Faradic Peaks Enhanced by Carbon Nanotubes in Microsomal Cytochrome P450 Electrodes

In this work we present an investigation on the behavior of microsomes containing human cytochrome P450 in cyclic voltammetry for drug detection. The microsomes are adsorbed on the surface of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes by drop‐casting. We demonstrate that the hydrophobic and highly electroactive surface of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes enables to distinguish more clearly the contributions in reduction peak current attributed to the enzymatic components of microsomes. Voltammetric measurements were performed under several experimental conditions with two cytochrome P450‐isoforms, 1A2 and 3A4. We show that the reduction current for the component of cytochrome P450‐microsome linearly increases in the presence of a substrate.

Cytochrome P450 BM-3 Evolved by Random and Saturation Mutagenesis as an Effective Indole-Hydroxylating Catalyst

Cytochrome P450 BM-3 with the mutations A74G, F87V, and L188Q could catalyze indole to produce indigo and indirubin. To further enhance this capability, site-directed and random mutageneses on the monooxygenase domain of P450 BM-3 mutant (A74G/F87V/L188Q; 3X) were performed. The mutant libraries created by error-prone polymerase chain reaction were screened using a colorimetric colony-based method on agar plates followed by a spectroscopic assay involving in absorption of indigo at 670 nm and NADPH at 340 nm in microtiter plate. Three mutants (K434R/3X, E435D/3X, and D168N/A225V/K440N/3X) exhibited higher hydroxylation activity toward indole in comparison to parent enzyme. Moreover, using saturation site-directed mutagenesis at amino acid positions 168, 225, 434, 435, and 440, two P450 BM-3 variants (D168H/3X, E435T/3X) with an up to sixfold increase in catalytic efficiency (k _cat/K _m) were identified, and the mutant D168H/3X acquired higher regioselectivity resulting in more indigo (dimerized 3-hydroxy-indole) compared to parent mutant (93 vs72%).

Direct electrochemistry of human and rat NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase

The diflavo-protein NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) is the key electron transfer partner for all drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes in humans. The protein delivers, consecutively, two electrons to the heme active site of the P450 in a carefully orchestrated process which ultimately leads to the generation of a high valent oxo-heme moiety. Despite its central role in P450 function, no direct electrochemical investigation of the purified protein has been reported. Here we report the first voltammetric study of purified human CPR where responses from both the FMN and FAD cofactors have been identified using both cyclic and square wave voltammetry. For human CPR redox responses at −2 and −278 mV (with a ratio of 1e⁻:3e⁻) vs NHE were seen at pH 7.9 while the potentials for rat CPR at pH 8.0 were −20 and −254 mV. All redox responses exhibit a pH dependence of approximately −59 mV/pH unit consistent with proton coupled electron transfer reactions of equal stoichiometry.     

Electrochemistry of Cytochrome P450 2B6 on Electrodes Modified with Zirconium Dioxide Nanoparticles and Platin Components

The direct electrochemical and electrocatalytic behavior of the immobilized cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) on zirconium dioxide nanoparticles (ZrO₂) was investigated. The film of nano‐structured ZrO₂ that incorporated cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) with colloidal paltin, which was stabilized by poly‐lysine (Pt‐PLL), was prepared on glassy carbon electrodes. In anaerobic solutions, the immobilized CYP2B6 exhibited a reversible electron transfer between the heme electroactive center of CYP2B6 and electrodes with a formal potential of ?(0.449±0.004) V at pH 7.4. In air‐saturated solutions, an increased bioelectrocatalytic reduction current could be obtained with the CYP2B6‐modified electrode with the addition of anticancer drugs, such as lidocaine. This leads to the construction of disposable biosensors for drugs by utilizing the electrochemical activity and catalytic reactions of the immobilized CYP2B6.     

Association of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes is a Determining Factor in their Catalytic Activity

Previously, our laboratory demonstrated that one cytochrome P450 isoenzyme can influence the catalytic properties of another P450 isoenzyme when combined in a reconstituted system. Moreover, our data and that of other investigators indicate that P450 interaction is required for catalytic activity even when one isoenzyme is present. The goal of the current study was to examine the possible mechanism of these interactions in more detail. Analyzing recently published X-ray data of microsomal P450 enzymes and protein docking studies, four types of dimer formations of P450 enzymes were examined in more detail. In case of two dimer types, the aggregating partner was shown to contribute to NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) binding-a flavoprotein whose interaction with P450 is required for expressing P450 functional activity of the neighboring P450 moiety. Thus, it was shown that dimerization of P450 enzymes might result in an altered affinity towards the CPR. Two dimer types were shown to exist only in the presence of a substrate, while the other two types exist also without a substrate present. The molecular basis was established for the fact that the presence of a substrate and other P450 enzymes simultaneously determine the catalytic activity. Furthermore, a kinetic model was improved describing the catalytic activity of P450 enzymes as a function of CPR concentration based on equilibrium between different supramolecular organizations of P450 enzymes. This model was successfully applied in order to explain our experimental data and that of other investigators.Eszter Hazai and Zsolt Bikádi contributed equally to this workDavid Kupfer-Deceased
