Cytochrome P450 enzymes are a major class of biocatalysts related to the oxidative metabolism of many drugs, assisted by electron transfer partners. The functional expression of the P450 gene in a heterologous host will lead to efficient biotransformation and biodegradation, which are useful in pharmaceutical improvement or environmental cleanup. The soluble cytochrome P450 monooxygenase systems CYP105D1 and CYP107B1 involved in the biotransformation of some xenobiotics, such as secondary metabolites or environmental pollutants, were expressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24 with the Streptomyces expression vector pIJ6021. In whole-cell biotransformation assay using these recombinant strains, the oxidative dealkylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin was detected without any foreign redox partners in the case of CYP107B1, while the activity of CYP105D1 was not monitored until this gene was coexpressed with the ferredoxin gene located downstream of the CYP105D1 gene, and the ferredoxin reductase gene SCF 15.02 from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(II). This result suggests that CYP107B1 is capable of utilizing an endogenous electron transfer partner from the host but not CYP105D1, and that CYP105D1 is complemented by some redox partner imported from closely related strains.
