A Novel Steroid-Coenzyme A Ligase from Novosphingobium sp. Strain Chol11 Is Essential for an Alternative Degradation Pathway for Bile Salts
Abstract
Bile salts such as cholate are steroid compounds with a C5 carboxylic side chain and occur ubiquitously in vertebrates. Upon their excretion into soils and waters, bile salts can serve as growth substrates for diverse bacteria. Novosphingobium sp. strain Chol11 degrades 7-hydroxy bile salts via 3-keto-7-deoxy-Δ4,6 metabolites by the dehydration of the 7-hydroxyl group catalyzed by the 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydratase Hsh2. This reaction has not...
