Abstract

Using NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase as electron donor the homogeneous pig 17 alpha-hydroxylase-17,20-lyase (CYP17) was shown to catalyse the conversion of delta 5, as well as delta 4, steroids (pregnenolone and progesterone respectively) predominantly into the corresponding 17 alpha-hydroxylated products. The latter were then cleaved by the lyase (desmolase) activity of the enzyme into androgens. Cytochrome b5 stimulated both these activities, but its most noticeable effect was on the formation of delta 16-steroids, which compulsorily required the presence of cytochrome b5. These results on the pig enzyme confirm the original findings [Nakajin, Takahashi, Shinoda and Hall (1985) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 132, 708-713]. The human CYP17 expressed in Escherichia coli [Imai, Globerman, Gertner, Kagawa and Waterman (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 19681-19689] was also purified to homogeneity and was found to catalyse the hydroxylation of pregnenolone and progesterone without requiring cytochrome b5. Like the pig CYP17, the human CYP17 also catalysed the cytochrome b5-dependent direct cleavage of pregnenolone into the delta 5,16-steroid, but unlike it the human enzyme did not cleave progesterone at all. 17 alpha-Hydroxypregnenolon...Continue Reading

Biosynthetic Transformations

Biosyntheic transformtions are multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. Simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined together to form macromolecules. Discover the latest research on biosynthetic transformations here.
