Enzyme Activity of Natural Products on Cytochrome P450.

ABSTRACT: Drug-metabolizing enzymes, particularly the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) monooxygenases, play a pivotal role in pharmacokinetics. CYP450 enzymes can be affected by various xenobiotic substrates, which will eventually be responsible for most metabolism-based herb-herb or herb-drug interactions, usually involving competition with another drug for the same enzyme binding site. Compounds from herbal or natural products are involved in many scenarios in the context of such interactions. These interactions are decisive both in drug discovery regarding the synergistic effects, and drug application regarding unwanted side effects. Herein, this review was conducted as a comprehensive compilation of the effects of herbal ingredients on CYP450 enzymes. Nearly 500 publications reporting botanicals' effects on CYP450s were collected and analyzed. The countries focusing on this topic were summarized, the identified herbal ingredients affecting enzyme activity of CYP450s, as well as methods identifying the inhibitory/inducing effects were reviewed. Inhibitory effects of botanicals on CYP450 enzymes may contribute to synergistic effects, such as herbal formulae/prescriptions, or lead to therapeutic failure, or even increase concentrations of conventional medicines causing serious adverse events. Conducting this review may help in metabolism-based drug combination discovery, and in the evaluation of the safety profile of natural products used therapeutically.

Discovery and modification of cytochrome P450 for plant natural products biosynthesis.

Project description:Cytochrome P450s are widespread in nature and play key roles in the diversification and functional modification of plant natural products. Over the last few years, there has been remarkable progress in plant P450s identification with the rapid development of sequencing technology, "omics" analysis and synthetic biology. However, challenges still persist in respect of crystal structure, heterologous expression and enzyme engineering. Here, we reviewed several research hotspots of P450 enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of plant natural products, including P450 databases, gene mining, heterologous expression and protein engineering.

Cytochrome P450: taming a wild type enzyme.

Project description: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' - they are particularly robust to mutation in their active sites and readily accept new substrates and exhibit new selectivities. Their ability to adapt to new challenges upon mutation may reflect the nonpolar nature of their active sites as well as their high degree of conformational variability.

Differences in cytochrome p450 enzyme expression and activity in fetal and adult tissues.

Project description:IntroductionHuman cytochrome p450 (CYP) enzyme expression and activity is lower in the fetus as compared to the adult; however, limited quantitative data exists regarding the specific differences in magnitude or the degree of inducibility due to environmental factors.MethodsWe utilized a combination of in silico- and molecular-based approaches to profile and compare CYP expression/activity in human adult liver and fetal tissues. Using public datasets, we evaluated human CYP expression between: 1) placenta vs. adult livers; 2) fetal vs. adult livers; or 3) five compartments of the human placenta. We generated new experimental data, characterizing expression levels of nine CYPs in placenta/fetal liver vs. adult liver. In a subset of samples, we evaluated CYP3A4 activity. Finally, we summarized evidence of human fetal CYP expression/activity and environmental exposures during pregnancy.ResultsIn silico, CYPs were predominately expressed at higher levels in the adult liver vs. fetal tissues, with a few noted exceptions. Sixty percent of CYP enzymes were expressed at nominal levels in the placenta. In wet-lab analyses, we observed significant CYP-specific differences in expression/activity between adult and fetal tissues; CYP2E1 and -3A4 were expressed significantly lower in fetal vs. adult livers, while CYP2J2 levels were similar.DiscussionWe provide a qualitative review of the expression of the CYP enzyme family in critical sites of xenobiotic distribution during human pregnancy and novel quantitative data regarding fetal CYP expression and activity during mid-gestation. Data outputs may be a resource for modeling predictions of chemical distribution and sensitivity.

Arylhydrocarbon receptor and the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP1B1 prevent exacerbation of allergic airway inflammation

Project description:Signaling via the arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is thought to contribute to exacerbation of allergic asthma by anthropogenic pollution. The physiological role of AhR and its downstream targets CYP1 family members upon exposure to aeroallergens remain unknown. We seek to characterize the role of the AhR pathway for the regulation of allergic airway inflammation (AAI). We employed knockout animals of the AhR and its downstream target cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B1 and subjected them to preclinical allergic asthma models (ragweed and house dust mite) to assess the role of AhR and CYP1 family members in allergic airway inflammation. Histological, transcriptional and functional assays were used to uncover relevant cell types and mechanistic insights. In the ragweed model, AhRKO/KO and CYP1B1KO/KO but not CYP1A2 KO/KO or CYP1A2KO/KO animals showed exacerbation of AAI including elevated infiltration of cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and increased serum levels of IgE and allergen-specific IgG1. AhR KO/KO and CYP1B1KO/KO animals showed also more severe reactions in HDM-induced allergic AAI. Bone marrow chimeras as well as qPCR analysis and immune fluorescence histology indicate that expression of CYP1B1 in non-hematopoietic cells – presumably lung epithelial cells – is necessary to prevent exacerbation of HDM-induced AAI. Mechanistically, we show that CYP1B1 deficiency leads to enhanced expression and activity of CYP1A1 in lung epithelial cells and thus potentially to deprivation from endogenous AhR ligands. Transcriptional analysis of primary lung epithelial cells indicates a functional link of the AhR to regulation of circadian clock genes at baseline and massive alteration of gene expression upon allergen exposure.

A High-Throughput Mass Spectrometric Enzyme Activity Assay Enabling the Discovery of Cytochrome P450 Biocatalysts.

Project description:Assaying for enzymatic activity is a persistent bottleneck in biocatalyst and drug development. Existing high-throughput assays for enzyme activity tend to be applicable only to a narrow range of biochemical transformations, whereas universal enzyme characterization methods usually require chromatography to determine substrate turnover, greatly diminishing throughput. We present an enzyme activity assay that allows the high-throughput mass-spectrometric detection of enzyme activity in complex matrices without the need for a chromatographic step. This technology, which we call probing enzymes with click-assisted NIMS (PECAN), can detect the activity of medically and biocatalytically significant cytochrome P450s in cell lysate, microsomes, and bacteria. Using this approach, a cytochrome P450BM3 mutant library was successfully screened for the ability to catalyze the oxidation of the sesquiterpene valencene.

Three pairs of surrogate redox partners comparison for Class I cytochrome P450 enzyme activity reconstitution.

Project description:Most P450s require redox partners for the electron transfer during catalysis. However, little information is available on cognate redox partners for P450s, which greatly limits P450 function exploration and practical application. Thus, the stategy of building various hybrid P450 catalytic systems with surrogate redox partner has often adopted to engineer P450 biocatalysts. In this study, we compare three pairs of frequently-used surrogate redox partner SelFdx1499/SelFdR0978, Adx/AdR and Pdx/PdR and in terms of their electron transfer properties. The three selected bacterial Class I P450s include PikC, P450sca-2 and CYP-sb21, which are responsible for production of high-value-added products. Here we show that SelFdx1499/SelFdR0978 is the most promising redox partner compared to Adx/AdR and Pdx/PdR. The results provide insights into the domination for P450-redox partner interactions in modulating the catalytic activity of P450s. This study not only produces a more active biocatalyst but also suggests a general chose for a universal reductase which would facilitate engineering of P450 catalyst.

Molecular Determinants of Substrate Affinity and Enzyme Activity of a Cytochrome P450<sub>BM3</sub> Variant.

Project description:Cytochrome P450BM3 catalyzes the hydroxylation and/or epoxidation of fatty acids, fatty amides, and alcohols. Protein engineering has produced P450BM3 variants capable of accepting drug molecules normally metabolized by human P450 enzymes. The enhanced substrate promiscuity has been attributed to the greater flexibility of the lid of the substrate channel. However, it is not well understood how structurally different and highly polar drug molecules can stably bind in the active site nor how the activity and coupling efficiency of the enzyme may be affected by the lack of enzyme-substrate complementarity. To address these important aspects of non-native small molecule binding, this study investigated the binding of drug molecules with different size, charge, polar surface area, and human P450 affinity on the promiscuous R47L/F87V/L188Q/E267V/F81I pentuple mutant of P450BM3. Binding free energy data and energy decomposition analysis showed that pentuple mutant P450BM3 stably binds (i.e., negative ΔGb°) a broad range of substrate and inhibitor types because dispersion interactions with active site residues overcome unfavorable repulsive and electrostatic effects. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that 1) acidic substrates tend to disrupt the heme propionate A-K69 salt bridge, which may reduce heme oxidizing ability, and 2) the lack of complementarity leads to high substrate mobility and water density in the active site, which may lead to uncoupling. These factors must be considered in future developments of P450BM3 as a biocatalyst in the large-scale production of drug metabolites.

Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Inhibit the Cytochrome P450 Enzyme, CYP3A4.

Project description:We report a detailed computational and experimental study of the interaction of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with the drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP3A4. Dose-dependent inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated conversion of the model compound, testosterone, to its major metabolite, 6β-hydroxy testosterone was noted. Evidence for a direct interaction between SWCNTs and CYP3A4 was also provided. The inhibition of enzyme activity was alleviated when SWCNTs were pre-coated with bovine serum albumin. Furthermore, covalent functionalization of SWCNTs with polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains mitigated the inhibition of CYP3A4 enzymatic activity. Molecular dynamics simulations suggested that inhibition of the catalytic activity of CYP3A4 is mainly due to blocking of the exit channel for substrates/products through a complex binding mechanism. This work suggests that SWCNTs could interfere with metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics and provides a molecular mechanism for this toxicity. Our study also suggests means to reduce this toxicity, eg., by surface modification.

Engineering cytochrome P450 enzyme systems for biomedical and biotechnological applications.

Project description:Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are broadly distributed among living organisms and play crucial roles in natural product biosynthesis, degradation of xenobiotics, steroid biosynthesis, and drug metabolism. P450s are considered as the most versatile biocatalysts in nature because of the vast variety of substrate structures and the types of reactions they catalyze. In particular, P450s can catalyze regio- and stereoselective oxidations of nonactivated C-H bonds in complex organic molecules under mild conditions, making P450s useful biocatalysts in the production of commodity pharmaceuticals, fine or bulk chemicals, bioremediation agents, flavors, and fragrances. Major efforts have been made in engineering improved P450 systems that overcome the inherent limitations of the native enzymes. In this review, we focus on recent progress of different strategies, including protein engineering, redox-partner engineering, substrate engineering, electron source engineering, and P450-mediated metabolic engineering, in efforts to more efficiently produce pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. We also discuss future opportunities for engineering and applications of the P450 systems.
