title: [Heterologous expression of functionally active human cytochrome p-450s. II. Modeling the metabolism of xenobiotics using Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, expressing cytochrome P-450IIIA4].
abstract: cDNA encoding human cytochrome P-450IIIA4 was modified by the PCR method to attain maximum expression in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and then recloned in the shuttle vector pYeDP under the control of galactose-sensitive promoter. The strain transformed this plasmid synthesized in the galactose-containing medium a protein authentic to P-450IIA4 in its spectral properties and enzymatic activity. After subcellular fractionation of the yeast the protein was found in the microsomal fraction which displayed a reduced-CO spectrum with maximum absorption at 448 nm typical of all members of the P-450 family. The microsomes from the transformed yeast catalyzed transformation of nifedipine, a specific substrate for P-450IIA4. Thus, transgenic yeast have been constructed mimicking the catabolic activity of human cytochrome P-450IIIA4.
