Abstract
Bark beetles, major pests that bore into forest stems, cause significant economic damage to forests globally. (+)-α-Pinene is the precursor to (+)-cis-verbenol, a crucial component of the aggregation pheromones produced by bark beetles. This paper describes the de novo synthesis of (+)-cis-verbenol in Escherichia coli. Initially, the truncation position of (+)-α-pinene synthase (PtPS30 from Pinus taeda) and monoterpene precursor (geranyl diphosphate/neryl diphosphate) synthases were evaluated. Neryl diphosphate synthase from Solanum lycopersicum (SlNPPS1) and truncated (+)-α-pinene synthase (PtPS30-39) were selected as promising candidates. Subsequently, the titer of (+)-α-pinene was significantly increased 8.9-fold by using the fusion tag CM29, which enhanced the solubility of PtPS30-39. In addition, by optimizing expression elements (ribosomal binding sites, linkers, and up elements) and overexpressing CM29*PtPS30-39, a yield of 134.12 mg/L (+)-α-pinene was achieved. Finally, the first de novo synthesis of enantiopure (+)-cis-verbenol was achieved by introducing a cytochrome P450 mutant from Pseudomonas putida (P450camF89W,Y98F,L246A), resulting in a yield of 11.13 mg/L. This study lays the groundwork for developing verbenol-based trapping technology for controlling bark beetles.

Abstract
Oxygenases catalyze crucial reactions throughout all domains of life, cleaving molecular oxygen (O2) and inserting one or two of its atoms into organic substrates. Many oxygenases, including those in the cytochrome P450 (P450) and Rieske oxygenase enzyme families, function as multicomponent systems, which require one or more redox partners to transfer electrons to the catalytic center. As the identity of the reductase can change the reactivity of the oxygenase, characterization of the latter with its cognate redox partners is critical. However, the isolation of the native redox partner or partners is often challenging. Here, we report the preparation and characterization of PbdB, the native reductase partner of PbdA, a bacterial P450 enzyme that catalyzes the O-demethylation of para-methoxylated benzoates. Through production in a rhodoccocal host, codon optimization, and anaerobic purification, this procedure overcomes conventional challenges in redox partner production and allows for robust oxygenase characterization with its native redox partner. Key lessons learned here, including the value of production in a related host and rare codon effects are applicable to a broad range of Fe-dependent oxygenases and their components.

Abstract
The midpoint potential of the [Fe2S2]-Cys4-cluster in proteins is known to vary between -200 and -450 mV. This variation is caused by the different electrostatic environment of the cluster in the respective proteins. Continuum electrostatics can quantify the impact of the protein environment on the redox potential. Thus, if the redox potential of a [Fe2S2]-Cys4-cluster model compound in aqueous solution would be known, then redox potentials in various protein complexes could be calculated. However, [Fe2S2]-Cys4-cluster models are not water-soluble, and thus, their redox potential can not be measured in aqueous solution. To overcome this problem, we introduce a method that we call Virtual Model Compound Approach (VMCA) to extrapolate the model redox potential from known redox potentials of proteins. We carefully selected high-resolution structures for our analysis and divide them into a fit set, for fitting the model redox potential, and an independent test set, to check the validity of the model redox potential. However, from our analysis, we realized that the some structures can not be used as downloaded from the PDB but had to be re-refined in order to calculate reliable redox potentials. Because of the re-refinement, we were able to significantly reduce the standard deviation of our derived model redox potential for the [Fe2S2]-Cys4-cluster from 31 mV to 10 mV. As the model redox potential, we obtained -184 mV. This model redox potential can be used to analyze the redox behavior of [Fe2S2]-Cys4-clusters in larger protein complexes.

Abstract
The strict requirement of cytochrome P450cam for its native ferredoxin redox partner, putidaredoxin (Pdx), is not exhibited by any other known cytochrome P450 (CYP) system and the molecular details of redox partner selectivity are still not completely understood. We therefore examined the selectivity of a related Pseudomonas cytochrome P450, P450lin, by testing its activity with non-native redox partners. We found that P450lin could utilize Arx, the native redox partner of CYP101D1, to enable turnover of its substrate, linalool, while Pdx showed limited activity. Arx exhibited a higher sequence similarity to P450lins native redox partner, linredoxin (Ldx) than Pdx, including several residues that are believed to be at the interface of the two proteins, based on the P450cam-Pdx complex structure. We therefore mutated Pdx to resemble Ldx and Arx and found that a double mutant, D38L/∆106, displayed higher activity than Arx. In addition, Pdx D38L/∆106 does not induce a low-spin shift in linalool bound P450lin but does destabilize the P450lin-oxycomplex. Together our results suggest that P450lin and its redox partners may form a similar interface to P450cam-Pdx, but the interactions that allow for productive turnover are different.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs/P450s) are heme-thiolate proteins that are ubiquitously present in organisms, including non-living entities such as viruses. With the exception of self-sufficient P450s, all other P450 enzymes need electrons to perform their enzymatic activity and these electrons are supplied by P450 redox proteins. Different types of P450 redox proteins can be found in organisms and are classified into different classes. Bacterial P450s (class I) receive electrons from ferredoxins which are iron-sulfur cluster proteins. The presence of more than one copy and different types of ferredoxins within a bacterial species poses fundamental questions about the selectivity of P450s and ferredoxins in relation to each other. Apart from transferring electrons, ferredoxins have also been found to modulate P450 functions. Achieving an understanding of the interaction between ferredoxins and P450s is required to harness their biotechnological potential for designing a universal electron transfer protein. A brief overview of factors playing a role in ferredoxin and P450 interactions is presented in this review article.

Abstract
Putidaredoxin (Pdx) is the exclusive reductase and a structural effector for P450cam (CYP101A1). However, the mechanism of how Pdx modulates the conformational states of P450cam remains elusive. Here we report a putative communication pathway for the Pdx-induced conformational change in P450cam using results of double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. Use of solution state DEER measurements allows us to observe subtle conformational changes in the internal helices in P450cam among closed, open, and P450cam-Pdx complex states. Molecular dynamics simulations and dynamic network analysis suggest that Pdx binding is coupled to small coordinated movements of several regions of P450cam, including helices C, B', I, G, and F. These changes provide a linkage between the Pdx binding site on the proximal side of the enzyme and helices F/G on the distal side and the site of the largest movement resulting from the Pdx-induced closed-to-open transition. This study provides a detailed rationale for how Pdx exerts its long-recognized effector function at the active site from its binding site on the opposite face of the enzyme.

Abstract
In this study, the catalytic activity and kinetic characteristics of the aromatic hydrocarbon dioxygenase system and the possibility of substituting its ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase components were evaluated. The genes encoding toluene dioxygenase and toluene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase were cloned from Pseudomonas putida F1, and the corresponding enzymes were overexpressed and purified to homogeneity. Oxidative hydroxylation of toluene to cis-toluene dihydrodiol was catalyzed by toluene dioxygenase, and its subsequent dehydrogenation to 3-methylcatechol was catalyzed by toluene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase. The specific activity of the dioxygenase was 2.82 U/mg-protein, which is highly remarkable compared with the values obtained in previous researches conducted with crude extracts or insoluble forms of enzymes. Kinetic parameters, as characterized by the Hill equation, were vmax = 497.2 μM/min, KM = 542.4 μM, and nH = 2.2, suggesting that toluene dioxygenase has at least three cooperative binding sites for toluene. In addition, the use of alternative ferredoxins and reductases was examined. Ferredoxin cloned from CYP153 could transfer electrons to the iron sulfur protein component of toluene dioxygenase. The ferredoxin could be reduced by ferredoxin, rubredoxin, and putidaredoxin reductases of CYP153, alkane-1 monooxygenase, and camphor 5-monooxygenase, respectively. The results provide useful information regarding the effective enzymatic biotreatment of hazardous aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants.

Abstract
![]()
Enzyme function requires that enzyme structures be dynamic. Substrate
binding, product release, and transition state stabilization typically
involve different enzyme conformers. Furthermore, in multistep enzyme-catalyzed
reactions, more than one enzyme conformation may be important for
stabilizing different transition states. While X-ray crystallography
provides the most detailed structural information of any current methodology,
X-ray crystal structures of enzymes capture only those conformations
that fit into the crystal lattice, which may or may not be relevant
to function. Solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods can
provide an alternative approach to characterizing enzymes under nonperturbing
and controllable conditions, allowing one to identify and localize
dynamic processes that are important to function. However, many enzymes
are too large for standard approaches to making sequential resonance
assignments, a critical first step in analyzing and interpreting the
wealth of information inherent in NMR spectra. This Account
describes our long-standing NMR-based research into
structural and dynamic aspects of function in the cytochrome P450
monooxygenase superfamily. These heme-containing enzymes typically
catalyze the oxidation of unactivated C–H and C=C bonds
in a multitude of substrates, often with complete regio- and stereospecificity.
Over 600 000 genes in GenBank have been assigned to P450s,
yet all known P450 structures exhibit a highly conserved and unique
fold. This combination of functional and structural conservation with
a vast substrate clientele, each substrate having multiple possible
sites for oxidation, makes the P450s a unique target for understanding
the role of enzyme structure and dynamics in determining a particular
substrate–product combination. P450s are large by solution
NMR standards, requiring us to develop specialized approaches for
making sequential resonance assignments and interpreting the spectral
changes that occur as a function of changing conditions (e.g., oxidation
and spin state changes, ligand, substrate or effector binding). Solution
conformations are characterized by the fitting of residual dipolar
couplings (RDCs) measured for sequence-specifically assigned amide
N–H correlations to alignment tensors optimized in the course
of restrained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The conformational
ensembles obtained by such RDC-restrained simulations, which we call
“soft annealing”, are then tested by site-directed mutation
and spectroscopic and activity assays for relevance. These efforts
have gained us insights into cryptic conformational changes associated
with substrate and redox partner binding that were not suspected from
crystal structures, but were shown by subsequent work to be relevant
to function. Furthermore, it appears that many of these changes can
be generalized to P450s besides those that we have characterized,
providing guidance for enzyme engineering efforts. While past research
was primarily directed at the more tractable prokaryotic P450s, our
current efforts are aimed at medically relevant human enzymes, including
CYP17A1, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4.

Abstract
Photoinduced charge-transfer dynamics and the influence of cluster size on the dynamics were investigated using five iron-sulfur clusters: the 1Fe-4S cluster in Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin, the 2Fe-2S cluster in Pseudomonas putida putidaredoxin, the 4Fe-4S cluster in nitrogenase iron protein, and the 8Fe-7S P-cluster and the 7Fe-9S-1Mo FeMo cofactor in nitrogenase MoFe protein. Laser excitation promotes the iron-sulfur clusters to excited electronic states that relax to lower states. The electronic relaxation lifetimes of the 1Fe-4S, 8Fe-7S, and 7Fe-9S-1Mo clusters are on the picosecond time scale, although the dynamics of the MoFe protein is a mixture of the dynamics of the latter two clusters. The lifetimes of the 2Fe-2S and 4Fe-4S clusters, however, extend to several nanoseconds. A competition between reorganization energies and the density of electronic states (thus electronic coupling between states) mediates the charge-transfer lifetimes, with the 2Fe-2S cluster of Pdx and the 4Fe-4S cluster of Fe protein lying at the optimum leading to them having significantly longer lifetimes. Their long lifetimes make them the optimal candidates for long-range electron transfer and as external photosensitizers for other photoactivated chemical reactions like solar hydrogen production. Potential electron-transfer and hole-transfer pathways that possibly facilitate these charge transfers are proposed.

Abstract
Previous crystal structures of cytochrome P450cam complexed with its redox partner, putidaredoxin (Pdx), shows that P450cam adopts the open conformation. It has been hypothesized that the Pdx-induced shift toward the open state frees the essential Asp251 from salt bridges with Arg186 and Lys178 so that Asp251 can participate in a proton relay network required for O2 activation. This in part explains why P450cam has such a strict requirement for Pdx. One problem with this view is that looser substrate-protein interactions in the open state may not be compatible with the observed regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation. In the present study, molecular dynamics simulations show that Pdx binding favors a conformation that stabilizes the active site and decreases camphor mobility yet retains a partially open conformation compatible with the required proton relay network. The R186A mutant which frees Asp251 in the absence of Pdx retains good enzyme activity, and the crystal structure shows that product, 5-exo-hydroxycamphor, is bound. This indicates that rupture of the Asp251-Arg186 relaxes selectivity with respect to source of electrons and enables X-ray generated reducing equivalents to support substrate hydroxylation. These combined computational and experimental results are consistent with the proposed role of Pdx in assisting the release of Asp251 from ion pairs so that it can participate in proton-coupled electron transfer.

Abstract
In this study, the effector role of Pdx (putidaredoxin) on cytochrome P450cam conformation is refined by attaching two different spin labels, MTSL or BSL (bifunctional spin-label) onto the F or G helices and using DEER (double electron-electron resonance) to measure the distance between labels. Recent EPR and crystallographic studies have observed that oxidized Pdx induces substrate-bound P450cam to change from the closed to the open state. However, this change was not observed by DEER in the reduced Pdx complex with carbon-monoxide-bound P450cam (Fe(2+)CO). In addition, recent NMR studies have failed to observe a change in P450cam conformation upon binding Pdx. Hence, resolving these issues is important for a full understanding the effector role of Pdx. Here we show that oxidized Pdx induces camphor-bound P450cam to shift from the closed to the open conformation when labeled on either the F or G helices with MTSL. BSL at these sites can either narrow the distance distribution widths dramatically or alter the extent of the conformational change. In addition, we report DEER spectra on a mixed oxidation state containing oxidized Pdx and ferrous CO-bound P450cam, showing that P450cam remains closed. This indicates that CO binding to the heme prevents P450cam from opening, overriding the influence exerted by Pdx binding. Finally, we report the open form P450cam crystal structure with substrate bound, which suggests that crystal packing effects may prevent conformational conversion. Using multiple labeling approaches, DEER provides a unique perspective to resolve how the conformation of P450cam depends on Pdx and ligand states.

Abstract
The heme iron of cytochromes P450 must be reduced to bind and activate molecular oxygen for substrate oxidation. Reducing equivalents are derived from a redox partner, which requires the formation of a protein-protein complex. A subject of increasing discussion is the role that redox partner binding plays, if any, in favoring significant structural changes in the P450s that are required for activity. Many P450s now have been shown to experience large open and closed motions. Several structural and spectral studies indicate that the well-studied P450cam adopts the open conformation when its redox partner, putidaredoxin (Pdx), binds, whereas recent NMR studies indicate that this view is incorrect. Given the relevance of this discrepancy to P450 chemistry, it is important to determine whether Pdx favors the open or closed form of P450cam. Here, we have used both computational and experimental isothermal titration calorimetry studies that unequivocally show Pdx favors binding to the open form of P450cam. Analyses of molecular-dynamic trajectories also provide insights into intermediate conformational states that could be relevant to catalysis.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 (P450s) are hemoproteins catalyzing oxidative biotransformation of a vast array of natural and xenobiotic compounds. Reducing equivalents required for dioxygen cleavage and substrate hydroxylation originate from different redox partners including diflavin reductases, flavodoxins, ferredoxins and phthalate dioxygenase reductase (PDR)-type proteins. Accordingly, circumstantial analysis of structural and physicochemical features governing donor-acceptor recognition and electron transfer poses an intriguing challenge. Thus, conformational flexibility reflected by togging between closed and open states of solvent exposed patches on the redox components was shown to be instrumental to steered electron transmission. Here, the membrane-interactive tails of the P450 enzymes and donor proteins were recognized to be crucial to proper orientation toward each other of surface sites on the redox modules steering functional coupling. Also, mobile electron shuttling may come into play. While charge-pairing mechanisms are of primary importance in attraction and complexation of the redox partners, hydrophobic and van der Waals cohesion forces play a minor role in docking events. Due to catalytic plasticity of P450 enzymes, there is considerable promise in biotechnological applications. Here, deeper insight into the mechanistic basis of the redox machinery will permit optimization of redox processes via directed evolution and DNA shuffling. Thus, creation of hybrid systems by fusion of the modified heme domain of P450s with proteinaceous electron carriers helps obviate the tedious reconstitution procedure and induces novel activities. Also, P450-based amperometric biosensors may open new vistas in pharmaceutical and clinical implementation and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450cam catalyzes the stereo and regiospecific hydroxylation of camphor to 5-exo-hydroxylcamphor. The two electrons for the oxidation of camphor are provided by putidaredoxin (Pdx), a Fe2 S2 containing protein. Two recent crystal structures of the P450cam-Pdx complex, one solved with the aid of covalent cross-linking and one without, have provided a structural picture of the redox partner interaction. To study the stability of the complex structure and the minor differences between the recent crystal structures, a 100 nanosecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the cross-linked structure, mutated in silico to wild type and the linker molecule removed, was performed. The complex was stable over the course of the simulation though conformational changes including the movement of the C helix of P450cam further toward Pdx allowed for the formation of a number of new contacts at the complex interface that remained stable throughout the simulation. While several minor crystal contacts were lost in the simulation, all major contacts that had been experimentally studied previously were maintained. The equilibrated MD structure contained a mixture of contacts resembling both the cross-linked and noncovalent structures and the newly identified interactions. Finally, the reformation of the P450cam Asp251-Arg186 ion pair in the MD simulation mirrors the ion pair observed in the more promiscuous CYP101D1 and suggests that the Asp251-Arg186 ion pair may be important.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are environmentally friendly biocatalysts that catalyze diverse chemical reactions using molecular oxygen under mild reaction conditions. P450s are activated upon receiving electrons from specific redox partner proteins, although the redox partners for most bacterial/archaeal P450s are not yet identified. Thus, it is important to establish a variety of efficient and versatile electron transfer systems from NAD(P)H to P450s for the design of biocatalysts. Sulfolobus solfataricus possesses a heterotrimeric proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Fusion of the PCNA subunits to S. acidocaldarius P450 (CYP119) and the Pseudomonas putida redox proteins, putidaredoxin (PdX) and putidaredoxin reductase (PdR), yielded a selective protein complex containing one molecule each of the three proteins. The PCNA-mediated heterotrimerization of CYP119, PdX, and PdR enhanced the CYP119 activity, likely as a result of high local concentrations of the two redox proteins toward CYP119. Therefore, the PCNA-mediated formation of the complex containing PdX and PdR might be applicable for harnessing the utility of P450s whose redox partners are not yet identified.

Abstract
Although CYP101D1 and P450cam catalyze the same reaction at similar rates and share strikingly similar active site architectures, there are significant functional differences. CYP101D1 thus provides an opportunity to probe what structural and functional features must be shared and what features can differ but maintain the high catalytic efficiency. Crystal structures of the cyanide complex of wild-type CYP101D1 and it active site mutants, D259N and T260A, have been determined. The conformational changes in CYP101D1 upon cyanide binding are very similar to those of P450cam, indicating a similar mechanism for proton delivery during oxygen activation using solvent-assisted proton transfer. The D259N-CN- complex shows a perturbed solvent structure compared to that of the wild type, which is similar to what was observed in the oxy complex of the corresonding D251N mutant in P450cam. As in P450cam, the T260A mutant is highly uncoupled while the D259N mutant gives barely detectable activity. Despite these similarities, CYP101D1 is able to use the P450cam redox partners while P450cam cannot use the CYP101D1 redox partners. Thus, the strict requirement of P450cam for its own redox partner is relaxed in CYP101D1. Differences in the local environment of the essential Asp (Asp259 in CYP101D1) provide a strucutral basis for understanding these functional differences.

Abstract
A close orthologue to cytochrome P450cam (CYP101A1) that catalyzes the same hydroxylation of camphor to 5-exo-hydroxycamphor is CYP101D1. There are potentially important differences in and around the active site that could contribute to subtle functional differences. Adjacent to the heme iron ligand, Cys357, is Leu358 in P450cam, whereas this residue is Ala in CYP101D1. Leu358 plays a role in binding of the P450cam redox partner, putidaredoxin (Pdx). On the opposite side of the heme, about 15-20 Å away, Asp251 in P450cam plays a critical role in a proton relay network required for O2 activation but forms strong ion pairs with Arg186 and Lys178. In CYP101D1 Gly replaces Lys178. Thus, the local electrostatic environment and ion pairing are substantially different in CYP101D1. These sites have been systematically mutated in P450cam to the corresponding residues in CYP101D1 and the mutants analyzed by crystallography, kinetics, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Individually, the mutants have little effect on activity or structure, but in combination there is a major drop in enzyme activity. This loss in activity is due to the mutants being locked in the low-spin state, which prevents electron transfer from the P450cam redox partner, Pdx. These studies illustrate the strong synergistic effects on well-separated parts of the structure in controlling the equilibrium between the open (low-spin) and closed (high-spin) conformational states.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 catalyze a variety of monooxygenase reactions that require electron transfer from redox partners. Although the structure of many P450s and a small handful of redox partners are known, there is very little structural information available on redox complexes, thus leaving a gap in our understanding on the control of P450-redox partner interactions. We have solved the crystal structure of oxidized and reduced P450cam complexed with its redox partner, putidaredoxin (Pdx), to 2.2 and 2.09 angstroms, respectively. It was anticipated that Pdx would favor closed substrate-bound P450cam, which differs substantially from the open conformer, but instead we found that Pdx favors the open state. These new structures indicate that the effector role of Pdx is to shift P450cam toward the open conformation, which enables the establishment of a water-mediated H-bonded network, which is required for proton-coupled electron transfer.

Abstract
We site-specifically conjugated biotin-PEG derivatives with spacer arms of different lengths to mutant P450cam (3mD) and evaluated the activity of and structural changes in the conjugates as a first step toward clarifying the mechanism whereby the activity of the 3mD conjugate is inhibited. 3mD was prepared by site-specific mutation to inhibit its enzymatic activity artificially, after which the derivative compounds were conjugated to the enzyme. 3mD has one cysteine on its surface with a reactive thiol group that can react with compounds near the active site, where a conformational change will be induced after conjugation. The activity of 3mD was retained in the biotin-PEG₂-3mD conjugate, but was dramatically reduced in the biotin-PEG₁₁-3mD conjugate. To investigate the effect of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) length on the enzymatic activity after conjugation, PEGs of different lengths, exceeding that in biotin-PEG₁₁, and whose termini were not biotin, were conjugated to 3mD. The activity of 3mD decreased in all these conjugates. This indicates that the activity of 3mD in these conjugates decreased after its conjugation with PEG molecules that exceeded a certain length. The biotin-PEG₂-3mD, which retains enzymatic activity after conjugation, showed avidin responsiveness; the enzymatic activity decreased after avidin binding.

Abstract
The chlorosome envelope of Chlorobaculum tepidum contains 10 polypeptides, three of which, CsmI, CsmJ, and CsmX, have an adrenodoxin-like domain harboring a single [2Fe-2S] cluster. Mutants that produced chlorosomes containing two, one, or none of these Fe-S proteins were constructed [Li, H., et al. (2013) Biochemistry 52, preceding paper in this issue ( DOI: 10.1021/bi301454g )]. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, g values, and line widths of the Fe-S clusters in individual CsmI, CsmJ, and CsmX proteins were obtained from studies with isolated chlorosomes. The Fe-S clusters in these proteins were characterized by EPR and could be differentiated on the basis of their g values and line widths. The EPR spectrum of wild-type chlorosomes could be simulated by a 1:1 admixture of the CsmI and CsmJ spectra. No contribution of CsmX to the EPR spectrum of chlorosomes was observed because of its low abundance. In chlorosomes that contained only CsmI or CsmJ, the midpoint potential of the [2Fe-2S] clusters was -205 or 8 mV, respectively; the midpoint potential of the [2Fe-2S] cluster in CsmX was estimated to be more oxidizing than -180 mV. In wild-type chlorosomes, the midpoint potentials of the [2Fe-2S] clusters were -348 mV for CsmI and 92 mV for CsmJ. The lower potential for CsmI in the presence of CsmJ, and the higher potential for CsmJ in the presence of CsmI, were attributed to interactions that occur when these proteins form complexes in the chlorosome envelope. The redox properties of CsmI and CsmJ are consistent with their proposed participation in the transfer of electrons to and from quenchers of energy transfer in chlorosomes.

Abstract
In nature, enzymes often form multienzyme complexes to enhance their catalytic efficiencies and, -moreover, evolve into genetically fused multidomain enzymes. Inspired by a natural fusion cytochrome P450 (P450) containing a monooxygenase domain and a reductase domain, we have developed a heterotrimeric protein-utilized method to form a multienzyme complex composed of a bacterial P450 and its catalytically essential two redox proteins. Three distinct proliferating cell nuclear antigens (PCNAs) from Sulfolobus solfataricus, each of which can be separately expressed, spontaneously form a heterotrimer. Fusion to the PCNAs enables complex formation of a bacterial P450 and two redox proteins through the self-assembling of the PCNAs and enhances the activity due to efficient electron transfer in the complex. This PCNA-mediated multienzyme complex formation will be available for other multienzyme reactions.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the ISC-like [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin (FdxB), probably involved in the de novo iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis (ISC) system of Pseudomonas putida JCM 20004, was determined at 1.90-Å resolution and displayed a novel tail-to-tail dimeric form. P. putida FdxB lacks the consensus free cysteine usually present near the cluster of ISC-like ferredoxins, indicating its primarily electron transfer role in the iron-sulfur cluster. Orientation-selective electron-nuclear double resonance spectroscopic analysis of reduced FdxB in conjunction with the crystal structure has identified the innermost Fe2 site with a high positive spin population as the nonreducible iron retaining the Fe(3+) valence and the outermost Fe1 site as the reduced iron with a low negative spin density. The average g (max) direction is skewed, forming an angle of about 27.3° (±4°) with the normal of the [2Fe-2S] plane, whereas the g (int) and g (min) directions are distributed in the cluster plane, presumably tilted by the same angle with respect to this plane. These results are related to those for other [2Fe-2S] proteins in different electron transport chains (e.g. adrenodoxin) and suggest a significant distortion of the electronic structure of the reduced [2Fe-2S] cluster under the influence of the protein environment around each iron site in general.

Abstract
Most of the bacterial cytochrome P450 s require two kinds of electron transfer proteins, ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase, and thus P450 s do not show catalytic activity by themselves. A microbial transglutaminase-mediated site-specific cross-linking enables the formation of fusion P450 protein with a branched structure, which is generated from a genetic fusion protein of P450-ferredoxin reductase and ferredoxin, an interactive nanoscale protein structure. This fusion P450 system is self-sufficient due to intramolecular electron transfer, which means the system does not require additional electron-transferring proteins. Because some components of bacterial cytochrome P450 system are interchangeable, this self-sufficient system can be applied to non-natural combination of P450 and electron transfer proteins from different species of bacteria.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are valuable biocatalysts due to their ability to hydroxylate unactivated carbon atoms using molecular oxygen. We have cloned the gene for a new cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, named CYP154H1, from the moderately thermophilic soil bacterium Thermobifida fusca. The enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli at up to 14% of total soluble protein and purified to homogeneity in three steps. CYP154H1 activity was reconstituted using putidaredoxin reductase and putidaredoxin from Pseudomonas putida DSM 50198 as surrogate electron transfer partners. In biocatalytic reactions with different aliphatic and aromatic substrates of varying size, the enzyme converted small aromatic and arylaliphatic compounds like ethylbenzene, styrene, and indole. Furthermore, CYP154H1 also accepted different arylaliphatic sulfides as substrates chemoselectively forming the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones. The enzyme is moderately thermostable with an apparent melting temperature of 67°C and exhibited still 90% of initial activity after incubation at 50°C.

Structural biology of redox partner interactions in P450cam monooxygenase: a fresh look at an old system. Arch Biochem Biophys 2010; 507:66-74.

Abstract
The P450cam monooxygenase system consists of three separate proteins: the FAD-containing, NADH-dependent oxidoreductase (putidaredoxin reductase or Pdr), cytochrome P450cam and the 2Fe2S ferredoxin (putidaredoxin or Pdx), which transfers electrons from Pdr to P450cam. Over the past few years our lab has focused on the interaction between these redox components. It has been known for some time that Pdx can serve as an effector in addition to its electron shuttle role. The binding of Pdx to P450cam is thought to induce structural changes in the P450cam active site that couple electron transfer to substrate hydroxylation. The nature of these structural changes has remained unclear until a particular mutant of P450cam (Leu358Pro) was found to exhibit spectral perturbations similar to those observed in wild type P450cam bound to Pdx. The crystal structure of the L358P variant has provided some important insights on what might be happening when Pdx docks. In addition to these studies, many Pdx mutants have been analyzed to identify regions important for electron transfer. Somewhat surprisingly, we found that Pdx residues predicted to be at the P450cam-Pdx interface play different roles in the reduction of ferric P450cam and the ferrous P450-O(2) complex. More recently we have succeeded in obtaining the structure of a chemically cross-linked Pdr-Pdx complex. This fusion protein represents a valid model for the noncovalent Pdr-Pdx complex as it retains the redox activities of native Pdr and Pdx and supports monooxygenase reactions catalyzed by P450cam. The insights gained from these studies will be summarized in this review.

Abstract
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows to visualize and count the individual protein molecules and their complexes within multiprotein systems. On the other hand, optical biosensor (OB) provides information on complex formation kinetics as well as complex lifetime (τ(LT)) and affinity. Comparison of complex lifetime τ(LT) with the time required for enzyme's catalytic cycle (τ(cat)) enables to characterize productive complexes and distinguish them from non-productive ones. Both these approaches were applied for the analysis of the three cytochrome P450-containing monooxygenase systems: cytochrome P450 101, cytochrome P450 11A1 and cytochrome P450 2B4. By using AFM, the formation of binary and ternary protein complexes was registered in all the three systems. OB analysis enabled to kinetically characterize these binary and ternary complexes. It was shown that the binary complexes putidaredoxin reductase (PdR)/putidaredoxin (Pd) and Pd/cytochrome P450 101 (P450 101) formed within the P450 101 system and, also, the binary complexes adrenodoxin reductase (AdR)/adrenodoxin (Ad) and Ad/cytochrome P450 11A1 (P450 11A1) formed within the P450 11A1 system are non-productive (deadlock). At the same time, the ternary PdR/Pd/P450 101 and AdR/Ad/P450 11A1 complexes proved to be productive. The binary cytochrome P450 reductase (Fp)/cytochrome P450 2B4 (2B4) complexes and the ternary Fp/2B4/cytochrome b5 (b5) complexes formed within P450 2B4 system were productive.

Abstract
In this study, we test the functional validity of the recently determined crystal structure of a covalently linked putidaredoxin reductase (Pdr)-putidaredoxin (Pdx) complex. The structure predicts several surface residues in Pdr as important for complex formation and/or electron transfer (ET). The R65A, R310A, R310E, K339A, N384A, K387A, and K409A mutants of Pdr have been prepared and characterized, and the mutational effects on the kinetics of Pdx reduction during single and steady-state turnover have been assessed. Replacement of Asp384 was found to have no effect on the Pdr-Pdx interaction. The K339A, K387A, and K409A substitutions moderately inhibited the binding affinity and reduction of Pdx, whereas the R65A and R310A mutations lowered the interprotein ET rate by 20-30-fold without perturbing the Pdx association step. The charge reversal on Arg310 had the most profound effect and decreased both the Pdr-to-Pdx ET and partner binding affinity by 100- and 8-fold, respectively. Our findings support the structural data and suggest that (i) the X-ray model is biologically relevant, (ii) arginines 65 and 310 are the key elements required for the formation of a productive ET complex with Pdx, (iii) the C-terminal lysine cluster assists in Pdx docking by fine-tuning Pdr-Pdx interactions to achieve the optimal geometry between the redox centers, and (iv) the basic surface residues in Pdr-like ferredoxin reductases not only define specificity for the redox partner but also may facilitate its dissociation.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes of the CYP101 and CYP111 families from the oligotrophic bacterium Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM12444 are heme monooxygenases that receive electrons from NADH via Arx, a [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin, and ArR, a ferredoxin reductase. These systems show fast NADH turnovers (k(cat) = 39-91 s(-1)) that are efficiently coupled to product formation. The three-dimensional structures of ArR, Arx, and CYP101D1, which form a physiological class I P450 electron transfer chain, have been resolved by x-ray crystallography. The general structural features of these proteins are similar to their counterparts in other class I systems such as putidaredoxin reductase (PdR), putidaredoxin (Pdx), and CYP101A1 of the camphor hydroxylase system from Pseudomonas putida, and adrenodoxin (Adx) of the mitochondrial steroidogenic CYP11 and CYP24A1 systems. However, significant differences in the proposed protein-protein interaction surfaces of the ferredoxin reductase, ferredoxin, and P450 enzyme are found. There are regions of positive charge on the likely interaction face of ArR and CYP101D1 and a corresponding negatively charged area on the surface of Arx. The [2Fe-2S] cluster binding loop in Arx also has a neutral, hydrophobic patch on the surface. These surface characteristics are more in common with those of Adx than Pdx. The observed structural features are consistent with the ionic strength dependence of the activity.

Abstract
We have used (57)Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to study the Fe(2)S(2)(Cys)(4) sites in oxidized and reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins from Rhodobacter capsulatus (Rc FdVI) and Aquifex aeolicus (Aa Fd5). In the oxidized forms, nearly identical NRVS patterns are observed, with strong bands from Fe-S stretching modes peaking around 335 cm(-1), and additional features observed as high as the B(2u) mode at approximately 421 cm(-1). Both forms of Rc FdVI have also been investigated by resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy. There is good correspondence between NRVS and Raman frequencies, but because of different selection rules, intensities vary dramatically between the two kinds of spectra. For example, the B(3u) mode at approximately 288 cm(-1), attributed to an asymmetric combination of the two FeS(4) breathing modes, is often the strongest resonance Raman feature. In contrast, it is nearly invisible in the NRVS, as there is almost no Fe motion in such FeS(4) breathing. NRVS and RR analysis of isotope shifts with (36)S-substituted into bridging S(2-) ions in Rc FdVI allowed quantitation of S(2-) motion in different normal modes. We observed the symmetric Fe-Fe stretching mode at approximately 190 cm(-1) in both NRVS and RR spectra. At still lower energies, the NRVS presents a complex envelope of bending, torsion, and protein modes, with a maximum at 78 cm(-1). The (57)Fe partial vibrational densities of states (PVDOS) were interpreted by normal-mode analysis with optimization of Urey-Bradley force fields. Progressively more complex D(2h) Fe(2)S(2)S'(4), C(2h) Fe(2)S(2)(SCC)(4), and C(1) Fe(2)S(2)(Cys)(4) models were optimized by comparison with the experimental spectra. After modification of the CHARMM22 all-atom force field by the addition of refined Fe-S force constants, a simulation employing the complete protein structure was used to reproduce the PVDOS, with better results in the low frequency protein mode region. This process was then repeated for analysis of data on the reduced FdVI. Finally, the degree of collectivity was used to quantitate the delocalization of the dynamic properties of the redox-active Fe site. The NRVS technique demonstrates great promise for the observation and quantitative interpretation of the dynamical properties of Fe-S proteins.

Abstract
In the camphor monooxygenase system from Pseudomonas putida, the [2Fe-2S]-containing putidaredoxin (Pdx) shuttles electrons between the NADH-dependent putidaredoxin reductase (Pdr) and cytochrome P450(cam). The mechanism of the Pdr.Pdx redox couple has been investigated by a variety of techniques. One of the exceptions is x-ray crystallography as the native partners associate weakly and resist co-crystallization. Here, we present the 2.6-A x-ray structure of a catalytically active complex between Pdr and Pdx C73S/C85S chemically cross-linked via the Lys(409Pdr)-Glu(72Pdx) pair. The 365 A(2) Pdr-Pdx interface is predominantly hydrophobic with one central Arg(310Pdr)-Asp(38Pdx) salt bridge, likely assisting docking and orienting the partners optimally for electron transfer, and a few peripheral hydrogen bonds. A predicted 12-A-long electron transfer route between FAD and [2Fe-2S] includes flavin flanking Trp(330Pdr) and the iron ligand Cys(39Pdx). The x-ray model agrees well with the experimental and theoretical results and suggests that the linked Pdx must undergo complex movements during turnover to accommodate P450(cam), which could limit the Pdx-to-P450(cam) electron transfer reaction.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450-199A2 from Rhodopseudomonas palustris oxidizes para-substituted benzoic acids and may play a role in lignin and aromatic acid degradation pathways in the bacterium. CYP199A2 has an associated [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin, palustrisredoxin (Pux) but not a ferredoxin reductase. A genome search identified the palustrisredoxin reductase (PuR) gene. PuR was produced in Escherichia coli and shown to be a flavin-dependent protein that supports efficient electron transfer from NADH to Pux, thus reconstituting CYP199A2 monooxygenase activity (k(cat) = 37.9 s(-1) with 4-methoxybenzoic acid). The reduction of Pux by PuR shows K(m) = 4.2 microM and k(cat) = 262 s(-1) in 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4. K(m) is increased to 154 microM in the presence of 200 mM KCl, indicating the importance of ionic interactions in PuR/Pux binding. The crystal structure of PuR has been determined at 2.2 A resolution and found to be closely related to that of other oxygenase-coupled NADH-dependent ferredoxin reductases. Residues on the surface that had been proposed to be involved in ferredoxin reductase-ferredoxin binding are conserved in PuR. However, Lys328 in PuR lies over the FAD isoalloxazine ring and, together with His11 and Gln41, render the electrostatic potential of the surface more positive and may account for the greater involvement of electrostatic interactions in ferredoxin binding by PuR. Consistent with these observations the K328G mutation weakened Pux binding and virtually eliminated the dependence of PuR/Pux binding on salt concentration, thus confirming that the FAD si side surface in the vicinity of Lys328 is the ferredoxin binding site.

In the cytochrome P450cam-dependent monooxygenase system from Pseudomonas putida, putidaredoxin (Pdx) shuttles electrons between putidaredoxin reductase (Pdr) and P450cam and, thus, must form transient complexes with both partners. 1-Ethyl 3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC) was found to promote formation of stoichiometric Pdr-Pdx complexes only when carboxyl groups on Pdx were activated. The yield of the EDC-mediated cross-link depended on the Pdx variant used and the redox state of both partners, decreasing in the following order: Pdr(ox)-Pdx(ox) > Pdr(ox)-Pdx(red) > or = Pdr(red)-Pdx(red). The Pdr-Pdx C73S/C85S conjugate was purified and characterized. Compared to the equimolar mixture of intact Pdr and Pdx, the fusion protein was more efficient in electron transfer to cytochrome c and, in the presence of saturating levels of P450cam, more effectively supported camphor hydroxylation. On the basis of our results, we conclude that (i) the cross-linked complex is physiologically relevant and represents a suitable model for mechanistic studies, (ii) molecular recognition between Pdr and Pdx is redox-controlled and assisted by the Glu72(Pdx)-Lys409(Pdr) charge-charge interactions, and (iii) the high specificity of the Pdr-Pdx couple may be due to finely tuned interactions at the protein-protein interface resulting in only one strongly preferred docking orientation leading to efficient FAD-to-[2Fe-2S] electron transfer.

Designing a whole-cell biotransformation system in Escherichia coli using cytochrome P450 from Streptomyces peucetius. Biotechnol Lett 2008; 30:1101-6. [PMID: 18259876 DOI: 10.1007/s10529-008-9654-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2008] [Revised: 01/21/2008] [Accepted: 01/22/2008] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
A biotransformation system was designed to co-express CYP107P3 (CSP4), cytochrome P450, from Streptomyces peuceticus, along with CamA (putidaredoxin reductase) and CamB (putidaredoxin) from Pseudomonas putida, the necessary reducing equivalents, in a class I type electron-transfer system in E. coli BL21 (DE3). This was carried out using two plasmids with different selection markers and compatible origins of replication. The study results showed that this biotransformation system was able to mediate the O-dealkylation of 7-ethoxycumarin.
