Abstract
Bemisia tabaci is a formidable insect pest worldwide, and it exhibits significant resistance to various insecticides. Dimpropyridaz is a novel pyridazine pyrazolecarboxamide insecticide used against sucking insect pests, but there is little information regarding its metabolic detoxification in arthropods or cross-resistance with other insecticides. In this study, we found that dimpropyridaz shows no cross-resistance with three other popular insecticides, namely abamectin, cyantraniliprole, and flupyradifurone. After treatment of B. tabaci adults with a high dose of dimpropyridaz, higher cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) activity was detected in the survivors, and the expression of the P450 gene CYP6DW4 was highly induced. Cloning and characterization of the full-length amino acid sequence of CYP6DW4 indicated that it contains conserved domains typical of P450 genes, phylogenetic analysis revealed that it was closely related to a B. tabaci protein, CYP6DW3, known to be involved in detoxification of imidacloprid. Silencing of CYP6DW4 by feeding insects with dsRNA significantly increased the susceptibility of B. tabaci to dimpropyridaz. In addition, homology modeling and molecular docking analyses showed the stable binding of dimpropyridaz to CYP6DW4, with binding free energy of -6.65 kcal/mol. Our findings indicate that CYP6DW4 plays an important role in detoxification of dimpropyridaz and possibly promotes development of resistance in B. tabaci.

Abstract
The oriental tobacco budworm Helicoverpa assulta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a specialist pest that may cause serious damages to important crops such as chili pepper and tobacco. Various man-made insecticides have been applied to control the infestation of this pest. To understand how this pest copes with insecticides, it is required to identify key players involved in insecticide transformation. In this study, a P450 gene of CYP6B subfamily was identified in the oriental tobacco budworm, and its expression pattern was revealed. Moreover, the activities of HassCYP6B6 against 12 insecticides were explored using recombinant enzymes produced in the facile Escherichia coli. Data from metabolic experiments showed that HassCYP6B6 was able to metabolize conventional insecticides including organophosporates (diazinon, malathion, phoxim), carbamate propoxur, and pyrethroid esfenvalerate, while no significant metabolism was observed towards new-type pesticides such as neonicotinoids (acetamiprid, imidacloprid), diamides (chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole), macrocyclic lactone (emamectin benzoate, ivermectin), and metaflumizone. Structures of metabolites were proposed based on mass spectrometry analyses. The results demonstrate that HassCYP6B6 plays important roles in the transformation of multiple insecticides via substrate-dependent catalytic mechanisms including dehydrogenation, hydroxylation and oxidative desulfurization. The findings have important applied implications for the usage of insecticides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isatropolone A and C, produced by Streptomyces sp. CPCC 204095, belong to an unusual class of non-benzenoid aromatic compounds and contain a rare seven-membered ring structure. Isatropolone A exhibits potent activity against Leishmania donovani, comparable to the only oral drug miltefosine. However, its variably low productivity represents a limitation for this lead compound in the future development of new anti-leishmaniasis drugs to meet unmet clinical needs. RESULTS Here we first elucidated the regulatory cascade of biosynthesis of isatropolones, which consists of two SARP family regulators, IsaF and IsaJ. Through a series of in vivo and in vitro experiments, IsaF was identified as a pathway-specific activator that orchestrates the transcription of the gene cluster essential for isatropolone biosynthesis. Interestingly, IsaJ was found to only upregulate the expression of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase IsaS, which is crucial for the yield and proportion of isatropolone A and C. Through targeted gene deletions of isaJ or isaS, we effectively impeded the conversion of isatropolone A to C. Concurrently, the facilitation of isaF overexpression governed by selected promoters, prompted the comprehensive activation of the production of isatropolone A. Furthermore, meticulous optimization of the fermentation parameters was conducted. These strategies culminated in the attainment of an unprecedented maximum yield-980.8 mg/L of isatropolone A-achieved in small-scale solid-state fermentation utilizing the genetically modified strains, thereby establishing the highest reported titer to date. CONCLUSION In Streptomyces sp. CPCC 204095, the production of isatropolone A and C is modulated by the SARP regulators IsaF and IsaJ. IsaF serves as a master pathway-specific regulator for the production of isatropolones. IsaJ, on the other hand, only dictates the transcription of IsaS, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of isatropolone A and C. By engineering the expression of these pivotal genes, we have devised a strategy for genetic modification aimed at the selective and high-yield biosynthesis of isatropolone A. This study not only unveils the unique regulatory mechanisms governing isatropolone biosynthesis for the first time, but also establishes an essential engineering framework for the targeted high-level production of isatropolone A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shortawn foxtail (Alopecurus aequalis Sobol.) is a noxious weed in China. The resistance of A. aequalis developed rapidly due to the long-term application of acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides. Here, a suspected mesosulfuron-methyl-resistant A. aequalis population, Aa-R, was collected from a wheat field in China. RESULTS A dose‒response test showed that the Aa-R population has evolved a high level of resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl, and its growth was suppressed by imazamox, pyroxsulam and bispyribac-sodium. ALS gene sequence analysis revealed that a known resistance-related mutation (Pro-197-Thr) was present in the Aa-R population. Moreover, ALS gene overexpression was detected in the Aa-R population. The mesosulfuron-methyl resistance could be reversed by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP450) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitors. In addition, enhanced metabolism of mesosulfuron-methyl was detected in the Aa-R population compared with the susceptible population. NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and GST activities were strongly inducible in the Aa-R population. One CYP450 gene, CYP74A2, and one GST gene, GST4, were constitutively upregulated in the Aa-R population. Molecular docking results showed the binding affinity of CYP74A2 and GST4 for the tested ALS-inhibiting herbicides, respectively. CONCLUSION This study confirmed that target-site resistance and non-target-site resistance involving CYP450 and GST were the main mechanisms involved in resistance in the mesosulfuron-methyl-resistant A. aequalis population.

Abstract
Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum) is a rare medicinal fungus with various beneficial properties. One of its main components, ganoderic acids (GAs), are important triterpenoids known for their sedative and analgesic, hepatoprotective, and anti-tumor activities. Understanding the growth and development of the G. lucidum fruiting body is crucial for determining the optimal time to harvest them. In this study, we used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to systematically characterize the metabolites of G. lucidum at seven distinct developmental stages. We also measured the contents of seven kinds of GAs using LC-MS/MS. A total of 49 metabolites were detected in G. lucidum, including amino acids, sugars, organic acids and GAs. During the transition from the bud development period (I) to the budding period (II), we observed a rapid accumulation of glucose, tyrosine, nicotinamide ribotide, inosine and GAs. After the budding period, the contents of most metabolites decreased until the mature period (VII). In addition, the contents of GAs showed an initial raising, followed by a decline during the elongation period, except for GAF, which exhibited a rapid raise during the mature stage. We also detected the expression of several genes involved in GA synthesis, finding that most genes including 16 cytochrome P450 monooxygenase were all down-regulated during periods IV and VII compared to period I. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamic metabolic profiles of G. lucidum throughout its growth stage, and it is recommended to harvest G. lucidum at period IV.

Abstract
Triterpenoids are among the most assorted class of specialized metabolites found in all the taxa of living organisms. Triterpenoids are the leading active ingredients sourced from plant species and are utilized in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The triterpenoid precursor 2,3-oxidosqualene, which is biosynthesized via the mevalonate (MVA) pathway is structurally diversified by the oxidosqualene cyclases (OSCs) and other scaffold-decorating enzymes such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s), UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) and acyltransferases (ATs). A majority of the bioactive triterpenoids are harvested from the native hosts using the traditional methods of extraction and occasionally semi-synthesized. These methods of supply are time-consuming and do not often align with sustainability goals. Recent advancements in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology have shown prospects for the green routes of triterpenoid pathway reconstruction in heterologous hosts such as Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Nicotiana benthamiana, which appear to be quite promising and might lead to the development of alternative source of triterpenoids. The present review describes the biotechnological strategies used to elucidate complex biosynthetic pathways and to understand their regulation and also discusses how the advances in triterpenoid pathway engineering might aid in the scale-up of triterpenoid production in engineered hosts.

Abstract
The excessive use of chemical herbicides has resulted in evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are vital detoxification enzymes for herbicide-resistant weeds. Herein, we confirmed a resistant (R) Polypogon fugax population showing resistance to quizalofop-p-ethyl, acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide pyroxsulam, and several other ACCase (acetyl-CoA carboxylase)-inhibiting herbicides. Molecular analysis revealed no target-site gene mutations in the R population. Foliar spraying with malathion clearly reversed the quizalofop-p-ethyl phytotoxicity. Higher level of quizalofop-p-ethyl degradation was confirmed in the R population using HPLC analysis. Subsequently, RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis indicated that the overexpression of CYP89A2 gene appeared to be responsible for reducing quizalofop-p-ethyl phytotoxicity. The molecular docking results supported a metabolic effect of CYP89A2 protein on most herbicides tested. Furthermore, we found that low doses of herbicides stimulated the rhizosphere enzyme activities in P. fugax and the increase of rhizosphere dehydrogenase of R population may be related to its resistance mechanism. In summary, our research has shown that metabolic herbicide resistance mediated by CYP89A2, contributes to quizalofop-p-ethyl resistance in P. fugax.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 98 (CYP98) is a critical rate-limiting enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway. One of the end-product of the phenylpropanoid pathway is a lignin monomer, although the occurrence of lignin in bryophytes is controversial. Here we investigated the functions of PpCYP98 in Physcomitrium patens by transcriptome and metabolome analyses. We identified 5266 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 68 differentially abundant secondary metabolites between wild-type and ΔPpCYP98 gametophores. Of the identified metabolites, 23 phenolic acids were identified, with only one showing upregulation. Among the phenolic acids, 4-coumaroyl tartaric acid and chlorogenic acid showed significant decreases. Declines were also observed in coniferylaldehyde and coniferin, precursor substances and downstream products of the lignin monomer coniferyl alcohol, respectively. Thus, the pre-lignin synthesis pathway already exists in bryophytes, and PpCYP98 plays vital roles in this pathway. Besides, most flavonoids show significant reductions, including eriodyctiol, dihydroquecetin, and dihydromyricetin, whereas naringenin chalone and dihydrokaempferol were increased after PpCYP98 knockout. Therefore, the synthesis of flavonoids shares the core pathway with phenylpropanoids and mainly starts from caffeoyl-CoA, that is the compound of divergence between the two pathways in moss. PpCYP98 showed systemic effects on metabolisms, including carbohydrate, fatty acid, and hormonal signaling transductions, suggesting that PpCYP98 might indirectly regulate carbon influx allocation. Our results demonstrated roles of PpCYP98 were essential for the development of the early landing plant.

Abstract
Terpenoids are pervasive in nature and display an immense structural diversity. As the largest category of plant secondary metabolites, terpenoids have important socioeconomic value in the fields of pharmaceuticals, spices, and food manufacturing. The biosynthesis of terpenoid skeletons has made great progress, but the subsequent modifications of the terpenoid framework are poorly understood, especially for the functionalization of inert carbon skeleton usually catalyzed by hydroxylases. Hydroxylase is a class of enzymes that plays an important role in the modification of terpenoid backbone. This review article outlines the research progress in the identification, molecular modification, and functional expression of this class of enzymes in the past decade, which are profitable for the discovery, engineering, and application of more hydroxylases involved in the plant secondary metabolism.

Abstract
Sagittaria trifolia control is threatened by the emergence of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides. Hence, we systematically uncovered the molecular mechanism of resistance to the main herbicide (bensulfuron-methyl) in Liaoning Province from target-site and non-target-site resistance perspectives. The suspected resistant population (TR-1) exhibited high-level resistance. A new amino acid substitution (Pro-197-Ala) in resistant Sagittaria trifolia for ALS was detected, and the molecular docking results showed that the spatial structure of ALS changed significantly after the substitution, manifested by an increase in the number of contacted amino acid residues and the disappearance of hydrogen bonds. Dose-response test of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana further demonstrated that the Pro-197-Ala substitution conferred bensulfuron-methyl resistance. The assays found that the sensitivity of the ALS enzyme in TR-1 to this herbicide was decreased in vitro; and this population had developed resistance to other types of ALS-inhibiting herbicides. Furthermore, the resistance of TR-1 to bensulfuron-methyl was significantly alleviated after co-treatment with a P450-inhibitor (malathion). TR-1 metabolized bensulfuron-methyl significantly faster than sensitive population (TS-1) did, but this gap was narrowed after malathion treatment. Overall, the resistance of Sagittaria trifolia to bensulfuron-methyl was derived from the mutation of the target-site gene and the enhancement of the P450s-mediated detoxification metabolism.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP102A1 (P450BM3) is a versatile monooxygenase enzyme which has been adapted and engineered for multiple applications in chemical synthesis. Mutation of threonine 268 to glutamate (Thr268Glu) converted the heme domain of this enzyme into a H2O2 utilizing peroxygenase. This variant displayed significantly increased peroxide driven hydroxylation activity towards the saturated linear fatty acids tested (undecanoic through to hexadecenoic acid) when compared to the wild-type heme domain. The product distributions arising from fatty acid oxidation using this peroxygenase variant were broadly similar to those obtained with the wild-type monooxygenase holoenzyme, with oxidation occurring predominantly at the ω-1 through to ω-3 positions. 10-Undecenoic acid was regioselectively hydroxylated at the allylic ω-2 carbon by the Thr268Glu peroxygenase. The effect of isotopic substitution were measured using [9,9,10,10-d4]-dodecanoic acid. The kinetic isotope effect for both the monooxygenase and peroxygenase systems ranged between 7.9 and 9.5, with that of the peroxygenase enzyme being marginally lower. This highlights that carbon‑hydrogen bond abstraction is important in the mechanism of both the monooxygenase and peroxygenase systems. This would infer that the ferryl-oxo radical cation intermediate, compound I, is the likely reactive intermediate in both systems. The peroxygenase variant offers the possibility of simpler cytochrome P450 systems for selective oxidations. To demonstrate this we used this system to oxidize tetradecanoic acid using light driven generation of H2O2 by a flavin.

Abstract
Temperature has fundamental influences on the performance and distribution of insects. While considerable attention has been devoted to extreme conditions, particularly extreme cold conditions, few studies have investigated effects of mild cold conditions on insects. We examined the transcriptomic changes in mid-fourth instar larvae of both sexes reared at 10 °C and 25 °C to investigate sex-dependent responses of Plutella xylostella to mild cold stress. There were 624 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in females, the majority of which (n = 386) were down-regulated. In males 3239 genes were differentially expressed and the majority (n = 2341) were up-regulated. Only 280 DEGs were common to both sexes. In females, there were no DEGs encoding heat shock or cold shock proteins, but six of these DEGs were found in males. These differences suggest that females and males might adopt some different strategies to cope with cold stress and/or that they were affected by rearing under cold conditions to different degrees and in different ways. In addition, DEGs encoding antimicrobial peptides, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, fatty acid-related enzymes, cuticle proteins, myofilament, and hormone-related proteins were found in both sexes under cold stress. The transcriptome study reveals unexpected sex-dependent thermal responses and provides new information of how an insect that does not diapause copes with low temperatures.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP450s) are abundant in eukaryotes, specifically in plants and fungi where they play important roles in the synthesis and degradation of secondary metabolites. In eukaryotes, the best studied "self-sufficient" CYP450s, with a fused redox partner, belong to the CYP505 family. Members of the CYP505 family are generally considered sub-terminal fatty acid hydroxylases. CYP505E3 from Aspergillus terreus, however, gives remarkable in-chain hydroxylation at the ω-7 position of C10 to C16 alkanes and C12 and C14 fatty alcohols. Because CYP505E3 is a promising catalyst for the synthesis of δ-dodecalactone, we set out to delineate the unique ω-7 hydroxylase activity of CYP505E3. CYP505E3 and six additional CYP505Es as well as four closely related CYP505s from four different subfamilies were expressed in Pichia pastoris. Only the CYP505Es, sharing more than 70% amino acid identity, displayed significant ω-7 hydroxylase activity toward 1-dodecanol, dodecanoic acid, and tetradecanoic acid giving products that can readily be converted to δ-dodecalactone. Concentrations of δ-dodecalactone, directly extracted from dodecanoic acid biotransformations, were higher than previously obtained with E. coli. Searches of the UniProt and NCBI databases yielded a total of only 23 unique CYP505Es, all from the Aspergillaceae. Given that CYP505Es with this remarkable activity occur in only a few Aspergillus and Penicillium spp., we further explored the genetic environments in which they occur. These were found to be very distinct environments which include a specific ABC transporter but could not be linked to apparent secondary metabolite gene clusters. KEY POINTS: • Identified CYP505Es share > 70% amino acid identity. • CYP505Es hydroxylate 1-dodecanol, dodecanoic, and tetradecanoic acid at ω-7 position. • CYP505E genes occur in Aspergillus and Penicillium spp. near an ABC transporter.

Abstract
Chilo suppressalis is a widely distributed pest occurring in nearly all paddy fields, which has developed high level resistance to different classes of insecticides. Vetiver grass has been identified as a dead-end trap plant for the alternative control of C. suppressalis. In this study, two cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) genes, CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1, were identified and characterized, which are expressed at all developmental stages, with the highest expression in the midguts and fat bodies of 3rd instar larvae. Vetiver significantly inhibited the expression levels of CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1 in 3rd larvae after feeding. RNA interference showed that silencing CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1 genes dramatically reduced the pupation rate and pupa weight. Feeding on vetiver after silencing CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1 led to higher mortality compared with feeding on rice. In conclusion, these findings indicated that the expression levels of CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1 were associated with the lethal effect of vetiver against C. suppressalis larvae and functional knowledge about these two detoxification genes could provide new targets for agricultural pest control.

Abstract
Chiral polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have atropisomers that have different axial chiralities and exist as racemic mixtures. However, biochemical processes often result in the unequal accumulation of these atropisomers in organisms. This phenomenon leads to enantiospecific toxicity enhancement or reduction because either of the atropisomers mainly affects toxicity expression. Enantioselective accumulation is caused by cytochrome P450 (CYP, P450) monooxygenases, especially the CYP2B subfamilies. Therefore, this study investigates the metabolism of a chiral PCB in vitro. Both atropisomers isolated from racemic 2,2',3,4,4',5',6-heptachlorobiphenyl (CB183) were metabolized by human CYP2B6, but not rat CYP2B1. This may be due to the difference in the size of the substrate-binding cavities of CYP2B6 and CYP2B1. The stable accommodation of (-)-CB183 in the cavity without any steric hindrance explained the preferential metabolism of (-)-CB183 compared to (+)-CB183. Two hydroxylated metabolites, 3'-OH-CB183 and 5-OH-CB183, were identified. The docking study showed that the 3'-position of the trichlorophenyl ring closely approaches the heme of CYP2B6. To our knowledge, this is the first study to elucidate the structural basis of chiral PCB metabolism by P450 isozymes. These results will help promote the precise toxicity evaluation of chiral PCBs and provide an explanation of the structural basis of chiral PCB metabolism.

Abstract
Background CYP725A4 catalyses the conversion of the first Taxol® precursor, taxadiene, to taxadiene-5α-ol (T5α-ol) and a range of other mono- and di-hydroxylated side products (oxygenated taxanes). Initially known to undergo a radical rebound mechanism, the recent studies have revealed that an intermediate epoxide mediates the formation of the main characterised products of the enzyme, being T5α-ol, 5(12)-oxa-3(11)-cyclotaxane (OCT) and its isomer, 5(11)-oxa-3(11)-cyclotaxane (iso-OCT) as well as taxadienediols. Besides the high side product: main product ratio and the low main product titre, CYP725A4 is also known for its slow enzymatic activity, massively hindering further progress in heterologous production of Taxol® precursors. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically explore the key parameters for improving the regioselectivity and activity of eukaryotic CYP725A4 enzyme in a whole-cell eukaryotic biocatalyst, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Results Investigating the impact of CYP725A4 and reductase gene dosages along with construction of self-sufficient proteins with strong prokaryotic reductases showed that a potential uncoupling event accelerates the formation of oxygenated taxane products of this enzyme, particularly the side products OCT and iso-OCT. Due to the harmful effect of uncoupling products and the reactive metabolites on the enzyme, the impact of flavins and irons, existing as prosthetic groups in CYP725A4 and reductase, were examined in both their precursor and ready forms, and to investigate the changes in product distribution. We observed that the flavin adenine dinucleotide improved the diterpenoids titres and biomass accumulation. Hemin was found to decrease the titre of iso-OCT and T5α-ol, without impacting the side product OCT, suggesting the latter being the major product of CYP725A4. The interaction between this iron and the iron precursor, δ-Aminolevulinic acid, seemed to improve the production of these diterpenoids, further denoting that iso-OCT and T5α-ol were the later products. While no direct correlation between cellular-level oxidative stress and oxygenated taxanes was observed, investigating the impact of salt and antioxidant on CYP725A4 further showed the significant drop in OCT titre, highlighting the possibility of enzymatic-level uncoupling event and reactivity as the major mechanism behind the enzyme activity. To characterise the product spectrum and production capacity of CYP725A4 in the absence of cell growth, resting cell assays with optimal neutral pH revealed an array of novel diterpenoids along with higher quantities of characterised diterpenoids and independence of the oxygenated product spectra from the acidity effect. Besides reporting on the full product ranges of CYP725A4 in yeast for the first time, the highest total taxanes of around 361.4 ± 52.4 mg/L including 38.1 ± 8.4 mg/L of T5α-ol was produced herein at a small, 10-mL scale by resting cell assay, where the formation of some novel diterpenoids relied on the prior existence of other diterpenes/diterpenoids as shown by statistical analyses. Conclusions This study shows how rational strain engineering combined with an efficient design of experiment approach systematically uncovered the promoting effect of uncoupling for optimising the formation of the early oxygenated taxane precursors of Taxol®. The provided strategies can effectively accelerate the design of more efficient Taxol®-producing yeast strains.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenases play critical roles in determining the toxicity of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in mammals. Hydroxylation of PCBs by these enzymes leads to increased water solubility, promoting the elimination of PCBs from the body. The CYP1 family is mainly responsible for metabolizing PCBs that exhibit a dioxin-like toxicity. Although the dioxin-like PCB 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (CB77) is abundant in the environment and accumulates in organisms, information on CB77 metabolism by CYP1A1s is limited. In this study, recombinant rat CYP1A1 metabolized CB77 to 4'-hydroxy (OH)-3,3',4,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (CB79) and 4'-OH-3,3',4-trichlorobiphenyl (CB35), whereas human CYP1A1 produced only 4'-OH-CB79. Rat CYP1A1 exhibited much higher metabolizing activity than human CYP1A1 because CB77 was stably accommodated in the substrate-binding cavity of rat CYP1A1 and was close to its heme. In a rat CYP1A1 mutant with two human-type amino acids, the production of 4'-OH-CB79 decreased, whereas that of the dechlorinated metabolite 4'-OH-CB35 increased. These results are explained by a shift in the CB77 positions toward the heme. This study provides insight into the development of enzymes with high metabolizing activity and clarifies the structural basis of PCB metabolism, as dechlorination contributes to a drastic decrease in dioxin-like toxicity.

Abstract
Ipomea purpurea (L.) Roth. reduces dry land crop yield and quality in Northeast China, especially in Liaoning Province. Frequent use of thifensulfuron-methyl in recent years has resulted in herbicide resistance in I. purpurea. We evaluated resistance levels of I. purpurea to thifensulfuron-methyl, an acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor, in Liaoning Province and further investigated the resistance mechanisms. The results showed that 15 populations of I. purpurea have evolved up to 5.81-34.44-fold resistance to thifensulfuron-methyl, compared to the susceptible population (S), among which LN3 was the most resistant. DNA sequencing of the ALS gene in susceptible and resistant populations did not reveal any target site mutations that could be associated with resistance to thifensulfuron-methyl in I. purpurea. Additionally, no significant difference was detected between the in vitro ALS activity of LN3 and S. The GR50 of LN3 decreased sharply by 47% when malathion (a P450 inhibitor) was applied with thifensulfuron-methyl. Absorption of thifensulfuron-methyl by LN3 was equal to that of S; however, LN3 metabolized the herbicide significantly faster. This was repressed after the inhibition of P450s activity. Collectively, our results confirmed that I. purpurea in Liaoning Province has developed resistance to thifensulfuron-methyl and implied that the resistance was conferred by the increase in detoxification mediated by P450s. Furthermore, LN3 was sensitive to fluroxypyr, which can be used as an alternative to control I. purpurea.

Abstract
The seven-spot ladybird beetle, Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has been used as the main biological control agent against all kinds of aphids in farmland and greenhouse. In this study, a thiamethoxam-resistant strain (ThR) and a susceptible strain (SS) of seven-spot ladybird beetle were established, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with thiamethoxam resistance were recorded through de novo Illumina HiSeq 4000 sequencing. A total of 53.5 Gb of clean data were obtained and finally assembled into 21,217 unigenes from ThR and SS transcriptomes. 1798 DEGs were identified between the ThR libraries and the SS libraries, including 560 up-regulated genes and 1238 down-regulated genes. Some cytochrome p450 monooxygenases (CYP450s), UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs), esterases (ESTs) and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters were observed to be up-regulated and the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) α subunit gene down-regulated in the ThR strain compared to the SS strain. This study provides genetic information for further studies on thiamethoxam resistance mechanisms in the seven-spot ladybird beetle.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP450s) play crucial roles in the regulation of plant growth and response to abiotic stress. However, their functions in woody trees are still largely unknown. Previously, we reported that expression of the rice cytochrome P450 monooxygenase gene OsCYP714D1 increased gibberellic acid (GA) accumulation and shoot growth in transgenic poplar. In this work, we demonstrate that expression of OsCYP714D1 improved the salt tolerance of transgenic poplar plants. Compared to wild type, plant height and K+ content were significantly higher, whereas plant growth inhibition and Na+ content were significantly lower, in transgenic plants grown under high salt stress condition. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that OsCYP714D1 expression up-regulated the expressions of GA biosynthesis, signaling and stress responsive genes in transgenic plants under both normal and high salt stress conditions. Further gene ontology (GO) analyses indicated that genes involved in plant hormone and ion metabolic activities were significantly enriched in transgenic plants. Our findings imply that OsCYP714D1 participated in the regulation of both shoot growth and salt resistance through regulating gibberellin and ion homeostasis in transgenic poplar, and it can be used as a candidate gene for the engineering of new tree varieties with improved biomass production and salt stress resistance.

Abstract
The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, is a polyphagous pest threatening many economically important crops worldwide. Until recently, synthetic pyrethroids remain in wide use for controlling pest insects including the cotton bollworm. Understanding the metabolic mechanism of pyrethroids in a given pest can provide significant implication for a smart choice of insecticides, and such information is useful for the development of novel selective and safe insecticides. In this study, we used complexes of recombinant H. armigera cytochrome P450 CYP9A and NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase to investigate the capacity of three CYP9A paralogs in the transformation of seven structurally different pyrethroids by metabolism assays. The results showed that the three paralogous CYP9As were able to metabolize multiple pyrethroids. Interestingly, all the three CYP9As transformed pyrethrin-resembling pyrethroids (e.g. bioallethrin) more efficiently than the heavily modified ones (e.g. bifenthrin). These findings suggest that herbivorous insects can cope with synthetic insecticides using their physiological systems that initially evolved to survive exposure to the defensive chemicals in their host plants, adding support to the pre-adaptation hypothesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tetramycin is a 26-member tetraene antibiotic used in agriculture. It has two components, tetramycin A and tetramycin B. Tetramycin B is obtained by the hydroxylation of tetramycin A on C4. This reaction is catalyzed by the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase TtmD. The two components of tetramycin have different antifungal activities against different pathogenic fungi. Therefore, the respective construction of high-yield strains of tetramycin A and tetramycin B is conducive to more targeted action on pathomycete and has a certain practical value. RESULTS Streptomyces ahygroscopicus S91 was used as the original strain to construct tetramycin A high-yield strains by blocking the precursor competitive biosynthetic gene cluster, disrupting tetramycin B biosynthesis, and overexpressing the tetramycin pathway regulator. Eventually, the yield of tetramycin A in the final strain was up to 1090.49 ± 136.65 mg·L- 1. Subsequently, TtmD, which catalyzes the conversion from tetramycin A to tetramycin B, was overexpressed. Strains with 2, 3, and 4 copies of ttmD were constructed. The three strains had different drops in tetramycin A yield, with increases in tetramycin B. The strain with three copies of ttmD showed the most significant change in the ratio of the two components. CONCLUSIONS A tetramycin A single-component producing strain was obtained, and the production of tetramycin A increased 236.84% ± 38.96% compared with the original strain. In addition, the content of tetramycin B in a high-yield strain with three copies of ttmD increased from 26.64% ± 1.97 to 51.63% ± 2.06%.

Abstract
Synthetic chemicals including organochlorine pesticides pose environment and health hazard due to persistent and bio-accumulation property. Majority of them are recognized as endocrine disruptors. Fungi are ubiquitous in nature and employs efficient enzymatic machinery for the biotransformation and degradation of toxic, recalcitrant pollutants. This review critically discusses the organochlorine biotransformation process mediated by fungi and highlights the role of enzymatic system responsible for biotransformation, especially distribution of dehalogenase homologs among fungal classes. It also explores the potential use of fungal derived biomaterial, mainly chitosan as an adsorbing biomaterial for pesticides and heavy metals removal. Further, prospects of employing fungus to over-come the existing bioremediation limitations are discussed. The study highlights the potential scope of utilizing fungi for initial biotransformation purposes, preceding final biodegradation by bacterial species under environmental conditions.

Abstract
The medicinal fungus Sanghuang produces diverse bioactive compounds and is widely used in Asian countries. However, little is known about the genes and pathways involved in the biosynthesis of these active compounds. Based on our previous study providing Sanghuangporus vaninii genomic information, the transcriptomes of MY (mycelium), OY (1-year-old fruiting bodies), and TY (3-year-old fruiting bodies) were determined in this study. A significant number of genes (4774) were up- or downregulated between mycelium and fruiting bodies, but only 1422 differentially expressed genes were detected between OY and TY. 138 genes encoding P450s were identified in the fungal genome and grouped into 25 P450 families; more than 64% (88) of the genes were significantly differentially expressed between the mycelium and fruiting body, suggesting that these P450s are involved in fungal sexual development. Importantly, the expression of genes involved in bioactive compound (triterpenoids, polysaccharides, and flavonoids) biosynthesis in asexual (cultured with solid and liquid media) and sexual stages was explored and combined with transcriptome and quantitative PCR analyses. More genes involved in the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds were expressed more highly in mycelium than in fruiting bodies under liquid medium culture compared with solid medium culture, which was consistent with the yields of different bioactive compounds, suggesting that liquid fermentation of S. vaninii Kangneng can be used to obtain these bioactive compounds. A comprehensive understanding of the genomic information of S. vaninii will facilitate its potential use in pharmacological and industrial applications.

Abstract
Withanolides constitute an extensive and vital class of metabolites displaying wide array of structural and therapeutic properties with unique side-chain modifications. These show diversified scaffolds and are promising pharmaceutical molecules with well documented anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Sterols are dynamic class of compounds and essential molecules having structural and functional significance. These contribute to the synthesis of withanolides by providing structural precursors. In this context, we have characterized sterol Δ22-desaturase from Withania somnifera and also functionally validating it by confirming its desaturase nature in conjunction with quantitative real-time expression profiling and metabolite evaluation. Further, transgenic hairy roots of W. somnifera displayed a higher accumulation of stigmasterol and withanolides. The increase in chemical constituents was concomitant with an increased gene copy number predicted via Southern blotting. Additionally, transgenic lines of tobacco over-expressing WsCYP710A11 displayed a substantial increase in its expression, corroborating well with enhanced stigmasterol content. Characterization of CYP710A11 from W. somnifera and its homologous transgenic expression has demonstrated its role in the regulation of withanolides biosynthesis. It also exhibited a differential transcriptional profile in response to exogenous elicitations. These empirical findings suggest the crucial role of CYP710A11 in stigmasterol biosynthesis. This in turn has implications for the overproduction of withanolides via pathway channelling.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are highly conserved multifunctional enzymes that play crucial roles in insecticide resistance development. In this study, the molecular mechanisms of P450s in acetamiprid resistance development to melon aphid, Aphis gossypii was investigated. Acetamiprid resistant (32.64-fold resistance) population (Ace-R) of A. gossypii was established by continuous selection with acetamiprid for 24 generations. Quantitative Real Time PCR was carried out to analyze the expression of P450 genes in both acetamiprid resistant (Ace-R) and susceptible (Ace-S) strains. Result showed that nine genes (CYP6CY14, CYP6DC1, CYP6CZ1, CYP6DD1, CYP6CY5, CYP6CY9, CYP6DA1, CYP6CY18, and CYP6CY16) of CYP3 clade, four genes (CYP302A1, CYP315A1, CYP301A1, and CYP314A1) of CYP2 clade, two genes (CYP4CK1, CYP4G51) of CYP4 clade and three genes (CYP306A1, CYP305E1, CYP307A1) of mitochondrial clade (Mito clad) were significantly up-regulated, in Ace-R compared to Ace-S strain. Whilst CYP4CJ2 gene from (CYP4 clade) was significantly down-regulated in Ace-R strain. Furthermore, RNA interference-mediated knockdown of CYP6CY14, CYP6DC1, and CYP6CZ1 genes significantly increased the sensitivity of Ace-R strain to acetamiprid. Taken together, this study showed that P450 genes especially CYP6CY14, CYP6DC1 and CYP6CZ1 are potentially involved in acetamiprid resistance development in A. gossypii. This study could be useful to understand the molecular basis of acetamiprid resistance mechanism in A. gossypii.

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
Patients with myocardial ischemic diseases or who are undergoing one of various heart treatments, such as open heart surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting, percutaneous coronary artery intervention or drug thrombolysis, face myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). However, no effective treatment is currently available for MIRI. To improve the prognosis of people with cardiovascular disease, it is important to research the mechanism of MIRI. Arachidonic acid (AA) is one of the focuses of current research. The various metabolic pathways of AA are closely related to the development of cardiovascular disease, and the roles of various metabolites in ischemia-reperfusion injury have gradually been confirmed. AA is mainly metabolized in the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway, lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway, and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP) pathway. This paper summarizes the progress of research on these three major AA metabolic pathways with respect to MIRI.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP-sb21 from the rare actinomycete Sebekia benihana is capable of hydroxylating the immunosuppressive drug molecule cyclosporine A (CsA) primarily at the 4th N-methyl leucine (MeLeu4), giving rise to γ-hydroxy-N-methyl-l-Leu4-CsA (CsA-4-OH). This oxidative modification of CsA leads to dramatically reduced immunosuppressive activity while retaining the hair growth-promoting side-effect, thus demonstrating great application potential in both pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, this P450 enzyme also hydroxylates CsA at the unwanted position of the 9th N-methyl leucine (MeLeu9), indicating that the regioselectivity needs to be improved for the development of CsA-4-OH into a commercial hair growth stimulator. Herein, we report the crystal structure of CYP-sb21 in its substrate-free form at 1.85 Å. Together with sequence and 3D structure comparisons, Autodock-based substrate docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and site-directed mutagenesis, we identified a number of key residues including R294, E264, and M179 that can improve catalytic efficiency or change the regioselectivity of CYP-sb21 towards CsA, setting the stage for better enzymatic preparation of CsA-4-OH. This study also provides new insights into the substrate recognition and binding mechanism of P450 enzymes that accommodate bulky substrates.

Abstract
Shikonin is a natural naphthoquinone derivative that specifically occurs in boraginaceous plants, and the major active ingredient of the medicinal plant Lithospermum erythrorhizon. Previously, a cytochrome P450 oxygenase (CYP) CYP76B74 catalyzing 3″-hydroxylation of geranylhydroquinone (GHQ) - a key intermediate of shikonin biosynthesis, was identified from cultured cells of Arnebia euchroma. However, the enzymes catalyzing oxidation of the geranyl side-chain of GHQ from L. erythrorhizon remain unknown. In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis of different tissues (red roots and green leaves/stems) from L. erythrorhizon using RNA sequencing technology. Highly expressed CYP genes found in the roots were then heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and functionally screened with GHQ as the substrate. As the result, two CYPs of CYP76B subfamily catalyzing the oxidation of GHQ were characterized. CYP76B100 catalyzed the hydroxylation of the geranyl side-chain of GHQ at the C-3″ position to form 3″-hydroxyl geranylhydroquinone (GHQ-3″-OH). The enzyme CYP76B101 carried out oxidation reaction of GHQ at the C-3″ position to produce a 3″-carboxylic acid derivative of GHQ (GHQ-3″-COOH) as well as GHQ-3″-OH. This enzyme-catalyzed oxidation reaction with GHQ as the substrate is reported for the first time. This study implicates CYP76B100 and CYP76B101 as having a potential role in shikonin biosynthesis in L. erythrorhizon.

Abstract
Conidiobolus spp. are important saprophytic basal fungi. However, to date, no genomic-level data for decaying plant materials in the genus Conidiobolus has been reported. Here, we report that the 33.4-Mb genome of Conidiobolus heterosporus encodes 10,857 predicted genes. Conidiobolus heterosporus harbors 394 CAZyme-encoding genes belonging to 4 major modules but does not encode a polysaccharide lyase (PL). Many carbohydrate esterases (CEs) belonging to the family CE12 play crucial roles as pectin acetylesterases, and 14 genes were upregulated in the IM (fungus grown on inducing medium) among 17 expressed CE12 family genes. In addition, most of the genes in the GH132 CAZyme family showed a greater than 5-fold increase in expression in the IM compared with that in the wild type. Furthermore, 122 P450-encoding genes grouped into 11 families were detected in the fungal genome, most of which belonged to the CYP547 family (36 genes) followed by CYP548 (27 genes) and CYP5856 (25 genes). Interestingly, members of the families CYP5014 and CYP5136 were identified, the first time such enzymes have been described in a fungus. Our findings provide new insights into the genomics and genomic features of the saprophytic basal fungus C. heterosporus.Key Points• Genome of the saprobiotic basal fungus C. heterosporus was sequenced and analyzed.• 394 CAZymes but no PL family genes were found and expression levels were determined.• CE12 and GH132 proteins may play roles in the pectin and plant material degradation.• A large number of P450s but few P450 families existed in the fungus.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) constitute a large superfamily of heme-thiolate proteins that are involved in the biosynthesis or degradation of endogenous compounds and detoxification of exogenous chemicals. It has been reported that P450s could serve as odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs) to inactivate odorants to avoid saturating the antennae. However, there is little information about P450s in the antennae of Locusta migratoria. In the current work, we conducted an antenna transcriptome analysis and identified 92 P450s, including 68 full-length and 24 partial sequences. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 68 full-length P450s were grouped into four clans: CYP2, CYP3, CYP4, and mitochondria clans. Tissue, stage, and sex-dependent expressions of these 68 P450s were investigated. The results showed that 4 P450s were antenna-specific, whereas others were antenna-rich but also expressed in other tissues, implying their various potential roles in the antennae. In addition, the responses of seven selected P450s to five gramineous plant volatiles and four locust volatiles were determined. CYP6MU1 could be induced by almost all compounds tested, suggesting its important roles in odorant processing. Different P450s exhibited diverse responses to odorants, indicating that specific regulation of P450 expression by odorants might modulate the sensitivity of the olfactory responses to various chemicals.

Abstract
Pyridalyl belongs to one novel type of insecticides with uncertain mode of action, and it showed significant efficacy against Plutella xylostella, which has been considered as one notorious insect pest in the world. To characterize pyridalyl resistance in P. xylostella, one susceptible strain XY-PS and one laboratory-selected pyridalyl-resistant strain XY-PR (34.4-fold) were used to establish cross-resistance patterns, and no cross-resistance to a series of popular insecticides in the XY-PR was observed. Activities of metabolic enzymes were measured and results showed that there was an approximate 5.2-fold significant increase in cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) and no significant differences in glutathione S-transferase (GST) and esterase between XY-PR and XY-PS, indicating that the enhanced activity of P450 could be dominant mechanism of detoxification. Furthermore, expression profiles of three previously published resistance-associated P450 genes were established but no one was significantly different expression. Besides, fitness costs associated with pyridalyl resistance was observed in XY-PR, and it had been found that survival rate of larvae and hatchability were reduced in XY-PR. Then, by calculating the net replacement rate (R0) of XY-PS, the fitness of XY-PR was established as 0.64. In conclusion, above results provided helpful data and information for studying further on mechanism of pyridalyl resistance, and will be conductive to design rational strategies of resistance management in P. xylostella.

Abstract
CYP4B1 is an enigmatic mammalian cytochrome P450 monooxygenase acting at the interface between xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism. A prominent CYP4B1 substrate is the furan pro-toxin 4-ipomeanol (IPO). Our recent investigation on metabolism of IPO related compounds that maintain the furan functionality of IPO while replacing its alcohol group with alkyl chains of varying structure and length revealed that, in addition to cytotoxic reactive metabolite formation (resulting from furan activation) non-cytotoxic ω-hydroxylation at the alkyl chain can also occur. We hypothesized that substrate reorientations may happen in the active site of CYP4B1. These findings prompted us to re-investigate oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and fatty alcohols with C9-C16 carbon chain length by CYP4B1. Strikingly, we found that besides the previously reported ω- and ω-1-hydroxylations, CYP4B1 is also capable of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-fatty acid hydroxylation. In contrast, fatty alcohols of the same chain length are exclusively hydroxylated at ω, ω-1, and ω-2 positions. Docking results for the corresponding CYP4B1-substrate complexes revealed that fatty acids can adopt U-shaped bonding conformations, such that carbon atoms in both arms may approach the heme-iron. Quantum chemical estimates of activation energies of the hydrogen radical abstraction by the reactive compound 1 as well as electron densities of the substrate orbitals led to the conclusion that fatty acid and fatty alcohol oxidations by CYP4B1 are kinetically controlled reactions.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are heme-thiolated enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of CH bonds in a regio and stereoselective manner. Activation of the non-activated carbon atom can be further enhanced by multistep chemo-enzymatic reactions; moreover, several useful chemicals can be synthesized to provide alternative organic synthesis routes. Given their versatile functionality, CYPs show promise in a number of biotechnological fields. Recently, various CYPs, along with their sequences and functionalities, have been identified owing to rapid developments in sequencing technology and molecular biotechnology. In addition to these discoveries, attempts have been made to utilize CYPs to industrially produce biochemicals from available and sustainable bioresources such as oil, amino acids, carbohydrates, and lignin. Here, these accomplishments, particularly those involving the use of CYP enzymes as whole-cell biocatalysts for bioresource biotransformation, will be reviewed. Further, recently developed biotransformation pathways that result in gram-scale yields of fatty acids and fatty alkanes as well as aromatic amino acids, which depend on the hosts used for CYP expression, and the nature of the multistep reactions will be discussed. These pathways are similar regardless of whether the hosts are CYP-producing or non-CYP-producing; the limitations of these methods and the ways to overcome them are reviewed here.

Abstract
The beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua) is a highly polyphagous agricultural pest that is distributed worldwide. However, the adaptive mechanisms of S. exigua for various insecticides and defensive substances in host plants are unknown. Insect P450 monooxygenases play an important role in the detoxification of plant toxins and insecticides, leading to insecticides resistance. We investigated the induced effects of xanthotoxin exposure on detoxification enzyme activity and larval tolerance to α-cypermethrin in S. exigua. Our results showed that the lethal concentration (LC50) of α-cypermethrin for xanthotoxin-exposed larvae was 2.1-fold higher than in the control. Moreover, cytochrome P450 enzyme activity was significantly elevated by upregulation of P450 genes in treated larvae. RT-qPCR results showed that CYP9A10 expression level was significantly increased in all treatments, while maximal expression level was observed in xanthotoxin+α-cypermethrin-fed larvae. RNAi-mediated silencing of CYP9A10 further increased mortality by 18%, 26% and 35% at 48 h and by 27%, 43% and 55% at 72 h when larvae were exposed to diets containing chemicals as compared to the control. The results show that CYP9A10 might play an important role in xanthotoxin and α-cypermethrin detoxification in S. exigua. RNAi-mediated silencing could provide an effective synergistic agent for pest control or insecticide resistance management.

Abstract
Aedes aegypti thrives in urban environments and transmits several debilitating human viral diseases. Thus, our ability to control this mosquito species in endemic areas is of utmost importance. The use of insecticides, mostly pyrethroids and organophosphates (OPs), has long been the primary means of controlling A. aegypti, but widespread insecticide resistance has emerged. The two main mechanisms of pyrethroid resistance in A. aegypti are CYP-mediated detoxification and mutations in the target site, voltage-sensitive sodium channel (Vssc), referred to as knockdown resistance (kdr). Knowledge about the contributions and interactions of these mechanisms to resistance is important for the understanding of the molecular and evolutionary basis of insecticide resistance, and to determine the effectiveness of insecticides. In this study, we address two aims: 1) determine the patterns of CYP-mediated cross-resistance to pyrethroid and OP insecticides, both in the presence and absence of kdr (S989P + V1016G), and 2) determine whether the interaction between the two mechanisms yields a greater than, less than, or additive effect on resistance. We tested seven pyrethroids and four OPs against three congenic strains of A. aegypti: ROCK (susceptible), CYP:ROCK (CR) (resistant due to CYP-mediated detoxification without kdr), and CYP + KDR:ROCK (CKR) (resistant due to both CYPs and kdr), and compared these to the congenic KDR:ROCK strain that was previously reported. We found that resistance ratios (RRs) were variable between pyrethroids and strains, ranging from 6.2- to 42-fold for CR, and 70- to 261-fold for CKR. In general, we found that CYP-mediated resistance alone contributes less to resistance than kdr. The effect of the combined mechanisms on resistance was significantly greater than additive for all pyrethroids except (1R)-trans-fenfluthrin. CYP-mediated pyrethroid resistance conferred cross-resistance to both methyl paraoxon and fenitrothion, and negative cross-resistance to methyl parathion and naled. Based on our results, we recommend that etofenprox and cyfluthrin be avoided for A. aegypti control in areas where these two resistance mechanisms are prevalent.

Abstract
In this study, two CYP genes, CYP395G1 and CYP4EY1, were analyzed in Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera: Miridae). The expression pattern in different developmental stages of both CYP395G1 and CYP4EY1 revealed that first instar nymphs possessed the highest gene-transcript levels. After 12 h of dinotefuran treatments, the expression levels of CYP395G1 increased by 1.92-fold, while the CYP4EY1 expression decreased. It was observed that the sensitivities of dinotefuran to laboratory strains from F0 to F9 and the mRNA expression levels of CYP395G1 in the F9 dinotefuran selected strain were higher when compared to the control strain. The results suggest that CYP395G1 was possibly a candidate P450 that was involved in dinotefuran detoxification. The dinotefuran resistant strain of A. lucorum was difficult to increase, due to its special molecular structure of dinotefuran compared with other neonicotinoids.

Abstract
Photosynthetic microorganisms have enormous potential to produce fuels and value-added compounds sustainably. Efficient cultivation concepts that enable optimal light and CO2 supply are necessary for the realization of high cell densities (HCDs), and subsequently for process implementation. We introduce capillary biofilm reactors with a high surface to volume ratio, and thus enhanced light availability, enabling HCDs of photo-autotrophic microorganisms. However, oxygenic photosynthesis leads to O2 accumulation in such systems, impairing biofilm growth. We combined O2 producing Synechocystis with O2 respiring Pseudomonas using proto-cooperation to achieve HCDs of up to 51.8 gBDW L-1. This concept was coupled to the challenging C-H oxyfunctionalization of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol with a remarkable conversion of >98% and selectivity of 100% (KA oil). High photoautotrophic biocatalyst concentrations were established and resulted in a productivity of 3.76 gcyclohexanol m-2 day-1, which was maintained for at least one month.

Abstract
Insect cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP) plays a key role in the detoxification of insecticides. In this study, four cDNA sequences of CYP6 genes were identified and characterized. Transcription levels of LmCYP6HC1 and LmCYP6HCL1 were high in first- and fourth-instar nymph stages, respectively. LmCYP6HN1 was primarily expressed in the egg to third-instar nymph stages, while LmCYP6HQ1 was predominantly expressed in the stages from fourth-instar nymph to the adult. The four CYP6 genes were predominantly distributed in the antenna, brain, fat body, integument, and hemolymph. Piperonyl butoxide exposure inhibited total CYP activity and synergized the toxicity of carbamates and pyrethroids. Knockdown of LmCYP6HL1, LmCYP6HN1, and LmCYP6HQ1 increased nymph mortality following exposure to carbaryl, and silencing of LmCYP6HC1, LmCYP6HL1, LmCYP6HN1, and LmCYP6HQ1 comprehensively raised nymph mortality following exposure to fluvalinate. Knockdown of LmCYP6HL1 or LmCYP6HN1 significantly increased nymph mortality following exposure to cypermethrin or fenvalerate, respectively. These results suggest that the CYP6 family plays a key role in determining the susceptibility of Locusta migratoria to both carbamates and pyrethroids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) is a medicinal plant whose signature bioactive compounds, marrubiin and related furanoid diterpenoid lactones, have potential applications for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and type II diabetes. Lack of scalable plant cultivation and the complex metabolite profile of M. vulgare limit access to marrubiin via extraction from plant biomass. Knowledge of the marrubiin-biosynthetic enzymes can enable the development of metabolic engineering platforms for marrubiin production. We previously identified two diterpene synthases, MvCPS1 and MvELS, that act sequentially to form 9,13-epoxy-labd-14-ene. Conversion of 9,13-epoxy-labd-14-ene by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) enzymes can be hypothesized to facilitate key functional modification reactions in the formation of marrubiin and related compounds. RESULTS Mining a M. vulgare leaf transcriptome database identified 95 full-length P450 candidates. Cloning and functional analysis of select P450 candidates showing high transcript abundance revealed a member of the CYP71 family, CYP71AU87, that catalyzed the hydroxylation of 9,13-epoxy-labd-14-ene to yield two isomeric products, 9,13-epoxy labd-14-ene-18-ol and 9,13-epoxy labd-14-ene-19-ol, as verified by GC-MS and NMR analysis. Additional transient Nicotiana benthamiana co-expression assays of CYP71AU87 with different diterpene synthase pairs suggested that CYP71AU87 is specific to the sequential MvCPS1 and MvELS product 9,13-epoxy-labd-14-ene. Although the P450 products were not detectable in planta, high levels of CYP71AU87 gene expression in marrubiin-accumulating tissues supported a role in the formation of marrubiin and related diterpenoids in M. vulgare. CONCLUSIONS In a sequential reaction with the diterpene synthase pair MvCPS1 and MvELS, CYP71AU87 forms the isomeric products 9,13-epoxy labd-14-ene-18/19-ol as probable intermediates in marrubiin biosynthesis. Although its metabolic relevance in planta will necessitate further genetic studies, identification of the CYP71AU87 catalytic activity expands our knowledge of the functional landscape of plant P450 enzymes involved in specialized diterpenoid metabolism and can provide a resource for the formulation of marrubiin and related bioactive natural products.

Abstract
The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is one of the most economically important rice pests in Asia and has become resistant to various kinds of insecticides, including neonicotinoid insecticides. In this study, an N. lugens clothianidin-resistant (CLR) strain and a susceptible (CLS) strain were established, and the potential resistance mechanisms of N. lugens to clothianidin were elucidated. The cross-resistance studies showed that the clothianidin-resistant strain exhibited cross-resistance to most neonicotinoid insecticides, especially nitenpyram (99.19-fold) and dinotefuran (77.68-fold), while there was no cross-resistance to chlorpyrifos (1.79-fold). The synergism assays and the activities of the detoxification enzymes were performed, and we found that a cytochrome P450 conferred the clothianidin resistance. Two P450 genes (CYP6ER1 and CYP6AY1) were found to be significantly overexpressed in the CLR strain compared with the CLS strain based on qRT-PCR. In addition, the knockdown of CYP6ER1 by RNA interference dramatically increased the toxicity of clothianidin against N. lugens. These data demonstrated that the overexpression of CYP6ER1 could contribute to clothianidin resistance in N. lugens. Our findings will help to improve the design of effective resistance management strategies to control brown planthoppers.

Abstract
Biosynthetic capacity of plants, rooted in a near inexhaustible supply of photosynthetic energy and founded upon an intricate matrix of metabolic networks, makes them versatile chemists producing myriad specialized compounds. Along with tremendous success in elucidation of several plant biosynthetic routes, their reestablishment in heterologous hosts has been a hallmark of recent bioengineering endeavors. However, current efforts in the field are, in the main, aimed at grafting the pathways to fermentable recipient organisms, like bacteria or yeast. Conversely, while harboring orthologous metabolic trails, select plant species now emerge as viable vehicles for mobilization and engineering of complex biosynthetic pathways. Their distinctive features, like intricate cell compartmentalization and formation of specialized production and storage structures on tissue and organ level, make plants an especially promising chassis for the manufacture of considerable amounts of high-value natural small molecules. Inspired by the fundamental tenets of synthetic biology, capitalizing on the versatility of the transient plant transformation system, and drawing on the unique compartmentation of plant cells, we explore combinatorial approaches affording production of natural and new-to-nature, bespoke chemicals of potential importance. Here, we focus on the transient engineering of P450 monooxygenases, alone or in concert with other orthogonal catalysts, like tryptophan halogenases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nicotine-degrading microorganisms (NDMs) have recently received much attention since they can consume nicotine as carbon and nitrogen source for growth. In our previous work, we isolated an efficient nicotine-degrading fungus Aspergillus oryzae 112822 and first proposed a novel demethylation pathway of nicotine degradation in fungi. However, the underlying mechanisms of the demethylation pathway remain unresolved. In the present study, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of nicotine tolerance and degradation in A. oryzae 112822. RESULTS We acquired a global view of the transcriptional regulation of A. oryzae 112822 exposed to nicotine and identified 4381 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by nicotine treatment. Candidate genes encoding cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs), FAD-containing amine oxidase, molybdenum cofactor (Moco)-containing hydroxylase, and NADH-dependent and FAD-containing hydroxylase were proposed to participate in the demethylation pathway of nicotine degradation. Analysis of these data also revealed that increased energy was invested to drive nicotine detoxification. Nicotine treatment led to overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which formed intracellular oxidative stress that could induce the expression of several antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxiredoxin (Prx). Thioredoxin system was induced to restore the intracellular redox homeostasis. Several glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) were induced, most likely to participate in phase II detoxification of nicotine by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) to active metabolites. The toxin efflux pumps, such as the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters and the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporters, were overexpressed to overcome the intracellular toxin accumulation. By contrast, the metabolic pathways related to cellular growth and reproduction, such as ribosome biogenesis and DNA replication, were inhibited by nicotine treatment. CONCLUSION These results revealed that complex regulation networks, involving detoxification, transport, and oxidative stress response accompanied by increased energy investment, were developed for nicotine tolerance and degradation in A. oryzae 112822. This work provided the first insight into the metabolic regulation of nicotine degradation and laid the foundation for further revealing the molecular mechanisms of the nicotine demethylation pathway in filamentous fungi.

Abstract
4,4'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) has been re-recommended by the World Health Organization for malaria mosquito control. Previous DDT use has resulted in resistance, and with continued use resistance will likely increase in terms of level and extent. Drosophila melanogaster is a model dipteran with a well annotated genome allowing both forward and reverse genetic manipulation, numerous studies done on insecticide resistance mechanisms, and is related to malaria mosquitoes allowing for extrapolation. The 91-R strain of D. melanogaster is highly resistant to DDT (>1500-fold) and recently, reduced penetration, increased detoxification, and direct excretion have been identified as resistance mechanisms. Their interactions, however, remain unclear. Use of Gal4/UAS-RNAi transgenic lines of D. melanogaster allowed for the targeted knockdown of genes putatively involved in DDT resistance and has identified the role of several cuticular proteins (Cyp4g1 and Lcp1), cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (Cyp6g1 and Cyp12d1), and ATP binding cassette transporters (Mdr50, Mdr65, and Mrp1) involved in decreased sensitivity to DDT. These above findings have been further validated in 91-R flies using a nanoparticle-enhanced RNAi strategy, directly implication these genes in DDT resistance in 91-R flies.

Abstract
The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) has developed high resistance to the first-generation neonicotinoids (imidacloprid). With commercialization and widespread field use of the second-(thiamethoxam) and third-(dinotefuran) generation neonicotinoids, resistance to these insecticides is also reported. We investigated the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-mediated detoxification in thiamethoxam- and dinotefuran- resistant in comparison to imidacloprid-resistant strains of BPH. In the three moderately resistant BPH strains selected separately with the three insecticides from a same susceptible strain, P450 activities were significantly enhanced over the susceptible control. Seven of 26 tested P450 genes were up-regulated and CYP6ER1 was a strongly over-expressed gene in all the three resistant strains. Knockdown of CYP6ER1 in the susceptible insects reduced P450 activity, retarded nymph growth and significantly increased sensitivity to each one of the three neonicotinoids. Taken together, we show that enhanced P450 activity and over-expression of CYP6ER1 gene are involved in BPH resistance to thiamethoxam and dinotefuran as to imidacloprid. These findings are of significance in management thiamethoxam and dinotefuran resistance in the BPH, especially in the management of potential cross-resistance to the three generations of neonicotinoids.

Abstract
Theophylline, one of the most commonly used bronchodilators and respiratory stimulators for the treatment of acute and chronic asthmatic conditions, can cause permanent neurological damage through chronic or excessive ingestion. In this work, DFT calculation was performed to identify the metabolic mechanisms of theophylline by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) monooxygenase. Two main metabolic pathways were investigated, namely, N1- (path A) and N3- (path B) demethylations, which proceeded through N-methyl hydroxylation followed by the decomposition of the generated carbinolamine species. N-methyl hydroxylation involved a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism, which can be generalized as the N-demethylation mechanism of xanthine derivatives. The energy gap between the low-spin double state (LS) and the high-spin quartet state (HS) was low (<1 kcal mol-1), indicating a two-state reactivity (TSR) mechanism. The generated carbinolamine species preferred to decompose through the adjacent heteroatom (O6 for path A and O2 for path B) mediated mechanism. Path B was kinetically more feasible than path A attributed to its relatively lower activation energy. 1-Methylxanthine therefore was the energetically favorable metabolite of theophylline. The observations obtained in the work were in agreement with the experimental observation, which can offer important implications for further pharmacological and clinic studies.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 monooxygenases play a key role in detoxification mechanism for spirotetramat resistance in Aphis gossypii Glover. However, only one P450 genes (CYP6DA2), among thirty-five P450 genes identified from Aphis gossypii transcriptome database, has been reported to play important role in spirotetramat resistance in previous resistance level until now. In this study, after the confirmation of the rise of resistance level and important roles of P450s in spirotetramat resistance by the synergism analysis, the gene expression changes were determined for P450 genes in spirotetramat susceptible and resistant strains. Compared with the susceptible strain, CYP6CY4, CYP6CY14, CYP6CY18 and CYP6DC1 in CYP3 Clade were up-regulated in resistant nymphs, with the CYP6CY14, CYP6CY4, CYP6DC1, and CYP6CY18 increased to 2.54-, 1.51-, 1.31- and 1.29-fold, respectively. Eight genes in CYP3 Clade, three genes in CYP4 Clade and one gene in Mito Clade were down-regulated. In resistant adult aphids, CYP380C6 in CYP4 Clade, CYP353B1 in CYP2 Clade, and CYP307A1 in Mito Clade were up-regulated under spirotetramat stress, with the CYP380C6, CYP353B1 and CYP307A1 increased to 2.89-, 1.91-, and 1.38-fold, respectively. In contrast, the other P450 genes were almost down-regulated, especially these P450 genes in CYP3 Clade, CYP4 Clade and Mito Clade. RNA interference of CYP380C6 significantly increased the sensitivity of the resistant adults and nymphs to spirotetramat, while suppression of CYP6CY14 could not increase the toxicity of spirotetramat. These results indicate the possible involvement of the CYP380C6 genes in spirotetramat resistance at present very high resistance levels. Screening the expression changes of P450 genes under different spirotetramat resistance levels in the genome-scale will provide an overall view on the possible metabolic factors in the resistance development. The results may facilitate further work to validate the roles of P450 in spirotetramat resistance with heterologous expression.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are able to catalyse a range of synthetically challenging reactions ranging from hydroxylation and demethylation to sulfoxidation and epoxidation. As such they have great potential for biocatalytic applications but are underutilised due to often-poor expression, stability and solubility in recombinant bacterial hosts. The use of self-sufficient P450 s with fused haem and reductase domains has already contributed heavily to improving catalytic efficiency and simplifying an otherwise more complex multi-component system of P450 and redox partners. Herein, we present a new addition to the class VII family with the cloning, sequencing and characterisation of the self-sufficient CYP116B62 Hal1 from Halomonas sp. NCIMB 172, the genome of which has not yet been sequenced. Hal1 exhibits high levels of expression in a recombinant E. coli host and can be utilised from cell lysate or used in purified form. Hal1 favours NADPH as electron donor and displays a diverse range of activities including hydroxylation, demethylation and sulfoxidation. These properties make Hal1 suitable for future biocatalytic applications or as a template for optimisation through engineering.

Abstract
Directed evolution has emerged as one of the most effective protein engineering methods in basic research as well as in applications in synthetic organic chemistry and biotechnology. The successful engineering of protein activity, allostery, binding affinity, expression, folding, fluorescence, solubility, substrate scope, selectivity (enantio-, stereo-, and regioselectivity), and/or stability (temperature, organic solvents, pH) is just limited by the throughput of the genetic selection, display, or screening system that is available for a given protein. Sometimes it is possible to analyze millions of protein variants from combinatorial libraries per day. In other cases, however, only a few hundred variants can be screened in a single day, and thus the creation of smaller yet smarter libraries is needed. Different strategies have been developed to create these libraries. One approach is to perform mutational scanning or to construct "mutability landscapes" in order to understand sequence-function relationships that can guide the actual directed evolution process. Herein we provide a protocol for economically constructing scanning mutagenesis libraries using a cytochrome P450 enzyme in a high-throughput manner. The goal is to engineer activity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity in the oxidative hydroxylation of a steroid, a challenging reaction in synthetic organic chemistry. Libraries based on mutability landscapes can be used to engineer any fitness trait of interest. The protocol is also useful for constructing gene libraries for deep mutational scanning experiments.
