1.17.99.11

Accepted name:

3-oxo-Δ¹-steroid hydratase/dehydrogenase

Reaction:

a 3-oxo-Δ¹-steroid + H₂O + acceptor = a steroid 1,3-dione + reduced acceptor (overall reaction)
(1a) a 3-oxo-Δ¹-steroid + H₂O = a 1-hydroxy-3-oxo-steroid
(1b) a 1-hydroxy-3-oxo-steroid + acceptor = a steroid 1,3-dione + reduced acceptor

Glossary:

Δ¹-dihydrotestosterone = 17β-hydroxy-5α-androst-1-en-3-one

Other name(s):

atcABC (gene names)

Systematic name:

3-oxo-Δ¹-steroid:acceptor 1-oxidoreductase

Comments:

A molybdenum enzyme. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Steroidobacter denitrificans, is involved in the anaetrobic degradation of steroids. It is specific to 3-oxo-Δ¹-steroids such as androsta-1-ene-3,17-dione and Δ¹-dihydrotestosterone and does not act on 3-oxo-Δ⁴-steroids.
