== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CPXB_PRIM2 CPXB_PRIM2] Functions as a fatty acid monooxygenase (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). 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).<ref>PMID:11695892</ref> <ref>PMID:14653735</ref> <ref>PMID:16403573</ref> <ref>PMID:16566047</ref> <ref>PMID:17077084</ref> <ref>PMID:1727637</ref> <ref>PMID:17868686</ref> <ref>PMID:18004886</ref> <ref>PMID:18020460</ref> <ref>PMID:18298086</ref> <ref>PMID:18619466</ref> <ref>PMID:18721129</ref> <ref>PMID:19492389</ref> <ref>PMID:20180779</ref> <ref>PMID:21110374</ref> <ref>PMID:21875028</ref> <ref>PMID:3106359</ref> <ref>PMID:7578081</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Cytochrome P450BM3 (CYP102A1) from Bacillus megaterium, a fatty acid hydroxylase, is a member of a very large superfamily of monooxygenase enzymes. The available crystal structures of the enzyme show non-productive binding of substrates with their omega-end distant from the iron in a hydrophobic pocket at one side of the active site. We have constructed and characterised mutants in which this pocket is filled by large hydrophobic side-chains replacing alanine at position 82. The mutants having phenylalanine or tryptophan at this position have very much (approximately 800-fold) greater affinity for substrate, with a greater conversion of the haem iron to the high-spin state, and similarly increased catalytic efficiency. The enzyme as isolated contains bound palmitate, reflecting this much higher affinity. We have determined the crystal structure of the haem domain of the Ala82Phe mutant with bound palmitate; this shows that the substrate is binding differently from the wild-type enzyme but still distant from the haem iron. Detailed analysis of the structure indicates that the tighter binding in the mutant reflects a shift in the conformational equilibrium of the substrate-free enzyme towards the conformation seen in the substrate complex rather than differences in the enzyme-substrate interactions. On this basis, we outline a sequence of events for the initial stages of the catalytic cycle. The Ala82Phe and Ala82Trp mutants are also very much more effective catalysts of indole hydroxylation than the wild-type enzyme, suggesting that they will be valuable starting points for the design of mutants to catalyse synthetically useful hydroxylation reactions.
