Structure-Functional Analysis of Human Cytochrome P450 2C8 Using Directed Evolution.


ABSTRACT: The human genome includes four cytochrome P450 2C subfamily enzymes, and CYP2C8 has generated research interest because it is subject to drug-drug interactions and various polymorphic outcomes. To address the structure-functional complexity of CYP2C8, its catalytic activity was studied using a directed evolution analysis. Consecutive rounds of random mutagenesis and screening using 6-methoxy-luciferin produced two mutants, which displayed highly increased luciferase activity. Wild-type and selected mutants were expressed on a large scale and purified. The expression levels of the D349Y and D349Y/V237A mutants were ~310 and 460 nmol per liter of culture, respectively. The steady-state kinetic analysis of paclitaxel 6α-hydroxylation showed that the mutants exhibited a 5-7-fold increase in kcat values and a 3-5-fold increase in catalytic efficiencies (kcat/KM). In arachidonic acid epoxidation, two mutants exhibited a 30-150-fold increase in kcat values and a 40-110-fold increase in catalytic efficiencies. The binding titration analyses of paclitaxel and arachidonic acid showed that the V237A mutation had a lower Kd value, indicating a tighter substrate-binding affinity. The structural analysis of CYP2C8 indicated that the D349Y mutation was close enough to the putative binding domain of the redox partner; the increase in catalytic activity could be partially attributed to the enhancement of the P450 coupling efficiency or electron transfer.
