Effect of Salts on the Conformational Dynamics of the Cytochrome P450 OleP. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 28:molecules28020832.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 OleP catalytic activity is strongly influenced by its structural dynamic conformational behavior. Here, we combine equilibrium-binding experiments with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to clarify how different environments affect OleP conformational equilibrium between the open and the closed-catalytic competent-forms. Our data clearly show that at high-ionic strength conditions, the closed form is favored, and, very interestingly, different mechanisms, depending on the chemistry of the cations, can be used to rationalize such an effect.

Dissecting the Cytochrome P450 OleP Substrate Specificity: Evidence for a Preferential Substrate. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10101411. [PMID: 33036250 PMCID: PMC7600006 DOI: 10.3390/biom10101411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The cytochrome P450 OleP catalyzes the epoxidation of aliphatic carbons on both the aglycone 8.8a-deoxyoleandolide (DEO) and the monoglycosylated L-olivosyl-8.8a-deoxyoleandolide (L-O-DEO) intermediates of oleandomycin biosynthesis. We investigated the substrate versatility of the enzyme. X-ray and equilibrium binding data show that the aglycone DEO loosely fits the OleP active site, triggering the closure that prepares it for catalysis only on a minor population of enzyme. The open-to-closed state transition allows solvent molecules to accumulate in a cavity that forms upon closure, mediating protein–substrate interactions. In silico docking of the monoglycosylated L-O-DEO in the closed OleP–DEO structure shows that the L-olivosyl moiety can be hosted in the same cavity, replacing solvent molecules and directly contacting structural elements involved in the transition. X-ray structures of aglycone-bound OleP in the presence of L-rhamnose confirm the cavity as a potential site for sugar binding. All considered, we propose L-O-DEO as the optimal substrate of OleP, the L-olivosyl moiety possibly representing the molecular wedge that triggers a more efficient structural response upon substrate binding, favoring and stabilizing the enzyme closure before catalysis. OleP substrate versatility is supported by structural solvent molecules that compensate for the absence of a glycosyl unit when the aglycone is bound.

Abstract
The regulation of cytochrome P450 activity is often achieved by structural transitions induced by substrate binding. We describe the conformational transition experienced upon binding by the P450 OleP, an epoxygenase involved in oleandomycin biosynthesis. OleP bound to the substrate analog 6DEB crystallized in 2 forms: one with an ensemble of open and closed conformations in the asymmetric unit and another with only the closed conformation. Characterization of OleP-6DEB binding kinetics, also using the P450 inhibitor clotrimazole, unveiled a complex binding mechanism that involves slow conformational rearrangement with the accumulation of a spectroscopically detectable intermediate where 6DEB is bound to open OleP. Data reported herein provide structural snapshots of key precatalytic steps in the OleP reaction and explain how structural rearrangements induced by substrate binding regulate activity.-Parisi, G., Montemiglio, L.

Functional analysis and crystallographic structure of clotrimazole bound OleP, a cytochrome P450 epoxidase from Streptomyces antibioticus involved in oleandomycin biosynthesis. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2015; 1860:465-75. [PMID: 26475642 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2015.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2015] [Revised: 10/05/2015] [Accepted: 10/12/2015] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND OleP is a cyt P450 from Streptomyces antibioticus carrying out epoxigenation of the antibiotic oleandomycin during its biosynthesis. The timing of its reaction has not been fully clarified, doubts remain regarding its substrate and catalytic mechanism. METHODS The crystal structure of OleP in complex with clotrimazole, an inhibitor of P450s used in therapy, was solved and the complex formation dynamics was characterized by equilibrium and kinetic binding studies and compared to ketoconazole, another azole differing for the N1-substituent. RESULTS Clotrimazole coordinates the heme and occupies the active site. Most of the residues interacting with clotrimazole are conserved and involved in substrate binding in MycG, the P450 epoxigenase with the highest homology with OleP. Kinetic characterization of inhibitor binding revealed OleP to follow a simple bimolecular reaction, without detectable intermediates. CONCLUSIONS Clotrimazole-bound OleP adopts an open form, held by a π-π stacking chain that fastens helices F and G and the FG loop. Affinity is affected by the interactions of the N1 substituent within the active site, given the one order of magnitude difference of the off-rate constants between clotrimazole and ketoconazole. Based on structural similarities with MycG, we propose a binding mode for both oleandomycin intermediates, that are the candidate substrates of OleP. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Among P450 epoxigenases OleP is the only one that introduces an epoxide on a non-activated C–C bond. The data here presented are necessary to understand the rare chemistry carried out by OleP, to engineer it and to design more selective and potent P450-targeted drugs.

Abstract
The glycosyltransferases OleG1 and OleG2 and the cytochrome P450 oxidase OleP from the oleandomycin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces antibioticus have been expressed, either separately or from artificial gene cassettes, in strains of Saccharopolyspora erythraea blocked in erythromycin biosynthesis, to investigate their potential for the production of diverse novel macrolides from erythronolide precursors. OleP was found to oxidize 6-deoxyerythronolide B, but not erythronolide B. However, OleP did oxidize derivatives of erythronolide B in which a neutral sugar is attached at C-3. The oxidized products 3-O-mycarosyl-8a-hydroxyerythronolide B, 3-O-mycarosyl-8,8a-epoxyerythronolide B, 6-deoxy-8-hydroxyerythronolide B and the olefin 6-deoxy-8,8a-dehydroerythronolide B were all isolated and their structures determined. When oleP and the mycarosyltransferase eryBV were co-expressed in a gene cassette, 3-O-mycarosyl-6-deoxy-8,8a-dihydroxyerythronolide B was directly obtained. When oleG2 was co-expressed in a gene cassette together with oleP, 6-deoxyerythronolide B was converted into a mixture of 3-O-rhamnosyl-6-deoxy-8,8a-dehydroerythronolide B and 3-O-rhamnosyl-6-deoxy-8,8a-dihydroxyerythronolide B, confirming previous reports that OleG2 can transfer rhamnose, and confirming that oxidation by OleP and attachment of the neutral sugar to the aglycone can occur in either order. Similarly, four different 3-O-mycarosylerythronolides were found to be substrates for the desosaminyltransferase OleG1. These results provide additional insight into the nature of the intermediates in OleP-mediated oxidation, and suggest that oleandomycin biosynthesis might follow parallel pathways in which epoxidation either precedes or follows attachment of the neutral sugar.

Abstract
A cosmid clone from an oleandomycin producer, Streptomyces antibioticus, contains a large open reading frame encoding a type I polyketide synthase subunit and an oleandomycin resistance gene (oleB). Sequencing of a 1.4-kb DNA fragment adjacent to oleB revealed the existence of an open reading frame (oleP) encoding a protein similar to several cytochrome P450 monooxygenases from different sources, including the products of the eryF and eryK genes from Saccharopolyspora erythraea that participate in erythromycin biosynthesis. The oleP gene was expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein to a maltose-binding protein. Using polyclonal antibodies against this fusion protein it was observed that the synthesis of the cytochrome P450 was in parallel to that of oleandomycin. The cytochrome P450 encoded by the oleP gene could be responsible for the epoxidation of carbon 8 of the oleandomycin lactone ring.

Abstract
The 6-deoxyerythronolide B hydroxylase (EryF) is a soluble cytochrome P450 responsible for the stereospecific C-6 hydroxylation of the erythromycin precursor, 6-deoxyerythronolide B. Using the expression of the eryF gene in Escherichia coli [Andersen, J. F., & Hutchinson, C. R. (1992) J. Bacteriol. 174, 725-735] as the enzyme source, we examined the catalytic activity of the EryF protein toward several macrolide substrates related to 6-deoxyerythronolide B. The results of these studies were compared with measurements of the apparent dissociation constants for various substrates and with information from molecular modeling studies of the substrates and the enzyme-substrate complex. Only minor changes in the structure of 6-deoxyerythronolide B resulted in substrates with catalytic rates less than 1% of those seen with the natural substrate. Although the 9S epimer of 9-deoxo-9-hydroxy-6-deoxyerythronolide B was hydroxylated at a rate approximately equal to the natural substrate, the 9R epimer was hydroxylated at a 2-fold lower rate. Examination of molecular models revealed that the position of the 9-hydroxyl oxygen in the 9S epimer resembles that of the 9-oxo oxygen in the natural substrate more closely than in the 9R epimer. 8,8a-Deoxyoleandolide, which is identical to 6-deoxyerythronolide B except for the presence of a C-13 methyl group, and its (9S)-9-deoxo-9-hydroxy derivative were C-6 hydroxylated at a 4-fold lower rate than the natural substrate, and the 9-oxo form showed a substantially larger apparent dissociation constant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The reaction of protected glucuronic esters 2 and 7, as well as D-glucuronolactone derivative 11, with (trimethylsilyl)methylmagnesium chloride in ether led to the corresponding stable bis-silyl adducts 3, 8, and 12, respectively. In Peterson-type reactions catalysed with mild acid, these compounds yielded carbohydrate allylsilanes 4, 9, and 13, respectively. Synthons 4 and 9 were coupled with tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal in a boron trifluoride-catalysed "carbon-Ferrier rearrangement" reaction to give C-linked disaccharides i.e., so-called "C-disaccharides" 16 and 17, respectively, in fair yields. Structural assignments of the anomeric configuration at the C-glycosylic carbon in the 2,3-unsaturated ring of these coupling products with the aid of n.m.r. spectroscopic methods unambiguously showed that alpha-D-C-linked disaccharides had been formed.
