High impact information on CYP4F3

  • To elucidate the role of CYP4F-mediated inactivation of LTB(4) in terminating the responses of PMN to LTB(4) and to identify a target for future genetic studies in mice, we have identified the enzyme that catalyzes the omega-1 and omega-2 oxidation of LTB(4) in mouse myeloid cells as CYP4F18 [1].
  • Initially, we analyzed the distribution of CYP4F3 in human leukocytes and determined a lineage-specific pattern of isoform expression [2].
  • We identified distinct transcriptional features in myeloid, lymphoid, and hepatic cells that indicate the presence of multiple promoters in the CYP4F3 gene [2].
  • Alternative splicing determines the function of CYP4F3 by switching substrate specificity [3].
  • We report that the use of alternate exons, each coding for 48 amino acids, generates isoforms of human CYP4F3 that differ in substrate specificity, tissue distribution, and biological function [3].
 

Biological context of CYP4F3

 

Anatomical context of CYP4F3

  • CYP4F3 is the most tissue specific and most efficient LTB4 omega-hydroxylase, judging from its restricted localization in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and its very low Km value for LTB4 [9].
  • Moreover, vicinal diol from both C18-epoxides and EETs were omega-hydroxylated by liver microsomes and by CYP4F2 and CYP4F3 [10].
  • Promoter analysis of the CYP4F3 gene demonstrated that a region (-174/-90) of this gene was important for its promoter activity in the HL60 cells [6].
  • CYP4F3 was expressed in one third of the peripheral monocytes, which omega-hydroxylated leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) at a rate 11 times lower than that of PMN [6].
  • The cells that were differentiated into a form similar to monocytes/macrophages in shape by treatment with 12-myristate 13-acetate expressed mRNA for CYP4F3 and CYP4F3B [6].
 

Associations of CYP4F3 with chemical compounds

  • In a preceding paper (Kikuta et al., 1993), we showed human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) LTB4 omega-hydroxylase to be a novel form of cytochrome P450, designated CYP4F3, on the basis of its cDNA cloning and expression in yeast cells [4].
  • The HL60 cells, which were differentiated into PMN-like shapes by treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid (RA), also expressed CYP4F3, CYP4F3B and CYP4F12 [6].
  • When expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the P450 catalyzes leukotriene B(4) omega-hydroxylation and arachidonic acid omega-hydroxylation, typical reactions of CYP4F isoforms [7].
  • However, the inhibitory effects were only partial (about 20%) and thus it was thought that, although human CYP4F was involved in ebastine hydroxylation, another predominant enzyme exists [11].
  • In this study, we have determined the activities of all of the rat and human CYP4A enzymes and two of the rat CYP4F enzymes, with respect to the omega-hydroxylation of phytanic acid [12].
 

Other interactions of CYP4F3

  • The deduced protein showed 81.2 and 76.7% amino acid identity with the human enzymes CYP4F2 and CYP4F3 [8].
  • This cDNA contains an entire coding region of a 524-amino-acid protein that is 81.7, 78.3, and 78.2% identical to CYP4F2, CYP4F3, and CYP4F8, respectively [7].
  • A cDNA encoding a novel human CYP4F enzyme (designated CYP4F12) was cloned by PCR from a human small intestine cDNA library [7].
  • In addition, treatment of CYP4B1, CYP4F3, and CYP4A5/7 with strong base generated a new, chromatographically distinct, polar heme species with a mass of 632.3 amu rather than 616.2 amu [13].
  • We previously reported the cDNA cloning of a new CYP4F isoform, CYP4F11 [14].
