Effect of genetic variants of the human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 on N- and S-oxygenation activities.

چکیده
The decreased capacity of the flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) to oxygenate xenobiotics including trimethylamine is believed to contribute to metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to functionally characterize FMO3 variants recently found in a Japanese population and compare them with selective functional activity of other FMO3 variants. Recombinant Glu158Lys and Glu158Lys-Glu308Gly FMO3 expressed in Escherichia coli membranes showed slightly decreased N-oxygenation of benzydamine and trimethylamine. Selective functional S-oxygenation of these variants by methyl p-tolyl sulfide or sulindac sulfide was comparable to that of wild-type FMO3. The Glu158Lys-Thr201Lys-Glu308Gly and Val257Met-Met260Val variants showed significantly decreased oxygenation of typical FMO3 substrates (i.e., approximately one-tenth of the V(max)/K(m) values). Val257Met FMO3 had a lower catalytic efficiency for methyl p-tolyl sulfide and sulindac sulfide S-oxygenation. However, compared with wild-type FMO3, Val257Met FMO3 showed a similar catalytic efficiency for N-oxygenation of benzydamine and trimethylamine. The catalytic efficiency for benzydamine and trimethylamine N-oxygenation by Arg205Cys FMO3 was only moderately decreased, but it possessed decreased sulindac sulfide S-oxygenation activity. Kinetic analysis showed that Arg205Cys FMO3 was inhibited by sulindac in a substrate-dependent manner, presumably because of selective interaction between the variant enzyme and the substrate. The results suggest that the effects of genetic variation of human FMO3 could operate at the functional level for N- and S-oxygenation for typical FMO3 substrates. Genetic polymorphism in the human FMO3 gene might lead to unexpected changes of catalytic efficiency for N- and S-oxygenation of xenobiotics and endogenous materials.

Analysis of six novel flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) gene variants found in a Japanese population suffering from trimethylaminuria
Polymorphic human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) is associated with the inherited disorder trimethylaminuria. Several FMO3 variants have been observed in a variety of ethnic groups, including a Japanese cohort suffering from trimethylaminuria. The aim of this study was to screen another self-reported Japanese trimethylaminuria cohort for novel FMO3 variants and to investigate these ne...

In humans, flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) functional diversity is determined by the expression of five FMO genes, named FMO1 to FMO5, and their variants. In this study, we systematically analyzed transcripts of FMO1 to FMO5 in different human tissues by reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction and identified a large number of splice variants. Exon skipping was the major splicing e...

To examine the possibility for drug metabolism polymorphism, adult human flavin-containing monooxygenases (form 3) (EC 1.14.13.8) that differ at one amino acid were expressed in Escherichia coli as maltose binding protein fusions. The cDNA that was first reported during the cloning of adult human flavin-containing monooxygenase was designated the wild type lys158 enzyme. A second cDNA has been ...
