Polychaete worms can biotransform polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environments, and the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme plays an important role in this process. Herein, a novel cytochrome P450 gene was identified and characterized from the polychaete worm Perinereis aibuhitensis. The full-length cDNA, which is named CYP4V82, is 1709 bp encoding a protein of 509 amino acids and has high similarity to CYP4V. The expression levels of CYP4V82 and CYP4BB4 (a CYP gene identified from P. aibuhitensis in a previous study, Chen et al. Mar Pollut Bull 64:1782–1788, 2012) exposure to various concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) (0.5, 2, 4, and 8 μg/L) and same mass concentrations of fluoranthene (Flu, 3.2 μg/L), phenanthrene (Phe, 2.9 μg/L), B[a]P (4.0 μg/L) were detected to identify the function of the CYP4 family in P. aibuhitensis. Compared with CYP4BB4, CYP4V82 mRNA was minimally expressed on day 7 but highly sensitive on day 14. Notably, the expression levels of CYP4V82 and CYP4BB4 were relatively different in short-term responses to PAHs with different benzene rings of the same concentration. The expression of CYP4V82 in the B[a]P group was the highest, while that of CYP4BB4 in the Phe group was relatively higher than the two other groups. These findings suggest that PAHs are associated with the induction of CYP4V82 and CYP4BB4 expressions in P. aibuhitensis, which may have different efficiencies in the detoxification of PAHs.
