The cDNA coding for the precursor protein of rat liver mitochondrial vitamin D3 25-hydroxylase, cytochrome P450LMT25, was expressed under the control of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase I promoter and terminator in Saccharomyces cerevisiae AH22 cells. The transformed yeast cells produced a P450LMT25 protein with an almost similar apparent molecular weight as compared with that of the authentic mature enzyme. The expression level of the P450LMT25 hemoprotein was about 5 x 10(4) molecules per cell as determined by reduced CO-difference spectra. The mitochondrial fraction prepared from the transformed yeast cells exhibited both 25-hydroxylase activity toward 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 27-hydroxylase activity toward 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol in a reconstituted system containing bovine adrenodoxin and NADPH-adrenodoxin reductase.

Rat cytochrome P-450(M-1) cDNA was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae TD1 cells by using a yeast-Escherichia coli shuttle vector consisting of P-450(M-1) cDNA, yeast alcohol dehydrogenase promoter and yeast cytochrome c terminator. The yeast cells synthesized up to 2 X 10(5) molecules of P-450(M-1) per cell. The microsomal fraction prepared from the transformed cells contained 0.1 nmol of cytochrome P-450 per mg of protein. The expressed cytochrome P-450 catalyzed 16 alpha- and 2 alpha-hydroxylations of testosterone in accordance with the catalytic activity of P-450(M-1), but did not hydroxylate vitamin D3 or 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol at the 25 position. The expressed cytochrome P-450 also catalyzed the oxidation of several drugs and did not show 25-hydroxylation activity toward 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol. However, it cross-reacted with the polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies elicited against purified P-450cc25 which catalyzed the 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3. These results indicated that P-450(M-1) cDNA coded the 2 alpha- and 16 alpha-hydroxylase of testosterone, and that these two positions of testosterone are hydroxylated by a single form of cytochrome P-450. Vitamin D3 25-hydroxylase and testosterone 16 alpha- and 2 alpha-hydroxylase are different gene products, although these two hydroxylase activities are immunochemically indistinguishable.
