A cDNA clone encoding the complete rat 17 alpha-hydroxylase (P450(17 alpha] from testis has been identified and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence is found to have 69% similarity with human P450(17 alpha), 64% similarity with bovine P450(17 alpha), and 47% similarity with chicken P450(17 alpha). The protein contains 507 amino acids being one amino acid shorter than the human P450(17 alpha) as the result of a codon being absent at the position of amino acid 139 in the human sequence. The cDNA hybridizes to a single mRNA (approximately 2.0 kilobases) in rat testis RNA and Southern analysis indicates the presence of a single CYP17 gene in the rat genome. Expression of this cDNA in COS1 cells leads to production of a steroid hydroxylase which is capable of converting both 17 alpha-hydroxypregnenolone and 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone into C19 steroids, dehydroepiandrosterone, and androstenedione, respectively. This activity profile is distinct from that of either the human or bovine forms of P450(17 alpha) which are unable to catalyze 17,20-lyase conversion of delta 4-C21 steroids to delta 4-C19 steroids at significant rates.
