ABSTRACTA functional library of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases fromAspergillus oryzae(AoCYPs) was constructed in which 121 isoforms were coexpressed with yeast NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase inSaccharomyces cerevisiae. Using this functional library, novel catalytic functions of AoCYPs, such as catalytic potentials of CYP57B3 against genistein, were elucidated for the first time. Comprehensive functional screening promises rapid characterization of catalytic potentials and utility of AoCYPs.

Optimal Ph

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are enzymes which are capable of oxidising saturated and unsaturated substrates. P450BM3 from Bacillus megaterium is one of this family. For the first time, the cyp gene for coding P450BM3 from B. megaterium ALA2 has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme is 120 kDa, containing 1049 aa. The highest activity of purified enzyme is 14.8 U/mg towards palmitic acid by monitoring the NADPH oxidation. The optimal pH and temperature were 9.0 and 40°C. The enzyme has higher activity towards linoleic acid, and 2-Methyl-7-octadecene can also be catalyzed which is a precursor of displar.

ABSTRACT 4"-Oxo-avermectin is a key intermediate in the manufacture of the agriculturally important insecticide emamectin benzoate from the natural product avermectin. Seventeen biocatalytically active Streptomyces strains with the ability to oxidize avermectin to 4"-oxo-avermectin in a regioselective manner have been discovered in a screen of 3,334 microorganisms. The enzymes responsible for this oxidation reaction in these biocatalytically active strains were found to be cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs) and were termed Ema1 to Ema17. The genes for Ema1 to Ema17 have been cloned, sequenced, and compared to reveal a new subfamily of CYPs. Ema1 to Ema16 have been overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified as His-tagged recombinant proteins, and their basic enzyme kinetic parameters have been determined.

ABSTRACTWe report the isolation and characterization of three new cytochrome P450 monooxygenases: CYP101J2, CYP101J3, and CYP101J4. These P450s were derived fromSphingobium yanoikuyaeB2, a strain that was isolated from activated sludge based on its ability to fully mineralize 1,8-cineole. Genome sequencing of this strain in combination with purification of native 1,8-cineole-binding proteins enabled identification of 1,8-cineole-binding P450s. The P450 enzymes were cloned, heterologously expressed (N-terminally His6tagged) inEscherichia coliBL21(DE3), purified, and spectroscopically characterized. Recombinant whole-cell biotransformation inE. colidemonstrated that all three P450s hydroxylate 1,8-cineole using electron transport partners fromE. colito yield a product putatively identified as (1S)-2α-hydroxy-1,8-cineole or (1R)-6α-hydroxy-1,8-cineole. The new P450s belong to the CYP101 family and share 47% and 44% identity with other 1,8-cineole-hydroxylating members found inNovosphingobium aromaticivoransandPseudomonas putida. Compared to P450cin(CYP176A1), a 1,8-cineole-hydroxylating P450 fromCitrobacter braakii, these enzymes share less than 30% amino acid sequence identity and hydroxylate 1,8-cineole in a different orientation. Expansion of the enzyme toolbox for modification of 1,8-cineole creates a starting point for use of hydroxylated derivatives in a range of industrial applications.IMPORTANCECYP101J2, CYP101J3, and CYP101J4 are cytochrome P450 monooxygenases fromS. yanoikuyaeB2 that hydroxylate the monoterpenoid 1,8-cineole. These enzymes not only play an important role in microbial degradation of this plant-based chemical but also provide an interesting route to synthesize oxygenated 1,8-cineole derivatives for applications as natural flavor and fragrance precursors or incorporation into polymers. The P450 cytochromes also provide an interesting basis from which to compare other enzymes with a similar function and expand the CYP101 family. This could eventually provide enough bacterial parental enzymes with similar amino acid sequences to enablein vitroevolution via DNA shuffling.

ABSTRACTCytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s), which constitute a superfamily of heme-containing proteins, catalyze the direct oxidation of a variety of compounds in a regio- and stereospecific manner; therefore, they are promising catalysts for use in the oxyfunctionalization of chemicals. In the course of our comprehensive substrate screening for all 27 putative P450s encoded by theStreptomyces griseusgenome, we found thatEscherichia colicells producing anS. griseusP450 (CYP154C3), which was fused C terminally with the P450 reductase domain (RED) of a self-sufficient P450 fromRhodococcussp., could transform various steroids (testosterone, progesterone, Δ4-androstene-3,17-dione, adrenosterone, 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione, dehydroepiandrosterone, 4-pregnane-3,11,20-trione, and deoxycorticosterone) into their 16α-hydroxy derivatives as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance and high-resolution mass spectrometry analyses. The purified CYP154C3, which was not fused with RED, also catalyzed the regio- and stereospecific hydroxylation of these steroids at the same position with the aid of ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase from spinach. The apparent equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) values of the binding between CYP154C3 and these steroids were less than 8 μM as determined by the heme spectral change, indicating that CYP154C3 strongly binds to these steroids. Furthermore, kinetic parameters of the CYP154C3-catalyzed hydroxylation of Δ4-androstene-3,17-dione were determined (Km, 31.9 ± 9.1 μM;kcat, 181 ± 4.5 s−1). We concluded that CYP154C3 is a steroid D-ring 16α-specific hydroxylase which has considerable potential for industrial applications. This is the first detailed enzymatic characterization of a P450 enzyme that has a steroid D-ring 16α-specific hydroxylation activity.

Abstract Background The aryltetralin lignan (−)−podophyllotoxin is a potent antiviral and anti-neoplastic compound that is mainly found in Podophyllum plant species. Over the years, the commercial demand for this compound rose notably because of the high clinical importance of its semi-synthetic chemotherapeutic derivatives etoposide and teniposide. To satisfy this demand, (−)−podophyllotoxin is conventionally isolated from the roots and rhizomes of Sinopodophyllum hexandrum, which can only grow in few regions and is now endangered by overexploitation and environmental damage. For these reasons, targeting the biosynthesis of (−)−podophyllotoxin precursors or analogues is fundamental for the development of novel, more sustainable supply routes. Results We recently established a four-step multi-enzyme cascade to convert (+)−pinoresinol into (−)−matairesinol in E. coli. Herein, a five-step multi-enzyme biotransformation of (−)−matairesinol to (−)−deoxypodophyllotoxin was proven effective with 98 % yield at a concentration of 78 mg/L. Furthermore, the extension of this cascade to a sixth step leading to (−)−epipodophyllotoxin was evaluated. To this end, seven enzymes were combined in the reconstituted pathway involving inter alia three plant cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, with two of them being functionally expressed in E. coli for the first time. Conclusions Both, (−)−deoxypodophyllotoxin and (−)−epipodophyllotoxin, are direct precursors to etoposide and teniposide. Thus, the reconstitution of biosynthetic reactions of Sinopodophyllum hexandrum as an effective multi-enzyme cascade in E. coli represents a solid step forward towards a more sustainable production of these essential pharmaceuticals.
