A cDNA encoding a new cytochrome
P450 was isolated from a mouse brain library. Sequence analysis reveals
that this 1,958-base pair cDNA encodes a 57-58-kDa 502-amino acid
polypeptide that is 70-91% identical to CYP2J subfamily P450s and is
designated CYP2J9. Recombinant CYP2J9 was co-expressed with
NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR) in Sf9
cells using a baculovirus system. Microsomes of
CYP2J9/CYPOR-transfected cells metabolize arachidonic acid to
19-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) thus CYP2J9 is enzymologically
distinct from other P450s. Northern analysis reveals that CYP2J9
transcripts are present at high levels in mouse brain. Mouse brain
microsomes biosynthesize 19-HETE. RNA polymerase chain reaction
analysis demonstrates that CYP2J9 mRNAs are widely distributed in
brain and most abundant in the cerebellum. Immunoblotting using an
antibody raised against human CYP2J2 that cross-reacts with CYP2J9
detects a 56-kDa protein band that is expressed in cerebellum and other
brain segments and is regulated during postnatal development. In
situ hybridization of mouse brain sections with a CYP2J9-specific riboprobe and immunohistochemical staining with the anti-human CYP2J2
IgG reveals abundant CYP2J9 mRNA and protein in cerebellar Purkinje
cells. Importantly, 19-HETE inhibits the activity of recombinant
P/Q-type Ca2+ channels that are known to be expressed
preferentially in cerebellar Purkinje cells and are involved in
triggering neurotransmitter release. Based on these data, we conclude
that CYP2J9 is a developmentally regulated P450 that is abundant in
brain, localized to cerebellar Purkinje cells, and active in the
biosynthesis of 19-HETE, an eicosanoid that inhibits activity of
P/Q-type Ca2+ channels. We postulate that CYP2J9
arachidonic acid products play important functional roles in the brain.
