Human Cytochrome CYP17A1: The Structural Basis for Compromised Lyase Activity with 17-Hydroxyprogesterone

Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

The multifunctional enzyme, cytochrome P450 (CYP17A1), plays a crucial role in the production of androgens, catalyzing two key reactions on pregnenolone (PREG) and progesterone (PROG), the first being a 17-hydroxylation to generate 17-OH PREG and 17-OH PROG, with roughly equal efficiencies. The second is a C-C bond scission or "lyase" reaction in which the C17-C20 bond is cleaved, leading to the eventual production of powerful androgens, whose involvement in the proliferation of prostate cancer has generated intense interest in developing inhibitors of CYP17A1. For humans, the significance of the C-C bond cleavage of 17-OH PROG is lessened, because it is about 50 times less efficient than for 17-OH PREG in terms of kcat/Km. Recognizing the need to clarify relevant reaction mechanisms involved with such transformations, we first report studies of solvent isotope effects, results of which are consistent with a Compound I mediated PROG hydroxylase activity, yet exclude this intermediate as a participant in the formation of androstenedione (AD) via the lyase reaction. This finding is also supported by a combination of cryoreduction and resonance Raman spectroscopy that traps and structurally characterizes the key hemiketal reaction...Continue Reading

Biosynthetic Transformations

Biosyntheic transformtions are multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. Simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined together to form macromolecules. Discover the latest research on biosynthetic transformations here.
