A new bacterial steroid degradation gene cluster in Comamonas testosteroni TA441 which consists of aromatic-compound degradation genes for seco-steroids and 3-ketosteroid dehydrogenase genes.
Steroid degradation genes in Comamonas testosteroni TA441: Isolation of genes encoding a Delta4(5)-isomerase and 3alpha- and 3beta-dehydrogenases and evidence for a 100 kb steroid degradation gene hot spot.
A flavoprotein. This bacterial enzyme, characterized from Comamonas testosteroni, is involved in androsterone degradation. cf. EC 1.3.1.22, 3-oxo-5alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase (NADP+).
