Origin and diversification of steroids: co-evolution of enzymes and nuclear receptors

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology

Abstract

Recent sequencing of amphioxus and sea urchin genomes has provided important data for understanding the origins of enzymes that synthesize adrenal and sex steroids and the receptors that mediate physiological response to these vertebrate steroids. Phylogenetic analyses reveal that CYP11A and CYP19, which are involved in the synthesis of adrenal and sex steroids, first appear in the common ancestor of amphioxus and vertebrates. This correlates with recent evidence for the first appearance in amphioxus of receptors with close similarity to vertebrate steroid receptors. Other CYP450 enzymes involved in steroid synthesis can be traced back to invertebrates, in which they have at least two functions: detoxifying xenobiotics and catalyzing the synthesis of sterols that activate nuclear receptors. CYP450 metabolism of hydrophobic xenobiotics may have been a key event in the origin of ligand-activated steroid receptors from constitutively active nuclear receptors.

Anthelmintics (ASM)

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
