Evolution of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Their Redox Partners in Archaea. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24044161. [PMID: 36835573 PMCID: PMC9962201 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24044161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs/P450s) and their redox partners, ferredoxins, are ubiquitous in organisms. P450s have been studied in biology for over six decades owing to their distinct catalytic activities, including their role in drug metabolism. Ferredoxins are ancient proteins involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, such as transferring electrons to P450s. The evolution and diversification of P450s in various organisms have received little attention and no information is available for archaea. This study is aimed at addressing this research gap. Genome-wide analysis revealed 1204 P450s belonging to 34 P450 families and 112 P450 subfamilies, where some families and subfamilies are expanded in archaea. We also identified 353 ferredoxins belonging to the four types 2Fe-2S, 3Fe-4S, 7Fe-4S and 2[4Fe-4S] in 40 archaeal species. We found that bacteria and archaea shared the CYP109, CYP147 and CYP197 families, as well as several ferredoxin subtypes, and that these genes are co-present on archaeal plasmids and chromosomes, implying the plasmid-mediated lateral transfer of these genes from bacteria to archaea. The absence of ferredoxins and ferredoxin reductases in the P450 operons suggests that the lateral transfer of these genes is independent. We present different scenarios for the evolution and diversification of P450s and ferredoxins in archaea. Based on the phylogenetic analysis and high affinity to diverged P450s, we propose that archaeal P450s could have diverged from CYP109, CYP147 and CYP197. Based on this study's results, we propose that all archaeal P450s are bacterial in origin and that the original archaea had no P450s.

Rational design of thermophilic CYP119 for progesterone hydroxylation by in silico mutagenesis and docking screening. J Mol Graph Model 2023; 118:108323. [PMID: 36137435 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2022.108323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Steroid-based chemicals can affect the metabolism, immune functions, and development of sexual characteristics. Because of these effects, steroid derivatives are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. Progesterone is a steroid-based hormone that mainly controls the ovulation period of women but is also a precursor molecule for the synthesis of important hormones like testosterone and cortisone. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are important for the production of hydroxyprogesterones in the industry since they can catalyze regio- and enantioselective hydroxylation reactions. Although human CYP enzymes can catalyze hydroxyprogesterone synthesis with high selectivity, these enzymes are membrane bound, which limits their application for industrial production. CYP119 is a soluble and thermophilic enzyme from the archaea Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. Even though the native substrate of the enzyme is not known, CYP119 can catalyze styrene epoxidation, lauric acid hydroxylation, and Amplex®Red peroxidation. In this work, an in silico mutagenesis approach was used to design CYP119 mutants with high progesterone affinity. Energy scores of progesterone docking simulations were used for the design and elimination of single, double, and triple mutants of CYP119. Among designed 674 mutants, five of them match the criteria for progesterone hydroxylation. The most common mutation of these five mutants, L69G mutant was analyzed using independent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in comparison with the wild-type (WT) enzyme. L69G CYP119, was expressed and isolated from Escherichia coli; it showed 800-fold higher affinity for progesterone compared to WT CYP119. L69G CYP119 also catalyzed progesterone hydroxylation. The novel designed enzyme L69G CYP119 is a potential versatile biocatalyst for progesterone hydroxylation that is expected to be stable under industrial production conditions.

Abstract
Biocatalysts are increasingly utilized in the synthesis of drugs and agrochemicals as an alternative to chemical catalysis. They are preferred in the synthesis of enantiopure products due to their high regioselectivity and enantioselectivity. Cytochrome P450 (P450) oxygenases are valuable biocatalysts, since they catalyze the oxidation of carbon-hydrogen bonds with high efficiency and selectivity. However, practical use of P450s is limited due to their need for expensive cofactors and electron transport partners. P450s can employ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxygen and electron donor, but the reaction with H2O2 is inefficient. The development of P450s that can use H2O2 will expand their applications. Here, an assay that utilizes Amplex Red peroxidation, to rapidly screen H2O2-dependent activity of P450 mutants in cell lysate was developed. This assay was employed to identify mutants of CYP119, a thermophilic P450 from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, with increased peroxidation activity. A mutant library of CYP119 containing substitutions in the heme active site was constructed via combinatorial active-site saturation test and screened for improved activity. Screening of 158 colonies led to five mutants with higher activity. Among improved variants, T213R/T214I was characterized. T213R/T214I exhibited fivefold higher kcat for Amplex Red peroxidation and twofold higher kcat for styrene epoxidation. T213R/T214I showed higher stability towards heme degradation by H2O2. While the Km for H2O2 and styrene were not altered by the mutation, a fourfold decrease in the affinity for another substrate, lauric acid, was observed. In conclusion, Amplex Red peroxidation screening of CYP119 mutants yielded enzymes with increased peroxide-dependent activity.

Haslinger K, Prather KLJ. Heterologous caffeic acid biosynthesis in Escherichia coli is affected by choice of tyrosine ammonia lyase and redox partners for bacterial Cytochrome P450. Microb Cell Fact 2020; 19:26. [PMID: 32046741 PMCID: PMC7011507 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-020-01300-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2019] [Accepted: 02/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Caffeic acid is industrially recognized for its antioxidant activity and therefore its potential to be used as an anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral, antidiabetic and antidepressive agent. It is traditionally isolated from lignified plant material under energy-intensive and harsh chemical extraction conditions. However, over the last decade bottom-up biosynthesis approaches in microbial cell factories have been established, that have the potential to allow for a more tailored and sustainable production. One of these approaches has been implemented in Escherichia coli and only requires a two-step conversion of supplemented l-tyrosine by the actions of a tyrosine ammonia lyase and a bacterial Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. Although the feeding of intermediates demonstrated the great potential of this combination of heterologous enzymes compared to others, no de novo synthesis of caffeic acid from glucose has been achieved utilizing the bacterial Cytochrome P450 thus far. Results The herein described work aimed at improving the efficiency of this two-step conversion in order to establish de novo caffeic acid formation from glucose. We implemented alternative tyrosine ammonia lyases that were reported to display superior substrate binding affinity and selectivity, and increased the efficiency of the Cytochrome P450 by altering the electron-donating redox system. With this strategy we were able to achieve final titers of more than 300 µM or 47 mg/L caffeic acid over 96 h in an otherwise wild type E. coli MG1655(DE3) strain with glucose as the only carbon source. We observed that the choice and gene dose of the redox system strongly influenced the Cytochrome P450 catalysis. In addition, we were successful in applying a tethering strategy that rendered even a virtually unproductive Cytochrome P450/redox system combination productive. Conclusions The caffeic acid titer achieved in this study is about 10% higher than titers reported for other heterologous caffeic acid pathways in wildtype E. coli without l-tyrosine supplementation. The tethering strategy applied to the Cytochrome P450 appears to be particularly useful for non-natural Cytochrome P450/redox partner combinations and could be useful for other recombinant pathways utilizing bacterial Cytochromes P450.

Abstract
The light-driven hybrid P450 enzyme approach utilizing the photochemical properties of a covalently attached Ru(II)-diimine photosensitizer was extended to the archaeal Sulfolobus acidocaldarius CYP119 enzyme leading to high photocatalytic activity in the hydroxylation of the chromogenic substrate, 11-nitrophenoxyundecanoic acid. The determined kcat was greater than those reported with various natural redox partners. In addition, the sacrificial electron donor, diethyldithiocarbamate, used in the photocatalytic reaction is shown to play a dual role. It acts as an efficient quencher of the Ru(II) excited state leading to a highly reducing species necessary to inject electrons into the heme. It is also known for its antioxidant properties and is shown herein to be a useful probe to determine coupling efficiency in the light-driven hybrid enzymes.

Enhanced Activity and Substrate Specificity by Site-Directed Mutagenesis for the P450 119 Peroxygenase Catalyzed Sulfoxidation of Thioanisole. ChemistryOpen 2019; 8:1076-1083.

Abstract
P450 119 peroxygenase was found to catalyze the sulfoxidation of thioanisole and the sulfonation of sulfoxide in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) for the first time with turnover rates of 1549 min-1 and 196 min-1 respectively. Several mutants were designed to improve the peroxygenation activity and thioanisole specificity by site-directed mutagenesis. The F153G/T213G mutant gave an increase of sulfoxide yield and a decrease of sulfone yield. Moreover the S148P/I161T/K199E/T214V mutant and the K199E mutant with acidic Glu residue contributed to improving the product ratio of sulfoxide to sulfone. Addition of short-alkyl-chain organic acids to the P450 119 peroxygenase-catalyzed sulfur oxidation of thioanisole was investigated. Octanoic acid was found to induce a preferred sulfoxidation of thioanisole catalyzed by the F153G/T213G mutant to give approximately 2.4-fold increase in turnover rate with a k cat value of 3687 min-1 relative to that of the wild-type, and by the F153G mutant to give the R-sulfoxide up to 30 % ee. The experimental control and the proposed mechanism for the P450 119 peroxygenase-catalyzed sulfoxidation of thioanisole in the presence of octanoic acid suggested that octanoic acid could partially occupy the substrate pocket; meanwhile the F153G mutation could enhance the substrate specificity, which could lead to efficiently regulate the spatial orientation of thioanisole and facilitate the formation of Compound I. This is the most effective catalytic system for the P450 119 peroxygenase-catalyzed sulfoxidation of thioanisole.

Effects of N-Terminal and C-Terminal Polyhistidine Tag on the Stability and Function of the Thermophilic P450 CYP119. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2019; 2019:8080697.

Abstract
Biocatalysts are sought-after in synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to their high regioselectivity and enantioselectivity. Among biocatalysts, heme-containing cytochrome P450 (P450) oxygenases are an attractive target since they catalyze oxidation of "unactivated" carbon-hydrogen bonds with high efficiency. CYP119 is an acidothermophilic P450 from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, which has the potential to be widely used as a biocatalyst since it shows activity at high temperatures and low pH. Polyhistidine tags (His-tags) are widely used to simplify purification of proteins. However, His-tags can cause changes to protein structure and function. Here, we demonstrate the effects of His-tags on CYP119. To this end, the His-tags were cloned at the N-terminus or C-terminus of the CYP119, and His-tagged proteins were expressed and isolated. The thermostability and peroxidase activity of His-tagged CYP119s were tested and compared to wild type CYP119. Results indicated that while addition of His-tags increased the yield and simplified isolation of CYP119, they also influenced the electronic structure of active site and the activity of the protein. We show that N-terminal His-tagged CYP119 has desirable properties and potential to be used in industrial applications, but mechanistic studies using this protein need careful interpretation since the His-tag affects electronic properties of the active site heme iron.

Abstract
Many artificial enzymes that catalyze redox reactions have important energy, environmental, and medical applications. Native metalloenzymes use a set of redox-active amino acids and cofactors as redox centers, with a potential range between -700 and +800 mV versus standard hydrogen electrode (SHE, all reduction potentials are versus SHE). The redox potentials and the orientation of redox centers in native metalloproteins are optimal for their redox chemistry. However, the limited number and potential range of native redox centers challenge the design and optimization of novel redox chemistry in metalloenzymes. Artificial metalloenzymes use non-native redox centers and could go far beyond the natural range of redox potentials for novel redox chemistry. In addition to designing protein monomers, strategies for increasing the electron transfer rate in self-assembled protein complexes and protein-electrode or -nanomaterial interfaces will be discussed. Redox reactions in proteins occur on redox active amino acid residues (Tyr, Trp, Met, Cys, etc.) and cofactors (iron sulfur clusters, flavin, heme, etc.). The redox potential of these redox centers cover a ∼1.5 V range and is optimized for their specific functions. Despite recent progress, tuning the redox potential for amino acid residues or cofactors remains challenging. Many redox-active unnatural amino acids (UAAs) can be incorporated into protein via genetic codon expansion. Their redox potentials extend the range of physiologically relevant potentials. Indeed, installing new redox cofactors with fined-tuned redox potentials is essential for designing novel redox enzymes. By combining UAA and redox cofactor incorporation, we harnessed light energy to reduce CO2 in a fluorescent protein, mimicking photosynthetic apparatus in nature. Manipulating the position and reduction potential of redox centers inside proteins is important for optimizing the electron transfer rate and the activity of artificial enzymes. Learning from the native electron transfer complex, protein-protein interactions can be enhanced by increasing the electrostatic interaction between proteins. An artificial oxidase showed close to native enzyme activity with optimized interaction with electron transfer partner and increased electron transfer efficiency. In addition to the de novo design of protein-protein interaction, protein self-assembly methods using scaffolds, such as proliferating cell nuclear antigen, to efficiently anchor enzymes and their redox partners. The self-assembly process enhances electron transfer efficiency and enzyme activity by bringing redox centers into close proximity of each other. In addition to protein self-assembly, protein-electrode or protein-nanomaterial self-assembly can also promote efficient electron transfer from inorganic materials to enzyme active sites. Such hybrid systems combine the efficiency of enzyme reactions and the robustness of electrodes or nanomaterials, often with advantageous catalytic activities. By combining these strategies, we can not only mimic some of nature's most fascinating reactions, such as photosynthesis and aerobic respiration, but also transcend nature toward environmental, energy, and health applications.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450) are heme-containing enzymes that oxidize a broad range of substrates in the presence of molecular oxygen and NAD(P)H. For their activity, most P450s rely on one or two redox proteins responsible for the transfer of electrons from the cofactor NAD(P)H to the heme. One of the challenges when using P450s in vitro, especially when non-physiological redox proteins are applied, is the inefficient transfer of electrons between the individual proteins resulting in non-productive consumption of NAD(P)H - referred to as uncoupling. Herein, we describe the improvement of the coupling efficiency between a P450 and its redox partner - diflavin reductase - by fusing both enzymes individually to the hydrophobin HFBI - a small self-assembling protein of the fungus Trichoderma reesei. The separated monooxygenase (BMO) and reductase (BMR) domains of P450 BM3 from Bacillus megaterium were chosen as a P450-reductase model system and individually fused to HFBI. The fusion proteins could be expressed in soluble form in Escherichia coli. When HFBI-fused BMO and BMR were mixed in vitro, substantially higher coupling efficiencies were measured as compared with the respective non-fused enzymes. Consequently, myristic acid conversion increased up to 20-fold (after 6 h) and 5-fold (after 24 h). Size exclusion chromatography demonstrated that in vitro the hydrophobin-fused enzymes build multimeric protein assemblies. Thus, the higher activity is hypothesized to be due to HFBI-mediated self-assembly arranging BMO and BMR in close spatial proximity in aqueous solution.
