The hydroxylation of testosterone and some relatives by Cephalosporium aphidicola
摘要:
The fungus Cephalosporium aphidicola has been shown to hydroxylate testosterone, 19-nortestosterone, 1-dehydrotestosterone, 1 alpha-methyltestosterone, androst-4-en-3-one, androst-4-en-3,17-dione and 17 alpha-methyltestosterone predominantly at the C-6 beta position with a minor hydroxylation occurring at the C-14 alpha position. 19-Nortestosterone was also hydroxylated at the C-10 beta position. In contrast to the hydroxylation of progesterone by this organism, hydroxylation at C-11 alpha was a minor pathway.

The present invention relates to novel recombinant Bacillus megaterium cytochrome P450-monooxygenase (P450-BM3) variants for the C19 hydroxylation of steroids and derivatives thereof. In particular, the present invention also relates to methods and processes using P450-BM3 variants for the production of estrone and estradiol. The invention further relates to nucleotide sequences, constructs and vectors for the expression of these P450-BM3 variants
