    Notes: Abstract  Introduction in the fungus Aspergillus niger of multiple copies of the A. niger bphA gene, encoding the cytochrome P450 enzyme benzoate p-hydroxylase, did not result in increased activities of this enzyme [Gorcom RFM van, et al. Mol Gen Genet (1990) 223: 192–197] probably because of low expression levels of the gene encoding the second component of the microsomal cytochrome P450 enzyme system, cytochrome P450 reductase. For improvement of this and other cytochrome-P450-dependent reactions, A. niger strains were constructed in which the copy number of the A. niger cprA gene (encoding cytochrome-P450 reductase) or the copy numbers of both cprA and the cytochrome-P450-encoding gene were increased. Expression of both genes was controlled by their own transcription control regions. Benzoate p-hydroxylase activity of different trans- formants was determined in microsomal fractions using a newly developed indirect in vitro assay. In trans- formants containing multiple copies of both genes, benzoate p-hydroxylase activity was significantly higher than in the wild-type strain or in transform- ants in which the copy number of only one of the genes was increased. These results clearly indicate the importance of co-expression of cytochrome-P450 reductase for achieving maximal cytochrome P450 activities in cytochrome-P450-overproducing filamentous fungi.

    Notes: Abstract  The CYP51 gene encoding eburicol 14α-demethylase (P45014DM) was cloned from a genomic library of the filamentous fungal plant pathogen Penicillium italicum, by heterologous hybridisation with the corresponding gene encoding lanosterol 14α-demethylase from the yeast Candida tropicalis. The nucleotide sequence of a 1739-bp genomic fragment and the corresponding cDNA clone comprises an open reading frame (ORF) of 1545 bp, encoding a protein of 515 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 57.3 kDa. The ORF is interrupted by three introns of 60, 72 and 62 bp. The C-terminal part of the protein includes a characteristic haem-binding domain, HR2, common to all P450 genes. The deduced P. italicum P45014DM protein and the P45014DM proteins from Candida albicans, C. tropicalis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae share 47.2, 47.0 and 45.8% amino acid sequence identity. Therefore, the cloned gene is classified as a member of the CYP51 family. Multiple copies of a genomic DNA fragment of P. italicum containing the cloned P450 gene were introduced into Aspergillus niger by transformation. Transformants were significantly less sensitive to fungicides which inhibit P45014DM activity, indicating that the cloned gene encodes a functional eburicol 14α-demethylase.
