Abstract

Unlike most of the drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450s, microsomal P450 17A1 and mitochondrial P450 11B2 catalyze sequential multi-step reactions in steroid biosynthesis. The membrane phospholipid composition might be one parameter that modulates the efficiency and processivity of specific pathways. Here we systematically examined the effects of physiologically relevant phospholipids on the catalysis of purified P450 17A1, P450 11B2, and P450 11B1 in reconstituted assay systems. Both dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC, 18:1) and dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC, 12:0) were found to be very efficient in reconstituting 17-hydroxylase and 1720-lyase reactions of P450 17A1. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) specifically enhanced 1720-lyase activity up to 2.4-fold in the presence of phosphatidylcholine. On the other hand, P450 11B2-catalyzed production of aldosterone from 11-deoxycorticosterone was very low and from 18-hydroxycorticosterone nil, implying low processivity. DOPC or cardiolipin, which is exclusively located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, maximized aldosterone yield. In sharp contrast, reconstitution of homologous P450 11B1 with DOPC significantly decreased corticosterone formation without affecting the synthesis of 18-hydroxycorticosterone. The intrinsic fluorescence of P450 17A1 and 11B2 increased in the presence of DOPC, DLPC and PE. Acrylamide quenching studies showed that PE decreased solvent accessibility for tryptophan in P450 17A1, as did 20:4 PC or 18:2 PC for P450 11B2. A moderately positive correlation between the proportion of high-spin substrate-bound species and catalytic activity was only observed in the presence of phosphatidylcholines with low-temperature phase transition. These results demonstrate the potential for phospholipids to regulate the activity of steroidogenic P450 activities and thereby steroid hormone biosynthetic pathways.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Although enzyme function in vitro appears to be similar, clinical observations suggest that patients carrying the P30L allele are somewhat more symptomatic, straddling the border between SV and NC forms of CAH.

    “Although enzyme function in vitro appears to be similar (111), clinical observations suggest that patients carrying the P30L allele are somewhat more symptomatic, straddling the border between SV and NC forms of CAH (213,222).”

    From Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia—Current Insights in Pathophysiology, Diagnostics, and Management (2022) · cites this paper as [111]

    The Results and Discussion passages concern how phospholipids affect P450 17A1 and P450 11B2 activity, not the P30L allele. Searches for P30L, CYP21A2, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia found no passage addressing either comparable in-vitro enzyme function or the clinical severity attributed to P30L carriers. The cited paper's copy therefore does not verify this claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
