Comamonas testosteroni TA441 utilizes testosterone via aromatization of the A ring followed by meta-cleavage of the ring. The product of the meta-cleavage reaction, 4,5-9,10-diseco-3-hydroxy-5,9,17-trioxoandrosta-1(10),2-dien-4-oic acid, is degraded by a hydrolase, TesD. We directly isolated and identified two products of TesD as 9,17-dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oic acid and (2Z,4Z)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienoic acid. The latter was a pure 4Z isomer. 2-Hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienoic acid was converted by a hydratase, TesE, and the product isolated from the reaction solution was identified as 2-hydroxy-4-hex-2-enolactone, indicating the direct product of TesE to be 4-hydroxy-2-oxohexanoic acid.
睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌TA441通过A环的芳构化作用,随后进行该环的间位裂解来利用睾酮。间位裂解反应的产物,即4,5-9,10-二裂-3-羟基-5,9,17-三氧代雄甾-1(10),2-二烯-4-酸,由水解酶TesD降解。我们直接分离并鉴定出TesD的两种产物,分别为9,17-二氧代-1,2,3,4,10,19-六降雄甾烷-5-酸和(2Z,4Z)-2-羟基己-2,4-二烯酸。后者是纯的4Z异构体。2-羟基己-2,4-二烯酸由水合酶TesE转化,从反应溶液中分离出的产物被鉴定为2-羟基-4-己-2-烯内酯,这表明TesE的直接产物是4-羟基-2-氧代己酸。
