目的重组表达人细胞色素P450(CYP)2A13突变体CYP2A13*2,CYP2A13*5,CYP2A13*6,CYP2A13*8和CYP2A13*9,并研究CYP2A13突变体与野生型CYP2A13(CYP2A13*1)对香豆素的代谢活性上的差异。方法通过点突变法构建各CYP2A13突变体。用杆状病毒表达系统制备含各突变体c DNA的重组病毒,并将其与含人源还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷磷酸P450氧化还原酶(POR,野生型)的重组杆状病毒共转染昆虫草地夜蛾细胞(sf9),共表达CYP2A13突变体和POR重组蛋白。将表达产物制备成微粒体与香豆素(0.25~25μmol·L-1)体外孵育30 min,高效液相色谱法测定各重组酶对香豆素的代谢活性。结果Western蛋白印迹结果表明,各重组酶在sf9细胞中得到了表达。体外代谢实验显示,CYP2A13野生型及其突变体蛋白代谢香豆素在Km值上无显著差异,而在Vmax(mol·min-1·mol-1CYP)上,CYP2A13*2(0.58±0.05,P〈0.05)、CYP2A13*5(0.71±0.08,P〈0.01)、CYP2A13*6(0.84±0.09,P〈0.01)、CYP2A13*9(0.58±0.04,P〈0.05)等突变体与CYP2A13*1(0.33±0.06)相比有显著性差异,使得这4个突变体的代谢效率增加了40%~108%。结论体外成功表达了具有活性的CYP2A13*2,CYP2A13*5,CYP2A13*6,CYP2A13*8和CYP2A13*9重组蛋白。CYP2A13*2,CYP2A13*5,CYP2A13*6和CYP2A13*9等突变体的香豆素代谢活性明显高于CYP2A13*1。
OBJECTIVE To construct and express recombinant human P450 2A13 mutants CYP2A13*2, CYP2A13*5, CYP2A13*6, CYP2A13*8 and CYP2A13*9, and to determine the function- al consequences, if any, that CYP2A13 mutants might have on CYP2A13-catalysed coumarin metabo- lism. METHODS The wild-type CYP2A13 gene was used as template to obtain CYP2A13 mutants by site-directed mutation PCR. Bac-to-Bac Baculovirus expression system was employed to produce re- combinant baculovirus carrying cDNAs of CYP2A13 mutants. Spodoptera frugiperc/a 9 (Sf9) cells were co-infected with recombinant baculovirus of CYP2A13 mutants and human NADPH-P450 oxidoreduc- tase (POR, wildtype) to express CYP2A13 proteins. The microsome containing recombinant proteins was prepared and incubated with coumarin (0.25-25 μmol·L^-1) for 30 min. The coumarin 7-hydroxyl- ation activities of CYP2A13 mutants were determined by HPLC. RESULTS A single band of 56 ku was detected in the microsomes prepared from the Sf9 cells transfected with bacmids containing CYP2A13 cDNAs. CYP2A13 mutants and CYP2A13*1 had similar K,,values. However, the Vr~ values (mol- min-1. mo1-1 CYP) of CYP2A13*2 (0.58±0.05, P〈0.05), CYP2A13*5 (0.71±0.08, P〈0.01), CYP2A13*6 (0.84± 0.09, P〈 0.01) and CYP2A13*9 (0.58 ±0.04, P〈 0.05) were significantly higher those of CYP2A13*1 (0.33±0.06), which resulted in a 40%- 108% increase of catalytic efficiency. CONCLUSION CYP2A13*2, CYP2A13*5, CYP2A13*6, CYP2A13*8 and CYP2A13*9 with metabolic activities are successfully expressed using Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system. The results of coumarin metabolism show that the coumarin 7-hydroxylation activities of CYP2A13*2, CYP2A13*5, CYP2A13*6 and CYP2A13*9 are significantly higher than those of CYP2A13*1.
