Biocatalytic conversion of avermectin into 4''-oxo-avermectin: discovery, characterization, heterologous expression and specificity improvement of the cytochrome P450 enzyme.
4''-Oxo-avermectin is a key intermediate in the manufacture of the insecticide emamectin benzoate from the natural product avermectin. Seventeen Streptomyces strains with the ability to oxidize avermectin to 4''-oxo-avermectin in a regioselective manner have been discovered, and the enzymes responsible for this reaction were found to be CYPs (cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases). The genes for thes...
متن کاملConversion of nicotine to nornicotine in Nicotiana tabacum is mediated by CYP82E4, a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase.
Nornicotine is a secondary tobacco alkaloid that is produced by the N-demethylation of nicotine. Nornicotine production and accumulation in tobacco are undesirable because nornicotine serves as the precursor in the synthesis of the well characterized carcinogen N'-nitrosonornicotine during the curing and processing of tobacco. Although nornicotine is typically a minor alkaloid in tobacco plants...
متن کاملExploring the Electron Transfer Pathway in the Oxidation of Avermectin by CYP107Z13 in Streptomyces ahygroscopicus ZB01
Streptomyces ahygroscopicus ZB01 can effectively oxidize 4″-OH of avermectin to form 4″-oxo-avermectin. CYP107Z13 is responsible for this site-specific oxidation in ZB01. In the present study, we explored the electron transfer pathway in oxidation of avermectin by CYP107Z13 in ZB01. A putative [3Fe-4S] ferredoxin gene fd68 and two possible NADH-dependent ferredoxin reductase genes fdr18 and fdr...
متن کاملCytochrome P450 Monooxygenase-Mediated Resistance to Insecticides
Insecticide resistance is one of the major obstacles to the control of agriculturally important arthropod pests. Resistance results in increased application frequencies, increased dosages, decreased yields, environmental damage, and outbreaks of human and animal diseases when vectors cannot be controlled. The World Health Organization has called insecticide resistance "the biggest single obstac...
متن کاملInhibition of chitin metabolism by avermectin in susceptible organisms.
Avermectin inhibits Mucor miehei and Artemia salina chitin synthesis and to a degree DNA synthesis in the former. The antibiotic interferes with chitin turnover in brine shrimp and inhibits Streptomyces antibioticus chitinase activity in vitro. In light of the proposed mode of action of avermectin and the anomolies in the literature, it is proposed that avermectin can kill susceptible organisms...
