Class

Sysname

cholesterol,reduced-adrenodoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (side-chain-cleaving)

Reaction(IUBMB)

cholesterol + 6 reduced adrenodoxin + 3 O2 + 6 H+ = pregnenolone + 4-methylpentanal + 6 oxidized adrenodoxin + 4 H2O (overall reaction) [RN:R02724];
(1a) cholesterol + 2 reduced adrenodoxin + O2 + 2 H+ = (22R)-22-hydroxycholesterol + 2 oxidized adrenodoxin + H2O [RN:R02723];
(1b) (22R)-22-hydroxycholesterol + 2 reduced adrenodoxin + O2 + 2 H+ = (20R,22R)-20,22-dihydroxycholesterol + 2 oxidized adrenodoxin + H2O [RN:R04855];
(1c) (20R,22R)-20,22-dihydroxy-cholesterol + 2 reduced adrenodoxin + O2 + 2 H+ = pregnenolone + 4-methylpentanal + 2 oxidized adrenodoxin + 2 H2O [RN:R03933]

Reaction(KEGG)

R02723 R02724 R03933 R04855;
(other) R01454 R04676 R04854

Substrate

cholesterol [CPD:C00187];
reduced adrenodoxin [CPD:C00662];
O2 [CPD:C00007];
H+ [CPD:C00080];
(22R)-22-hydroxycholesterol [CPD:C05502];
(20R,22R)-20,22-dihydroxy-cholesterol

Product

pregnenolone [CPD:C01953];
4-methylpentanal [CPD:C02373];
oxidized adrenodoxin [CPD:C00667];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
(22R)-22-hydroxycholesterol [CPD:C05502];
(20R,22R)-20,22-dihydroxycholesterol

Comment

A heme-thiolate protein (cytochrome P-450). The reaction proceeds in three stages, with two hydroxylations at C-22 and C-20 preceding scission of the side-chain between carbons 20 and 22. The initial source of the electrons is NADPH, which transfers the electrons to the adrenodoxin via EC 1.18.1.6, adrenodoxin-NADP+ reductase.
