- Abstract
We previously isolated three monomeric dihydrodiol dehydrogenases, DD1, DD2 and DD4, from human liver, and cloned a cDNA (C9) thought to encode DD2, which is identical with those for human bile-acid-binding protein and an oxidoreductase of human colon carcinoma HT29 cells. In the present study we have provided evidence that the C9 cDNA clone encodes DD1, not DD2. A recombinant enzyme expressed from the cDNA in a bacterial system was purified, and its catalytic properties, bile-acid-binding ability and primary sequence were compared with those of the hepatic dihydrodiol dehydrogenases. The results show that DD1 encoded by C9 possesses prostaglandin F synthase activity but low affinity for lithocholic acid, whereas DD2, showing differences of six amino acid residues from the DD1 sequence, exhibited high-affinity binding for the bile acid. Refined relationship between dihydrodiol dehydrogenases and their related proteins of human tissues is proposed.
