Catalyzes hydroxylation of fatty acids at omega-1, omega-2 and omega-3 positions (PubMed:1727637, PubMed:21875028). Shows activity toward medium and long-chain fatty acids, with optimum chain lengths of 12, 14 and 16 carbons (lauric, myristic, and palmitic acids). Able to metabolize some of these primary metabolites to secondary and tertiary products (PubMed:1727637). Marginal activity towards short chain lengths of 8-10 carbons (PubMed:1727637, PubMed:18619466). Hydroxylates highly branched fatty acids, which play an essential role in membrane fluidity regulation (PubMed:16566047). Also displays a NADPH-dependent reductase activity in the C-terminal domain, which allows electron transfer from NADPH to the heme iron of the cytochrome P450 N-terminal domain (PubMed:11695892, PubMed:14653735, PubMed:16403573, PubMed:16566047, PubMed:17077084, PubMed:1727637, PubMed:17868686, PubMed:18004886, PubMed:18298086, PubMed:18619466, PubMed:18721129, PubMed:19492389, PubMed:20180779, PubMed:21110374, PubMed:21875028, PubMed:3106359, PubMed:7578081). Involved in inactivation of quorum sensing signals of other competing bacteria by oxidazing efficiently acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), molecules involved in quorum sensing signaling pathways, and their lactonolysis products acyl homoserines (AHs) (PubMed:18020460). Publication Abstract from PubMed New tools that allow dynamic visualization of molecular neural events are important for studying the basis of brain activity and disease. Sensors that permit ligand-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful reagents due to the noninvasive nature and good temporal and spatial resolution of MR methods. Paramagnetic metalloproteins can be effective MRI sensors due to the selectivity imparted by the protein active site and the ability to tune protein properties using techniques such as directed evolution. Here, we show that structure-guided directed evolution of the active site of the cytochrome P450-BM3 heme domain produces highly selective MRI probes with submicromolar affinities for small molecules. We report a new, high-affinity dopamine sensor as well as the first MRI reporter for serotonin, with which we demonstrate quantification of neurotransmitter release in vitro. We also present a detailed structural analysis of evolved cytochrome P450-BM3 heme domain lineages to systematically dissect the molecular basis of neurotransmitter binding affinity, selectivity, and enhanced MRI contrast activity in these engineered proteins.
