Purification and properties of a newBrevibacterium sterolicumcholesterol oxidase produced byE. coliMM294/pnH10

Abstract: A gene encoding a cholesterol oxidase from Brevibacterium sterolicum nov. sp. ATCC21387 was isolated by an expression cloning method and highly expressed by a recombinant strain Escherichia coli MM294/pnH10. The purified cholesterol oxidase was a typical flavoprotein with a molecular mass of 46.5 kDa, absorption peaks at 280, 360, and 450 nm. Optimum pH and temperature were found at pH 6.5 and 55 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme acted on 3beta-hydroxysteroids such as cholesterol, pregnenolone, and beta-sito… Show more

“…Fermented dairy products have lower amount of dietary cholesterol than native milk. Reduction of cholesterol in fermented dairy products is due to the activities of cholesterol disrupting enzymes such as cholesterol reductase and cholesterol oxidase [ 44 ]. Kefir prepared from Streptococci , lactobacilli , yeast and acetic acid bacteria had lower levels of dietary cholesterol than parent milk, amount of cholesterol in kefir during 24 and 48 h storage period was 16% and 43% less than native milk [ 45 ].…”

“…Our study showed K m value of 0.043 mM and V max as 2.21 μmol/min/mg, which were much higher than earlier reports obtained from other microbial sources, like Nocardia sp. [K m value was 69 mM] 45 , Brevibacterium sterolicum [1.1 mM] 46 , and Streptomyces sp. [101.3 μM and 21.93 μM/min/mg] 10 .…”

“…Furthermore, the enzyme was active on cholestanol, 7-dehydrocholesterol and dehydroepiandrosterone (15–37 % rel. activity) (Table 6 , entries 2, 4 and 8), and 5 % relative activity was found on 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (Table 6 , entry 11) (Labaree et al 1997 ; Toyama et al 2002 ; Wang et al 2008 , Fujishiro et al 2002 ; Xiang and Sampson 2004 ). Moreover, cholesterol oxidase from B. sterolicum was employed for the oxidation of 7α- and 7β-hydroxycholesterol (90 % conv.)…”
