Abstract
Genetic variations in cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) are associated with interindividual variability in the metabolism and efficacy of many medications. Twenty CYP1A2 variants harboring amino acid substitutions were analyzed for functional changes in enzymatic activity. Recombinant CYP1A2 variant proteins were heterologously expressed in COS-7 cells. Enzyme kinetic analyses were performed with two representative CYP1A2 substrates, phenacetin and 7-ethoxyresorufin. Among the 20 CYP1A2 allelic variants, CYP1A2*4, CYP1A2*6, CYP1A2*8, CYP1A2*15, CYP1A2*16, and CYP1A2*21 were inactive toward both substrates. CYP1A2*11 showed markedly reduced activity, but the changes in Km were different between the substrates. CYP1A2*14 and CYP1A2*20 exhibited increased activity compared to the wild-type enzyme, CYP1A2*1. This comprehensive in vitro assessment provided insight into the specific metabolic activities of CYP1A2 proteins encoded by variant alleles, which may to be valuable when interpreting the results of in vivo studies.

Abstract
Human CYP1A2 is one of the major CYPs in human liver and metabolizes a number of clinical drugs (e.g., clozapine, tacrine, tizanidine, and theophylline; n > 110), a number of procarcinogens (e.g., benzo[a]pyrene and aromatic amines), and several important endogenous compounds (e.g., steroids). CYP1A2 is subject to reversible and/or irreversible inhibition by a number of drugs, natural substances, and other compounds. The CYP1A gene cluster has been mapped on to chromosome 15q24.1, with close link between CYP1A1 and 1A2 sharing a common 5'-flanking region. The human CYP1A2 gene spans almost 7.8 kb comprising seven exons and six introns and codes a 515-residue protein with a molecular mass of 58,294 Da. The recently resolved CYP1A2 structure has a relatively compact, planar active site cavity that is highly adapted for the size and shape of its substrates. The architecture of the active site of 1A2 is characterized by multiple residues on helices F and I that constitutes two parallel substrate binding platforms on either side of the cavity. A large interindividual variability in the expression and activity of CYP1A2 has been observed, which is largely caused by genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors (e.g., smoking). CYP1A2 is primarily regulated by the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and CYP1A2 is induced through AhR-mediated transactivation following ligand binding and nuclear translocation. Induction or inhibition of CYP1A2 may provide partial explanation for some clinical drug interactions. To date, more than 15 variant alleles and a series of subvariants of the CYP1A2 gene have been identified and some of them have been associated with altered drug clearance and response and disease susceptibility. Further studies are warranted to explore the clinical and toxicological significance of altered CYP1A2 expression and activity caused by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.

Abstract
The widespread use of nitrogenous organic bases as environmental chemicals, food additives, and clinically important drugs necessitates precise knowledge about the molecular principles governing biotransformation of this category of substrates. In this regard, analysis of the topological background of complex formation between amines and P450s, acting as major catalysts in C- and N-oxidative attack, is of paramount importance. Thus, progress in collaborative investigations, combining physico-chemical techniques with chemical-modification as well as genetic engineering experiments, enables substantiation of hypothetical work resulting from the design of pharmacophores or homology modelling of P450s. Based on a general, CYP2D6-related construct, the majority of prospective amine-docking residues was found to cluster near the distal heme face in the six known SRSs, made up by the highly variant helices B', F and G as well as the N-terminal portion of helix C and certain beta-structures. Most of the contact sites examined show a frequency of conservation < 20%, hinting at the requirement of some degree of conformational versatility, while a limited number of amino acids exhibiting a higher level of conservation reside close to the heme core. Some key determinants may have a dual role in amine binding and/or maintenance of protein integrity. Importantly, a series of non-SRS elements are likely to be operative via long-range effects. While hydrophobic mechanisms appear to dominate orientation of the nitrogenous compounds toward the iron-oxene species, polar residues seem to foster binding events through H-bonding or salt-bridge formation. Careful uncovering of structure-function relationships in amine-enzyme association together with recently developed unsupervised machine learning approaches will be helpful in both tailoring of novel amine-type drugs and early elimination of potentially toxic or mutagenic candidates. Also, chimeragenesis might serve in the construction of more efficient P450s for activation of amine drugs and/or bioremediation.

Abstract
In order to identify genetic polymorphisms and haplotype frequencies of CYP1A2 in a Japanese population, the enhancer and promoter regions, all the exons with their surrounding introns, and intron 1 were sequenced from genomic DNA from 250 Japanese subjects. Thirty-three polymorphisms were found, including 13 novel ones: 2 in the enhancer region, 5 in the exons, and 6 in the introns. The most common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was -163C>A (CYP1A2*1F allele) with a 0.628 frequency. In addition to six previously reported non-synonymous SNPs, three novel ones, 125C>G (P42R, CYP1A2*15 allele, MPJ6_1A2032), 1130G>A (R377Q, *16 allele, MPJ6_1A2033), and 1367G>A (R456H, *8 allele, MPJ6_1A2019), were found with frequencies of 0.002, 0.002, and 0.004, respectively. No polymorphism was found in the known nuclear transcriptional factor-binding sites in the enhancer region. Based on linkage disequilibrium analysis, the CYP1A2 gene was analyzed as one haplotype block. Using the 33 detected polymorphisms, 14 haplotypes were unambiguously identified, and 17 haplotypes were inferred by aid of an expectation-maximization-based program. Among them, the second major haplotype CYP1A2*1L is composed of -3860G>A (*1C allele), -2467delT (*1D allele), and -163C>A (*1F allele). Network analysis suggested that relatively rare haplotypes were derived from three major haplotypes, *1A, *1M, and *1N in most cases. Our findings provide fundamental and useful information for genotyping CYP1A2 in the Japanese, and probably Asian populations.

Abstract
Molecular modelling of human CYP1B1 based on homology with the mammalian P450, CYP2C5, of known three-dimensional structure is reported. The enzyme model has been used to investigate the likely mode of binding for selected CYP1B1 substrates, particularly with regard to the possible effects of allelic variants of CYP1B1 on metabolism. In general, it appears that the CYP1B1 model is consistent with known substrate selectivity for the enzyme, and the sites of metabolism can be rationalized in terms of specific contacts with key amino acid residues within the CYP1B1 heme locus. Furthermore, a mode of binding interaction for the inhibitor, alpha-naphthoflavone, is presented which accords with currently available information. The current paper shows that a combination of molecular modelling and experimental determinations on the substrate metabolism for CYP1B1 allelic variants can aid in the understanding of structure-function relationships within P450 enzymes.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450) reactions are of interest because of their relevance to the oxidative metabolism of drugs, steroids, carcinogens, and other chemicals. One of the considerations about functional characterization is which steps of the catalytic cycle are rate-limiting. Detailed analysis indicates that several different steps can be rate-limiting with individual P450 reactions. N-Dealkylation of para-substituted N,N-dimethylanilines is a function of the electron withdrawing/donating properties of the substituent and the oxidation-reduction potential of the substrate, supporting a role in rate-limiting electron transfer from substrate to the high valent P450. In the oxidations of ethanol and acetaldehyde by human P450 2E1, a step following product formation must be the slow step (but not product release per se). Several oxidations catalyzed by human P450s 1A2 and 2D6 show slow C-H bond breaking, and apparent high-valent iron complexes accumulate in the reaction steady-state. Kinetic simulations were used to test the suitability of potential schemes and to probe the effects of changes in individual reaction steps.

Abstract
Molecular modelling of a number of CYP1 family enzymes from rat, plaice and human is described based on amino acid sequence homology with the haemoprotein domain of CYP102, a unique bacterial P450 of known structure. The interaction of various substrates and inhibitors within the putative active sites of rat CYP1A1, human CYP1A2, a fish CYP1 enzyme CYP1A6 (from plaice) and human CYP1B1, is shown to be consistent with P450-mediated oxidation in each example or, in the case of inhibitors, mechanism of inhibition. It is reported that relatively small changes between the enzymes' active site regions assist in the rationalization of CYP1 enzyme preferences for particular substrate types, and a template of superimposed CYP1A2 substrates is shown to fit the putative active site of the human CYP1A2 enzyme.

Abstract
Members of the gene superfamily of proteins called "P450" catalyze monooxygenation reactions that require an input of two electrons and a molecule of oxygen per catalytic cycle. These proteins are widely distributed among living organisms, from bacteria to human. P450BM-3, a soluble protein isolated from Bacillus megaterium, is self-sufficient, containing P450 and reductase domains on the same polypeptide. P450BM-3 catalyzes the hydroxylation of various fatty acids at omega-1, omega-2, and omega-3 positions, as well as epoxidations of double bonds. We have constructed the active-site mutant, T268A, and analyzed the effect on arachidonic acid and palmitic acid oxidation. Data indicate that the mutation changes the coupling (ratio of NADPH consumed versus product formed) for both arachidonic acid and palmitic acid oxidation. We have also analyzed cumene hydroperoxide-driven reactions and shown that they are unaffected by this mutation. These data, as well as fatty acid binding studies, support the hypothesis of a role of the I-helix residue, T268, in maintaining fatty acid substrates in the correct position for productive hydroxylation during the catalytic cycle of this enzyme.

Abstract
Historically there has been considerable interest in comparing patterns of biotransformation of xenobiotic chemicals in experimental animal models and humans, e.g. in areas such as drug metabolism and chemical carcinogenesis. With the availability of more basic knowledge it has become possible to attribute the oxidation of selected chemicals to individual cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes in animals and humans. Further, these P450s can be characterized by their classification into distinct subfamilies, which are defined as having > 59% amino acid sequence identity. Questions arise about how similar these enzymes are with regard to structure and function. More practically, how much can be predicted about reaction specificity and catalysis? In order to address these issues, we need to consider not only the relatedness of P450s from different species but also (i) functional similarity within P450 subfamilies and (ii) the effects of small changes imposed by site-directed mutagenesis. Relationships in the P450 1A, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 3A, and 17A subfamilies are briefly reviewed. Overall functional similarity is generally seen in subfamily enzymes but many examples exist of important changes in catalysis due to very small differences, even a single conservative amino acid substitution. Some general conclusions are presented about predictability within various P450 subfamilies.

Abstract
1. Using a novel amino acid sequence alignment, proteins of the CYP1A subfamily have been produced from the CYP102 crystal structure template via residue replacement and energy minimization procedures. 2. Known substrates and inhibitors of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 are shown to fit their respective active sites via key interactions with complementary amino acid residues. Substrates used in the modelling studies include: caffeine, PhIP, oestradiol, 2,4- and 2,5-diaminotoluenes, Glu-P-1, phenacetin, acetanilide, 7-methoxy and 7-ethoxyresorufins, 11-methyl cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-one, 7-ethoxycoumarin, aflatoxin B1, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol and 1'-hydroxy 3-methylcholanthrene. 3. A number of aspects relating to CYP1A substrate specificity and metabolism can be explained in terms of the enzyme models, as it is found that key interactions with active site amino acid residues direct CYP1A-mediated metabolism in the known positions.

Abstract
Metabolic activation of nitrogenous compounds by the cytochrome P-450 system is a highly complex process. Inherent substrate factors, such as basicity, electronic state, lipophilicity, and conformation control binding of the diverse classes of amines to cytochrome P-450. Accommodation of these compounds in the enzyme cavity and proper orientation of the molecules are governed by intrinsic properties of the peptide structure of cytochrome P-450, which may be subject to modification by the action of effectors. On the membrane level, phospholipid might have some impact on substrate binding. On the other hand, bound amine substrate is beneficial to the productive interaction of the electron transport chains with the terminal acceptor, improving economy of the system. Certain amines appear to regulate O2 association with cytochrome P-450 and stabilize the various oxy species formed. Considering the selective prerequisites for oxidative attack by cytochrome P-450 at vulnerable nitrogen centers, many cytotoxic amines belonging to the category of relatively rigid, planar molecules undergo N-oxidative activation by the cytochrome P-450IA subfamily, while more bulky amines with flexible conformation are N-oxygenated preferentially by phenobarbital-inducible cytochromes P-450. Small differences in protein structure between the various cytochrome P-450 subforms might serve to stabilize aminium radicals to permit oxygen rebound. Collectively, the selective regulatory mechanisms operative in the bioactivation of nitrogen-containing compounds appear to be determined largely by the type of substrate used and the isozyme involved in catalysis. With respect to the latter, the interplay of the multiple cytochromes P-450 in the various organs of animal species thus serves to rationalize the differences in the particular selectivities for amine substrates. These are responsible for the mode and/or extent to which activation of nitrogenous compounds, including promutagens and procarcinogens, occurs, and this may explain the tissue-specific response to the tumorigenic action of these agents.

Abstract
Various reports have described that amino acid substitutions can alter substrate, positional, inhibitory, and target gene specificities of proteins. By using the method of Chou and Fasman, the present work predicts that critical amino acids for converting these substrate specificities of trypsin, L-lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, beta-lactamase, and cytochrome P-450 are found to exist within regions predicted as beta-turns. The ratios of hydroxylation and oxygenation positions of substrates by cytochrome P-450 and lipoxygenase, respectively, are varied by changes of the protein structures, probably around turn conformations. Inhibitory specificities of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and alpha 1-antitrypsin and target gene specificity of glucocorticoid receptor are converted by changing turn structures. Occurrence of beta-turn probabilities can be predicted around the amino acid alteration positions of an evolutionally antecedent protein of a nylon degradation enzyme. These findings will have relevance to work on protein engineering and enzyme evolution.

Abstract
The in vitro and in vivo metabolism of monofluoroanilines was investigated. Special attention was focused on the regioselectivity of the aromatic hydroxylation by cytochromes P-450 and the mechanism by which this reaction might proceed. The results clearly demonstrate that the in vitro and in vivo regioselectivity of the aromatic hydroxylation by cytochromes P-450 is dependent on the fluoro-substituent pattern of the aromatic aniline-ring. Results from experiments with liver microsomes from differently pretreated rats demonstrate that the observed regioselectivity for the aromatic hydroxylation is not predominantly determined by the active site of the cytochromes P-450. To investigate the underlying reason for the observed regioselectivity, semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations were performed. Outcomes of these calculations show that neither the frontier orbital densities of the LUMO/LUMO + 1 (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) of the monofluoroanilines nor the spin-densities in their NH. radicals can explain the observed regioselectivities. The frontier orbital densities of the HOMO/HOMO - 1 (highest occupied molecular orbital) of the monofluoroanilines however, qualitatively correlate with the regioselectivity of the aromatic hydroxylation. Based on these results it is concluded that the cytochrome P-450 dependent aromatic hydroxylation of monofluoroanilines does not proceed by hydrogen or electron abstraction from the aniline substrate to give an aniline-NH. radical. The results rather suggest that cytochrome P-450 catalyzed aromatic hydroxylation of monofluoroanilines proceeds by an electrophilic attack of the (FeO)3+ species of cytochrome P-450 on a specific carbon atom of the aromatic aniline-ring.

Abstract
The amino acid sequence alignment of 16 cytochrome P-450 proteins representative of the major families is reported. The sequence matching process has been carried out on the basis of maximum homology by residue type, retention of secondary structure and minimization of deletions/insertions except where additional loop regions exist. From the starting point of known reported sequence homology matching from the literature, a realignment on the basis of conserved residues involved in both structure and function gives rise to a self-consistent set of sequences which correlates with known mechanistic and structural data. Once fitted, these archetypal sequences form a straightforward template for the alignment of all P-450 subfamilies. Computer modelling of the active-site regions constructed from homology with the bacterial form of the enzyme (P-450CAM) evinces the correct substrate specificity. Furthermore, the construction of the macromolecular assembly of components of the cytochrome P-450 system on the microsomal endoplasmic reticular membrane is presented from the evidence of site-directed mutagenesis, analysis by molecular probes, X-ray crystallography and molecular modelling.

Abstract
Point-mutation studies in cytochrome P450s by site-directed mutagenesis have identified key residues that can confer the catalytic properties of one cytochrome P450 onto another. Most of these key residues cluster at sites that map to amino acids forming the substrate-binding site of P450cam, a distantly related enzyme. These sites are found on topological elements of P450cam, which by their surface location and lack of extensive secondary structure are likely to permit genetic variation without extensive disruption of the overall topology of the enzyme. If these topological features of P450cam are conserved in the mammalian enzymes, they are likely to accommodate the structural diversity seen for mammalian P450s in a manner that conserves a basic structure for P450 enzymes but that leads to the catalytic diversity seen for the mammalian enzymes.

Abstract
The reaction of phenyldiazene with purified, phenobarbital-inducible rabbit cytochrome P450IIB4, mouse cytochrome P450IIB10, and dog cytochrome P450IIB11 yields complexes with absorbance maxima at 480 nm. Treatment of the cytochrome P450 complexes with K3Fe(CN)6 results in disappearance of the 480-nm absorption. Extraction of the prosthetic group from the proteins after these reactions yields the two isomers of N-phenylprotoporphyrin IX with the N-phenyl group on pyrrole rings A and D as the major products and the regioisomer with the N-phenyl on pyrrole ring C as a minor product. The A:C:D arylated pyrrole ring ratio is 3:2:3 for rabbit P450IIB4, 3:1:3 for mouse P450IIB10, and 4:1:2 for dog P450IIB11. Formation of the A and D regioisomers is consistent with the results obtained previously for rat isozymes IA1, IIB1, IIB2, and IIE1, but the rabbit, mouse, and dog P450IIB enzymes differ from the four rat enzymes in that a substantial amount of the isomer with the N-phenyl on pyrrole ring C is also formed. The results indicate that the region over pyrrole ring B is masked by protein residues in all the active sites and suggest that the region over pyrrole ring C is more hindered by protein residues in the rat than in the rabbit, mouse, or dog enzymes so far examined.

Abstract
The role of P450 IA2 in the hydroxylation of acetanilide was examined using an inhibitory monoclonal antibody (MAb) 1-7-1 and vaccinia cDNA expression producing murine P450 IA1 (mIA1), murine P450 IA2 (mIA2), or human P450 IA2 (hIA2). Acetanilide hydroxylase (AcOH) activity was measured using an HPLC method with more than 500-fold greater sensitivity than previously described procedures. This method, which does not require the use of radioactive acetanilide, was achieved by optimizing both the gradient system and the amount of enzyme needed to achieve detection by uv light. MAb 1-7-1 inhibits up to 80% of the AcOH activity in both rat liver microsomes and cDNA expressed mouse and human P450 IA2. MAb 1-7-1, which recognizes both P450 IA1 and P450 IA2, completely inhibits the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity of cDNA expressed in IA1. The inhibition of only 80% of the AHH activity present in MC liver microsomes by MAb 1-7-1 suggests that additional P450 forms are contributing to the overall AHH activity present in methylcholanthrene (MC)-liver microsomes as MAb 1-7-1 almost completely inhibits the AHH activity of expressed mIA1. Maximal inhibition of IA2 by 1-7-1 results in an 80% decrease in acetanilide hydroxylase activity in both liver microsomes and expressed mouse and human IA2. The capacity of MAb 1-7-1 to produce identical levels of inhibition of acetanilide hydroxylase activity in rat MC microsomes (80%) and in expressed mouse (81%) and human P450 IA2 (80%) strongly suggests that P450 IA2 is the major and perhaps the only enzyme responsible for the metabolism of acetanilide. These results demonstrate the complementary utility of monoclonal antibodies and cDNA expression for defining the contribution of specific P450 enzymes to the metabolism of a given substrate. This complementary approach allows for a more precise determination of the inhibitory capacity of MAb with respect to the metabolic capacity of the target P450.

Abstract
Low-temperature (6-40 K) electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of cytochrome P-450d (P-450d) and its 17 mutants have been measured. The spectra of the wild-type and all mutant P-450ds showed signals at around g = 8, 3.7 and 1.7, while they didn't show any signal at around g = 2 up to 40 K. It was thus suggested that all of these P-450ds essentially take the ferric high-spin form. The g values of the proximal mutants were closer to those of the wild-type than those of the distal and aromatic mutants, suggesting that mutations at the distal and aromatic sites influence the electronic state of the heme more profoundly than those of the proximal site. The distal multiple mutants whose distal sequences are the same as those of the low-spin type P-450s such as rat P-450c, mouse P1-450 and P3-450 showed only high-spin ESR signals. Thus the spin state of P-450ds (the wild-type and all mutants) may not be solely due to specific characteristics of the distal site, but to the unique nature of the whole heme environment of P-450d. It is also suggested that the amino acids at the distal region of P-450d may be located close to the heme, so that the water molecule cannot bind to the heme, thus taking the high-spin state. Both the aromatic mutants showed rather large deviations of the g values from those of wild-type P-450d, suggesting that the aromatic region somehow interacts with the heme.
