Androgenic 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity of expressed rat type I 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta 5-delta 4 isomerase
Open accessAbstract
Transient expression in nonsteroidogenic mammalian cells of the rat wild type I and type II 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta 5-delta 4-isomerase (3 beta-HSD) cDNAs shows that the encoded proteins, in addition to being able to catalyze the oxidation and isomerization of delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid precursors into the corresponding delta 4-3-ketosteroids, interconvert 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 5 alpha-androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol (3 beta-diol). When homogenate from cells transfected with a plasmid vector containing type I 3 beta-HSD is incubated in the presence of DHT using NAD+ as cofactor, a somewhat unexpected metabolite is formed, namely 5 alpha-androstanedione (A-dione), thus indicating an intrinsic androgenic 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17 beta-HSD) activity of this 3 beta-HSD isoform. Although the relative Vmax of 17 beta-HSD activity is 14.9-fold lower than that of 3 beta-HSD activity, the Km value for the 17 beta-HSD activity of type I 3 beta-HSD is 7.97 microM, a value which is in the same range as the conversion of DHT into 3 beta-diol which shows a Km value of 4.02 microM. Interestingly, this 17 beta-HSD activity is highly predominant in unbroken cells in culture, thus supporting the physiological relevance of this "secondary" activity. Such 17 beta-HSD activity is inhibited by the classical substrates of 3 beta-HSD, namely pregnenolone (PREG), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), delta 5-androstene-3 beta,17 beta-diol (delta 5-diol), 5 alpha-androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol (3 beta-diol) and DHT, with IC50 values of 2.7, 1.0, 3.2, 6.2, and 6.3 microM, respectively. Although dual enzymatic activities have been previously reported for purified preparations of other steroidogenic enzymes, the present data demonstrate the multifunctional enzymatic activities associated with a recombinant oxidoreductase enzyme. In addition to its well known 3 beta-HSD activity, this enzyme possesses the ability to catalyze DHT into A-dione thus potentially controlling the level of the active androgen DHT in classical steroidogenic as well as peripheral intracrine tissues.

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.
