Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2105500A1] 12alpha -Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (12alpha -HSDH), obtained from Clostridium sp.and having a molecular weight of 27-30 kD, is new. Independent claims are included for: (1) 12alpha -HSDH-mutant with a modified cosubstrate-utilization; (2) a nucleic acid sequence comprising (a) a coding nucleic acid sequence that encodes a protein having (a1) a fully defined 270 amino acid (SEQ ID NO. 2) sequence given in the specification or a fully defined 257 amino acid (SEQ ID NO. 4) sequence given in the specification, each beginning at position +1 or +2 and a protein having (a2) an amino acid sequence derived from a sequence according to (a1) with a percentage identity of at least 60%, (b) a coding nucleic acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 1 (comprising a fully defined 813 base pair sequence given in the specification) or SEQ ID NO. 3 (comprising a fully defined 774 base pair sequence given in the specification), or (c) a coding nucleic acid sequence derived from the nucleic acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO. 1 or 3 with a percentage identity of at least 60%; (3) an expression cassette comprising the nucleic acid sequence under the genetic control of at least one regulative nucleic acid sequence; (4) a vector comprising at least one expression cassette; (5) recombinant microorganisms that carry at least one nucleic acid sequence or at least one expression cassette, transformed with at least one vector; (6) the preparation of 12alpha -HSDH; (7) a method for enzymatic oxidation of 12alpha -hydroxysteroid, comprising converting the hydroxysteroid in the presence of the above 12alpha -HSDH and optionally isolating at least one of the formed oxidation product from the reaction mixture; (8) a method for enzymatic reduction of 12-ketosteroid, comprising converting the ketosteroid in the presence of the above 12alpha -HSDH and optionally isolating at least one of the formed reduction product from the reaction mixture; (9) a bioreactor comprising 12alpha -HSDH in immobilized form; (10) a method for qualitative or quantitative measurement of 12-ketosteroid and/or 12alpha -hydroxysteroid, comprising subjecting the steroids to a redox reaction that is catalyzed by the 12alpha -HSDH in the presence of redox equivalent, measuring the change in the concentration of the redox equivalent and qualitatively or quantitatively measuring the 12-ketosteroid and/or 12alpha -hydroxy steroid; and (11) a method for preparing ursodeoxy cholic acid compounds of formula (I), comprising (aa1) oxidizing a cholic acid compound of formula (II), in the presence of 12alpha -HSDH, to its corresponding 12-keto chenodeoxycholic acid of formula (III), (aa2) subsequently converting (III), by deoxygenation, to chenodeoxycholic acid of formula (IV), (aa3) chemically oxidizing (IV), in position 7, to 7-keto-lithocholic acid of formula (V), (aa4) reducing (V) and (aa5) optionally further purifying the reaction product. R : alkyl, NR 1>R 2>, H, alkali metal ion or N(R 3>) 4 +>; R 1>, R 2> : not defined; R 3> : H or alkyl; and R 1> 1> : H or acyl. [Image] [Image] [Image].
