Identification of the C9-Hydrogenase for 9,17-Dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-Hexanorandrostan-5-oic Acid (9,17-DOHNA) and the 7α-Dehydratase Essential for Initiating β-Oxidation of the B-, C-, and D-Rings in Steroid Degradation by Comamonas testosteroni TA441

Masae Horinouchi

This paper identifies the C9-hydrogenase and 7α-dehydratase genes essential for β-oxidation of steroid rings in Comamonas testosteroni TA441 and characterizes their structural features.

Identification of Dehydrogenase, Hydratase, and Aldolase Required for C17 Propionyl Residue Removal in Steroid Degradation by Comamonas testosteroni TA441: Structural and Functional Insights into the (ChsE1-ChsE2)2 and (ChsH1-ChsH2MaoC)2-(Ltp2-ChsH2DUF35)2 Complexes

Masae Horinouchi

This study identifies enzymes involved in C17 propionyl residue removal during steroid degradation in Comamonas testosteroni TA441 and shows structural and functional similarities to Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzymes.
