Transformation of phytosterols into pregnatetraenedione by a combined microbial and chemical process

Yong-Jun Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, a greener and more economical route for the synthesis of pregnatetraenedione was proposed by converting phytosterols to 9-OHPDC and then to 9-OHPDC-M, which served as a synthon for the synthesis of pregnatetraenedione. The combined microbial and chemical process showed a total weight yield of up to 35.4%, significantly higher than that of the current industrial routes. The new synthesis route also had the advantages of shorter reaction steps, milder reaction conditions, reduced use of organic solvents, and abandonment of toxic catalysts.

Efficient One-Step Biocatalytic Multienzyme Cascade Strategy for Direct Conversion of Phytosterol to C-17-Hydroxylated Steroids

Rui Tang et al.

Summary: This study established a one-step biocatalytic carbonyl reduction strategy for the efficient biosynthesis of boldenone from phytosterol by bridging 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with a cofactor regeneration strategy in Mycobacterium neoaurum. The yield of boldenone was significantly increased with the establishment of an intracellular cofactor regeneration strategy, reaching the highest reported yield for transformation from phytosterol in one step. This strategy has practical value for the production of many valuable steroidal products from natural inexpensive raw materials.

Enhancing production of 9α-hydroxy-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (9-OHAD) from phytosterols by metabolic pathway engineering of mycobacteria

Hong Sun et al.

Summary: This study enhanced the production of 9-OHAD by using genetic engineering to improve the efficiency of mycobacterial conversion of phytosterols. Different phytosterols have varying conversion efficiencies into 9-OHAD, with beta-sitosterol and campesterol showing higher conversion rates compared to stigmasterol.

Production of 9,21-dihydroxy-20-methyl-pregna-4-en-3-one from phytosterols in Mycobacterium neoaurum by modifying multiple genes and improving the intracellular environment

Chen-Yang Yuan et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the production of 9-OH-4-HP using Mybacterium neoaurum DSM 44074 with a Delta(1)-dehydrogenation deficiency strain, which was further improved by blocking the C19 pathway. The double deletion of hsd4A and fadA5 contributed to a higher yield and purity of 9-OH-4-HP, while enhancing the intracellular environment led to enhanced productivity of the target sterol derivative.

Enzymatic β-Oxidation of the Cholesterol Side Chain in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Bifurcates Stereospecifically at Hydration of 3-Oxo-cholest-4,22-dien-24-oyl-CoA

Tianao Yuan et al.

Summary: The study identified and characterized two genes involved in cholesterol catabolism in Mtb, shedding light on the unique metabolic pathway utilized by the bacterium. The protein products of these genes play crucial roles in the beta-oxidation of cholesterol, with distinct stereospecific hydration and dehydrogenation steps that differ from other species. The structural analysis of the enzymes reveals potential targets for therapeutic development against Mtb infection.

Topological analyses of the L-lysine exporter LysO reveal a critical role for a conserved pair of intramembrane solvent-exposed acidic residues

Swati Dubey et al.

Summary: The study elucidated the membrane topology and export mechanism of LysO protein, suggesting that Thl may be exported in antiport with H+ while Lys may be a low-affinity export substrate. This finding provides insight into how LysO mediates Lys/Thl export and affords protection from Thl toxicity in Escherichia coli.
