ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.15.28

Accepted Name
Cholest-4-en-3-one 26-monooxygenase ((25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate forming).
Reaction catalysed
Cholest-4-en-3-one + 6 reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + 3 O(2) <=> (25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate + 6 oxidized [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + 4 H(2)O
Comment(s)
  • This cytochrome P450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme, found in several bacterial pathogens, is involved in degradation of the host cholesterol.
  • It catalyzes the hydroxylation of the C-26 carbon, followed by oxidation of the alcohol to the carboxylic acid via the aldehyde intermediate, initiating the degradation of the alkyl side-chain of cholesterol.
  • The products are exclusively in the (25R) conformation.
  • The enzyme also accepts cholesterol as a substrate.
  • cf. 1.14.15.29.
  • The enzyme can receive electrons from ferredoxin reductase in vitro, its natural electron donor is not known yet.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.13.221.
