Minor Activities and Transition State Properties of the Human Steroid Hydroxylases Cytochromes P450c17 and P450c21, from Reactions Observed with Deuterium-Labeled Substrates

open access: yes, 2016
The steroid hydroxylases CYP17A1 (P450c17, 17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase) and CYP21A2 (P450c21, 21-hydroxylase) catalyze progesterone hydroxylation at one or more sites within a 2 Å radius.

Highly heterozygous Citrus changshan‐huyou Y. B. Chang originated from ancient hybridization between mandarin and pummelo and displayed distinct tissue‐specific allelic imbalance

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The genus Citrus is characterized by a reticulate evolutionary history with frequent hybridization, making it an intriguing subject for genome evolution investigation. Citrus changshan‐huyou Y. B. Chang (Huyou) is a unique landrace first discovered in Zhejiang Province, China, with premium fruit quality.

Oxygen‐independent expression of HIF‐1α during the cell cycle in hepatocellular carcinoma cells controls essential metabolic pathways under normoxia

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 11, Page 3140-3165, June 2026.
Intra‐tumoral oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) promotes the activation of hypoxia‐inducible factors (HIFs) that orchestrate the transcriptional adaptation of cancer cells to hypoxia. Hypoxia is prevalent in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a cancer type with limited therapeutic options.

Rethinking the role of HIF in hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 11, Page 3131-3134, June 2026.
Tumor hypoxia is a hallmark of cancer driving disease, in part through activation of hypoxia‐inducible factors (HIFs). While HIF‐1α is classically understood as a hypoxia‐responsive transcription factor, its role under normoxic conditions in cells is less clear.

Chemical suppression of steroidogenesis.

open access: yes, 1981
A large number of chemicals are known to interfere with steroidogenesis in the adrenal cortex and other tissues. Many xenobiotics inhibit steroid hormone production as a result of interactions with cytochrome P-450-containing hydroxylases in adrenal ...

Enhancing Dopamine Accumulation in Secretory Vesicles of PC12 Cells: Mechanisms, Applications and Limitations

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Schematic representation of a large dense‐core vesicle in PC12 cells highlighting its main molecular organization. The diagram illustrates the presence of membrane transporters, proton pumps and intravesicular matrix proteins that establish the electrochemical gradients required for neurotransmitter uptake, vesicle acidification and efficient storage ...

Genetic and structural analyses of cytochrome P450 hydroxylases in sex hormone biosynthesis: Sequential origin and subsequent coevolution

open access: yes, 2016
Biosynthesis of steroid hormones in vertebrates involves three cytochrome P450 hydroxylases, CYP11A1, CYP17A1 and CYP19A1, which catalyze sequential steps in steroidogenesis.

Studies on steroid hydroxylations in the adrenal cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 1972
Methods were developed for the preparation of large quantities of bovine adrenal cortex mitochondria. Adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase, two components of the steroid hydroxylases found in these mitochondria, were isolated and examined.
