Functional characterization of (S)-N-methylcoclaurine 3'-hydroxylase (NMCH) involved in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in Corydalis yanhusuo

Plant Physiol Biochem 2021 Nov;168:507-515.PMID:34757301DOI:10.1016/j.plaphy.2021.09.042.

Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are compounds naturally found in plants and can have significant value in clinical settings. Metabolic engineering and synthetic biology are both promising approaches for the heterologous acquisition of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids. (S)-N-methylcoclaurine 3'-hydroxylase (NMCH), a member of the CYP80 family of CYP450, is the penultimate catalytic enzyme that forms the central branch-point intermediate (S)-reticuline and plays a key role in the biosynthesis of BIAs. In this study, an NMCH gene was cloned from Corydalis yanhusuo, while in vitro reactions demonstrated that CyNMCH can catalyze (S)-N-methylcoclaurine to produce (S)-3'-hydroxy-N-methylcoclaurine. The Km and Kcat of CyNMCH were estimated and compared with those identified in Eschscholzia californica and Coptis japonica. This newly discovered CyNMCH will provide alternative genetic resources for the synthetic biological production of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and provides a foundation to help analyze the biosynthetic pathway of BIAs biosynthesis in C. yanhusuo.

Molecular cloning and functional heterologous expression of two alleles encoding (S)-N-methylcoclaurine 3'-hydroxylase (CYP80B1), a new methyl jasmonate-inducible cytochrome P-450-dependent mono-oxygenase of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis

Plant J 1998 Mar;13(6):793-801.PMID:9681018DOI:10.1046/j.1365-313x.1998.00085.x.

Alkaloids derived from the tetrahydrobenzylisoquinoline alkaloid (S)-N-methylcoclaurine represent a vast and varied structural array of physiologically active molecules. These compounds range from the dimeric bisbenzylisoquinolines, such as the muscle relaxant (+)-tubocurarine, to the powerful anaesthetic opiate morphine, the antimicrobial berberine and the anti-microbial benzo[c]-phenanthridine sanguinarine. The 3'-hydroxylation of (S)-N-methylcoclaurine is a branch point that is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of the central alkaloidal intermediate (S)-reticuline. This study identified this enzyme as a cytochrome P-450-dependent mono-oxygenase that has until now eluded attempts at identification using in vitro enzyme assays. Two alleles encoding this new enzyme (S)-N-methylcoclaurine 3'-hydroxylase (CYP80B1) were isolated from a cDNA library prepared from poly(A)+ RNA isolated from methyl jasmonate-induced cell-suspension cultures of the California poppy Eschscholzia californica. Partial clones generated by RT-PCR with cytochrome P-450-specific primers were used as hybridization probes. RNA gel-blot hybridization indicated that the transcripts for CYP80B1 accumulate in response to the addition of methyl jasmonate to the cell culture medium. Both alleles were functionally expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells in the presence and absence of the E. californica cytochrome P-450 reductase. The enzyme was found to hydroxylate exclusively (S)-N-methylcoclaurine with a pH optimum of 7.5, temperature optimum of 35 degrees C and K(m) of 15 microns. In addition to the CYP80B1 alleles, another cytochrome P-450 with an inducible transcript (CYP82B1) was isolated and expressed in the same manner, but was not found to be involved in alkaloid biosynthesis in this plant.

Identification and characterization of methyltransferases involved in benzylisoquinoline alkaloids biosynthesis from Stephania intermedia

Biotechnol Lett 2020 Mar;42(3):461-469.PMID:31865477DOI:10.1007/s10529-019-02785-0.

Objectives: To characterize methyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in Stephania intermedia. Results: Three N-methyltransferases, SiCNMT1, SiCNMT2, SiCNMT3, and O-methyltransferase SiSOMT were identified in Stephania intermedia. Then, four methyltransferase genes were cloned into the pGEX-6P-1 vector. The recombinant vectors were transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) for expression and were functionally tested. SiCNMT1, SiCNMT2, and SiCNMT3 could methylate (R)-coclaurine to produce (R)-N-methylcoclaurine. SiCNMT2 further methylated the product of (R)-N-methylcoclaurine to produce (R)-magnocurarine. Similarly, (R)-norcoclaurine was continuously catalyzed to yield (R)-N-methylnorcoclaurine and (R)-N, N-dimethylnorcoclaurine by SiCNMT2. Furthermore, SiSOMT was shown to catalyze the conversion of (S)-scoulerine to (S)-tetrahydropalmatine. Conclusions: The key methyltransferases, which were in the last step biosynthesis of (R)-magnocurarine, (R)-N, N-dimethylnorcoclaurine and (S)-tetrahydropalmatine were revealed and their activities were verified in vitro. Four novel methyltransferases will be promising candidates for methylation of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.

A single residue determines substrate preference in benzylisoquinoline alkaloid N-methyltransferases

Phytochemistry 2020 Feb;170:112193.PMID:31765874DOI:10.1016/j.phytochem.2019.112193.

N-methylation is a recurring feature in the biosynthesis of many plant specialized metabolites, including alkaloids. A crucial step in the conserved central pathway that provides intermediates for the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) involves conversion of the secondary amine (S)-coclaurine into the tertiary amine (S)-N-methylcoclaurine by coclaurine N-methyltransferase (CNMT). Subsequent enzymatic steps yield the core intermediate (S)-reticuline, from which various branch pathways for the biosynthesis of major BIAs such as morphine, noscapine and sanguinarine diverge. An additional N-methylation yielding quaternary BIAs is catalyzed by reticuline N-methyltransferase (RNMT), such as in the branch pathway leading to the taxonomically widespread and ecologically significant alkaloid magnoflorine. Despite their functional differences, analysis of primary sequence information has been unable to accurately distinguish between CNMT-like and RNMT-like enzymes, necessitating laborious in vitro screening. Furthermore, despite a recent emphasis on structural characterization of BIA NMTs, the features and mechanisms underlying the CNMT-RNMT functional dichotomy were unknown. We report the identification of structural variants tightly correlated with function in known BIA NMTs and show through reciprocal mutagenesis that a single residue acts as a switch between CNMT- and RNMT-like functions. We use yeast in vivo screening to show that this discovery allows for accurate prediction of activity strictly from primary sequence information and, on this basis, improve the annotation of previously reported putative BIA NMTs. Our results highlight the unusually short mutational distance separating ancestral CNMT-like enzymes from more evolutionarily advanced RNMT-like enzymes, and thus help explain the widespread yet sporadic occurrence of quaternary BIAs in plants. While this is the first report of structural variants controlling mono-versus di-methylation activity among plant NMT enzymes, comparison with bacterial MT enzymes also suggests possible convergent evolution.

Molecular cloning and characterization of coclaurine N-methyltransferase from cultured cells of Coptis japonica

J Biol Chem 2002 Jan 4;277(1):830-5.PMID:11682473DOI:10.1074/jbc.M106405200.

S-adenosyl-L-methionine:coclaurine N-methyltransferase (CNMT) converts coclaurine to N-methylcoclaurine in isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of Coptis CNMT was used to amplify the corresponding cDNA fragment and later to isolate full-length cDNA using 5'- and 3'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The nucleotide sequence and predicted amino acid sequence showed that the cDNA encoded 358 amino acids, which contained a putative S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding domain and showed relatively high homology to tomato phosphoethanolamine-N-methyltransferase. A recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli, and its CNMT activity was confirmed. Recombinant CNMT was purified to homogeneity, and enzymological characterization confirmed that Coptis CNMT has quite broad substrate specificity, i.e. not only for 6-O-methylnorlaudanosoline and norreticuline but also for 6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline. The evolution of N-methyltransferases in secondary metabolism is discussed based on sequence similarity.
