Structure and Expression of a New Complementary DNA Encoding the almost Exclusive 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/Δ 5 -Δ 4 -lsomerase in Human Adrenals and Gonads
Open accessAbstract
The 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta 5-delta 4 isomerase (3 beta HSD) enzyme catalyzes the oxidation and isomerization of delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid precursors into delta 4-ketosteroids, thus leading to the formation of all classes of steroid hormones. In addition, 3 beta HSD catalyzes the interconversion of 3 beta-hydroxy- and 3-keto-5 alpha-androstane steroids. Clinical observations in patients with 3 beta HSD deficiency as well as our recent data obtained by Southern blot analysis using a human placental 3 beta HSD cDNA (type I) as probe suggested the existence of multiple related 3 beta HSD isoenzymes. We now report the isolation and characterization of a second type of cDNA clone (arbitrarily designated type II) encoding 3 beta HSD after screening of a human adrenal lambda gt22A library. The nucleotide sequence of 1676 basepairs of human 3 beta HSD type II cDNA predicts a protein of 371 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 41,921 daltons, which displays 93.5% and 96.2% homology with human placental type I and rhesus macaque ovary 3 beta HSD deduced proteins, respectively. To characterize and compare the kinetic properties of the two isoenzymes, plasmids derived from pCMV and containing type I or type II 3 beta HSD full-length cDNA inserts were transiently expressed in HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. In vitro incubation with NAD+ and 3H-labeled pregnenolone or dehydroepiandrosterone shows that the type I protein possesses a 3 beta HSD/delta 5-delta 4 isomerase activity higher than type II, with respective Km values of 0.24 vs. 1.2 microM for pregnenolone and 0.18 vs. 1.6 microM for dihydroepiandrosterone, while the specific activity of both types is equivalent. Moreover, incubation in the presence of NADH of homogenates from cells transfected with type I or type II 3 beta HSD indicates that dihydrotestosterone is converted into 5 alpha-androstane-3 beta, 17 beta-diol, with Km values of 0.26 and 2.7 microM, respectively. Ribonuclease protection assay using type I- and type II-specific cRNA probes revealed that type II transcripts are the almost exclusive 3 beta HSD mRNA species in the human adrenal gland, ovary, and testis, while type I transcripts correspond to the almost exclusive 3 beta HSD mRNA species in the placenta and skin and represent the predominantly expressed species in mammary gland tissue. The present data show for the first time that adrenals and gonads express a type of 3 beta HSD isoenzyme that is distinct from the type expressed in the placenta.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

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.
