Cytochrome P450 aromatic O-demethylase is a bacterial enzyme that catalyzes the demethylation of lignin and various lignols. The net reaction follows the following stoichiometry, illustrated with a generic methoxy arene: [1]

Contents

ArOCH3 + O2 + 2 e− + 2 H+ → ArOH + CH2O + H2O

The enzyme is notable for its promiscuity, affecting the O-demethylation of a range of substrates, including lignin.

It is a heterodimeric protein derived from the products of two genes. The component proteins are a cytochrome P450 enzyme (encoded by the gcoA gene from the family CYP255A) and a three-domain reductase (encoded by the gcoB gene) complexed with three cofactors (2Fe-2S, FAD, and NADH). [1]

Mechanism

GcoA and GcoB form a dimer complex in solution. GcoA process the substrate while GcoB provides the electrons to support the mixed function oxidase. As with other P450's, monooxygenation of the substrate proceeds concomitantly with reduction of half an equivalent of O2 to water. An oxygen rebound mechanism can be assumed. GcoA positions the aromatic ring within the hydrophobic active site cavity where the heme is located. [2] [3]

Structure

GcoA has a typical P450 structure: a thiolate-ligated heme next to a buried active site. GcoB is however unusual. Cytochrome P450s normally are complemented by either a cytochrome P450 reductase [4] or a ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase;  its electrons are carried by NAD+ or NADP+. GcoB however has a single polypeptide. This polypeptide has an N-terminal ferredoxin with both an NAD(P)+ and also an FAD binding region.

CcoA and GcoB are closely interlinked, acting as an heterodimer in solution. The surface of GcoB has an acidic patch that must interact with the matching basic region in GcoA. It is assumed that the part of GcoB interacting with GcoA is at the intersection between the FAD binding domain and ferredoxin domain. To achieve this GcoB would have to go through some structural change, which would represent a new class of P450 systems (family N). [5] [6] [7]

Potential applications

Cytochrome P450 aromatic O-demethylase assists in the partial O-demethylation of lignin. The resulting 1,2-diols are well suited for oxidative degradation via intra- and extra-diol dioxygenases. Thus O-demethylated lignins are potentially susceptible to partial depolymerization. [8]  With fewer crosslinks, the modified ligand is potentially more useful than the precursor., [9] ranging from fuels [10] [11]

Demethylation is the chemical process resulting in the removal of a methyl group (CH3) from a molecule. A common way of demethylation is the replacement of a methyl group by a hydrogen atom, resulting in a net loss of one carbon and two hydrogen atoms.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cytochrome P450</span> Class of enzymes

Cytochromes P450 are a superfamily of enzymes containing heme as a cofactor that mostly, but not exclusively, function as monooxygenases. In mammals, these proteins oxidize steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics, and are important for the clearance of various compounds, as well as for hormone synthesis and breakdown. In 1963, Estabrook, Cooper, and Rosenthal described the role of CYP as a catalyst in steroid hormone synthesis and drug metabolism. In plants, these proteins are important for the biosynthesis of defensive compounds, fatty acids, and hormones.

Ferredoxins are iron–sulfur proteins that mediate electron transfer in a range of metabolic reactions. The term "ferredoxin" was coined by D.C. Wharton of the DuPont Co. and applied to the "iron protein" first purified in 1962 by Mortenson, Valentine, and Carnahan from the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium pasteurianum.

It is a unique [2Fe-2S] cluster in that one of the two Fe atoms is coordinated by two histidine residues rather than two cysteine residues. They have since been found in plants, animals, and bacteria with widely ranging electron reduction potentials from -150 to +400 mV.

Aromatic-ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases (ARHD) incorporate two atoms of dioxygen (O2) into their substrates in the dihydroxylation reaction. The product is (substituted) cis-1,2-dihydroxycyclohexadiene, which is subsequently converted to (substituted) benzene glycol by a cis-diol dehydrogenase.

Lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51A1) is the animal version of a cytochrome P450 enzyme that is involved in the conversion of lanosterol to 4,4-dimethylcholesta-8(9),14,24-trien-3β-ol. The cytochrome P450 isoenzymes are a conserved group of proteins that serve as key players in the metabolism of organic substances and the biosynthesis of important steroids, lipids, and vitamins in eukaryotes. As a member of this family, lanosterol 14α-demethylase is responsible for an essential step in the biosynthesis of sterols. In particular, this protein catalyzes the removal of the C-14α-methyl group from lanosterol. This demethylation step is regarded as the initial checkpoint in the transformation of lanosterol to other sterols that are widely used within the cell.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dioxygenase</span> Class of enzymes

Dioxygenases are oxidoreductase enzymes. Aerobic life, from simple single-celled bacteria species to complex eukaryotic organisms, has evolved to depend on the oxidizing power of dioxygen in various metabolic pathways. From energetic adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation to xenobiotic degradation, the use of dioxygen as a biological oxidant is widespread and varied in the exact mechanism of its use. Enzymes employ many different schemes to use dioxygen, and this largely depends on the substrate and reaction at hand.

Flavoprotein pyridine nucleotide cytochrome reductases catalyse the interchange of reducing equivalents between one-electron carriers and the two-electron-carrying nicotinamide dinucleotides. The enzymes include ferredoxin-NADP+ reductases, plant and fungal NAD(P)H:nitrate reductases, cytochrome b5 reductases, cytochrome P450 reductases, sulphite reductases, nitric oxide synthases, phthalate dioxygenase reductase, and various other flavoproteins.
