Abstract

The flavin-containing monooxygenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yFMO) uses NADPH and O₂ to oxidize thiol containing substrates such as GSH and thereby generates the oxidizing potential for the ER. The enzyme uses NADPH 12 times more efficiently than NADH. Amino acid sequence analysis suggests that Lys 219 and/or Lys 227 may act as counterions to the 2′ phosphate of NADPH and to help determine the preference for pyridine nucleotides. Site directed mutations show that Lys 219 makes the greater contribution to cosubstrate recognition. Conversion of Lys 219 to Ala reduces NADPH dependent activity 90-fold, but has no effect on NADH-dependent activity. Conversion of Lys 227 to Ala reduces NADPH-dependent activity fivefold and NADH-dependent activity threefold. Dissociation constants for NADP⁺ to oxidized yFMO were measured spectroscopically. K_d is 12 μM for the wild-type enzyme and 243 μM for the K219A mutant, consistent with the role of Lys 219 in pyridine nucleotide binding.

Role of yeast flavin-containing monooxygenase in maintenance of thiol-disulfide redox potential
2002, Methods in Enzymology
Yeast flavin-containing monooxygenase (yFMO) is localized on the cytoplasmic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and uses NADPH and oxygen to oxidize the cellular thiols glutathione (GSH), cysteamine, and cysteine. Although the concentration of the latter two thiols required to half-saturate yFMO far exceeds their cellular concentrations, the redox potential for GSH is close to its concentration in yeast. The disulphide form of GSH (GSSG) can permeate into the lumen of isolated microsomal fragments. The oxidizing equivalents generated by yFMO influence the redox potential of the ER. yFMO is required for the correct folding of disulfide bond-containing proteins, as seen by the use of a gene deletion yeast strain. Proper refolding can be restored by expression yFMO on a plasmid. This chapter describes the components required to determine the redox status in the cells in the context of yFMO activity.
Regulation of catalytic activity of a multifunctional polyketide biosynthetic enzyme, 6-hydroxymellein synthase, by interaction between NADPH and phenylglyoxal-sensitive amino acid residue at the reaction center
2001, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology
Treatment of 6-hydroxymellein synthase, a multifunctional polyketide biosynthetic enzyme in carrot cells, with phenylglyoxal yielded a chemically modified protein in which approximately two moles of the reagent were covalently attached to each subunit of the enzyme. Only NADH- but not NADPH-associated form of native 6-hydroxymellein synthase was inhibited by cerulenin; however, the NADPH–synthase complex lost the insensitivity by the chemical modification of the enzyme protein with phenylglyoxal. Appreciable differences in K_m values observed between the NADPH- and NADH-associated enzymes were greatly reduced by the treatment with phenylglyoxal. Although the catalytic activity of the NADPH-associated synthase was enhanced by the addition of free CoA, the compound exhibited a significant inhibitory activity to the phenylglyoxal-modified enzyme. A marked deuterium isotope effect in the catalytic reaction of the native synthase–NADPH complex was appreciably decreased in the chemically modified enzyme. These results strongly suggest that an electrostatic interaction between the phosphate group attached to the 2′-position of adenosyl moiety of NADPH and the phenylglyoxal-sensitive amino acid residue, probably arginine, at the reaction center of 6-hydroxymellein synthase regulates several biochemical properties of this multifunctional enzyme.
Role of reducing co-factors in catalytic reactions of 6-hydroxymellein synthase, a multifunctional polyketide biosynthetic enzyme in carrot cells
2000, Plant Science
6-Hydroxymellein (6HM) synthase, a multifunctional polyketide biosynthetic enzyme in carrot cells, is capable of catalyzing the acyl-CoA condensation and the ketoreduction in the presence of the nucleotide reducing co-factors. Although free CoA at high concentrations functioned as the activator of the NADPH-dependent 6HM formation, the compound exhibited an appreciable inhibitory activity toward the reaction mediated by NADH. CoA showed a potent inhibitory activity against substrate entry into the reaction center of the NADH-associated enzyme while, in the presence of NADPH, the compound slightly inhibited the formation of the acylated enzyme. The catalytic rate of the synthase was appreciably decreased when NADPH was replaced by the deuterium-labeled compound, however, the kH/kD value was markedly reduced if NADH and [D]NADH were employed as the reducing co-factors. These results suggest that the phosphate group attached to 2'-position of the adenosyl moiety of NADPH associated with the ketoreducing domain of 6HM synthase plays an important role in the regulation of the enzyme activity.
Redox regulation of yeast flavin-containing monooxygenase
2000, Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics
The flavin-dependent monooxygenase from yeast (yFMO) oxidizes biological thiols such as cysteine, cysteamine, and glutathione. The enzyme makes a major contribution to the pools of oxidized thiols that, together with reduced glutathione from glutathione reductase, create the optimum cellular redox environment. We show that the activity of yFMO, as a soluble enzyme or in association with the ER membrane of microsomal fractions, is correlated with the redox potential. The enzyme is active under conditions normally found in the cytoplasm, but is inhibited as GSSG accumulates to give a redox potential similar to that found in the lumen of the ER. Site-directed mutations show that Cys 353 and Cys 339 participate in the redox regulation. Cys 353 is the principal residue in the redox-sensitive switch. We hypothesize that it may initiate formation of a mixed disulfide that is partially inhibitory to yFMO. The mixed disulfide may exchange with Cys 339 to form an intramolecular disulfide bond that is fully inhibitory.
