CYP55 family

The evolutionary divergence of the CYP superfamily collected in 1990, CYP55 is in the branch of prokaryotic CYPs

Cytochrome P450, family 55, also known as CYP55, is a cytochrome P450 family in fungi supposed to derived from horizontal gene transfer of Actinomycetes CYP105 family member in the ancestor of all Dikarya (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota).[1][2] The first gene identified in this family is the CYP55A1 from Fusarium oxysporum encoding the NADPH dependent reductase of nitrous oxide (P450nor cytochrome P450nor).[3][4]
