Abstract

Sterol 12alpha-hydroxylase is an important enzyme in bile acid biosynthesis, responsible for the balance between formation of cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid. The enzyme has been purified to apparent homogeneity from rabbit liver (Ishida, H., Noshiro, M., Okuda, K., and Coon, M. J. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 21319-21323), and we here describe the cloning and sequencing of a cDNA coding for this enzyme. After tryptic digestion of purified protein in a polyacrylamide gel, eight different peptides were isolated and sequenced. Using oligonucleotides deduced from the amino acid sequences, clones were isolated from a rabbit liver cDNA library. In addition to several overlapping clones, one full-length clone was obtained that coded for a polypeptide of 500 amino acids, corresponding to a molecular mass of 57 kDa. All of the eight peptides and the reported NH2-terminal amino acid sequence were matched against the sequence. The peptide sequence showed a 39% similarity with human prostacyclin synthase (CYP8) and 31% similarity with the rate-limiting enzyme in over-all synthesis of bile acids, the cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7) of the rabbit. The similarity with most other sterol cytochrome P-450 hydroxylases was less. Thus, ...Continue Reading
