Abstract
A cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system that catalyzes the stereospecific hydroxylation of the monoterpene substrate 1,4-cineole was demonstrated in cell-free preparations of Bacillus cereus UI-1477. 1,4-Cineole hydroxylations were catalyzed by a 100,000 x g (1-h)-centrifuging soluble, hexane-inducible enzyme that activated and incorporated molecular oxygen into hydroxylated products; required NADH; was inhibited by SKF-525A, imidazole, metyrapone, and octylamine; and displayed a 452-nm peak in the carbon monoxide difference absorption spectrum. The constant 7:1 ratio of endo/exo alcohol products formed when 1,4-cineole was hydroxylated by normal cells, hexane-induced cells, and cell extracts suggested that a single enzyme designated cytochrome P-450cin was responsible for both reactions.
