Efficiently catalyzes the reduction of progesterone, androstenedione, 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone to 5-beta-reduced metabolites. The bile acid intermediates 7-alpha,12-alpha-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and 7-alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one can also act as substrates.

The enzyme delta 4-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase (3-oxo-5 beta-steroid: NADP+ oxidoreductase and 4,5 beta-dihydrocortisone: NADP+ delta 4-oxidoreductase) catalyzes the reduction of the delta 4 double bond of bile acid intermediates and steroid hormones carrying the delta 4-3-one structure in the A/B cis configuration. Human delta 4-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase cDNA was isolated from a liver cDNA library by cross hybridization with a previously cloned rat cDNA, which was used as a probe [Onishi, Y. Noshiro, M., Shimosato, T. & Okuda, K.-I. (1991) FEBS Lett. 283, 215-218]. DNA sequence analysis of a hybridization-positive clone predicted the human delta 4-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase to contain 326 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of the human delta 4-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase had 79% overall identity to the rat enzyme sequence. It also showed 54% and 50% overall identity with rat 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and human aldose reductase, respectively. RNA blotting analysis demonstrated the existence of a single delta 4-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase mRNA of approximately 2.7 kb in human liver. Transfection of the cDNA into COS cells resulted in the expression of an active enzyme with a high activity toward the bile acid intermediates 7 alpha,12 alpha-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and 7 alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one. In addition, the expressed enzyme showed a small but significant 5 beta-reduction activity toward 11 beta,17 alpha,21-trihydroxy-delta 4-pregnene-3,20-dione (cortisol) and 17 beta-hydroxy-delta 4-androsten-3-one (testosterone) whereas no activity was observed toward delta 4-pregnene-3,20-dione (progesterone) or delta 4-androstene-3-17-dione (androstenedione). The substrate specificity of the human enzyme is considerably narrower than that of the rat enzyme, and the enzyme seems to be more important for bile acid biosynthesis than for metabolism of steroid hormones.

AKR1D1 (steroid 5beta-reductase) reduces all Delta(4)-3-ketosteroids to form 5beta-dihydrosteroids, a first step in the clearance of steroid hormones and an essential step in the synthesis of all bile acids. The reduction of the carbon-carbon double bond in an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone by 5beta-reductase is a unique reaction in steroid enzymology because hydride transfer from NADPH to the beta-face of a Delta(4)-3-ketosteroid yields a cis-A/B-ring configuration with an approximately 90 degrees bend in steroid structure. Here, we report the first x-ray crystal structure of a mammalian steroid hormone carbon-carbon double bond reductase, human Delta(4)-3-ketosteroid 5beta-reductase (AKR1D1), and its complexes with intact substrates. We have determined the structures of AKR1D1 complexes with NADP(+) at 1.79- and 1.35-A resolution (HEPES bound in the active site), NADP(+) and cortisone at 1.90-A resolution, NADP(+) and progesterone at 2.03-A resolution, and NADP(+) and testosterone at 1.62-A resolution. Complexes with cortisone and progesterone reveal productive substrate binding orientations based on the proximity of each steroid carbon-carbon double bond to the re-face of the nicotinamide ring of NADP(+). This orientation would permit 4-pro-(R)-hydride transfer from NADPH. Each steroid carbonyl accepts hydrogen bonds from catalytic residues Tyr(58) and Glu(120). The Y58F and E120A mutants are devoid of activity, supporting a role for this dyad in the catalytic mechanism. Intriguingly, testosterone binds nonproductively, thereby rationalizing the substrate inhibition observed with this particular steroid. The locations of disease-linked mutations thought to be responsible for bile acid deficiency are also revealed.
Protein involved in degradation of bile acids. Bile acids, which exist mainly as bile salts, are a family of carboxylic acid derivatives of cholesterol which play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They are made in the liver, stored in the gallblader, and secreted as needed into the intestines.
Protein involved in the breakdown of lipids, a diverse class of compounds, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, and which include fats, oils, triacylglycerols, fatty acids, glycolipids, phospholipids and steroids.

Protein involved in the biochemical reactions of steroids. Steroids are a large group of complex tetracyclic lipids that consist of a 17- carbon-ring system. Examples are bile acids, sterols, various hormones and saponins.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.
