Abstract

Extra information

Reduction of 17-ketosteroids is a biocatalytic process of economic significance for the production of steroid drugs. This reaction can be catalyzed by different microbial 17ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17ß-HSD), like the 17ß-HSD activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia faranosa and Mycobacterium sp., and by purified 3ß,17ß-HSD from Pseudomonas testosteroni. In addition to the bacterial 3ß,17ß-HSD the 17ß-HSD of the filamentous fungus Cochliobolus lunatus is the only microbial 17ß-HSD that has been expressed as a recombinant protein and fully characterized. On the basis of its modeled 3D structure, we selected several positions for the replacement of amino acids by site-directed mutagenesis to change substrate specificity, alter coenzyme requirements, and improve overall catalytic activity. Replacement of Val161 and Tyr212 in the substrate-binding region by Gly and Ala, respectively, increased the initial rates for the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. Replacement of Tyr49 within the coenzyme binding site by Asp changed the coenzyme specificity of the enzyme. This latter mutant can convert the steroids not only in the presence of NADP+ and NADPH, but also in the presence of NADH and NAD+. The replacement of His164, located in the non-flexible part of the ‘lid’ covering the active center resulted in a conformation of the enzyme that possessed a higher catalytic activity.
