CYPs in different families are involved in the divergent regio-specific epoxidation of alkenyl sex pheromone precursors in moths.

Abstract:

:In moth species that utilize alkenyl sex pheromones, the epoxidation of alkenes confers further diversity on the chemical structures of pheromone components. Hc_epo1 (CYP341B14), the first pheromone gland (PG)-specific epoxidase identified from the fall webworm Hyphantria cunea (Erebidae), specifically epoxidizes the Z9 double bond in the triene precursor, (3Z,6Z,9Z)-3,6,9-henicosatriene (Z3,Z6,Z9-21:H). In the present study, we identified a novel PG-specific epoxidase, As_epo1, from the Japanese giant looper Ascotis selenaria (Geometridae), which secretes cis-3,4-epoxy-(6Z,9Z)-6,9-nonadecadiene (epo3,Z6,Z9-19:H) as the main sex pheromone component. A functional assay using the Sf9 insect cell line-baculovirus expression system showed that As_epo1 specifically epoxidizes the Z3 double bond in the pheromone precursor triene, (3Z,6Z,9Z)-3,6,9-nonadecatriene (Z3,Z6,Z9-19:H). As_epo1 also Z3-specifically epoxidized a triene with a longer carbon chain, Z3,Z6,Z9-21:H, which does not occur in this species. A phylogenetic analysis indicated that As_epo1 belonged to the CYP340 family, not the CYP341 family to which Hc_epo1 belongs. These results suggest that moth PG-specific epoxidases with divergent regio-specificities have evolved independently.
