[PMID: 38317971 PMCID: PMC10838780 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases perform a multitude of roles, including the generation of hydroxylated aromatic compounds that might be utilized by microorganisms for their survival. WGS data of Amycolatopsis magusensis KCCM40447 revealed a complete circular genome of 9,099,986 base pairs and functionally assigned 8601 protein-encoding genes. Genomic analysis confirmed that the gene for 4-methoxybenzoate monoxygenase (CYP199A35) was conserved in close proximity to the gene for 4-hydroxybenzoate transporter (PcaK). The co-localized genes encoding CYP199A35, and ferredoxin-NAD(P) reductase (Mbr) represent a two-component system for electron transfer. CYP199A35 was specific for O-demethylation of para O-methyl substituted benzoic acid derivatives, 4-methoxybenzoate (4 MB), and 4-methoxycinnamic acid (4MCA) using the native redox partner (Mbr); two-component system and non-physiological redox partners (Pdr/Pdx); three-component system. The catalytic efficiency for O-demethylation of 4 MB using Mbr and Pdr/Pdx was 0.02 ± 0.006 min-1 μM-1 and 0.07 ± 0.02 min-1 μM-1 respectively. Further, sequence annotation and function prediction by RAST and KEEG analysis revealed a complete catabolic pathway for the utilization of 4 MB by strain KCCM40447, which was also proved experimentally.

Abstract
Powerfully oxidizing enzymes need protective mechanisms to prevent self-destruction. The flavocytochrome P450 BM3 from Priestia megaterium (P450BM3) is a self-sufficient monooxygenase that hydroxylates fatty acid substrates using O2 and NADPH as co-substrates. Hydroxylation of long-chain fatty acids (≥C14) is well coupled to O2 and NADPH consumption, but shorter chains (≤C12) are more poorly coupled. Hydroxylation of p-nitrophenoxydodecanoic acid by P450BM3 produces a spectrophotometrically detectable product wherein the coupling of NADPH consumption to product formation is just 10%. Moreover, the rate of NADPH consumption is 1.8 times that of O2 consumption, indicating that an oxidase uncoupling pathway is operative. Measurements of the total number of enzyme turnovers before inactivation (TTN) indicate that higher NADPH concentrations increase TTN. At lower NADPH levels, added ascorbate increases TTN, while a W96H mutation leads to a decrease. The W96 residue is about 7 Å from the P450BM3 heme and serves as a gateway residue in a tryptophan/tyrosine (W/Y) hole transport chain from the heme to a surface tyrosine residue. The data indicate that two oxidase pathways protect the enzyme from damage by intercepting the powerfully oxidizing enzyme intermediate (Compound I) and returning it to its resting state. At high NADPH concentrations, reducing equivalents from the flavoprotein are delivered to Compound I by the usual reductase pathway. When NADPH is not abundant, however, oxidizing equivalents from Compound I can traverse a W/Y chain, arriving at the enzyme surface where they are scavenged by reductants. Ubiquitous tryptophan/tyrosine chains in highly oxidizing enzymes likely perform similar protective functions.

Abstract
Limited numbers of CYPs have been reported to work naturally as peroxygenases. The peroxide shunt pathway can be efficiently used as an alternative for the NAD(P)H and reductase systems, particularly in high hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) resistance CYPs. We reported the structural and biochemical features of CYP105D18 peroxygenase for its high H2O2 tolerance capacity. Q348 was a crucial residue for the stability of CYP105D18 during the exposure to H2O2. In addition, the role of the hydrophilic amino acid T239 from the I helix for peroxygenation and regiospecificity toward testosterone was investigated. Interestingly, T239E differs in product formation from wild type, catalyzing testosterone to androstenedione in the presence of H2O2. The other variant, T239A, worked with the Pdx/Pdr system and was unable to catalyze testosterone conversion in the presence of H2O2, suggesting the transformation of peroxygenase into monooxygenase. CYP105D18 supported the alternative method of H2O2 used for the catalysis of testosterone. The use of the same concentration of urea hydrogen peroxide adducts in place of direct H2O2 was more efficient for 2β-hydroxytestosterone conversion. Furthermore, in situ H2O2 generation using GOx/glucose system enhanced the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) for wild type and F184A by 1.3- and 1.9-fold, respectively, compared to direct use of H2O2 The engineering of CYP105D18, its improved peroxygenase activity, and alteration in the product oxidation facilitate CYP105D18 as a potential candidate for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Described herein is the synthesis of the NiII complex (tBuMe2tacn)NiII(cycloneophyl) (tBuMe2tacn = 1-tert-butyl-4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, cycloneophyl = -CH2CMe2-o-C6H4-) and its reactivity with dioxygen and peroxides. The new tBuMe2tacn ligand is designed to enhance the oxidatively induced bond-forming reactivity of high-valent Ni intermediates. Tunable chemoselectivity for Csp2-O vs Csp2-Csp3 bond formation was achieved by selecting the appropriate solvent and reaction conditions. Importantly, the use of cumene hydroperoxide and meta-chloroperbenzoic acid suggests a heterolytic O-O bond cleavage upon reaction with (tBuMe2tacn)NiII(cycloneophyl). Mechanistic studies using isotopically labeled H2O2 support the generation of a high-valent Ni-oxygen species via an inner-sphere mechanism and subsequent reductive elimination to form the Csp2-O bond. Kinetic studies of the exceptionally fast Csp2-O bond-forming reaction reveal a first-order dependence on both (tBuMe2tacn)NiII(cycloneophyl) and H2O2, and thus an overall second-order reaction. Eyring analysis further suggests that the oxidation of the NiII complex by H2O2 is the rate-determining step, which can be modulated by the presence of coordinating solvents. Moreover, computational studies fully support the conclusions drawn from experimental results. Overall, this study reveals for the first time the ability to control the oxidatively induced C-C vs C-O bond formation reactions at a Ni center. Importantly, the described system merges the known organometallic reactivity of Ni with the biomimetic oxidative transformations resembling oxygenases and peroxidases, and involving high-valent metal-oxygen intermediates, which is a novel approach that should lead to unprecedented oxidative catalytic transformations.

Abstract
CYP105D18 supports H2O2 as an oxygen surrogate for catalysis well and shows high H2O2 resistance capacity. We report the hydroxylation of different steroids using H2O2 as a cosubstrate. Testosterone was regiospecifically hydroxylated to 2β-hydroxytestosterone. Based on the experimental data and molecular docking, we predicted that hydroxylation of methyl testosterone and nandrolone would occur at position 2 in the A-ring, while hydroxylation of androstenedione and adrenosterone was predicted to occur in the B-ring. Further, structure-guided rational design of the substrate access channel was performed with the mutagenesis of residues S63, R82, and F184. Among the mutants, S63A showed a marked decrease in product formation, while F184A showed a significant increase in product formation in testosterone, nandrolone, methyl testosterone, androstenedione, and adrenosterone. The catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) toward testosterone was increased 1.36-fold in the F184A mutant over that in the wild-type enzyme. These findings might facilitate the potential use of CYP105D18 and further engineering to establish the basis of biotechnological applications. IMPORTANCE The structural modification of steroids is a challenging chemical reaction. Modifying the core ring and the side chain improves the biological activity of steroids. In particular, bacterial cytochrome P450s are used as promiscuous enzymes for the activation of nonreactive carbons of steroids. In the present work, we reported the H2O2-mediated hydroxylation of steroids by CYP105D18, which also overcomes the use of expensive cofactors. Further, exploring the substrate access channel and modifying the bulky amino acid F184A increase substrate conversion while modifying the substrate recognizing amino acid S63 markedly decreases product formation. Exploring the substrate access channel and the rational design of CYP105D18 can improve the substrate conversion, which facilitates the engineering of P450s for industrial application.

Abstract
The bacterial CYP105 family is involved in secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways and plays essential roles in the biotransformation of xenobiotics. This study investigates the newly identified H2O2-mediated CYP105D18 from Streptomyces laurentii as the first bacterial CYP for N-oxidation. The catalytic efficiency of CYP105D18 for papaverine N-oxidation was 1.43 s-1 µM -1. The heme oxidation rate (k) was low (<0.3 min-1) in the presence of 200 mM H2O2. This high H2O2 tolerance capacity of CYP105D18 led to higher turnover prior to heme oxidation. Additionally, the high-resolution papaverine complexed structure and substrate-free structure of CYP105D18 were determined. Structural analysis and activity assay results revealed that CYP105D18 had a strong substrate preference for papaverine because of its bendable structure. These findings establish a basis for biotechnological applications of CYP105D18 in the pharmaceutical and medicinal industries.

Abstract
Bacterial cytochrome P450 (P450) 101A1 (P450cam) has served as a prototype among the P450 enzymes and has high catalytic activity towards its cognate substrate, camphor. X-ray crystallography and NMR and IR spectroscopy have demonstrated the existence of multiple conformations of many P450s, including P450cam. Kinetic studies have indicated that substrate binding to several P450s is dominated by a conformational selection process, in which the substrate binds an individual conformer(s) of the unliganded enzyme. P450cam was found to differ in that binding of the substrate camphor is dominated by an induced fit mechanism, in which the enzyme binds camphor and then changes conformation, as evidenced by the equivalence of binding eigenvalues observed when varying both camphor and P450cam concentrations. The accessory protein putidaredoxin had no effect on substrate binding. Estimation of the rate of dissociation of the P450cam·camphor complex (15 s-1) and fitting of the data yield a minimal kinetic mechanism in which camphor binds (1.5 × 107 M-1 s-1) and the initial P450cam•camphor complex undergoes a reversible equilibrium (k forward 112 s-1, k reverse 28 s-1) to a final complex. This induced fit mechanism differs from those reported for several mammalian P450s and bacterial P450BM-3, indicative of the diversity of how P450s recognize multiple substrates. However, similar behavior was not observed with the alternate substrates (+)-α-pinene and 2-adamantanone, which probably utilize a conformational selection process.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450cam is an archetypal example of the vast family of heme monooxygenases and serves as a model for an enzyme that is highly specific for both its substrate and reductase. During catalysis, it undergoes significant conformational changes of the F and G helices upon binding its substrate and redox partner, putidaredoxin (Pdx). Recent studies have shown that Pdx binding to the closed camphor-bound form of ferric P450cam results in its conversion to a fully open state. However, during catalytic turnover, it remains unclear whether this same conformational change also occurs or whether it is coupled to the formation of the critical compound I intermediate. Here, we have examined P450cam bound simultaneously by camphor, CN-, and Pdx as a mimic of the catalytically competent ferrous oxy-P450cam-Pdx state. The combined use of double electron-electron resonance and molecular dynamics showed direct observation of intermediate conformational states of the enzyme upon CN- and subsequent Pdx binding. This state is coupled to the movement of the I helix and residues at the active site, including Arg-186, Asp-251, and Thr-252. These movements enable occupation of a water molecule that has been implicated in proton delivery and peroxy bond cleavage to give compound I. These findings provide a detailed understanding of how the Pdx-induced conformational change may sequentially promote compound I formation followed by product release, while retaining stereoselective hydroxylation of the substrate of this highly specific monooxygenase.

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

Abstract
One of the major challenges in chemical synthesis is the selective oxyfunctionalization of non‐activated C‐H bonds, which can be enabled by biocatalysis using cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. In this study, we report on the characterization of the versatile CYP109Q5 from Chondromyces apiculatus DSM436, which is able to functionalize a wide range of substrates (terpenes, steroids and drugs), including the ring of β‐ionone in non‐allylic positions. The crystal structure of CYP109Q5 revealed flexibility within the active site pocket that permitted the accommodation of bulky substrates, and enabled a structure‐guided approach to engineering the enzyme. Some variants of CYP109Q5 displayed a switch in selectivity towards the non‐allylic positions of β‐ionone, allowing the simultaneous production of 2‐ and 3‐hydroxy‐β‐ionone, which are chemically challenging to synthesize and are important precursors for carotenoid synthesis. An efficient whole‐cell system finally enabled the production of up to 0.5 g l−1 hydroxylated products of β‐ionone; this system can be applied to product identification in further biotransformations. Overall, CYP109Q5 proved to be highly evolvable and active. The studies in this work demonstrate that, using rational mutagenesis, the highly versatile CYP109Q5 generalist can be progressively evolved to be an industrially valuable specialist for the synthesis of specific products.

Abstract
Bacterial cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are promising biocatalysts for chemical syntheses because they catalyze a variety of oxidations on non-activated hydrocarbons using O2 . However, the requirement of two auxiliary proteins, an electron transfer protein and a reductase, for the catalysis is a major bottleneck for in vitro applications of these monooxygenases. The authors previous study showed that artificial assembly of a bacterial P450 with its auxiliary proteins using a heterotrimeric proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) from Sulfolobus solfataricus yields a self-sufficient P450, but partial dissociation of P450 from the complex at catalytic concentrations reduces the apparent specific activity of this self-sufficient P450. In this study, a Metallosphaera sedula PCNA is used, which is currently the most stable heterotrimeric PCNA, to assemble a bacterial P450 with its auxiliary proteins at submicromolar protein concentrations. The apparent specific monooxygenase activity of the M. sedula PCNA-assembled P450 with auxiliary proteins is saturated at protein concentrations of 40 nM, and is 2.1-fold higher than that of the S. solfataricus PCNA-assembled P450. Therefore, M. sedula PCNA represents a versatile tool to facilitate multiple enzymatic reactions, including the P450 monooxygenase system.

Abstract
Previous studies on cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP) from family 154 reported their substrate promiscuity and high activity. Hence, herein, the uncharacterized family member CYP154F1 is described. Screening of more than 100 organic compounds revealed that CYP154F1 preferably accepts small linear molecules with a carbon chain length of 8-10 atoms. In contrast to thoroughly characterized CYP154E1, CYP154F1 has a much narrower substrate spectrum and lower activity. A structural alignment of homology models of CYP154F1 and CYP154E1 revealed few differences in the active sites of both family members. By gradual mutagenesis of the CYP154F1 active site towards those of CYP154E1, a key residue accounting for the different activities of both enzymes was identified at position 234. Substitution of T234 for large hydrophobic amino acids led to up to tenfold higher conversion rates of small substrates, such as geraniol. Replacement of T234 by small hydrophobic amino acids, valine or alanine, resulted in mutants with extended substrate spectra. These mutants are able to convert some of the larger substrates of CYP154E1, such as (E)-stilbene and (+)-nootkatone.

Abstract
Sugar O-methylation shields algal polysaccharides against microbial hydrolytic enzymes. Here, we describe cytochrome P450 monooxygenases from marine bacteria that, together with appropriate redox-partner proteins, catalyze the oxidative demethylation of 6-O-methyl-D-galactose, which is an abundant monosaccharide of the algal polysaccharides agarose and porphyran. This previously unknown biological function extends the group of carbohydrate-active enzymes to include the class of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases.

Abstract
Most bacterial cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s or CYPs) require two redox partner proteins for activity. To reduce complexity of the redox chain, the Bacillus subtilis flavodoxin YkuN (Y) was fused to the Escherichia coli flavodoxin reductase Fpr (R), and activity was tuned by placing flexible (GGGGS)n or rigid ([E/L]PPPP)n linkers (n = 1–5) in between. P-linker constructs typically outperformed their G-linker counterparts, with superior performance of YR-P5, which carries linker ([E/L]PPPP)5. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that ([E/L]PPPP)n linkers are intrinsically rigid, whereas (GGGGS)n linkers are highly flexible and biochemical experiments suggest a higher degree of separation between the fusion partners in case of long rigid P-linkers. The catalytic properties of the individual redox partners were best preserved in the YR-P5 construct. In comparison to the separate redox partners, YR-P5 exhibited attenuated rates of NADPH oxidation and heme iron (III) reduction, while coupling efficiency was improved (28% vs. 49% coupling with B. subtilis CYP109B1, and 44% vs. 50% with Thermobifida fusca CYP154E1). In addition, YR-P5 supported monooxygenase activity of the CYP106A2 from Bacillus megaterium and bovine CYP21A2. The versatile YR-P5 may serve as a non-physiological electron transfer system for exploitation of the catalytic potential of other P450s.

Abstract
A combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM, QM = UB3LYP-D3, MM = AMBER) method is used to study the hydrogen abstraction reaction in P450cam catalyzed hydroxylation of camphor in the quartet state. Compared to QM/MM calculations in the literature, this study uses larger basis sets for the most important atoms at the active site and QM/MM Hessian harmonic frequency calculations to determine the standard Gibbs free energy of activation and kinetic isotope effect. The QM/MM covalent boundary is treated with a capping hydrogen atom method, which is simple and robust. An energy barrier of 21.3 kcal/mol and a standard free energy of activation of 16.8 kcal/mol are obtained for this hydrogen abstraction reaction. These values are similar to those reported in the literature, suggesting that when a general protocol is followed, QM/MM results are reproducible. It is found that using a sufficiently large basis set is important to minimize basis set errors.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes catalyze the insertion of oxygen into carbon-hydrogen bonds and have great potential for enzymatic synthesis. Application development of class I CYPs is hampered by their dependence on two redox partners (a ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase), slowing catalysis compared to self-sufficient CYPs such as CYP102A1 (P450BM3). Previous attempts to address this have fused all three components in several permutations and geometries, with much reduced activity compared to the native system. We report here the new approach of fusing putidaredoxin reductase (PdR) to the carboxy-terminus of CYP101A1 (P450cam) via a linker peptide and reconstituting camphor hydroxylase activity with free putidaredoxin (Pdx). Initial purification of a P450cam-PdR fusion yielded 2.0% heme incorporation. Co-expression of E. coli ferrochelatase, lengthening the linker from 5 to 20 residues, and altering culture conditions for enzyme production furnished 85% heme content. Fusion co-expression with Pdx gave a functional system with comparable in vivo camphor oxidation activity as the native system. In vitro, the fused system's steady state NADH oxidation rate was two-fold faster than that of the native system. In contrast to the native system, NADH oxidation rates for the fusion enzyme showed non-hyperbolic dependence on Pdx concentration, suggesting a role for the PdR domain; these data were consistent with a kinetic model based on two-site binding of Pdx by P450cam-PdR and inactive dimer formation of the fusion. P450cam-PdR is the first example of a class I P450 fusion that exhibits significantly more favorable behavior than that of the native system.

Abstract
Streptomyces peucetius ATCC27952 contains the cytochrome P450 monoxygenase DoxA that is responsible for the hydroxylation of daunorubicin into doxorubicin. Although S. peucetius ATCC27952 contains several potential redox partners, the most suitable endogenous electron-transport system is still unclear; therefore, we conducted a study of potential redox partners using Accelrys Discovery Studio 3.5. Recombinant DoxA along with its redox partners from S. peucetius FDX1, FDR2, and FDX3, and the putidaredoxin and putidaredoxin reductase from Pseudomonas putida that are essential equivalents of the class I type of bacterial electron-transport system were over-expressed and purified. The successful development of an efficient redox system was achieved by an in vitro enzymatic catalysis reaction with DoxA. The optimal pH for the activation of the heme was 7.6 and the optimal temperature was 30 °C. Our findings suggest a two-fold increase of DoxA activity via the NADH → FDR2 → FDX1 → DoxA pathway for the hydroxylation of the daunorubicin, and indicate that the usage of a native redox partner may increase daunorubicin-derived doxorubicin production due to the inclusion of DoxA.

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
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
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.

Abstract
Background (+)-Nootkatone (4) is a high added-value compound found in grapefruit juice. Allylic oxidation of the sesquiterpene (+)-valencene (1) provides an attractive route to this sought-after flavoring. So far, chemical methods to produce (+)-nootkatone (4) from (+)-valencene (1) involve unsafe toxic compounds, whereas several biotechnological approaches applied yield large amounts of undesirable byproducts. In the present work 125 cytochrome P450 enzymes from bacteria were tested for regioselective oxidation of (+)-valencene (1) at allylic C2-position to produce (+)-nootkatone (4) via cis- (2) or trans-nootkatol (3). The P450 activity was supported by the co-expression of putidaredoxin reductase (PdR) and putidaredoxin (Pdx) from Pseudomonas putida in Escherichia coli. Results Addressing the whole-cell system, the cytochrome CYP109B1 from Bacillus subtilis was found to catalyze the oxidation of (+)-valencene (1) yielding nootkatol (2 and 3) and (+)-nootkatone (4). However, when the in vivo biooxidation of (+)-valencene (1) with CYP109B1 was carried out in an aqueous milieu, a number of undesired multi-oxygenated products has also been observed accounting for approximately 35% of the total product. The formation of these byproducts was significantly reduced when aqueous-organic two-liquid-phase systems with four water immiscible organic solvents – isooctane, n-octane, dodecane or hexadecane – were set up, resulting in accumulation of nootkatol (2 and 3) and (+)-nootkatone (4) of up to 97% of the total product. The best productivity of 120 mg l-1 of desired products was achieved within 8 h in the system comprising 10% dodecane. Conclusion This study demonstrates that the identification of new P450s capable of producing valuable compounds can basically be achieved by screening of recombinant P450 libraries. The biphasic reaction system described in this work presents an attractive way for the production of (+)-nootkatone (4), as it is safe and can easily be controlled and scaled up.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are powerful biocatalysts that have the ability to oxidize a broad range of substrates, often at non-reactive carbon centers. However, incorporation of P450s into synthetic schemes has so far been limited to a few whole-cell transformations. P450 substrates are often hydrophobic and have low water solubility, limiting the amount of product that can be produced. To help overcome this limitation, we have examined P450cam activity in two-phase hexane/water emulsions with and without the anionic surfactant, bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT). Hydroxylation of camphor to hydroxycamphor by the three- component P450cam system was chosen as the model reaction, and regeneration of NADH was accomplished with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (YADH). P450cam was activated in the surfactant-free emulsions, and addition of AOT improved the activity even further, at least over the range of camphor concentrations for which initial rates were readily measurable in all media. The largest observed rate enhancement was 4.5-fold. Nearly 50-times more product was formed in the surfactant-stabilized emulsions than was achieved in aqueous buffer, with total turnover numbers reaching 28,900 for P450cam and 11,800 for YADH. In the absence of surfactant, the two-phase reaction appeared to be mass-transfer limited, while inclusion of AOT alleviated transport limitations and/or afforded a larger interfacial area for P450 activation. The oxidation of hydroxycamphor to 2,5-diketocamphane was also observed, owing to the large concentration of hydroxycamphor relative to camphor in the aqueous phase of the two-phase emulsion. This competing reaction was accompanied by the uncoupled oxidation of NADH (i.e., NADH oxidation without formation of 2,5-diketocamphane), which reduced the availability of NADH for camphor oxidation and further limited the yield of hydroxycamphor in the two-phase emulsions. These results indicate that a surfactant-stabilized two-phase emulsion is a promising reaction medium for practical P450 biocatalysis, although its effectiveness for a given P450/substrate combination can depend on several factors, including competitive or sequential reactions, product inhibition, and NAD(P)H uncoupling.

Abstract
A Thr (or Ser) residue on the I-helix is a highly conserved structural feature of cytochrome P450 enzymes. It is believed to be indispensable as a proton delivery shuttle in the oxygen activation process. Previous work showed that P450(cin) (CYP176A1), which contains an Asn instead of the conserved Thr, is fully functional in the catalytic oxidation of cineole [D.B. Hawkes, G.W. Adams, A.L. Burlingame, P.R. Ortiz de Montellano, J.J. De Voss, J. Biol. Chem. 277 (2002) 27725-27732]. To determine whether the substitution of Asn for Thr is specific or general, the conserved Thr252 in P450(cam) (CYP101) was mutated to generate the T252N, T252N/V253T, and T252A mutants. Steady-state kinetic analysis of the oxidation of camphor by these mutants indicated that the T252N and T252N/V253T mutants have comparable turnover numbers but higher K(m) values relative to the wild-type enzyme. Spectroscopic binding assays indicate that the higher K(m) values reflect a decrease in the camphor binding affinity. Non-productive H(2)O(2) generation was negligible with the T252N and T252N/V253T mutants, but, as previously observed, was dominant in the T252A mutant. Our results, and a structure model based on the crystal structures of the ferrous dioxygen complexes of P450(cam) and its T252A mutant, suggest that Asn252 can stabilize the ferric hydroperoxy intermediate, preventing premature release of H(2)O(2) and enabling addition of the second proton to the distal oxygen to generate the catalytic ferryl species.

Abstract
The fundamental nature of reactivity in cytochrome P450 enzymes is currently controversial. Modelling of bacterial P450cam has suggested an important role for the haem propionates in the catalysis, though this finding has been questioned. Understanding the mechanisms of this enzyme family is important both in terms of basic biochemistry and potentially in the prediction of drug metabolism. We have modelled the hydroxylation of camphor by P450cam, using combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methods. A set of reaction pathways in the enzyme was determined. We were able to pinpoint the source of the discrepancies in the previous results. We show that when a correct ionization state is assigned to Asp297, no spin density appears on the haem propionates and the protein structure in this region remains preserved. These results indicate that the haem propionates are not involved in catalysis.

Abstract
The single turnover of (1R)(+)-camphor-bound oxyferrous cytochrome P450-CAM with one equivalent of dithionite-reduced putidaredoxin (Pdx) was monitored for the appearance of transient intermediates at 3 degrees C by double mixing rapid scanning stopped-flow spectroscopy. With excess camphor, three successive species were observed after generating oxyferrous P450-CAM and reacting versus reduced Pdx: a perturbed oxyferrous derivative, a species that was a mixture of high and low spin Fe(III), and high spin ferric camphor-bound enzyme. The rates of the first two steps, approximately 140 and approximately 85 s(-1), were assigned to formation of the perturbed oxyferrous intermediate and to electron transfer from reduced Pdx, respectively. In the presence of stoichiometric substrate, three phases with similar rates were seen even though the final state is low spin ferric P450-CAM. This is consistent with substrate being hydroxylated during the reaction. The single turnover reaction initiated by adding dioxygen to a preformed reduced P450-CAM.Pdx complex with excess camphor also led to phases with similar rates. It is proposed that formation of the perturbed oxyferrous intermediate reflects alteration of H-bonding to the proximal Cys, increasing the reduction potential of the oxyferrous state and triggering electron transfer from reduced Pdx. This species may be a direct spectral signature of the effector role of Pdx on P450-CAM reactivity (i.e. during catalysis). The substrate-free oxyferrous enzyme also reacted readily with reduced Pdx, showing that the inability of substrate-free P450-CAM to accept electrons from reduced Pdx and function as an NADH oxidase is completely due to the incapacity of reduced Pdx to deliver the first but not the second electron.

Abstract
A new homology model of bovine cytochrome P450scc is obtained starting from the recently determined crystal structure of mammalian cytochrome P450 2B4. The new emerging structure appears compatible with recent diffraction patterns of bovine P450scc microcrystals as obtained at the Microfocus Beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation in Grenoble and here reported for the first time. The same atomic structure is utilized thereby to predict the mutations needed for modifying redox potential. A comprehensive comparison is finally carried out with the previous model present in the RCSB Protein DataBank also in terms of the alternative mutations being predicted for the same functional modification. The implication of these studies for optimal sensor construction is discussed.

Abstract
Interaction and electron transfer between putidaredoxin reductase (Pdr) and putidaredoxin (Pdx) from Pseudomonas putida was studied by molecular modeling, mutagenesis, and stopped flow techniques. Based on the crystal structures of Pdr and Pdx, a complex between the proteins was generated using computer graphics methods. In the model, Pdx is docked above the isoalloxazine ring of FAD of Pdr with the distance between the flavin and [2Fe-2S] of 14.6 A. This mode of interaction allows Pdx to easily adjust and optimize orientation of its cofactor relative to Pdr. The key residues of Pdx located at the center, Asp(38) and Trp(106), and at the edge of the protein-protein interface, Tyr(33) and Arg(66), were mutated to test the Pdr-Pdx computer model. The Y33F, Y33A, D38N, D38A, R66A, R66E, W106F, W106A, and Delta106 mutations did not affect assembly of the [2Fe-2S] cluster and resulted in a marginal change in the redox potential of Pdx. The electron-accepting ability of Delta106 Pdx was similar to that of the wild-type protein, whereas electron transfer rates from Pdr to other mutants were diminished to various degrees with the smallest and largest effects on the kinetic parameters of the Pdr-to-Pdx electron transfer reaction caused by the Trp(106) and Tyr(33)/Arg(66) substitutions, respectively. Compared with wild-type Pdx, the binding affinity of all studied mutants to Pdr was significantly higher. Experimental results were in agreement with theoretical predictions and suggest that: (i) Pdr-Pdx complex formation is mainly driven by steric complementarity, (ii) bulky side chains of Tyr(33), Arg(66), and Trp(106) prevent tight binding of oxidized Pdx and facilitate dissociation of the reduced iron-sulfur protein from Pdr, and (iii) transfer of an electron from FAD to [2Fe-2S] can occur with various orientations between the cofactors through multiple electron transfer pathways that do not involve Trp(106) but are likely to include Asp(38) and Cys(39).
