In enzymology, a microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EC 3.3.2.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction between an epoxide and water to form a diol.[1]

The human homolog of microsomal epoxide hydrolase is EPHX1. EPHX1 is located on chromosome 1.[2] This class of enzymes plays a role in the uptake of bile salts within the large intestine. It functions as a Na+ dependent transporter. This enzyme participates in metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome p450. mEH has been identified as playing a large role in the detoxification and bioactivation of a wide variety of substrates, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which are known for their carcinogenic properties.[3]

Nomenclature

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on ether bonds (ether hydrolases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is cis-stilbene-oxide hydrolase. Other names in common use include epoxide hydratase (ambiguous), microsomal epoxide hydratase (ambiguous), epoxide hydrase, microsomal epoxide hydrase, arene-oxide hydratase (ambiguous), benzo[a]pyrene-4,5-oxide hydratase, benzo(a)pyrene-4,5-epoxide hydratase, aryl epoxide hydrase (ambiguous), cis-epoxide hydrolase, and mEH.

Structure

mEH belongs to the superfamily α/β-hydrolase fold enzymes.[4] The three dimensional structure of mEH has been elucidated from Aspergillus niger.[5] The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain composed of 455 amino acids. mEH has a molecular weight of 52.96 kilodaltons. It is known that the N-terminal region of the enzyme is responsible for anchoring the protein to the cellular membrane.[6] The C-terminal region of the enzyme contains catalytic residues.[5] Although no crystal structure has been solved for the mammalian mEH system (EPHX1), the overall homology between fungal and mammalian mEH is relatively high.[7][8][9] This high homology has helped to elucidate the overall structure and subsequent catalytic mechanism of EPHX1 in humans from existing crystal structures of fungal mEH.

Mechanism

α/β-hydrolase fold enzymes utilize a catalytic triad in the active site. This catalytic triad is comprised of glutamine, histidine and aspartic acid.[10] The proposed mechanism for the mEH-catalyzed reaction first involves a nucleophilic attack on the oxirane ring on the substrate from the aspartic acid residue near the active site, which forms an ester intermediate.[11] The substrate is positioned in an orientation poised for nucleophilic attack by hydrogen bonding from two nearby tyrosine residues [12][13] The second step in this mechanism is hydrolysis of the ester that occurs by an activated water molecule.[14] The activation of water is facilitated by proton abstraction via the charge relay system in the catalytic triad.[15] After hydrolysis, the substrate is then released from its bond to aspartic acid and the free diol is formed.[16]

The mechanism of microsomal epoxide hydrolase[10][11][12][13]

The active site of this enzyme lies within a hydrophobic pocket, which leads to the enzyme's preferential reactivity with molecules with hydrophobic side-chains.[17][12] The mEH enzyme typically binds to small organic epoxides, such as styrene epoxide and cis-stillbene-oxide. mEH does not catalyze the hydrolysis of bulkier molecules, as their large side-chains may disrupt the charge relay system responsible for water activation.[12]

Biological Function

In humans, mEH has been found in the ovary, lung, kidney, lymphocytes, epithelial cells, and liver.[18] Microsomal epoxide hydrolase serves as a protective enzyme against potentially harmful small molecules derived from the external environment.[19] This hydrolysis of genotoxic epoxides causes subsequent effects in several signal transduction pathways, rendering this enzyme important to metabolism.[20][21]

Disease relevance

Microsomal epoxide hydrolase plays a large role in the regulation of human health. Studies have shown that mutations EPHX1 in humans may be the cause of hypercholanemia,[22] preeclampsia,[23][24] and may contribute to fetal hydantoin syndrome.[25] It is also suggested that maternal polymorphisms in EPHX1 in pregnant women were related to facial malformations of children born from women taking phenytoin during their first trimester of pregnancy.[26] While mEH participates in the protection of human health via detoxification of various environmental substances, it also has been found to facilitate the activation of carcinogens.[3]

mEH detoxifies reactive epoxides that are commonly caused from cigarette smoke, and as such it has been hypothesized that mutations in EPHX1 in humans may have an effect on an individual's susceptibility to COPD, emphysema and lung cancer. Some sources have demonstrated that individuals affected by COPD have a higher rate of containing an under-active variant of the EPHX1 gene, yet also demonstrated that the overactive variant of the gene was also found in higher frequencies in individuals affected by disease a well.[27][28] It has also been suggested that the EPHX1 variants do not contribute to susceptibility of disease, but do contribute to disease severity.[29] The role that mEH plays in lung cancer and COPD is still not fully elucidated, as the data on the topic in the literature is not fully clear.[30] There is some evidence that mEH variants may contribute to the occurrence of childhood asthma in combination with variants on the GSTP1 gene.[31]
