The role of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in plant-insect interactions.
Plants and herbivorous insects interact at the most fundamental of levels. With few exceptions, in the battle waged daily between these two groups of organisms, one serves as food source, the other as consumer. From a plant’s perspective, success in this interaction is measured by its ability to defend itself from devastation by insect feeding. From an insect’s perspective, success is measured ...
متن کاملVersatile biocatalysis of fungal cytochrome P450 monooxygenases
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenases, the nature's most versatile biological catalysts have unique ability to catalyse regio-, chemo-, and stereospecific oxidation of a wide range of substrates under mild reaction conditions, thereby addressing a significant challenge in chemocatalysis. Though CYP enzymes are ubiquitous in all biological kingdoms, the divergence of CYPs in fungal kingdom is man...
متن کاملRole of cytochrome P450 in drug interactions
Drug-drug interactions have become an important issue in health care. It is now realized that many drug-drug interactions can be explained by alterations in the metabolic enzymes that are present in the liver and other extra-hepatic tissues. Many of the major pharmacokinetic interactions between drugs are due to hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) enzymes being affected by previous administra...
متن کاملUncovering the role of hydrophobic residues in cytochrome P450-cytochrome P450 reductase interactions.
Cytochrome P450 (CYP or P450)-mediated drug metabolism requires the interaction of P450s with their redox partner, cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR). In this work, we have investigated the role of P450 hydrophobic residues in complex formation with CPR and uncovered novel roles for the surface-exposed residues V267 and L270 of CYP2B4 in mediating CYP2B4--CPR interactions. Using a combination of f...
متن کاملCloning of wound-induced cytochrome P450 monooxygenases expressed in pea.
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) mediate a wide range of oxidative reactions involved in the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites including phenylpropanoids and phytoalexins. To investigate the regulation of these P450s in the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway of pea (Pisum sativum), partial cDNAs representing four distinct P450s expressed in pea seedlings were cloned using a re...
