Homology modelling of Drosophila cytochrome P450 enzymes associated with insecticide resistance

BACKGROUND: Overexpression of the cytochrome P450 gene Cyp6g1 confers resistance against DDT and a broad range of other insecticides in Drosophila melanogaster Meig. In the absence of crystal structures of CYP6G1 or complexes with its substrates, structural studies rely on homology modelling and ligand docking to understand P450–substrate interactions. RESULTS: Homology models are presented for CYP6G1, a P450 associated with resistance to DDT and neonicotinoids, and two other enzymes associated with insecticide resistance in D. melanogaster, CYP12D1 and CYP6A2. The models are based on a template of the X‐ray structure of the phylogenetically related human CYP3A4, which is known for its broad substrate specificity. The model of CYP6G1 has a much smaller active site cavity than the template. The cavity is also ‘V’‐shaped and is lined with hydrophobic residues, showing high shape and chemical complementarity with the molecular characteristics of DDT. Comparison of the DDT–CYP6G1 complex and a non‐resistant CYP6A2 homology model implies that tight‐fit recognition of this insecticide is important in CYP6G1. The active site can accommodate differently shaped substrates ranging from imidacloprid to malathion but not the pyrethroids permethrin and cyfluthrin. CONCLUSION: The CYP6G1, CYP12D1 and CYP6A2 homology models can provide a structural insight into insecticide resistance in flies overexpressing P450 enzymes with broad substrate specificities.

In-vivo effects of 2,4-D and atrazine on cytochrome P-450 and insecticide toxicity in southern armyworm (Spodoptera eridania) larvae

After feeding 2,4-D or atrazine in a diet to southern armyworm (Spodoptera eridania Cram.) larvae for three days, the effect on total content and activities of cytochrome P450 and on insecticide toxicity were determined. Both 2,4-D and atrazine induced cytochrome P450-catalyzed aldrin epoxidation (AE) and methoxyresorufin O-demethylatin (MROD). The 2,4-D was a more potent inducer for total cytochrome P450 content, whereas atrazine disproportionately increased AE. Both compounds increased MROD significantly. The apparent kinetic characteristics of AE indicates that 2,4-D and atrazine induced similar P450 isozymes (K_m 8.78 and 7.80 μM, respectively), which may differ from the constitutive isozyme (K_m 3.14 μM). The 2,4-D-induced cytochrome P450 contributed to decreased carbaryl and permethrin toxicity, whereas the atrazine-induced cytochrome P450 caused decreased parathion and permethrin toxicity. The carbaryl toxicity correlated directly with 2,4-D-induced total P450 content and activities but not with atrazine-induced changes. The 2,4-D and atrazine also induced nonspecific esterase activity which may contribute to permethrin detoxification.     

Piperonyl butoxide-mediated inhibition of cytochrome P450-catalysed insecticide metabolism: a rational approach

The inhibitory effect of piperonyl butoxide (PBO) on cytochrome P450 was studied by theoretical methods. Binding conformations of PBO were obtained by the recently developed low-mode conformational search within the active site of cytochrome P450_cam. Increased activity of PBO relative to other methylendioxyphenyl inhibitors was rationalized by its decreased conformational mobility and the steric block created by its long side-chain in the substrate access channel of the enzyme. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

白背飞虱两个P450基因的克隆、序列分析及杀虫剂胁迫下的表达分析

细胞色素P450属于超基因家族,与昆虫对杀虫剂抗药性产生有重要关系。本文在白背飞虱转录组数据的基础上,克隆到了两个P450基因,分别命名为SfCYP4DE1和SfCYP353D1v2,其分别编码534和471个氨基酸,分子量约为61.567和53.762 kDa,理论等电点为9.18和8.74。结构域分析发现,SfCYP4DE1和SfCYP353D1v2氨基酸序列中均包含5个P450基因共有序列。噻虫嗪、噻嗪酮和阿维菌素的LC₁₀、LC₂₅、LC₅₀和LC₉₀4个不同浓度处理白背飞虱3龄若虫48 h后,采用RT-qPCR技术测定SfCYP4DE1和SfCYP353D1v2两个基因的相对表达量,结果表明：噻虫嗪、噻嗪酮LC₁₀和LC₂₅浓度胁迫后SfCYP4DE1基因相对表达量均显著低于对照组,但随着浓度继续的加大,SfCYP4DE1基因的表达量出现上升的趋势。不同的是,经阿维菌素LC₁₀和LC₂₅浓度胁迫后,SfCYP4DE1基因的表达量均显著高于对照组,且随着浓度增加其表达量升高。与对照组相比,经噻虫嗪不同浓度胁迫后,SfCYP353D1v2基因表达量均呈现出诱导增加的趋势,且LC₁₀、LC₅₀和LC₉₀处理组显著高于对照组。噻嗪酮LC₁₀浓度处理能够显著诱导SfCYP353D1v2基因的表达,但阿维菌素LC₁₀浓度处理下其表达量被显著抑制。另外,以阿维菌素LC₅₀和LC₉₀浓度处理后,SfCYP353D1v2基因的表达量被显著诱导。以上研究结果可为进一步研究白背飞虱P450基因对杀虫剂解毒代谢途径提供基础资料。     

Synergism of insecticidal action and effects on detoxifying enzymes in vivo of lambda-cyhalothrin and malathion by some nitrogen heterocycles in resistant and susceptible strains of Tribolium castaneum

The interactions of the synthetic pyrethroid, lambda-cyhalothrin and malathion were studied with purines, pyrimidines, caffeine and some other related nitrogenous compounds in resistant and susceptible strains of Triboliurn castaneum (Herbst.) The results were compared with those obtained with a known synergist, piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and precocene I. Adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil synergised lambda-cyhalothrin, especially in the susceptible strain, with maximum effect at a 1:1 mass ratio, with the effect decreasing with increasing proportion of the heterocycle. The order of synergism of lambda-cyhalothrin was; precocene I > PBO > the nitrogenous compounds, in both resistant and susceptible strains. On the other hand, caffeine (lethal effect increased about twice), barbital (about twice), isobarbituric acid (less than twice) and bromacil (up to eight times) synergised malathion in malathion-resistant strains and antagonised in the susceptible strains. Total in-vivo esterases, carbox-ylesterases and cytochrome P₄₅₀ of susceptible and resistant strains showed significantly increased activity or content when treated with either insecticide plus a heterocyclic compound. Exceptions were with bromacil and malathion and for the malathion-specific strain, Kano-C with malathion and the N-heterocycles.     

The basis for the safening of clomazone by phorate insecticide in cotton and inhibitors of cytochrome P450s

Clomazone may be safely used in cotton to manage weeds when applied following treatments of the organophosphate insecticides phorate or disulfoton. The loss of chlorophyll and carotenoids with 6 days of 100 nM clomazone treatment of cotton seedlings was partially prevented with phorate in hydroponic solution in a rate-dependent manner. In a study to examine the timing of safening from a one-day clomazone (100 nM) treatment, maximum safening was achieved when phorate (50 μM) was applied the same day as clomazone. Phorate decreased metabolism of ¹⁴C-clomazone to polar metabolites in excised cotton shoots and shoots of intact cotton plants. Microsomal studies of corn shoots showed an NADPH-dependent/cytochrome P450 reaction was inhibited by phorate. Additional studies with corn microsomes, corn seedlings and cotton seedlings supported the basis of clomazone safening is the inhibition of toxic clomazone metabolism by P450 inhibitors.     

The use of cytochrome P450 genes to introduce herbicide tolerance in crops: a review

Mechanisms of herbicide resistance include (1) modified target site, (2) enhanced detoxification or delayed activation, and (3) alterations in the uptake, translocation, or compartmentalization of a herbicide. The first two mechanisms have mainly been identified in plants. Herbicide resistance genes were isolated for several herbicides of different modes of action. Genes that coded for herbicide target or detoxification enzymes were transferred into crop plants. The transgenic plants expressing these genes were tolerant of the active ingredients of herbicides. Before commercialization, the transgenic plants were tested in the field for risk assessment. In the case of crops with herbicide detoxification enzymes, including cytochrome-P450-species-metabolizing xenobiotics, the substrate specificity of the enzymes as well as the toxicological properties of the herbicide metabolites and the pattern of secondary metabolites in plants must be evaluated. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
