Abstract Cytochrome P450 55B1 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is reported to function as a nitric oxide reductase (NOR). Here, we expressed the cytochrome P450 55B1 gene with an HIS-tag in Escherichia coli using a pET28a vector. The native protein was produced at a level of 1.59 μmol/g of total protein, with approximately 85% of the P450 being soluble. The CYP55B1 protein was characterized spectrally and purified by a HIS-trap column. This procedure allowed recovery of 45% of the expressed protein and CYP55B1 with a specific content of 0.70 μmol/g of the total protein, which showed a single band on a SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The direct electrochemistry of CYP55B1 in dihexadecylphosphate (DHP) film was realized with an electric potential at −0.47 V at the scan rate of 1 V s−1. We studied the in vitro interaction between P450 55B1 and NO by the fluorescence spectrometric method. The results show that the fluorescence intensity of iron-porphyrin in P450 55B1 changes gradually with the addition of NO. The fluorescence intensity change values against NO concentrations were plotted, and it showed a linear range of NO from 0 to 22.5 μM with a sensitivity of 0.15 μM/AU and a detection limit of 0.15 μM.

Introduction Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are a large family of heme-containing monooxygenase enzymes involved in the metabolism of drugs and foreign chemicals in the body. The electrochemical properties of cytochrome P450 enzymes provide a plat to monitor the P450 catalytic substrates by electrochemical method, and several P450 biosensor systems have been reviewed on this respect [1, 2]. Fungal nitric oxide reductase, which belongs to the P450 super family (P450nor), is a unique heme-thiolate protein involved in fungal denitrification by reducing nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O) [3]. Cytochrome P450nor was first discovered in the fungal denitrifier Fusarium oxysporum by Shoun and coworkers in 1991 and named as cytochrome P450 55A1 (CYP55A1) [4]. Following the discovery of the denitrifying activity in the filamentous fungus F. oxysporum, such activities were found to be distributed widely among fungi [5]. Two isozymes of P450nor, namely CtP450nor1 and CtP450nor2 (CYP55A2 and CYP55A3) from Cylindrocarpon tonkinense, were isolated and cloned [6, 7]. TcP450nor (CYP55A4) was found from basidiomycotina yeast Trichosporon cut
