Aspergillus nidulans catabolizes phenylacetate (PhAc) and 3-hydroxy-, 4-hydroxy-, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate (3-OH-PhAc, 4-OH-PhAc, and 3,4-diOH-PhAc, respectively) through the 2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetate (homogentisic acid) catabolic pathway. Using cDNA subtraction techniques, we isolated a gene, denoted phacB, which is strongly induced by PhAc (and its hydroxyderivatives) and encodes a new cytochrome P450 (CYP450). A disrupted phacB strain (delta phacB) does not grow on 3-hydroxy-, 4-hydroxy-, or 3,4-dihydroxy-PhAc. High-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrum analyses of in vitro reactions using microsomes from wild-type and several A. nidulans mutant strains confirmed that the phacB-encoded CYP450 catalyzes 3-hydroxyphenylacetate and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate 6-hydroxylations to generate 2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetate and 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylacetate, respectively. Both of these compounds are used as substrates by homogentisate dioxygenase. This cytochrome P450 protein also uses PhAc as a substrate to generate 2-OH-PhAc with a very low efficiency. The phacB gene is the first member of a new CYP450 subfamily (CYP504B).
