Function

A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that catalyzes the side-chain hydroxylation and cleavage of cholesterol to pregnenolone, the precursor of most steroid hormones (PubMed:21636783). Catalyzes three sequential oxidation reactions of cholesterol, namely the hydroxylation at C22 followed with the hydroxylation at C20 to yield 20R,22R-hydroxycholesterol that is further cleaved between C20 and C22 to yield the C21-steroid pregnenolone and 4-methylpentanal (PubMed:21636783). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate and reducing the second into a water molecule. Two electrons are provided by NADPH via a two-protein mitochondrial transfer system comprising flavoprotein FDXR (adrenodoxin/ferredoxin reductase) and nonheme iron-sulfur protein FDX1 or FDX2 (adrenodoxin/ferredoxin) (PubMed:21636783).

Activity summary

CYP11A1 also called cytochrome P450scc is an important enzyme that catalyzes the first step in steroid hormone biosynthesis. This enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 60 kDa. It is primarily located in the mitochondria of steroidogenic tissues such as the adrenal cortex testes and ovaries. CYP11A1 converts cholesterol into pregnenolone a precursor for all steroid hormones. Its gene expression is tightly regulated by trophic hormones which play an important role in modulating steroid production.

Biological function summary

CYP11A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily a large group of enzymes known for their role in oxidation and metabolism. It exists in the mitochondrial electron transport chain working closely with proteins such as ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase. These interactions facilitate the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. Through these biochemical activities CYP11A1 controls the synthesis rate of steroid hormones influencing various physiological functions including metabolism immune response and reproductive system dynamics.

Pathways

CYP11A1 operates within the steroidogenesis pathway which is essential for the synthesis of steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. It directly interacts with StAR protein which transports cholesterol into mitochondria initiating the steroidogenesis process. Moreover CYP11A1 fits into the pregnenolone biosynthesis pathway showing functional connectivity with other cytochrome P450 enzymes like CYP17A1. These interconnected pathways highlight the role of CYP11A1 as a vital catalyst in hormone synthesis affecting both endocrine and metabolic pathways.

Associated diseases and disorders

CYP11A1 mutations or expression abnormalities have associations with conditions such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and primary adrenal insufficiency. CAH arises from enzyme deficiencies in the steroidogenesis pathway and changes in CYP11A1 activity can exacerbate the disorder by altering cortisol and aldosterone synthesis. Additionally the enzyme’s link with StAR protein suggests a possible connection to lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia where defects in cholesterol transport may disrupt steroid production. Understanding these relationships helps in exploring therapeutic targets for steroid-related diseases.

    Key protocol steps: The section was incubated in three rounds of staining: in the order of Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - BSA and Azide free ab193555 (1:2000 dilution) and ab272494 (1:10000 dilution) for 30 mins, then Anti-DDX4 / MVH antibody [EPR24148-58] ab270534 (1:2000 dlilution) for 10 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.

    The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.

    DAPI was used as a nuclear counter stain. Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary.

    Antigen retrieval: Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins
