Substrate Specificity of the Human Flavin-containing Monooxygenase for Organic Selenium Compounds
초록
FMO (Flavin-containing Monooxygenase, EC1.14.13.8)는 다양한 종류의 식품, 약물이나 기타 외래 유래물질(xenobiotics)을 산화시키는 NADPH와
The Flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMOs) (EC1.14.13.8) are NADPH-dependent flavoenzymes that catalyze oxidation of soft nucleophilic heteroatom centers in a range of structurally diverse compounds, including foods, drugs, pesticides, and other xenobiotics. In humans, FMO3 is quantitatively a major human liver monooxygenase. In the present study, the baculovirus expression vector system was used to overexpress human FMO3 in insect cells for catalytic studies. Six commercially available organic selenium compounds were examined for substrate activity with microsomes isolated from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf)9 cells infected with human FMO3 recombinant baculovirus. While none of the aromatic heterocyclic selenides tested showed detectable activity, all dialkyl- and alkylaryl-selenides free from ionic groups catalyzed the NADPH- and O
