属于CYP152家族的细胞色素P450过氧化酶使用H 2 O 2催化脂肪酸的氧化。CYP152N1从隔离微小杆菌属菌。AT1b在生理H 2 O 2浓度下专门催化肉豆蔻酸的α-选择性羟基化。但是,通过增加H 2 O 2(1-10 mM)的浓度,由肉豆蔻酸产生了一系列短链烷基脂肪酸,例如十三烷酸。由肉豆蔻酸得到的十三烷酸的收率达到17%。一个18O标记的氧化剂研究表明CYP152N1催化α-羟基肉豆蔻酸的过氧化反应形成α-酮麦芽酸,然后H 2 O 2自发分解生成十三烷酸。CYP152N1的晶体结构分析显示,它与其他CYP152家族酶(例如CYP152A1和CYP152B1)具有高度相似性。CYP152N1中容纳的α-羟基肉豆蔻酸的MD模拟提出了α-羟基肉豆蔻酸可能用于脱羧反应的预氧化构象。

Methods and compositions based upon natural phenolic aromatic aldehydes (ex: cinnamaldehyde, benzaldehyde) are provided, which find use as curing agents for systemic bacterial infections of living plants, in particular against Gram negative bacteria and more particularly species of Liberibacter, including Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus. The curing agent compositions described are used synergistically with other antimicrobial compounds, such as those that plants manufacture or release as a result of biotic or abiotic stresses, including the application of the subject aldehydes, certain proteins, whether produced by recombinant methods or not, nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, or by natural essential oils such as carvacrol or allicin. The aromatic aldehydes have high volatility and exhibit phytotoxicity when applied above certain amounts. Systemic infections and infestations of a variety of plant parts can be treated, including those of leaves and roots. Methods of applying the compositions for agriculture use are disclosed.
Pharmaceutical, cosmetic and cosmeceutical compositions for topical application, containing, as active ingredients, urea and/or derivatives thereof and alpha-hydroxy acid and/or an ammonium salt thereof, such as ammonium lactate, processes of manufacturing same and use of same in the treatment of medical and cosmetic skin and scalp conditions.

Crystal Structure of H2O2-dependent Cytochrome P450SPα with Its Bound Fatty Acid Substrate
Cytochrome P450(SP alpha) (CYP152B1) isolated from Sphingomonas paucimobilis is the first P450 to be classified as a H2O2-dependent P450. P450(SP alpha) hydroxylates fatty acids with high alpha-regioselectivity. Herein we report the crystal structure of P450(SP alpha) with palmitic acid as a substrate at a resolution of 1.65 angstrom. The structure revealed that the C-alpha of the bound palmitic acid in one of the alternative conformations is 4.5 angstrom from the heme iron. This conformation explains the highly selective alpha-hydroxylation of fatty acid observed in P450(SP alpha). Mutations at the active site and the F-G loop of P450(SP alpha) did not impair its regioselectivity. The crystal structures of mutants (L78F and F288G) revealed that the location of the bound palmitic acid was essentially the same as that in the WT, although amino acids at the active site were replaced with the corresponding amino acids of cytochrome P450(BS alpha) (CYP152A1), which shows beta-regioselectivity. This implies that the high regioselectivity of P450(SP alpha) is caused by the orientation of the hydrophobic channel, which is more perpendicular to the heme plane than that of P450(BS alpha)
