Molecular Cloning, Overexpression, and Characterization of Steroid-inducible 3a-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/Carbonyl Reductase from Comamonas testosteroni A NOVEL MEMBER OF THE SHORT-CHAIN DEHYDROGENASE/REDUCTASE SUPERFAMILY*
3a-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/carbonyl reductase (3a-HSD/CR) from Comamonas testosteroni, a bacterium that is able to grow on steroids as the sole carbon source, catalyzes the oxidoreduction at position 3 of a variety of C19–27 steroids and the carbonyl reduction of a variety of nonsteroidal aldehydes and ketones. The gene of this steroid-inducible 3a-HSD/CR was cloned by screening a C. testo...
متن کاملDiversity, taxonomy and evolution of medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily.
A comprehensive, structural and functional, in silico analysis of the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (MDR) superfamily, including 583 proteins, was carried out by use of extensive database mining and the blastp program in an iterative manner to identify all known members of the superfamily. Based on phylogenetic, sequence, and functional similarities, the protein members of the MDR superf...
متن کاملStudies of Leishmania major Pteridine Reductase 1, a Novel Short Chain Dehydrogenase
Pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) is an NADPH dependent reductase that catalyzes the reduction of several pterins and folates. The gene encoding this enzyme was originally identified in Leishmania based on its abilty to provide resistance to the drug methotrexate (MTX). The DNA and amno acid sequences are known , and overproducing strains of Escherichia coli are available. PTR1 has been previously s...
متن کاملLeishmania major pteridine reductase 1 belongs to the short chain dehydrogenase family: stereochemical and kinetic evidence.
Pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) is a novel broad spectrum enzyme of pterin and folate metabolism in the protozoan parasite Leishmania. Overexpression of PTR1 confers methotrexate resistance to these protozoa, arising from the enzyme's ability to reduce dihydrofolate and its relative insensitivity to methotrexate. The kinetic mechanism and stereochemical course for the catalyzed reaction confirm PT...
متن کاملAnalysis of nitrate reductase mRNA expression and nitrate reductase activity in response to nitrogen supply
Nitrate is one of the major sources of nitrogen for the growth of plants. It is taken up by plant roots and transported to the leaves where it is reduced to nitrite in the. The main objective of this research was to investigate stimulatory effects of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ammonia and urea on the production/generation of the nitrate reductase mRNA in Triticum aestivum plants. The pl...
