Differences between the structural requirements for ABA 8′-hydroxylase inhibition and for ABA activity
摘要:
A major catabolic enzyme of the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase ABA 8 '-hydroxylase. For designing a specific inhibitor of this enzyme, the substrate specificity and inhibition of CYP707A3, an ABA 8 '-hydroxylase from Arabidopsis thaliana, was investigated using 45 structural analogues of ABA and compared to the structural requirements for ABA activity. Substrate recognition by the enzyme strictly required the 6 '-methyl groups (C-8 ' and C-9 ') which were unnecessary for ABA activity, whereas elimination of the 3-methyl (C-6) and V-hydroxyl groups, which significantly affected ABA activity, had little effect on the ability of analogues to competitively inhibit the enzyme. Fluorination at C-8 ' and C-9 ' resulted in resistance to 8 '-hydroxylation and competitive inhibition of the enzyme. In particular, 8 ',8 '-difluoro-ABA and 9 ',9 '-difluoro-ABA yielded no enzyme reaction products and strongly inhibited the enzyme (K-1 = 0.16 and 0.25 mu M, respectively). (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
