Cytochrome P450: taming a wild type enzyme.
Protein engineering of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) has been very successful in generating valuable non-natural activities and properties, allowing these powerful catalysts to be used for the synthesis of drug metabolites and in biosynthetic pathways for the production of precursors of artemisinin and paclitaxel. Collected experience indicates that the P450s are highly 'evolvable' - t...
متن کاملCytochrome P450 Enzyme Inhibitors from Nature
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a heme containing enzyme superfamily that catalyzes the oxidative biotransformation of lipophilic substrates to hydrophilic metabolites facilitating their removal from cells. The CYPs were first recognized by Martin Klingenberg (Klingenberg, 1958) while studying the spectrophotometric properties of pigments in a microsomal fraction prepared from rat livers. When a dilut...
متن کاملStructural characterization of CYP144A1 – a cytochrome P450 enzyme expressed from alternative transcripts in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) causes the disease tuberculosis (TB). The virulent Mtb H37Rv strain encodes 20 cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, many of which are implicated in Mtb survival and pathogenicity in the human host. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that CYP144A1 is retained exclusively within the Mycobacterium genus, particularly in species causing human and animal disease. Transcripto...
متن کاملStructural Insights into the Mechanism for Recognizing Substrate of the Cytochrome P450 Enzyme TxtE
Thaxtomins, a family of phytotoxins produced by Streptomyces spp., can cause dramatic plant cell hypertrophy and seedling stunting. Thaxtomin A is the dominant form from Streptomyces scabies and has demonstrated herbicidal action. TxtE, a cytochrome P450 enzyme from Streptomyces scabies 87.22, catalyzes direct nitration of the indolyl moiety of L-tryptophan to L-4-nitrotryptophan using nitric o...
متن کاملInhibition of cytochrome P450 mediated enzyme activity by alkylphosphocholines.
The inhibitory potency of four alkylphospholipids: rac-1-O-phosphocholine-2-hydroxy-octadecane (rac-2-OH), rac-1-O-phosphocholine-2-O-acetyl-octadecane (rac-2-O-acetyl), rac-1-O-phosphocholine-2-amino-octadecane (rac-2-NH2) and rac-1-O-phosphocholine-2-N-acetyloctadecane (rac-2-N-acetyl), on the cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activity has been evaluated. The IC50 values of the alkylpho...
