Abstract Biotransformation technology involving enzymatic modification of original substrates by organisms such as microbes is a valuable tool in improving pharmacokinetics or physicochemical properties of the base compounds. The fungal metabolite AS1387392 is a histone deacetylase inhibitor with potential as a therapeutic immunosuppressant. However, its paucity of functional groups, essential to synthesizing derivatives, is a drawback. Amycolatopsis azurea JCM-3275 catalyzed hydroxylation of AS1387392 to AS1429716, which may facilitate the synthesis of more derivatives by the additional hydroxyl moiety present in AS1429716. This reaction was inhibited by cytochrome P450 inhibitor metyrapone, indicating that cytochrome P450 may be responsible for the transformation. Degenerate PCR primers were subsequently constructed and used to clone genes encoding cytochrome P450 from the genomic DNA of A. azurea JCM-3275. We cloned an entire novel P450 gene (1209 bp) and named it P450Um-1. Its deduced amino acid sequence was homologous with that of the CYP105 subfamily. Further cloning of the upstream region, which may contain the native promoter site, was followed by insertion of the open reading frame with the upstream area into Streptomycetes high copy vector pIJ702, giving the expression plasmid pNUm-1. P450Um-1 was specifically expressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24, and this recombinant strain converted AS1387392 to AS1429716 without any redox partners. These results show that P450Um-1, a novel bacterial P450, catalyzed hydroxylation of AS1387392 to AS1429716. This resultant recombinant strain is expected to be an efficient biocatalyst with application to more suitable redox systems than those tested here.
