AbstractCytochrome P450 (cytP450) interacts with two redox partners, cytP450 reductase and cytochrome-b5, to metabolize substrates. Using NMR, we reveal changes in the dynamic interplay when all three proteins are incorporated into lipids nanodiscs in the absence and presence of substrates.

Biotechnological applications of cytochromes P450 show difficulties, such as low activity, thermal and/or solvent instability, narrow substrate specificity and redox partner dependence. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, an exploitation of novel thermophilic P450 enzymes from nature via uncultured approaches is desirable due to their great advantages that can resolve nearly all mentioned impediments. From the metagenomics library of the Binh Chau hot spring, an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a thermostable cytochrome P450—designated as P450-T3—which shared 66.6% amino acid sequence identity with CYP109C2 of Sorangium cellulosum So ce56 was selected for further identification and characterization. The ORF was synthesized artificially and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli C43(DE3) using the pET17b system. The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of approximately 43 kDa. The melting temperature of the purified enzyme was 76.2 °C and its apparent half-life at 60 °C was 38.7 min. Redox partner screening revealed that P450-T3 was reduced well by the mammalian AdR-Adx4-108 and the yeast Arh1-Etp1 redox partners. Lauric acid, palmitic acid, embelin, retinoic acid (all-trans) and retinoic acid (13-cis) demonstrated binding to P450-T3. Interestingly, P450-T3 also bound and converted testosterone. Overall, P450-T3 might become a good candidate for biocatalytic applications on a larger scale.

Using chicken antibodies IgY (purified from egg yolks) against mammalian cytochromes P450 and by means of cytochrome P450 marker substrates, we found for the first time the presence of hepatopancreatic cytochrome P450 in crayfishOrconectes limosus(an inducible cytochrome P450 2B-like enzyme) and we were able to detect and quantify cytochrome P450 1A1 in microsomes of human livers. Expression levels of cytochrome P450 1A1 in human livers constituted less than 0.6% of the total hepatic cytochrome P450 complement. The results obtained in our study are clear examples that chicken IgY are suitable for cytochrome P450 detection and quantification. Due to the evolutionary distance, chicken IgY reacts with more epitopes on a mammalian antigen, which gives an amplification of the signal. Moreover, this approach offers many advantages over common mammalian antibody production since chicken egg is an abundant source of antibodies (about 100 mg IgY/yolk) and the egg collection is a non-invasive technique. In the case of antibodies against cytochrome P450 2B4, we documented fast and steady production of highly specific immunoglobulins. Thus, chicken antibodies should be considered as a good alternative to and/or superior substitute for conventional polyclonal antibody produced in mammals.

AbstractObjectivesCytochromes P450 play a role in human drugs metabolic pathways and their genes are among the most variable in humans. The aim of this study was to analyze genotype frequencies of five common polymorphisms of cytochromes P450 in Roma/Gypsy and Czech (non-Roma) population samples with Czech origin.MethodsRoma/Gypsy (n=302) and Czech subjects (n=298) were genotyped for CYP1A2 (rs762551), CYP2A6 (rs4105144), CYP2B6 (rs3745274) and CYP2D6 (rs3892097; rs1065852) polymorphisms using PCR-RFLP or Taqman assay.ResultsWe found significant allelic/genotype differences between ethnics in three genes. For rs3745274 polymorphism, there was increased frequency of T allele carriers in Roma in comparison with Czech population (53.1 vs. 43.7%; p=0.02). For rs4105144 (CYP2A6) there was higher frequency of T allele carriers in Roma in comparison with Czech population (68.7 vs. 49.8%; p<0.0001). For rs3892097 (CYP2D6) there was more carriers of the A allele between Roma in comparison with Czech population (39.2 vs. 38.2%; p=0.048). Genotype/allelic frequencies of CYP2D6 (rs1065852) and CYP1A2 (rs762551) variants did not significantly differ between the ethnics.ConclusionsThere were significant differences in allelic/genotype frequencies of some, but not all cytochromes P450 polymorphisms between the Czech Roma/Gypsies and Czech non-Roma subjects.

Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) can cause drug toxicities, reduced pharmacological effects, and adverse drug reactions. Studies aiming to determine the possible DDIs for an investigational drug are part of the drug discovery and development process and include an assessment of the DDIs potential mediated by inhibition or induction of the most important drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 isoforms. Our study was dedicated to creating a computer model for prediction of the DDIs mediated by the seven most important P450 cytochromes: CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. For the creation of structure–activity relationship (SAR) models that predict metabolism-mediated DDIs for pairs of molecules, we applied the Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances (PASS) software and Pairs of Substances Multilevel Neighborhoods of Atoms (PoSMNA) descriptors calculated based on structural formulas. About 2500 records on DDIs mediated by these cytochromes were used as a training set. Prediction can be carried out both for known drugs and for new, not-yet-synthesized substances. The average accuracy of the prediction of DDIs mediated by various isoforms of cytochrome P450 estimated by leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO CV) procedures was about 0.92. The SAR models created are publicly available as a web resource and provide predictions of DDIs mediated by the most important cytochromes P450.

Mycolicibacterium smegmatis mc2155 has been genetically modified to be used as a platform for the expression of foreign cytochrome P450 monooxygenases by introducing deletions in the kshB and kstD genes that encode key stages of the enzymatic destruction of the steroid nucleus. Three sets of genetic constructs have been created for heterologous expression of the genes of cytochromes P450 CYP106A1 from Bacillus megaterium DSM319 and CYP106A2 from Bacillus megaterium ATCC13368 in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis mc2155 (ΔkshBΔkstD) cells. The recombinant plasmids contained monocistronic expression cassettes of cytochrome genes (NS31 and pNS32), or tricistronic cassettes of cytochrome genes together with cDNA copies of adrenodoxin and andrenodoxin reductase genes of the bovine adrenal cortex (pNS33 and pNS34), or monocistronic gene cassettes of chimeric cytochromes fused with the DNA sequence encoding the CYP116B2 reductase domain from the soil bacterium Rhodococcus sp. NCIMB 9784 (pNS35 and pNS36). The recombinant strains of mycolicibacteria were shown to selectively monohydroxylate androstenedione (AD) under growth conditions. The product was identified as 15-hydroxyandrostenedione (15-OH-AD) by mass spectrometry and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The maximum level of 15-OH-AD production (17.3 ± 1.5 mg/L) was observed when using the recombinant M. smegmatis mc2155 (ΔkshBΔkstD) (pNS32) strain, which expresses a single cyp106A2 gene from B. megaterium ATCC13368. Host proteins of M. smegmatis mc2155 were shown to be capable of supplying electrons to heterologous cytochromes to support their hydroxylating activity. The results are of priority character, expand the understanding of the hydroxylation of steroid compounds by bacterial cytochromes CYP106A1/A2 and are important for the creation of microbial strains producing valuable hydroxysteroids. cyp106A1, cyp106A2, cytochrome P450, heterologous expression, Bacillus megaterium, Mycolicibacterium smegmatis, 15β-hydroxylation, bioconversion, steroids This work was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project No. 21-64-00024).

AbstractCytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) play crucial roles in the cell metabolism and provide an unsurpassed diversity of catalysed reactions. Here, we report the identification and biochemical characterization of two P450s from Arthrobacter sp., a Gram-positive organism known to degrade the opium alkaloid papaverine. Combining phylogenetic and genomic analysis suggested physiological roles for P450s in metabolism and revealed potential gene clusters with redox partners facilitating the reconstitution of the P450 activities in vitro. CYP1232F1 catalyses the para demethylation of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid to homovanillic acid while CYP1232A24 continues demethylation to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. Interestingly, the latter enzyme is also able to perform both demethylation steps with preference for the meta position. The crystal structure of CYP1232A24, which shares only 29% identity to previous published structures of P450s helped to rationalize the preferred demethylation specificity for the meta position and also the broader substrate specificity profile. In addition to the detailed characterization of the two P450s using their physiological redox partners, we report the construction of a highly active whole-cell Escherichia coli biocatalyst expressing CYP1232A24, which formed up to 1.77 g l−1 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. Our results revealed the P450s’ role in the metabolic pathway of papaverine enabling further investigation and application of these biocatalysts.
