the wild-type strain ATCC 119960 degrades steroids, such as testosterone, estradiol, or cholesterol, differences in the enzyme mutant strains, overview
compared to the wild-type Comamonas testosteroni, degradation ability of testosterone and cholesterol is almost lost, and degradation of estradiol is decreased in the 3,17beta-HSD knockout mutant. Degradation of testosterone and cholesterol is obviously increased in the 3,17beta-HSD overexpression mutant. The growths in the medium with testosterone, cholesterol or estradiol are impaired in 3,17beta-HSD knockout mutant
Comamonas testosteroni strain ATCC11996 is a gram-negative bacterium which can use steroids as carbon and energy source. 3,17beta-HSD is an enzyme which is involved in the complete oxidative degradation of the steroid skeleton, induced in the presence of these compounds in the culture medium
PhaR is a repressor that controls 3,17beta-HSD expression, phaR knock-out mutants grow at higher rates and produce more protein in the presence of steroids as carbon source. PhaR also regulates other genes that relate to steroid degradation. Estradiol and cholesterol both cannot induce betahsd gene expression in both wild-type and mutant Comamonas testosteroni
the enzyme has nearly identical subunits that form a tetramer with 222 symmetry. The subunit consists of a monomer with a single-domain structure built around a seven-stranded beta-sheet flanked by six alpha-helices

vapor diffusion technique, crystallographic analysis at 1.2 A resolution reveals the enzyme to have nearly identical subunits that form a tetramer with 222 symmetry. The subunit consists of a monomer with a single-domain structure built around a seven-stranded beta-sheet flanked by six alpha-helices
construction of a betahsd knockout mutant of Comamonas testosteroni by homologous integration, and preparation of 3,17b-HSD gene high expression mutant
construction of transcriptional repressor PhaR knockout mutants M6 of Comamonas testosteroni, the mutants grow better than wild-type Comamonas testosteroni in the presence of 1 mM testosterone, 0.5 mM estradiol or 0.5 mM cholesterol. phaR Knockout mutants M6 cells are inhibited by estradiol and cholesterol, this inhibition is stronger in M6 cells than in wild-type Comamonas testosteroni
gene betahsd, cloning of PhaR and 3,17beta-HSD together with their promoter domains into plasmids pK18 and pUC19 and coexpression in Escherichia coli strain HB101. A 2509 bp DNA fragment, that contains a putative promoter for the bhsd gene (without the phaR gene), is cloned into plasmid pUC2.5-3. The plasmid is transformed into strain HB101 and induced with testosterone. 3,17beta-HSD expression results at a high level, but cannot be further enhanced by testosterone. Recombinant expression of His-tagged enzyme in Escherichia coli strain BL21. Promoter cloning
gene betahsd, sequence comparisons, cloning and location of the TSS and promoter (126 bp) of the 3,17beta-HSD gene, recombinant expression of His-tagged wild-type and mutant enzymes in Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3)
transcriptional repressor phaR knockout mutants have better ability to degrade steroids than wild-type Comamonas testosteroni ATCC11996 and might therefore be used in bioremediation
engineering Mycobacterium smegmatis for testosterone production. Mycobacterium smegmatis is an excellent chassis to develop biotechnological processes for the biotransformation of sterols and their derivatives into valuable pharmaceutical compounds. Overexpression of the gene encoding microbial 17beta-hydroxysteroid: NADP 17-oxidoreductase, from the bacterium Comamonas testosteroni. The host strains are Mycobacterium smegmatis wild type and a genetic engineered androst-4-ene-3,17-dione producing mutant. The recombinant strains are able to produce testosterone from androst-4-ene-3,17-dione and/or from sterols with high yields
