o-Hydroxylation (26-hydroxylation) of various C,,-steroids by the microsomal and mitochondrial fraction was studied. Assay conditions for the microsomal 26-hydroxylation were determined with 5~-cholestane-3a,7a-diol as substrate. NADPH was the required cofactor. NADH stimulated the hydroxylation at suboptimal concentrations of NADPH. The hydroxylation was inhibited markedly by carbon monoxide. Treatment with phenobarbital inhibited the reaction whereas starvation or biliary drainage had no significant effect. The rates of microsomal 26-hydroxylation of different C,,-steroids expressed in nmol/mg protein per 20 min were cholesterol, < 0.1 ; 5-cholestene-3#?,7a-diol, < 0.1 ; 7a-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, 0.3 ; 7a,12a-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, 0.9 ; 5/?-cholestane-3a,7a-diol, 1.8 ; 5/?-cholestane-3a,7a,i2a-triol, 2.7. Assay conditions for the mitochondrial 26-hydroxylation were determined with cholesterol and 5~-cholestane-3a,7a-diol as substrates. The rate of reaction was faster with an NADPHgenerating system than with NADPH. The reaction was inhibited markedly with carbon monoxide. Biliary drainage inhibited the reaction whereas starvation or treatment with phenobarbital had no significant effect. The rates of mitochondrial 26-hydroxylation of different C,,-steroids expressed in nmol/mg protein per 20 min were : cholesterol, 0.3 ; 5-cholestene-3p,7adiol, 0.9 ; 7a-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, 1.7 ; 7a,12a-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, 0.9 ; 5/?-cholestane-3a,7aw-diol, 0.9 ; 5~-cholestane-3a,7a,l2a-triol, 2.0. The results are consistent with previously postulated pathways concerning biosynthesis of cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid in which 5/?-cholestane-3a,7a, 12n-trio1 and 5/?-cholestane3a,7a-diol, respectively are the main substrates for the 26-hydroxylase. The possibility is discussed that pathways involving intermediary formation of 7a,26-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and 7a,12a,26-trihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one also are of importance in the biosynthesis of bile acids.
