Abstract

We have determined the structure of cDNA and two genomic genes encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase [21-OHase; steroid 21-monooxygenase; steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (21-hydroxylating); EC 1.14.99.10]. If this cytochrome P-450 enzyme is defective, cortisol cannot be synthesized, resulting in congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The cDNA encoding this enzyme is 2.0 kilobases long, and the encoded protein is predicted to contain 494 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 55,000. This enzyme is at most 28% homologous to other P-450 enzymes that have been studied. The 21-OHase genomic genes, which are located in the HLA major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6, each contain 10 exons. This structure is distinct from other characterized P-450 genes, which contain 7 or 9 exons. Studies of individuals with homozygous deletions of the 21-OHase A or B genes suggest that only the B gene encodes an active enzyme. This is confirmed by the finding that the A gene has an 8-base deletion within codons 110-112, resulting in a frameshift that brings a stop codon into the reading frame at codon 130. A second frameshift and a nonsense mutation occur downstream. In contrast, the sequence of the exons of the B gene is identical to the cDNA sequence. The 21-OHase A gene is, therefore, a pseudogene.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
