TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Molecular cloning and characterization of methylenedioxy bridge-forming enzymes involved in stylopine biosynthesis in Eschscholzia californica

(S)-Stylopine is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of benzophe-nanthridine alkaloids, such as sanguinarine. Stylopine biosynthesis involves the sequential formation of two methylenedioxy bridges. Although the methylenedioxy bridge-forming P450 (CYP719) involved in berberine bio-synthesis has been cloned from Coptis japonica[Ikezawa N, Tanaka M, | ỊFEBS Journal Molecular cloning and characterization of methylenedioxy bridge-forming enzymes involved in stylopine biosynthesis in Eschscholzia californica Nobuhiro Ikezawa1 Kinuko Iwasa2 and Fumihiko Sato1 1 Division of Integrated Life Science Graduate Schoolof Biostudies Kyoto University Japan 2 Kobe PharmaceuticalUniversity Japan Keywords alkaloid biosynthesis cytochrome P450 Eschscholzia californica methylenedioxy bridge-forming enzyme stylopine synthase Correspondence F.

Two cytochrome P450 cDNAs involved in stylopine biosynthesis were isolated using degenerate primers designed for C. japonica CYP719 from cultured Esch-scholzia californica cells. Heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisi-ae showed that both CYP719A2 and CYP719A3 had stylopine synthase activity to catalyze methylenedioxy bridge-formation from cheilanthifoline to stylopine but not cheilanthifoline synthase activity to convert scoulerine to cheilanthifoline.
