CYP94A5, a new cytochrome P450 from Nicotiana tabacum is able to catalyze the oxidation of fatty acids to the omega-alcohol and to the corresponding diacid.
TLDR
A cytochrome P450 able to catalyze the complete set of reactions oxidizing a terminal methyl group to the corresponding carboxyl is described, which is enantioselective: after incubation of a synthetic racemic mixture of 9,10-epoxystearic acid, the chirality of the residual epoxide was 40/60 in favor of 9R,10S enantiomer.

Functional expression in yeast and characterization of a clofibrate-inducible plant cytochrome P-450 (CYP94A1) involved in cutin monomers synthesis.
TLDR
The chemical tagging of a cytochrome P-450-dependent lauric acid omega-hydroxylase from clofibrate-treated Vicia sativa seedlings with [1-14C]11-dodecynoic acid allowed the isolation of a full-length cDNA designated CYP94A1, which was strong regioselectivity shifted with sulphur-containing substrates.

Cloning and functional characterization of CYP94A2, a medium chain fatty acid hydroxylase from Vicia sativa.
TLDR
Heterologous expression of CYP94A2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain WAT11 shows that it catalyses the hydroxylation of myristic acid with a K(m(app)) of 4.0 microM and a turnover rate number of 80 min(-1).

A conservative amino acid substitution alters the regiospecificity of CYP94A2, a fatty acid hydroxylase from the plant Vicia sativa.
TLDR
The observed shift from omega toward omega-1 hydroxylation was prominent with lauric acid as substrate and declined with increasing fatty acid chain length, and a conservative amino acid substitution at that position markedly altered the regiospecificity of CYP94A2.

Increased expression and decreased activity of cytochrome P450 1A1 in a murine model of toluene diisocyanate-induced asthma
Abstract. In the lung, cytochromes P450 (CYP) may be affected by inhaled pollutants. In a previous study, we showed that acute inhalation of toluene diisocyanate (TDI), a low molecular weight…
