| Abstract | Cytochrome P-450TYR, which catalyzes the N-hydroxylation of L-tyrosine in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench has recently been isolated (Sibbesen, O., Koch, B., Halkier, B. A., and Møller, B. L. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 92, 9740-9744). Reconstitution of the enzyme activity in lipid micelles containing cytochrome P-450TYR and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase demonstrates that cytochrome P-450TYR catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine into p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime. Earlier studies with microsomes have demonstrated that this conversion involves two N-hydroxylation reactions of which the first produces N-hydroxytyrosine. We propose that the product of the second N-hydroxylation reaction is N,N-dihydroxytyrosine. N,N-dihydroxytyrosine is dehydrated to 2-nitroso-3-(p-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid which decarboxylates to p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime. The dehydration and decarboxylation reactions may proceed non-enzymatically. The E/Z ratio of the p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime produced by reconstituted cytochrome P-450TYR is 69:31. Lipid micelles made from L-α-dilauroyl phosphatidylcholine are more than twice as effective in reconstituting cytochrome P-450TYR activity as compared to other lipids. The Km and turnover number of the enzyme is 0.14 mM and 200 min−1, respectively, when assayed in the presence of 15 mM NaCl whereas the values are 0.21 mM and 230 min−1 when assayed in the absence of added salt. The multifunctional nature cytochrome P-450TYR is confirmed by demonstrating that binding of L-tyrosine or N-hydroxytyrosine mutually excludes binding of the other substrate. These results explain why the conversion of tyrosine to p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime as earlier reported (Møller, B. L., and Conn, E. E.(1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 3049-3056) shows the phenomenon of catalytic facilitation (“channeling”). Cytochrome P-450TYR is the first isolated multifunctional heme-thiolate enzyme from plants. N-Hydroxylases of the cytochrome P-450 type with high substrate specificity have not previously been reported. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
