Molecular cloning of cDNA for rat ovarian 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD1).
20 alpha-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20 alpha-HSD, EC 1.1.1.149) catalyses the conversion of progesterone into 20 alpha-dihydroprogesterone (20 alpha-OHP). Previously, we purified the enzyme (37 kDa) from rat ovary and determined its N-terminal amino acid sequence. In the present study we succeeded in cloning a full-length 20 alpha-HSD cDNA. mRNA was extracted from immature rat ovaries after ...
متن کاملConversion of mammalian 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase to 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase using loop chimeras: changing specificity from androgens to progestins.
Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDs) regulate the occupancy and activation of steroid hormone receptors by converting potent steroid hormones into their cognate inactive metabolites. 3alpha-HSD catalyzes the inactivation of androgens in the prostate by converting 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone to 3alpha-androstanediol, where excess 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone is implicated in prostate disease. By co...
متن کاملHypoxically inducible barley lactate dehydrogenase: cDNA cloning and molecular analysis.
In the roots of barley and other cereals, hypoxia induces a set of five isozymes of L-lactate dehydrogenase [LDH; (S)-lactate:NADH oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27]. Biochemical and genetic data indicate that the five LDH isozymes are tetramers that arise from random association of the products of two Ldh loci. To investigate this system, cDNA clones of LDH were isolated from a lambda gt11 cDNA libr...
متن کاملCharacterization and functional analysis of the 5'-flanking region of the mouse 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase gene.
20alpha-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20alpha-HSD), which metabolizes progesterone to an inactive steroid in the corpus luteum of mice and rats but not of humans, is thought to play a crucial role in shortening the oestrous cycles in these rodent species. We determined the nucleotide sequence of the 5'-flanking region of the mouse 20alpha-HSD gene, and examined its promoter activity using a rat...
متن کاملCharacteristics and inhibition by flavonoids of 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in mouse tissues.
Progesterone was stereoselectively reduced to a metabolite 20alpha-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one in the cytosolic fraction from the liver of male mice, indicating that the reduction of progesterone is catalyzed by 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20alpha-HSD). The cytosolic 20alpha-HSD activity was observed not only in the liver, but also in the kidney and lung. In liver cytosol, both NADPH and ...
