Four Molybdenum-Dependent Steroid C-25 Hydroxylases: Heterologous Overproduction, Role in Steroid Degradation, and Application for 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Synthesis

Four Molybdenum-Dependent Steroid C-25 Hydroxylases: Heterologous Overproduction, Role in Steroid Degradation, and Application for 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Synthesis

Side chain-containing steroids are ubiquitous constituents of biological membranes that are persistent to biodegradation. Aerobic, steroid-degrading bacteria employ oxygenases for isoprenoid side chain and tetracyclic steran ring cleavage. In contrast, a Mo-containing steroid C-25 dehydrogenase (S25...
