Two specific cytochrome P-450 enzymes were detected in cell suspension cultures of Marchantla polymorpha; the first catalyzes the coupling of two molecules of lunularic acid to form marchantin C and CO2 and the second hydroxylates marchantin C to marchantin A. Cell free experiments using H-3/C-14 doubly-labeled substrates demonstrated that lunularic acid: and neither lunularine nor prelunularic acid, is the sole substrate for the coupling reaction. Both enzymes are dependent on the: presence of oxygen and NADPH. Both reactions were inhibited in the presence of CO in the dark; this inhibition was partially reversed by white light. In addition, both reactions were inhibited by typical inhibitors of cytochrome P-450 enzymes such as cytochrome c and ancymidol. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
