EC 1.14.15.28     
Accepted name: cholest-4-en-3-one 26-monooxygenase [(25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate forming]
Reaction: cholest-4-en-3-one + 6 reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + 3 O2 = (25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate + 6 oxidized [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + 4 H2O (overall reaction)
(1a) cholest-4-en-3-one + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + O2 = (25R)-26-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + H2O
(1b) (25R)-26-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + O2 = (25R)-26-oxocholest-4-en-3-one + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + 2 H2O
(1c) (25R)-26-oxocholest-4-en-3-one + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + O2 = (25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin + H2O
Other name(s): CYP142
Systematic name: cholest-4-en-3-one,reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase [(25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate-forming]
Comments: This cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme, found in several bacterial pathogens, is involved in degradation of the host cholesterol. It catalyses the hydroxylation of the C-26 carbon, followed by oxidation of the alcohol to the carboxylic acid via the aldehyde intermediate, initiating the degradation of the alkyl side-chain of cholesterol. The products are exclusively in the (25R) conformation. The enzyme also accepts cholesterol as a substrate. cf. EC 1.14.15.29, cholest-4-en-3-one 26-monooxygenase [(25S)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate forming]. The enzyme can receive electrons from ferredoxin reductase in vitro, its natural electron donor is not known yet.
