A 4.3 kb EcoRI fragment carrying the gene for cytochrome P450meg, the steroid-15 beta-monooxygenase from Bacillus megaterium ATCC 13368, was cloned and completely sequenced. The gene codes for a protein of 410 amino acids and was expressed in Escherichia coli and B. subtilis. Protein extracts from the recombinant E. coli strains were able to hydroxylate corticosteroids in the 15 beta position when supplemented with an extract from a P450- mutant of B. megaterium ATCC 13368 as a source of megaredoxin and megaredoxin reductase. In contrast, 15 beta-hydroxylation was obtained in vitro and in vivo without the addition of external electron transfer proteins, when cytochrome P450meg was produced in B. subtilis 168. Protein extracts from nonrecombinant B. subtilis 168 could also support the in vitro hydroxylation by cytochrome P450meg produced in E. coli.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.

Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
