Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are key enzymes involved in drug and xenobiotic metabolism. A wide array of in vitro methodologies, including recombinant sources, are currently been used to assess CYP catalysis, to identify the metabolic profile of compounds, potential drug-drug interactions, protein-protein interactions in the CYP enzyme complex and the role of polymorphic enzymes. We report here on a bacterial whole-cells high-throughput method for the activity evaluation of human CYP1A2, 2A6, and 3A4, when sustained by NADPH cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CPR), in the absence or presence of cytochrome b5 (CYB5). This new assay consists of a microplate real-time fluorometric method, with direct measurement of metabolite formation, in a suspension of Escherichia coli BTC-CYP bacteria, a human CYP competent tester strain when incubated with specific fluorogenic substrates. Overall, the maximum turnover (kcat) velocities of the three human CYPs resulting from the whole-BTC cells assays were similar to those obtained when applying the corresponding standard reference membrane fractions assays. CYP activity screening with co-expression of CYB5 suggests an enhancing effect of CYB5 on the kcat of specific isoforms, when using the whole-BTC cells assay. Our results demonstrate that this new approach can offer an efficient high-throughput method for screening of CYP1A2, 2A6 and 3A4 activity and can be potentially applicable for other human CYPs. This can be of particular use for timely and efficient screening of chemical libraries or mutant libraries of CYP enzyme complex proteins, without the necessity for labor intensive isolation of subcellular fractions.

Abstract
Ethoxyresorufin is a classical substrate for vertebrate CYP1A enzymes. In Pterygoplichthys sp. (Loricariidae) this enzyme possesses 48 amino acids substitutions compared to CYP1A sequences from other vertebrate species. These substitutions or a certain subset substitution are responsible for the non-detection of the EROD reaction in this species liver microsomes. In the present study, we investigated the catalytic activity of Pterygoplichthys sp. CYP1A toward 15 potential substrates in order to understand the substrate preferences of this modified CYP1A. The fish gene was expressed in yeast and the accumulation of the protein was confirmed by both the characteristic P450-CO absorbance spectra and by detection with monoclonal antibodies. Catalytic activities were assayed with yeast microsomes and four resorufin ethers, six coumarin derivates, three flavones, resveratrol and ethoxyfluoresceinethylester. Results demonstrated that the initial velocity pattern of this enzyme for the resorufin derivatives is different from the one described for most vertebrate CYP1As. The initial velocity for the activity with the coumarin derivatives is several orders of magnitude higher than with the resorufins, i.e. the turnover number (kcat) for ECOD is 400× higher than for EROD. Nonetheless, the specificity constant (kcat/km) for EROD is only slightly higher than for ECOD. EFEE is degraded at a rate comparable to the resorufins. Pterygoplichthys sp. CYP1A also degrades 7-methoxyflavone and β-naphthoflavone but not resveratrol and chrysin. These results indicate a divergent substrate preference for Pterygoplichthys sp. CYP1A, which may be involved in the adaptation of Loricariidae fish to their particular environment and feeding habits.

High-throughput functional screening of steroid substrates with wild-type and chimeric P450 enzymes. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:764102.

Abstract
The promiscuity of a collection of enzymes consisting of 31 wild-type and synthetic variants of CYP1A enzymes was evaluated using a series of 14 steroids and 2 steroid-like chemicals, namely, nootkatone, a terpenoid, and mifepristone, a drug. For each enzyme-substrate couple, the initial steady-state velocity of metabolite formation was determined at a substrate saturating concentration. For that, a high-throughput approach was designed involving automatized incubations in 96-well microplate with sixteen 6-point kinetics per microplate and data acquisition using LC/MS system accepting 96-well microplate for injections. The resulting dataset was used for multivariate statistics aimed at sorting out the correlations existing between tested enzyme variants and ability to metabolize steroid substrates. Functional classifications of both CYP1A enzyme variants and steroid substrate structures were obtained allowing the delineation of global structural features for both substrate recognition and regioselectivity of oxidation.

Abstract
Combinatorial libraries coding for mosaic enzymes with predefined crossover points constitute useful tools to address and model structure-function relationships and for functional optimization of enzymes based on multivariate statistics. The presented method, called sequence-independent generation of a chimera-ordered library (SIGNAL), allows easy shuffling of any predefined amino acid segment between two or more proteins. This method is particularly well adapted to the exchange of protein structural modules. The procedure could also be well suited to generate ordered combinatorial libraries independent of sequence similarities in a robotized manner. Sequence segments to be recombined are first extracted by PCR from a single-stranded template coding for an enzyme of interest using a biotin-avidin-based method. This technique allows the reduction of parental template contamination in the final library. Specific PCR primers allow amplification of two complementary mosaic DNA fragments, overlapping in the region to be exchanged. Fragments are finally reassembled using a fusion PCR. The process is illustrated via the construction of a set of mosaic CYP2B enzymes using this highly modular approach.

Abstract
DNA family shuffling is a relatively new method of directed evolution used to create novel enzymes in order to improve their existing properties or to develop new features. This method of evolution in vitro has one basic requirement: a high similarity of initial parental sequences. Cytochrome P450 enzymes are relatively well conserved in their amino acid sequences. Members of the same family can have more than 40% of sequence identity at the protein level and are therefore good candidates for DNA family shuffling. These xenobiotic-metabolising enzymes have an ability to metabolise a wide range of chemicals and produce a variety of products including blue pigments such as indigo. By applying the specifically designed DNA family shuffling approach, catalytic properties of cytochrome P450 enzymes were further extended in the chimeric progeny to include a new range of blue colour formations. This mini-review evokes the possibility of exploiting directed evolution of cytochrome P450s and the novel enzymes created by DNA family shuffling for the production of new dyes.
