ABSTRACT 1

A functional library of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases from Aspergillus oryzae 2

(AoCYPs) was constructed, in which 121 isoforms were co-expressed with yeast 3

NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using this 4

functional library, novel catalytic functions of AoCYPs, such as catalytic potentials of 5

CYP57B3 against genistein, were elucidated for the first time. Comprehensive 6

functional screening promises rapid characterization of catalytic potentials and utility of 7

AoCYPs. 8

Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) constitute a large superfamily of heme-containing 1

monooxygenases, that are distributed among a wide variety of organisms. An 2

evolutionary history of extensive divergence from a common ancestor is implied (14, 20, 3

28). The majority of CYPs are highly specialized and play crucial roles in meeting the 4

metabolic requirements of particular organisms. They are involved in secondary 5

metabolic pathways such as detoxification of xenobiotics and synthesis of secondary 6

metabolites (9, 30). Over the last few years, the sequence database of CYPs has greatly 7

enlarged, and continues to increase (27, 31). A compilation of CYP sequences would 8

facilitate understanding of metabolic diversity and evolutionary history among living 9

organisms. In addition to their biological importance, the catalytic functions of CYPs 10

are of great interest to those involved in biotechnology (4, 5, 8, 13, 16, 42). Biocatalytic 11

regiospecific and stereospecific oxidations by CYPs attract much attention in industry 12

because (i) use of biocatalysts allows reduction in the number of tedious steps such as 13

blocking and deblocking that are common in conventional chemical synthesis, (ii) a 14

single product without by-product formation reduces the cost of downstream 15

purification steps, and (iii) enantiomeric mixtures (rather than racemic mixtures) are 16

strictly required in some fields such as the pharmaceutical industry (12, 33, 39, 42). 17

Therefore, a rational comprehensive approach towards elucidating catalytic potentials 18

and utilities of CYPs is required to develop bioindustrial applications (8, 19, 34). 19

A wide variety of filamentous fungi are used to produce economically valuable 20

consumer items. The filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae is one of the most widely 21

utilized microorganisms. It has been used for more than 1000 years in Japanese 22

fermentation industries to produce indigenous products such as sake (rice wine), miso 23

(soybean paste), and shoyu (soy sauce). Besides traditional fermentation technologies, 24

much recent research into A. oryzae has focused on production of recombinant enzymes 1

and primary and secondary metabolites (1, 40). The whole genome of A. oryzae has 2

been sequenced and is available to the public (21). Genomic data have potential to 3

provide a more thorough understanding of metabolic diversity and capability of A. 4

oryzae. Recently, we identified 155 genes including 13 putative pseudogenes of A. 5

oryzae CYPs (AoCYPs), and cloned 121 full-length cDNAs encoding an open reading 6

frame (25). Molecular and functional diversity of AoCYPs is presumably important to 7

the metabolic capability of this fungus; however, biological functions and catalytic 8

potentials remain obscure. A rational approach to find and exploit catalytic potentials of 9

various CYP enzymes would facilitate a myriad of biocatalytic processes. In this study, 10

we have aimed to develop a functional screening system for AoCYPs and to increase 11

understanding of their functional information. 12

Heterologous expression of AoCYPs. Using the isolated cDNAs, we attempted 13

to express recombinant enzymes for a functional screening system of AoCYPs. For 14

catalytic activity, CYPs must be associated with electron transfer systems providing 15

reducing equivalents. Thus, systematic production of both CYPs and their redox 16

partner(s) would be important to facilitate comprehensive functional screening (19, 34). 17

In this study, we employed S. cerevisiae as a host strain for heterologous expression 18

because (i) a yeast expression system seemed appropriate to obtain recombinant 19

eukaryotic CYP without genetic engineering of cDNA, (ii) S. cerevisiae has only three 20

CYP genes and their catalytic functions are well characterized (26), and (iii) S. 21

cerevisiae is potentially useful for industrial applications as well as basic research. In 22

addition, cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CPR) from S. cerevisiae is capable of 23

donating reducing equivalents for various CYPs. It has been shown that a wide variety 24

5

of eukaryotic CYPs including Aspergillus spp. could be functional with CPR from S. 1

cerevisiae (3, 23, 24, 32). Presumably, eukaryotic CYPs can exhibit catalytic activities 2

with a heterologous CPR. Therefore, we constructed a yeast co-expression system of 3

AoCYP and yeast CPR using pGYR vector (24, 35, 36; see also the supplemental 4

material and methods). To elucidate heterologous expression of AoCYPs, we analyzed 5

the CO-difference spectrum of S. cerevisiae cells harboring the expression plasmid (29). 6

Figure 1 depicts a CO-difference spectrum of CYP628C1 expressed in S. cerevisiae. No 7

peak was observed around 450 nm from a transformant harboring a plasmid without an 8

AoCYP, indicating that the recombinant AoCYP enzyme was successfully expressed in 9

S. cerevisiae in an active form. These results also implied that endogenous CYPs of S. 10

cerevisiae did not interfere with spectroscopic analysis of recombinant AoCYPs due to 11

their low levels of expression in this host strain (2). We have confirmed significant 12

expression of 84 AoCYPs based upon CO-difference spectra. 13

Comprehensive functional screening of AoCYPs. To develop a functional 14

screening system, each transformant was separately inoculated into 0.5 mL culture 15

medium and grown in 96 DeepWell plates (supplemental materials and methods). 16

Transformants accommodated in the 96-well plates were easily replicated and used for 17

further experiments. To validate potential utility of the screening system, we initiated a 18

functional survey using 7-ethoxycoumarin as a tentative model substrate. After 2 days 19

incubation, significant product formation was achieved by S. cerevisiae harboring 20

expression plasmids of CYP57B3, CYP62C2, CYP68Q1, CYP531E1, CYP620G1, 21

CYP620H1, CYP620H3, CYP620H9, CYP628C1, CYP675A2, CYP5061B5, 22

CYP5078A5, and CYP5080B2. The product was identified as 7-hydroxycoumarin by 23

comparison of the retention time on HPLC with an authentic standard (Fig. 2). 24

Moreover, several AoCYPs such as 5061B5 yielded minor unidentified product(s), in 1

addition to the formation of 7-hydroxycoumarin (Fig. 2). Although further information 2

should aim to elucidate their biochemical and biophysical properties, it can be 3

hypothesized that the natural substrate(s) of these AoCYPs might be structurally related 4

to coumarin, such as polyketide derivatives. It is thus a good example that 5

non-target-driven screening would provide new insight into the fascinating biology and 6

metabolic processes of A. oryzae. Interestingly, catalytic conversion of 7

7-ethoxycoumarin to 7-hydroxycoumarin was clearly demonstrated by the transformant 8

harboring CYP5080B2 expression plasmid; nevertheless, we could not confirm its 9

expression by CO-difference spectrum. Such observation was also found from several 10

AoCYPs using different substrates. Combining the results of spectroscopic analysis and 11

bioconversion, we could conclude that at least 92 AoCYPs were functionalized in S. 12

cerevisiae. These results highlight the potential utility of our screening system. 13

Using the functional screening system, we further carried out targeted functional 14

screening of AoCYP to produce value-added isoflavonoids. Genistein is one of the 15

major isoflavonoids found in soybean. Because of its biological and pharmacological 16

activities, genistein derivatives are likely to have various useful applications (6, 10, 11, 17

15, 17, 41). When genistein was utilized as a substrate, significant product formations 18

were achieved by S. cerevisiae expressing CYP57B3 (Fig. 3). Incorporation of a 19

hydroxyl group was clearly demonstrated by LC-ESI-MS analysis (data not shown). 20

Based upon 1H-NMR spectroscopic analysis, products were identified as 8-hydroxy-, 21

6-hydroxy-, and 3’-hydroxygenistein (Fig. 4). To the best of our knowledge, this is the 22

first report describing catalytic activities of CYP57B3 against genistein and suggesting 23

its possible roles in production of hydroxygenistein during soybean fermentation 24

processes (6, 11). Based on sequence comparison, CYP57B3 seems phylogenetically 1

close to a CYP from the plant pathogen Nectria haematococca; a fungus involved in 2

biodegradation of phytoalexin pisatin (22). Although it is still unclear whether 3

CYP57B3 exhibits catalytic activities against pisatin, it may play a biological role in the 4

metabolism of phytoalexins with isoflavone skeletons. Biological and pharmacological 5

potentials of the products have also been reported. 8-Hydroxygenistein shows much 6

stronger antioxidative activity than genistein (11) and exhibits antiproliferative activity 7

against cancer cells (15). 3’-Hydroxygenistein, known as orobol, exhibits unique 8

pharmacological activities such as enhancing sensitivity of human ovarian carcinoma 9

cells against the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel (17), and inhibiting human 10

immunodeficiency virus 1 integrase (41). Although hydroxylated genistein can be 11

isolated from natural products including fermented products, these natural compounds 12

are limited in supply and problematic for practical utilization. Because the synthesis of 13

isoflavones remains an important object (10, 37), it would be of great interest to utilize 14

CYP57B3 for production of value-added rare isoflavonoids from genistein. However, 15

further research efforts should aim to improve conversion efficiency for practical 16

application. It has been reported that reaction efficiency can be influenced by redox 17

partner(s) such that native combination of CYP-CPR from a same organism shows 18

slightly better functionality than heterologous combination and several monooxygenase 19

reactions are coupled with cytochrome b5 (7, 18, 30, 38). Further investigation and 20

possible re-engineering of CYP57B3 and its redox partner(s) should facilitate 21

systematic understanding for the biotechnology sector. 22

Through functional screening, the novel activities of AoCYPs were experimentally 23

explored using a series of compounds such as flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, and 24

pharmaceutical chemicals (Table). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report 1

experimentally demonstrating functional diversity of Aspergillus CYP. The functional 2

screening system promises rapid and comprehensive characterization of the catalytic 3

potential of AoCYPs, which would further provide novel insight into the biology and 4

biotechnology. In this study, we have focused on the catalytic capability of CYP57B3 to 5

produce value-added hydroxylated products from genistein. However, the screening 6

system should be applicable for a myriad of compounds, and facilitate investigation in 7

industrial and biological fields. Thorough understanding of AoCYP functions will open 8

the door for advanced fungal biology and biotechnology. 9
