The induction of steroidal 11 beta-hydroxylase of Cochliobolus lunatus was studied and the effect of the structure of steroid inducers and additives on the extent of enzyme induction determined. 21-Hydroxyprogesterone was found to be the best inducer and Torlak peptone 1 the best additive. A certain parallelism was found between the induction of 11 beta-hydroxylase of Cochliobolus lunatus and 11 alpha-hydroxylase of Rhizopus nigricans.

Hydroxylation of steroids has acquired special relevance for the pharmaceutical industries. Particularly, the 11β-hydroxylation of steroids is a reaction of biotechnological importance currently carried out at industrial scale by the fungus Cochliobolus lunatus. In this work, we have identified the genes encoding the cytochrome CYP103168 and the reductase CPR64795 of C.

High population density alters insect prophylactic immunity, with density-dependent prophylaxis (DDP) being reported in many polyphonic insects. However, the molecular mechanism for DDP remains unclear. In current study, the role of tyramine β-hydroxylase (Tβh) in the immune response of larvae that were subject to different rearing densities conditions was investigated.

Menkes disease is a lethal infantile neurodegenerative disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in a P-type ATPase, ATP7A. Currently available treatment (daily subcutaneous copper injections) is not entirely effective in the majority of affected individuals. The mottled-brindled (mo-br) mouse recapitulates the Menkes phenotype, including abnormal copper transport to the brain owing to mutation in the murine homolog, Atp7a, and dies by 14 days of age.

It has been demonstrated that the mycelium of Curvularia lunata at the end of the logarithmic growth phase displays a maximal 11-hydroxylase activity towards cortexolone (4-6 g/l) used for transformation as a microcrystalline suspension in phosphate buffer. The mycelium at a later stage of fungal growth displays an elevated 14-hydroxylase activity, necessary for generation of 14-hydroxyandrostenedione. The effects of different forms of substrate added to the reaction mixture, age and concentration of mycelium, and fungal clones tolerant to salts of heavy metals (0.
