Characterization of a 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/carbonyl reductase from the gram-negative bacterium Comamonas testosteroni.

A new form of the NAD(P)-dependent 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3 alpha-HSDs), present in the gram-negative bacterium Comamonas testosteroni ATCC 11996, was isolated from a testosterone-induced bacterial extract and characterized. The enzyme (HSD 28) has a monomeric molecular mass of 28 kD...
