Functional expression of cinnamate 4-hydroxylase from Ammi majus L.
Hubner S., Hehmann M., Schreiner S., Martens S., Lukacin R., Matern U.
Total RNA was isolated from dark-grown cell suspension cultures of Ammi majus L. that had been induced with fungal elicitor or treated with water for control and used as template with cytochrome P450-specific primers for DD-RT-PCR amplifications.

Total RNA was isolated from dark-grown cell suspension cultures of Ammi majus L. that had been induced with fungal elicitor or treated with water for control and used as template with cytochrome P450-specific primers for DD-RT-PCR amplifications. A cDNA clone was generated from the elicited transcripts and assigned to cinnamate 4-monooxygenase based on sequence alignments and functional expression in yeast cells. Comparison of the translated polypeptide with database accessions of heterologous cytochrome P450 monooxygenases revealed a high degree of similarity (99.6%) with 98.6% identity to cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase from parsley, documenting the close evolutionary relationship within the Apiaceae family. Maximal activity of the Ammi hydroxylase in yeast microsomes was determined at 25 degrees C and in the pH range of 6.5-7.0 reaching 2.5 pkat/mg on average. An apparent K(m) of 8.9 microM was determined for cinnamate. Preincubations with psoralen or 8-methoxypsoralen added up to 100 microM in the presence or absence of NADPH hardly affected the turnover rate. A. majus cell cultures accumulate sets of O-prenylated umbelliferones and linear furanocoumarins besides lignin-like compounds upon treatment with elicitor, and cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase catalyzes the initial reaction leading from the general into the various phenylpropanoid branch pathways. Correspondingly, the hydroxylase transcript abundance was induced in the elicited cells. << Less

Induction of two prenyltransferases for the accumulation of coumarin phytoalexins in elicitor-treated Ammi majus cell suspension cultures.
Hamerski D., Schmitt D., Matern U.
Two dimethylallyl diphosphate:umbelliferone dimethylallyltransferase (prenyltransferase) activities, catalysing the 6-prenylation and the 7-O-prenylation, respectively, of umbelliferone in the course of phytoalexin synthesis, increased in Ammi majus cell suspension cultures in response to elicitor ... >> More
Two dimethylallyl diphosphate:umbelliferone dimethylallyltransferase (prenyltransferase) activities, catalysing the 6-prenylation and the 7-O-prenylation, respectively, of umbelliferone in the course of phytoalexin synthesis, increased in Ammi majus cell suspension cultures in response to elicitor treatment. Both enzyme activities were dependent on Mg2+ or Mn2+ with significant preference for Mg2+ in the 6-prenylation reaction. Whereas dark-grown cells did not contain these activities, both prenyltransferase activities were induced rapidly by the addition of elicitor reaching a first maximum after 10-14 hr and a second maximum beyond 30 hr. Other coumarin specific, elicitor-induced enzyme activities of A. majus cells, in contrast, showed only one maximum of activity within the 50 hr experimental period, while the pattern of induction of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity resembled that of the prenyltransferases with maxima at ca 8 hr and 20-30 hr. Preliminary data suggest that the apparent biphasic induction of these enzyme activities is due to post-translational enzyme modifications. << Less

Furanocoumarins constitute a sub-family of coumarin compounds with important defense properties against pathogens and insects, as well as allelopathic functions in plants. Furanocoumarins are divided into two sub-groups according to the alignment of the furan ring with the lactone structure: linear psoralen and angular angelicin derivatives. Determination of furanocoumarin type is based on the prenylation position of the common precursor of all furanocoumarins, umbelliferone, at C6 or C8, which gives rise to the psoralen or angelicin derivatives, respectively. Here, we identified a membrane-bound prenyltransferase PcPT from parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and characterized the properties of the gene product. PcPT expression in various parsley tissues is increased by UV irradiation, with a concomitant increase in furanocoumarin production. This enzyme has strict substrate specificity towards umbelliferone and dimethylallyl diphosphate, and a strong preference for the C6 position of the prenylated product (demethylsuberosin), leading to linear furanocoumarins. The C8-prenylated derivative (osthenol) is also formed, but to a much lesser extent. The PcPT protein is targeted to the plastids in planta. Introduction of this PcPT into the coumarin-producing plant Ruta graveolens showed increased consumption of endogenous umbelliferone. Expression of PcPT and a 4-coumaroyl CoA 2'-hydroxylase gene in Nicotiana benthamiana, which does not produce furanocoumarins, resulted in formation of demethylsuberosin, indicating that furanocoumarin production may be reconstructed by a metabolic engineering approach. The results demonstrate that a single prenyltransferase, such as PcPT, opens the pathway to linear furanocoumarins in parsley, but may also catalyze the synthesis of osthenol, the first intermediate committed to the angular furanocoumarin pathway, in other plants. << Less
