3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity of the Y' bile acid binders in rat liver cytosol. Identification, kinetics, and physiologic significance.

Abstract: Rat Y' bile acid binders (33 kD) have been previously recognized as cytosolic bile acid binding proteins (Sugiyama, Y., T. Yamada, and N. Kaplowitz, 1983, J. Biol. Chem., 258:3602-3607). We have now determined that these Y' binders are 3a-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3a-HSD), bile acid-metabolizing enzymes. 3a-HSD activity copurified with lithocholic acid-binding activity after sequential gel filtration, chromatofocusing, and affinity chromatography. Three peaks of 3a-HSD activity (I, II, III) were observed… Show more

“…In hepatocytes, bile acids bind to cytosolic bile acid binding protein, which is a member of the monomeric reductase gene family and has dihydrodiol dehydrogenase activity but does not have activity toward bile acids in human (22). In contrast, the major bile acid binder is identical to 3␣-HSD in rat hepatocytes (23). The bile acid binding protein may assist in the rapid intracellular transport of bile acids from the sinusoidal pole to the canalicular pole of the cell.…”

“…In the liver, its distinct, high affinity bile acid binding affinity suggests a role in bile acid transport along with steroid metabolism, while in other tissues it may modulate androgen activity. In rat liver, a single rat 3 ␣ -HSD (AKR1C9) is expressed, which has a role in synthesis of primary bile acids from cholesterol as well as sequestration of bile acids within the cytosol (22)(23)(24)(25). Structural analysis of these mammalian HSDs has revealed highly conserved amino acid sequences and a three-dimensional structure consisting of an 8-chain ␣ / ␤ barrel (26,27).…”

“…Cytosolic CarbonyVquinone reductases include species (and tissue-specific isoforms of prostaglandin dehydrogenases and hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3a-HSD, 17P-HSD, 20a-HSD, 20P-HSD isoforms ; as reviewed in Maser, 1995) and, until now, have been grouped either into the aldoketo reductase or short-chain dehydrogenase protein superfamilies (Bohren et al, 1989;Krook et al, 1993a, b;Klein et al, 1992;Bruce et al, 1994). The oxidation of trans-dihydrodiols of ultimate carcinogenic aromatic compounds to their non-carcinogenic catechol metabolites is also mediated by enzymes which belong to the above mentioned groups, and which are often identical to each other, such as cytosolic rat liver 3a-HSDl dihydrodiol dehydrogenase/bile-acid-binding protein (Stolz et al, 1987;Smithgall et al, 1988). Their expression results in a decrease in the mutagenic potential of certain polyaromatic compounds (Glatt et al, 1979;Stolz et al, 1991 ;Pawlowski et al, 1991;Cheng et al, 1991;Klein et al, 1992;Qin et al, 1993).…”
