ABSTRACT
Three cytochrome P450 monooxygenase
CYP52
gene family members were isolated from the sophorolipid-producing yeast
Starmerella bombicola
(former
Candida bombicola
), namely,
CYP52E3
,
CYP52M1
, and
CYP52N1
, and their open reading frames were cloned into the pYES2 vector for expression in
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
. The functions of the recombinant proteins were analyzed with a variety of alkane and fatty acid substrates using microsome proteins or a whole-cell system. CYP52M1 was found to oxidize C
16
to C
20
fatty acids preferentially. It converted oleic acid (C
18:1
) more efficiently than stearic acid (C
18:0
) and linoleic acid (C
18:2
) and much more effectively than α-linolenic acid (C
18:3
). No products were detected when C
10
to C
12
fatty acids were used as the substrates. Moreover, CYP52M1 hydroxylated fatty acids at their ω- and ω-1 positions. CYP52N1 oxidized C
14
to C
20
saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and preferentially oxidized palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid. It only catalyzed ω-hydroxylation of fatty acids. Minor ω-hydroxylation activity against myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, and oleic acid was shown for CYP52E3. Furthermore, the three P450s were coassayed with glucosyltransferase UGTA1. UGTA1 glycosylated all hydroxyl fatty acids generated by CYP52E3, CYP52M1, and CYP52N1. The transformation efficiency of fatty acids into glucolipids by CYP52M1/UGTA1 was much higher than those by CYP52N1/UGTA1 and CYP52E3/UGTA1. Taken together, CYP52M1 is demonstrated to be involved in the biosynthesis of sophorolipid, whereas CYP52E3 and CYP52N1 might be involved in alkane metabolism in
S. bombicola
but downstream of the initial oxidation steps.

饱和及不饱和脂肪酸,并优先氧化棕榈酸、油酸和亚油酸。它只催化脂肪酸的ω-羟基化。CYP52E3 对肉豆蔻酸、棕榈酸、棕榈油酸和油酸的ω-羟化活性较小。此外,还对这三种 P450 与葡萄糖基转移酶 UGTA1 进行了共同测定。UGTA1 对 CYP52E3、CYP52M1 和 CYP52N1 产生的所有羟基脂肪酸进行糖基化。CYP52M1/UGTA1 将脂肪酸转化为糖脂的效率远远高于 CYP52N1/UGTA1 和 CYP52E3/UGTA1。综上所述,CYP52M1 被证明参与了槐脂的生物合成,而 CYP52E3 和 CYP52N1 则可能参与了烷烃的代谢。
