Enzyme Information

1.14.15.28
Cholest-4-en-3-one 26-monooxygenase ((25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate forming).
based on mapping to UniProt P9WPL5
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.
-!- 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.
