Significant increase in phenacetin oxidation on L382V substitution in human cytochrome P450 1A2.

چکیده
Human CYP1A2 is an important drug-metabolizing enzyme, similar in sequence to CYP1A1 but with distinct substrate specificity. We have previously shown that residue 382 affected CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 specificities with alkoxyresorufins. To determine whether this residue is also important for the metabolism of other substrates, we have investigated phenacetin oxidation by single (T124S, T223N, V227G, N312L, and L382V) and multiple (L382V/T223N, L382V/N312L, L382V/T223N/N312L, and L382V/T124S/N312L) mutants of CYP1A2. The enzymes were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. All the CYP1A2 mutants that contained the L382V substitution displayed much higher activities than the wild-type enzyme, with k(cat) values 3-fold higher, in contrast to other mutants, for which k(cat) decreased. Likewise, a significant increase in specificity, expressed as the k(cat)/K(m) ratio, was observed for the mutants containing the L382V substitution. The efficiency of coupling of reducing equivalents to acetaminophen formation was decreased for all the single mutants except L382V, for which the coupling increased. This effect was also observed with multiple CYP1A2 mutants containing the L382V substitution. Low activities of the four other single mutants were likely caused by dramatically increased uncoupling to water. In contrast, the increase in activity of the L382V-containing mutants resulted from decreased water formation. This finding is consistent with molecular dynamics results, which showed decreased phenacetin mobility leading to increased product formation. The results of these studies confirm the importance of residue 382 in CYP1A2-catalyzed oxidations and show that a single residue substitution can dramatically affect enzymatic activity.

The effect of St John's wort (hypericum perforatum) on cytochrome p450 1a2 activity in perfused rat liver.
AIMS We previously reported the effect of St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) standardised extract LI 160 on the activities of cytochrome P450 2C6, 2D2 and 3As (Dostalek et al., Life Sciences 2005;78(3):239-44). In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of St John's wort on the activity of cytochrome P450 1A2. METHODS The isolated perfused rat liver model was used in our experiments with...

P450 1A2 is responsible for the metabolism of clinically important drugs and the metabolic activation of environmental chemicals. Genetic variations of P450 1A2 can influence its ability to perform these functions, and thus, this study aimed to characterize the functional significance of three P450 1A2 allelic variants containing nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (P450 1A2*8, R456H;...
متن کاملApplication of molecular modeling for prediction of substrate specificity in cytochrome P450 1A2 mutants.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of 7-ethoxy- and 7-methoxyresorufin bound in the active site of cytochrome P450 (P450) 1A2 wild-type and various mutants were used to predict changes in substrate specificity of the mutants. A total of 26 multiple mutants representing all possible combinations of five key amino acid residues, which are different between P450 1A1 and 1A2, were examined. The re...
متن کاملIn vivo effect of diallyl sulfide and cimetidine on phenacetin metabolism and bioavailability in rat.
Numerous cytochrome P450 inhibitors have been described as effective modulators of cytochrome P450 isoforms activity in vitro. Their inhibitory efficiency may be considerably modified after in vivo application. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of oral administration of diallyl sulfide--a cytochrome P450 2E1 inhibitor and cimetidine--a cytochrome P450 2C6 and 2C11 inhibitor on rat...
