EC Tree
1.14.13.101 senecionine N-oxygenaseIUBMB Comments
A flavoprotein. NADH cannot replace NADPH. While pyrrolizidine alkaloids of the senecionine and monocrotaline types are generally good substrates (e.g. senecionine, retrorsine and monocrotaline), the enzyme does not use ester alkaloids lacking an hydroxy group at C-7 (e.g. supinine and phalaenopsine), 1,2-dihydro-alkaloids (e.g. sarracine) or unesterified necine bases (e.g. senkirkine) as substrates . Senecionine N-oxide is used by insects as a chemical defense: senecionine N-oxide is non-toxic, but it is bioactivated to a toxic form by the action of cytochrome P-450 oxidase when absorbed by insectivores.

expressing GgPNO without the signal peptide in at least a partially soluble and active form. Betaine is added to the medium and promotes its uptake by osmotic stress by sorbitol. Further improvements are achieved by coexpression with the Escherichia coli chaperones DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE by using the plasmid pRDKJG and by reducing the expression temperature to 4°C
the heterologous expression results in the formation of an insoluble and inactive protein. Despite the finding that protein solubilization and subsequent renaturation results in an active protein, the specific activity remains low. Active SNO is detected by using an an Sf9 insect cell expression system, but the yield of protein is too low for further biochemical characterization. Using an alignment of senecionine N-oxygenase of Tyria jacobaeae and of flavin-dependent monooxygenase-like sequences of the dipteran species Drosophila melanogaster and Anopheles gambiae, several new flavin-dependent monooxygenase sequences of arctiids and other Lepidoptera are idenified
