Abstract
When subjected to γ-irradiation at cryogenic temperatures the oxygenated complexes of Cytochrome P450 CYP17A1 (CYP17A1) bound with either of the lyase substrates, 17α-Hydroxypregnenolone (17-OH PREG) or 17α-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OH PROG) are shown to generate the corresponding lyase products, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione (AD) respectively. The current study uses gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to document the presence of the initial substrates and products in extracts of the processed samples. A rapid and efficient method for the simultaneous determination of residual substrate and products by GC/MS is described without derivatization of the products. It is also shown that no lyase products were detected for similarly treated control samples containing no nanodisc associated CYP17 enzyme, demonstrating that the product is formed during the enzymatic reaction and not by GC/MS conditions, nor the conditions produced by the cryoradiolysis process.

Abstract
Most cytochrome P450 (P450) oxidations are considered to occur with the active oxidant being a perferryl oxygen (FeO3+, Compound I). However, a ferric peroxide (FeO2®, Compound 0) mechanism has been proposed, as well, particularly for aldehyde substrates. We investigated three of these systems, the oxidative deformylation of the model substrates citronellal, 2-phenylpropionaldehyde, and 2-methyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde by rabbit P450 2B4, using 18O labeling. The formic acid product contained one 18O derived from 18O2, which is indicative of a dominant Compound 0 mechanism. The formic acid also contained only one 18O derived from H218O, which ruled out a Compound I mechanism. The possibility of a Baeyer-Villiger reaction was examined by using synthesized possible intermediates, but our data do not support its presence. Overall, these findings unambiguously demonstrate the role of the Compound 0 pathway in these aldehyde oxidative deformylation reactions.

Abstract
This Reflection article begins with my family background and traces my career through elementary and high school, followed by time at the University of Illinois, Vanderbilt University, the University of Michigan, and then for 98 semesters as a Vanderbilt University faculty member. My research career has dealt with aspects of cytochrome P450 enzymes, and the basic biochemistry has had applications in fields as diverse as drug metabolism, toxicology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacogenetics, biological engineering, and bioremediation. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the Journal of Biological Chemistry not only as an author but also for 34 years as an Editorial Board Member, Associate Editor, Deputy Editor, and interim Editor-in-Chief. Thanks are extended to my family and my mentors, particularly Profs. Harry Broquist and Minor J. Coon, and the more than 170 people who have trained with me. I have never lost the enthusiasm for research that I learned in the summer of 1968 with Harry Broquist, and I have tried to instill this in the many trainees I have worked with. A sentence I use on closing slides is "It's not just a laboratory-it's a fraternity."

Abstract
Abiraterone acetate (AbirAc) is the most used steroidal therapeutic agent for treatment of prostate cancer. The mainly hydrophobic molecular surface of AbirAc results in its poor solubility and plays an important role for retention of abiraterone in the cavity of the receptor formed by peptide chains and heme fragments. In order to evaluate the hydrolytic stability of AbirAc, to modify its solubility by formation of new solid forms and to model bonding of this medication with the heme, a series of d-metal complexes with AbirAc was obtained. AbirAc remains stable in water, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and ethanol, and readily interacts with dications as a terminal ligand to create discrete complexes, including [FePC(AbirAc)2] and [ZnTPP(AbirAc)] (H2PC = phthalocyanine and H2TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrine) models for ligand-receptor bonding. In reactions with silver(I) nitrate, AbirAc acts as a bridge ligand. Energies of chemical bonding between AbirAc and these cations vary from 97 to 235 kJ mol-1 and exceed those between metal atoms and water molecules. This can be indicative of the ability of abiraterone to replace solvent molecules in the coordination sphere of biometals in living cells, although the model [ZnTPP] complex remains stable in CDCl3, CD2Cl2, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane-d2 solvents and decomposes in polar dimethylsulfoxide-d6 and methanol-d4 solvents, as follows from the 1H DOSY spectra. Dynamics of its behavior in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane-d2 were studied by ROESY and NMR spectra.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450) 17A1 plays a key role in steroidogenesis, in that this enzyme catalyzes the 17α-hydroxylation of both pregnenolone and progesterone, followed by a lyase reaction to cleave the C-20 land C-21 carbons from each steroid. The reactions are important in the production of both glucocorticoids and androgens. The enzyme is critical in humans but is also a drug target in treatment of prostate cancer. Detailed methods are described for the heterologous expression of human P450 17A1 in bacteria, purification of the recombinant enzyme, reconstitution of the enzyme system in the presence of cytochrome b5, and chromatographic procedures for sensitive analyses of reaction products. Historic assay approaches are reviewed. Some information is also provided about outstanding questions in the research field, including catalytic mechanisms and searches for selective inhibitors.

Abstract
Steroidal resource occupies a vital proportion in the pharmaceutical industry attributing to their important therapeutic effects on fertility, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. Currently, microbial transformation from phytosterol has become the dominant strategy of steroidal drug intermediate synthesis that bypasses the traditional chemical route. Mycobacterium sp. serve as the main industrial microbial strains that are capable of introducing selective functional modifications of steroidal intermediate, which has become an indispensable platform for steroid biomanufacturing. By reviewing the progress in past two decades, the present paper concentrates mainly on the microbial rational modification aspects that include metabolic pathway editing, key enzymes engineering, material transport pathway reinforcement, toxic metabolic intermediates removal and byproduct reconciliation. In addition, progress on omics analysis and direct genetic manipulation are summarized and classified that may help reform the industrial hosts with more efficiency. The paper provides an insightful present for steroid biomanufacturing especially on the current trends and prospects of mycobacteria.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most harmful heavy metals due to its persistence and bioaccumulation through the food chains, posing health risks to human. Oysters can bioaccumulate and tolerate high concentrations of Cd, providing a great model for studying molecular mechanism of Cd detoxification. In a previous study, we identified two CYP genes, CYP17A1-like and CYP2C50, that were potentially involved in Cd detoxification in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas. In this work, we performed further investigations on their physiological roles in Cd detoxification through RNA interference (RNAi). After injection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into the adductor muscle of oysters followed by Cd exposure for 7 days, we observed that the expressions of CYP17A1-like and CYP2C50 in interference group were significantly suppressed on day 3 compared with control group injected with PBS. Moreover, the mortality rate and Cd content in the CYP17A1-like dsRNA interference group (dsCYP17A1-like) was significantly higher than those of the control on day 3. Furthermore, the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including SOD, CAT, GST, were significantly increased in dsCYP17A1-like group, while were not changed in dsCYP2C50 group. More significant tissue damage was observed in gill and digestive gland of oysters in RNAi group than control group, demonstrating the critical role of CYP17A1-like in Cd detoxification. Dual luciferase reporter assay revealed three core regulatory elements of MTF-1 within promoter region of CYP17A1-like, suggesting the potential transcriptional regulation of CYP17A1-like by MTF-1 in oysters. This work demonstrated a critical role of CYP17A1-like in Cd detoxification in C. gigas and provided a new perspective toward unravelling detoxification mechanisms of bivalves under heavy metal stress.

Abstract
In this article we aim to provide an overview of the zebrafish interrenal development and function, as well as a review of its contribution to basic and translational research. A search of the PubMed database identified 41 relevant papers published over the last 20 years. Based on the common themes identified, we discuss the organogenesis of the interrenal gland and its functional development and we review what is known about the genes involved in zebrafish steroidogenesis. We also outline the consequences of specific defects in steroid biosynthesis, as revealed by evidence from genetically engineered zebrafish models, including cyp11a2, cyp21a2, hsd3b1, cyp11c1 and fdx1b deficiency. Finally, we summarise the impact of different chemicals and environmental factors on steroidogenesis. Our review highlights the utility of zebrafish as a research model for exploring important areas of basic science and human disease, especially in the current context of rapid technological progress in the field of Molecular Biology.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1) is a critical steroidogenic enzyme, essential for producing glucocorticoids and sex hormones. This review discusses the complex activity of CYP17A1, looking at its role in both the classical and backdoor steroidogenic pathways and the complex chemistry it carries out to perform both a hydroxylation reaction and a carbon-carbon cleavage, or lyase reaction. Functional and structural investigations have informed our knowledge of these two reactions. This review focuses on a few specific aspects of this discussion: the identities of reaction intermediates, the coordination of hydroxylation and lyase reactions, the effects of cytochrome b5, and conformational selection. These discussions improve understanding of CYP17A1 in a physiological setting, where CYP17A1 is implicated in a variety of steroidogenic diseases. This information can be used to improve ways in which CYP17A1 can be effectively modulated to treat diseases such as prostate and breast cancer, Cushing's syndrome, and glioblastoma.

Abstract
It has been recognized for >50 years that cytochrome b5 (b5) stimulates some cytochrome P450 (P450)–catalyzed oxidations, but the basis of this function is still not understood well. The strongest stimulation of catalytic activity by b5 is in the P450 17A1 lyase reaction, an essential step in androgen synthesis from 21-carbon (C21) steroids, making this an excellent model system to interrogate b5 function. One of the issues in studying b5–P450 interactions has been the limited solution assay methods. We constructed a fluorescently labeled variant of human b5 that can be used in titrations. The labeled b5 bound to WT P450 17A1 with a Kd of 2.5 nM and rapid kinetics, on the order of 1 s−1. Only weak binding was observed with the clinical P450 17A1 variants E305G, R347H, and R358Q; these mutants are deficient in lyase activity, which has been hypothesized to be due to attenuated b5 binding. Kd values were not affected by the presence of P450 17A1 substrates. A peptide containing the P450 17A1 Arg-347/Arg-358 region attenuated Alexa 488-T70C-b5 fluorescence at higher concentrations. The addition of NADPH–P450 reductase (POR) to an Alexa 488-T70C-b5:P450 17A1 complex resulted in a concentration-dependent partial restoration of b5 fluorescence, indicative of a ternary P450:b5:POR complex, which was also supported by gel filtration experiments. Overall, these results are interpreted in the context of a dynamic and tight P450 17A1:b5 complex that also binds POR to form a catalytically competent ternary complex, and variants that disrupt this interaction have low catalytic activity.

Abstract
A high-resolution single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of abiraterone acetate (1) has been carried out. The charge density distribution in the crystal of this anticancer drug is reconstructed from experimental data. The nature and the contributions of various intermolecular interactions to the total crystal energy are studied by means of the quantum theory `Atoms-in-Molecules', a non-covalent interactions method and energy framework plots. In general, dispersion C-H...H-C and C-H...π interactions play the main role in crystal packing of 1. The Voronoi tessellation analysis of 1 confirmed that contribution of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions to the molecular surface is close to their contribution to the total crystal energy. Similar analysis of abiraterone complexes with the cytochrome P450 family demonstrated that contribution of the C-H...H-C and C-H...π interactions to the molecular surface of the drug remains unchanged to fit the binding pocket, despite the presence of water and heme molecules, and hydrophilic groups within the pocket.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are important enzymes in the secondary metabolism of plants and have been recognized as key players in bioengineering and synthetic biology. Previously reported CYP76AH1 and CYP76AH3, having greater than 80% sequence homology, played a continuous catalytic role in the biosynthesis of tanshinones in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Homology modeling indicates that four sites might be responsible for differences in catalytic activity between the two enzymes. A series of modeling-based mutational variants of CYP76AH1 were designed to integrate the functions of the two CYPs. The mutant CYP76AH1D301E,V479F, which integrated the functions of CYP76AH1 and CYP76AH3, was found to efficiently catalyze C11 and C12 hydroxylation and C7 oxidation of miltiradiene substrates. Integration and utilization of CYP76AH1D301E,V479F by synthetic biology methods allowed the robust production of 11-hydroxy ferruginol, sugiol, and 11-hydroxy sugiol in yeast. The functionally integrated CYP gene after active site modifications improves catalytic efficiency by reducing the transfer of intermediate metabolites between component proteins. This provides a synthetic biology reference for improving the catalytic efficiencies of systems that produce plant natural products in microorganisms.

Abstract
Orteronel (TAK-700) is a substituted imidazole that was developed for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer but was dropped in phase III clinical trials. Both enantiomers of this inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (P450) 17A1 show some selectivity in differentially blocking the 17α-hydroxylation and lyase activities of the enzyme. Although both enantiomers of this compound have sub-micromolar IC50 values and bind to the enzyme with a type II spectral change (indicative of nitrogen-iron bonding) and reported Kd values of 56 and 40 nM (R and S, respectively), the rates of binding to P450 17A1 were relatively slow. We considered the possibility that the drug is a slow, tight-binding inhibitor. Analysis of the kinetics of binding revealed rapid formation of an initial complex, presumably in the substrate binding site, followed by a slower change to the spectrum of a final iron complex. Similar kinetics were observed in the interaction of another inhibitor, the triazole (S)-seviteronel (VT-464), with P450 17A1. Kinetic tests and modeling indicate that the further change to the iron-complexed form of the orteronel- or seviteronel-P450 complex is not a prerequisite for enzyme inhibition. Accordingly, the inclusion of heme-binding heterocyclic nitrogen moieties in P450 17A1 inhibitors may not be necessary to achieve inhibition but may nevertheless augment the process.

Abstract
CYP51 enzymes (sterol 14α-demethylases) are cytochromes P450 that catalyze multistep reactions. The CYP51 reaction occurs in all biological kingdoms and is essential in sterol biosynthesis. It removes the 14α-methyl group from cyclized sterol precursors by first forming an alcohol, then an aldehyde, and finally eliminating formic acid with the introduction of a Δ14-15 double bond in the sterol core. The first two steps are typical hydroxylations, mediated by an electrophilic compound I mechanism. The third step, C-C bond cleavage, has been proposed to involve either compound I (i.e. FeO3 +) or, alternatively, a proton transfer-independent nucleophilic ferric peroxo anion (compound 0, i.e. Fe3 +O2 -). Here, using comparative crystallographic and biochemical analyses of WT human CYP51 (CYP51A1) and its D231A/H314A mutant, whose proton delivery network is destroyed (as evidenced in a 1.98-Å X-ray structure in complex with lanosterol), we demonstrate that deformylation of the 14α-carboxaldehyde intermediate requires an active proton relay network to drive the catalysis. These results indicate a unified, compound I-based mechanism for all three steps of the CYP51 reaction, as previously established for CYP11A1 and CYP19A1. We anticipate that our approach can be applied to mechanistic studies of other P450s that catalyze multistep reactions, such as C-C bond cleavage.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes have long been of interest due to their roles in the metabolism of drugs, pesticides, pro-carcinogens, and other xenobiotic chemicals. They have also been of interest due to their very critical roles in the biosynthesis and metabolism of steroids, vitamins, and certain eicosanoids. This review covers the 22 (of the total of 57) human P450s in Families 5-51 and their substrate selectivity. Furthermore, included is information and references regarding inducibility, inhibition, and (in some cases) stimulation by chemicals. We update and discuss important aspects of each of these 22 P450s and questions that remain open.

Abstract
The intermediates operating in the cytochrome P450 catalytic cycle have been investigated for more than half a century, fascinating many enzymologists. Each intermediate has its unique role to carry out diverse oxidations. Natural time course of the catalytic cycle is quite fast, hence, not all of the reactive intermediates could be isolated during physiological catalysis. Different high-valent iron intermediates have been proposed as primary oxidants: the candidates are compound 0 (Cpd 0, [FeOOH][Formula: see text]P450) and compound I (Cpd I, Fe(IV)[Formula: see text]O por[Formula: see text]P450). Among them, the role of Cpd I in hydroxylation is fairly well understood due the discovery of the peroxide shunt. This review endeavors to put the outstanding research efforts conducted to isolate and characterize the intermediates together. In addition to spectral features of each intermediate in the catalytic cycle, the oxidizing powers of Cpd 0 and Cpd I will be discussed along with most recent scientific findings.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes are the major catalysts involved in the oxidation of steroids as well as many other compounds. Their versatility has been explained in part by flexibility of the proteins and complexity of the binding mechanisms. However, whether these proteins bind their substrates via induced fit or conformational selection is not understood. P450 17A1 has a major role in steroidogenesis, catalyzing the two-step oxidations of progesterone and pregnenolone to androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone, respectively, via 17α-hydroxy (OH) intermediates. We examined the interaction of P450 17A1 with its steroid substrates by analyzing progress curves (UV-visible spectroscopy), revealing that the rates of binding of any of these substrates decreased with increasing substrate concentration, a hallmark of conformational selection. Further, when the concentration of 17α-OH pregnenolone was held constant and the P450 concentration increased, the binding rate increased, and such opposite patterns are also diagnostic of conformational selection. Kinetic simulation modeling was also more consistent with conformational selection than with an induced-fit mechanism. Cytochrome b 5 partially enhances P450 17A1 lyase activity by altering the P450 17A1 conformation but did not measurably alter the binding of 17α-OH pregnenolone or 17α-OH progesterone, as judged by the apparent Kd and binding kinetics. The P450 17A1 inhibitor abiraterone also bound to P450 17A1 in a multistep manner, and modeling indicated that the selective inhibition of the two P450 17A1 steps by the drug orteronel can be rationalized only by a multiple-conformation model. In conclusion, P450 17A1 binds its steroid substrates via conformational selection.

Abstract
Hydroperoxides are a small and interesting group of biologically active natural marine compounds. All these metabolites contain a group (R-O-O-H). In this mini-review, studies of more than 80 hydroperoxides isolated from bacteria, fungi, algae, and marine invertebrates are described. Hydroperoxides from the red, brown, and green algae exhibit high antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory, and antiprotozoal activity with a confidence of 73 to 94%. Hydroperoxides produced by soft corals showed antineoplastic and antiprotozoal activity with confidence from 81 to 92%. Metabolites derived from sea sponges, mollusks, and other invertebrates showed antineoplastic and antiprotozoal (Plasmodium) activity with confidence from 80 to 90%.

Abstract
Enzymes are complex biological catalysts and are critical to life. Most oxidations of chemicals are catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes, which generally utilize mixed-function oxidase stoichiometry, utilizing pyridine nucleotides as electron donors: NAD(P)H + O2 + R → NAD(P)+ + RO + H2O (where R is a carbon substrate and RO is an oxidized product). The catalysis of oxidations is largely understood in the context of the heme iron-oxygen complex generally referred to as Compound I, formally FeO3+, whose basis was in peroxidase chemistry. Many X-ray crystal structures of P450s are now available (≥ 822 structures from ≥146 different P450s) and have helped in understanding catalytic specificity. In addition to hydroxylations, P450s catalyze more complex oxidations, including C-C bond formation and cleavage. Enzymes derived from P450s by directed evolution can even catalyze more unusual reactions, e.g. cyclopropanation. Current P450 questions under investigation include the potential role of the intermediate Compound 0 (formally FeIII-O2 -) in catalysis of some reactions, the roles of high- and low-spin forms of Compound I, the mechanism of desaturation, the roles of open and closed structures of P450s in catalysis, the extent of processivity in multi-step oxidations, and the role of the accessory protein cytochrome b 5. More global questions include exactly how structure drives function, prediction of catalysis, and roles of multiple protein conformations.

Abstract
Many oxidation-reduction (redox) enzymes, particularly oxygenases, have roles in reactions that make and break C-C bonds. The list includes cytochrome P450 and other heme-based monooxygenases, heme-based dioxygenases, nonheme iron mono- and dioxygenases, flavoproteins, radical S-adenosylmethionine enzymes, copper enzymes, and peroxidases. Reactions involve steroids, intermediary metabolism, secondary natural products, drugs, and industrial and agricultural chemicals. Many C-C bonds are formed via either (i) coupling of diradicals or (ii) generation of unstable products that rearrange. C-C cleavage reactions involve several themes: (i) rearrangement of unstable oxidized products produced by the enzymes, (ii) oxidation and collapse of radicals or cations via rearrangement, (iii) oxygenation to yield products that are readily hydrolyzed by other enzymes, and (iv) activation of O2 in systems in which the binding of a substrate facilitates O2 activation. Many of the enzymes involve metals, but of these, iron is clearly predominant.
