Popis: | 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 (2 Z ,4 Z )-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienoic acid. The latter was a pure 4 Z 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. |
