represent the two largest cyanobacterial P450 families with 16 and four members, respectively, identified to date. The Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 CYP120A1 protein sequence shares high degrees of conservation with CYP120A2 from Trichodesmium erythraeum IMS101 and CYP120B1 and CYP120C1 from Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102. In this communication, we report the cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of CYP120A1 from Synechocystis. Homology modeling predictions of the three-dimensional structure of CYP120A1 coupled with in silico screening for potential substrates and experimental spectroscopic analyses have identified retinoic acid as a compound binding with high affinity to this P450's catalytic site. These characterizations of Synechocystis CYP120A1 lay the initial foundations for understanding the basic role of cytochrome P450s in cyanobacteria and related organisms. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 enzymes are hemeproteins that catalyze the monooxygenation of a wide‐range of structurally diverse substrates of endogenous and exogenous origin. These heme monooxygenases receive electrons from NADH/NADPH via electron transfer proteins. The cytochrome P450 enzymes, which constitute a diverse superfamily of more than 8,700 proteins, share a common tertiary fold but < 25% sequence identity. Based on their electron transfer protein partner, cytochrome P450 proteins are classified into six broad classes. Traditional methods of protein classification are based on the canonical paradigm that attributes proteins’ function to their three‐dimensional structure, which is determined by their primary structure that is the amino acid sequence. It is increasingly recognized that protein dynamics play an important role in molecular recognition and catalytic activity. As the mobility of a protein is an intrinsic property that is encrypted in its primary structure, we examined if different classes of cytochrome P450 enzymes display any unique patterns of intrinsic mobility. Normal mode analysis was performed to characterize the intrinsic dynamics of five classes of cytochrome P450 proteins. The present study revealed that cytochrome P450 enzymes share a strong dynamic similarity (root mean squared inner product > 55% and Bhattacharyya coefficient > 80%), despite the low sequence identity (< 25%) and sequence similarity (< 50%) across the cytochrome P450 superfamily. Noticeable differences in Cα atom fluctuations of structural elements responsible for substrate binding were noticed. These differences in residue fluctuations might be crucial for substrate selectivity in these enzymes. 相似文献

P-450 human-2 is a human cytochrome P-450 that is immunochemically related to a constitutive male-specific cytochrome P-450 (P-450-male) and the phenobarbital-inducible P-450b/e in rat liver. By screening a human liver cDNA library in bacteriophage lambda gt11, we isolated a clone with an insert length of 1,847 bases (pHY13). The clone was sequenced and shown to code for a protein of 487 amino acids. The N-terminal 11-amino-acid sequence was in agreement with the protein sequence of P-450 human-2. The nucleotide sequence of pHY13 showed less than 50% similarity with those of human cytochrome P-450s, pHP-450(1), HLp, P-450NF, P1-450 4, and P3(450), but the nucleotide sequence of pHY13 is 80% similar to the reported sequence of rat cytochrome P-450, P-450(M-1). In addition, the coding sequence of pHY13 showed close similarity to that of MP-8, which was recently reported as the sequence corresponding to human cytochrome P-450MP, although no apparent similarity was observed in their 3' non-coding sequences except for the first 75 bases and the expected length of the complete sequences. These results, together with the immunochemical data, indicate that P-450 human-2 is closely related, but not identical, to P-450MP, and may belong to the category of developmentally regulated constitutive cytochrome P-450s. 相似文献

In our previous report we showed cytochrome b5 to be a competitive inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) for interaction with cytochrome P450 (P450). While P450 was phosphorylated, cytochrome b5 was not. The phosphorylation of P450 resulted in an inhibition of its catalytic activity. In this report we attempt to determine the relationship between phosphorylation of P450 from phenobarbital-induced rat and its destruction. The results indicate there is a considerable alteration of P450 IIB1 when it is put into the phosphorylation medium. This includes destruction, i.e., loss of the hemoprotein nature (Soret peak), as well as denaturation, conversion of a proportion of the P450 to P420. The extent of phosphorylation correlated best with the amount of destroyed hemoprotein, and not with the formation of P420. There did not appear to be phosphorylation-dependent formation of apo-P450. Further, prior conversion of the P450 to P420 using sodium deoxycholate showed the same extent of phosphorylation as before the conversion. Thus, intact P450 is not required for phosphorylation nor is phosphorylation a prerequisite for hemoprotein destruction. P450 CAM (CIA1), which has the PKA substrate recognition sequence internalized, likewise undergoes conversion to P420 but this denaturation does not result in phosphorylation. Destruction of CIA1 with 6 M urea, however, did permit phosphorylation by PKA. P450 IIB1 destruction was greatly diminished by cytochrome b5. This stabilization resulted in a decreased degree of phosphorylation as well as an increase in negative ellipticity in circular dichroism, indicative of an increase in the proportion of alpha-helical content in the P450. Suggestions are made that this structural modification caused by cytochrome b5 stabilizes the P450 against denaturation as well as against destruction and phosphorylation. Further, when the P450 IIB1 was kept stable as P450 in the absence of cytochrome b5 and without loss of hemoprotein during the incubation period, using phosphate-glycerol buffer containing 0.4% Emulgen 911, the phosphorylation of the P450 was greatly diminished, with only minor effects on the protein kinase reaction itself. These results suggest that the protein kinase reaction itself. These results suggest that the protein kinase substrate recognition sequence is not readily accessible to PKA in mammalian P450 IIB1 but requires a destabilization of the protein for phosphorylation to take place. 相似文献

We have determined the genome sequence of 8.7 Mb chromosome of Streptomyces peucetius ATCC 27952, which produces clinically important anthracycline chemotherapeutic agents of the polyketide class of antibiotics, daunorubicin and doxorubicin. The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily is represented by 19 sequences in the S. peucetius. Among those, 15 code for functional genes, whereas the remaining four are pseudo genes. CYPs from S. peucetius are phylogenetically close to those of Streptomyces amermitilis. Four CYPs are associated with modular PKS of avermectin and two with doxorubicin biosynthetic gene cluster. CYP252A1 is the new family found in S. peucetius, which shares 38% identity to CYP51 from Streptomyces coelicolor A3 (2). Nine CYPs from S. peucetius are found in the cluster containing various regulatory genes including rar operon, conserved in S. coelicolor A3 (2) and Streptomyces griseus. Although two ferredoxins and four ferredoxin reductases have been identified so far, only one ferredoxin reductase was found in the cluster of CYP147F1 in S. peucetius. To date, 174 CYPs have been described from 45 Streptomyces species in all searchable databases. However, only 18 CYPs are clustered with ferredoxin. The comparative study of cytochrome P450s, ferredoxins, and ferredoxin reductases should be useful for the future development and manipulation of antibiotic biosynthetic pathways. 相似文献

The conditions for heterologous expression of recombinant bovine adrenodoxin in E. coli have been optimized, thus reaching expression levels up to 12-14 micromoles per liter of culture medium. A highly efficient method for purification of this recombinant ferredoxin from the E. coli cells has been developed. The structural-functional properties of the highly purified recombinant protein have been characterized and compared to those of natural adrenodoxin purified from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria. In contrast to natural adrenodoxin, which is characterized by microheterogeneity, the recombinant adrenodoxin is homogeneous as judged by N- and C-terminal amino acid sequencing, and its sequence corresponds to the full-length mature form of adrenodoxin containing 128 amino acid residues. The interactions of the natural and recombinant adrenodoxins with cytochrome P450scc have been studied and compared with respect to: the efficiency of their enzymatic reduction of cytochrome P450scc in a reconstituted system; the ability of the immobilized adrenodoxins to bind cytochrome P450scc; the ability of the adrenodoxins to induce a spectral shift of cytochrome P450scc and to effect the average polarity of exposed tyrosines in the low-spin cytochrome P450scc. The recombinant adrenodoxin is functionally active and in the reduced state as well as at low ionic strength it displays higher affinity to cytochrome P450scc as compared to the natural bovine adrenocortical adrenodoxin. The possible role of the C-terminal sequence of the adrenodoxin molecule in its interaction with cytochrome P450scc as well as the advantages of using the recombinant protein instead of the natural one are discussed. 相似文献

A thorough understanding of the sequence–structure–function relationships of cytochrome P450 (P450) is necessary to better understand the metabolic diversity of living organisms. Significant amounts of pure enzymes are sometimes required for biochemical studies, and their acquisition often relies on the possibility of their heterologous expression. In this study, we performed extensive heterologous expression of fungal P450s in Escherichia coli using 304 P450 isoforms. Using large-scale screening, we confirmed that at least 27 P450s could be expressed with/without simple sequence deletion at the 5′ end of cDNAs, which encode the N-terminal hydrophobic domain of the enzyme. Moreover, we identified N-terminal amino acid sequences that can potentially be used to construct chimeric P450s, which could dramatically improve their expression levels even when the expression of the wild-type sequence was unpromising. These findings will help increase the chance of heterologous expression of a variety of fungal and other eukaryotic membrane-bound P450s in E. coli. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of the lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase (ERG11) gene in Cryptococcus neoformans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The ergosterol pathway in fungal pathogens is an attractive antimicrobial target because it is unique from the major sterol (cholesterol) producing pathway in humans. Lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase is the target for a major class of antifungals, the azoles. In this study we have isolated the gene for this enzyme from Cryptococcus neoformans. The gene, ERG11, was recovered using degenerate PCR with primers designed with a novel algorithm called CODEHOP. Sequence analysis of Erg11p identified a highly conserved region typical of the cytochrome P450 class of mono-oxygenases. The gene was present in single copy in the genome and mapped to one end of the largest chromosome. Comparison of the protein sequence to a number of major human fungal pathogen Erg11p homologs revealed that the C. neoformans protein was highly conserved, and most closely related to the Erg11p homologs from other basidiomycetes. Functional studies demonstrated that the gene could complement a Saccharomyces cerevisiae erg11 mutant, which confirmed the identity of the C. neoformans gene. 相似文献

We isolated a cDNA encoding a cytochrome P450 from the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis. The mRNA is 2.1 nucleotides long and contains an open reading frame encoding a protein of 545 amino acids. A conserved home-binding domain, characteristic of cytochrome P450 proteins, is present in the deduced amino acid sequence. The Lymnaea cytochrome P450 protein shares less than 40% positional identity with any known member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily, and therefore, represents a separate family, which we propose to name CYP10. The CYP10 mRNA is shown to be uniquely and abundantly expressed in the female gonadotropic hormone producing dorsal bodies of L. stagnalis. 相似文献

Cloning, sequencing, and overexpression of a [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin gene from Escherichia coli. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Escherichia coli contains a soluble, [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin of unknown function (Knoell, H.-E., and Knappe, J. (1974) Eur. J. Biochem. 50, 245-252). Using antiserum to the purified protein to screen E. coli genomic expression libraries, we have cloned a gene (designated fdx) encoding this protein. The DNA sequence of the gene predicts a polypeptide of 110 residues after removal of the initiator methionine (polypeptide M(r) = 12,186, holoprotein M(r) = 12,358). The deduced amino acid sequence is strikingly similar to those of the ferredoxins found in animal mitochondria which function with cytochrome P450 enzymes and to the ferredoxin from Pseudomonas putida which functions with P450cam. The overall sequence identity is approximately 36% when compared with human mitochondrial and P. putida ferredoxins, and the identities include 4 cysteine residues proposed to coordinate the iron cluster. The protein was overproduced approximately 500-fold using an expression plasmid, and the holoprotein was assembled and accumulated in amounts exceeding 30% of the total cell protein. The overexpressed ferredoxin exhibits absorption, circular dichroism, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra closely resembling those of the animal ferredoxins and P. putida ferredoxin. 相似文献

The bioI gene has been sub-cloned and over-expressed in Escherichia coli, and the protein purified to homogeneity. The protein is a cytochrome P450, as indicated by its visible spectrum (low-spin haem iron Soret band at 419 nm) and by the characteristic carbon monoxide-induced shift of the Soret band to 448 nm in the reduced form. N-terminal amino acid sequencing and mass spectrometry indicate that the initiator methionine is removed from cytochrome P450 BioI and that the relative molecular mass is 44,732 Da, consistent with that deduced from the gene sequence. SDS-PAGE indicates that the protein is homogeneous after column chromatography on DE-52 and hydroxyapatite, followed by FPLC on a quaternary ammonium ion-exchange column (Q-Sepharose). The purified protein is of mixed spin-state by both electronic spectroscopy and by electron paramagnetic resonance [g values=2.41, 2.24 and 1.97/1.91 (low-spin) and 8.13, 5.92 and 3.47 (high-spin)]. Magnetic circular dichroism and electron paramagnetic resonance studies indicate that P450 BioI has a cysteine-ligated b-type haem iron and the near-IR magnetic circular dichroism band suggests strongly that the sixth ligand bound to the haem iron is water. Resonance Raman spectroscopy identifies vibrational signals typical of cytochrome P450, notably the oxidation state marker v4 at 1,373 cm(-1) (indicating ferric P450 haem) and the splitting of the spin-state marker v3 into two components (1,503 cm(-1) and 1,488 cm(-1)), indicating cytochrome P450 BioI to be a mixture of high- and low-spin forms. Fatty acids were found to bind to cytochrome P450 BioI, with myristic acid (Kd=4.18+/-0.26 microM) and pentadecanoic acid (Kd=3.58+/-0.54 microM) having highest affinity. The fatty acid analogue inhibitor 12-imidazolyldodecanoic acid bound extremely tightly (Kd<1 microM), again indicating strong affinity for fatty acid chains in the P450 active site. Catalytic activity was demonstrated by reconstituting the P450 with either a soluble form of human cytochrome P450 reductase, or a Bacillus subtilis ferredoxin and E. coli ferredoxin reductase. Substrate hydroxylation at the omega-terminal position was demonstrated by turnover of the chromophoric fatty acid para-nitrophenoxydodecanoic acid, and by separation of product from the reaction of P450 BioI with myristic acid. 相似文献

To elucidate the role of Arg472 and C-terminal sequence of the mature form of cytochrome P450scc, a mitochondrial cytochrome P450, in the present work we have performed sequential removal of the C-terminal amino acid residues of the hemeprotein and evaluated their functional role in folding and catalysis. The removal of 2, 4, 7, or 9 amino acid residues (cytochrome P450scc mutants Delta2, Delta4, Delta7, and Delta9) does not significantly affect the physicochemical properties of the truncated forms of cytochrome P450scc, but results in significant increase in the expression level of the hemeprotein in Escherichia coli (Delta4 cytochrome P450scc mutant). However, removal of 10 C-terminal amino acid residues (Delta10 cytochrome P450scc) of mature form of cytochrome P450scc (replacement of codon for Arg472 for stop-codon) is followed by loss of the ability for correct folding in E. coli. Based on these data, it is concluded that the C-terminal amino acid residues of cytochrome P450scc (DeltaArg472-Ala481) play an important role in correct recombinant protein folding and heme binding by cytochrome P450scc during its expression in E. coli, while folding of mitochondrial cytochrome P450scc during its heterologous expression in bacterial cells is more similar to the folding of prokaryotic soluble cytochrome P450's than to microsomal cytochrome P450's. 相似文献

Candida albicans is responsible for serious fungal infections in humans. Analysis of its genome identified NCP1 gene coding for a putative NADPH-P450 reductase (NPR) enzyme. This enzyme appears to supply reducing equivalents to cytochrome P450 or heme oxygenase enzymes for fungal survival and virulence. In this study, we report the characterization of the functional features of NADPH-P450 reductase from C. albicans. The recombinant C. albicans NPR protein harboring a 6×(His)-tag was expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli, and was purified. Purified C. albicans NPR has an absorption maximum at 453 nm, indicating the feature of an oxidized flavin cofactor, which was decreased by the addition of NADPH. It also evidenced NADPH-dependent cytochrome c or nitroblue tetrazolium reducing activity. This purified reductase protein was successfully able to substitute for purified mammalian NPR in the reconstitution of the human P450 1A2-catalyzed O-deethylation of 7-ethoxyresorufin. These results indicate that purified C. albicans NPR is an orthologous reductase protein that supports cytochrome P450 or heme oxygenase enzymes in C. albicans. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of a cytochrome P450 of the IIA subfamily from human liver microsomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Antibodies raised against cytochrome P450, which is overexpressed in mouse hepatic tumors, (P450tu) crossreact with two human liver microsomal proteins (49 kDa and 52 kDa). We have quantified these proteins in 60 human liver samples and found great interindividual variability in both of them. The concentration of the 49-kDa protein varies up to 144 fold in the various samples and represents typically 10% of the total mincrosomal P450 content. Its immunologically determined concentration correlates well (R = 0.78) with the microsomal coumarin-7-hydroylase (COH) activity. This activity is strongly and completely inhibited by anti-P450tu antibody (IC50 = 0.13 mg IgG/mg microsomal protein). The crossreacting 49-kDa protein shows an unusually high substrate specificity towards coumarin; it presents all human COH and part of 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD). Besides these two activities, we did not find any activity with other typical P450 substrates. In primary cultures of human hepatocytes, it is inducible by phenobarbital and dexamethasone, but not by pyrazole and beta-naphthoflavone. We isolated this protein from human liver microsomes and purified it to homogeneity by a combination of aminooctyl-amino-Sepharose chromatography and immunoaffinity chromatography. The protein was identified as a cytochrome P450 of the IIA subfamily. Its N-terminal amino-acid sequence was identical with the first 20 residues deduced from the nucleotide sequence of P450IIA6. 相似文献
