Revised Manuscript Received November 23, 1992 abstract: Complementary DNA (cDNA) clones encoding bovine testicular 20a-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20a-HSD) have been isolated from a bovine testicular Xgtl 1 library using polyclonal antibodies against 20a-HSD and DNA probe hybridization. Nucleotide sequencing of three independently isolated clones was used to establish a composite cDNA sequence that encodes the enzyme. It contains a coding sequence of 921 nucleotides, a stop codon, and a 264-nucleotide 3/-noncoding segment which allowed deduction of the amino acid sequence of the enzyme. A computer homology search of the 20a-HSD cDNA performed against the GenBank DNA sequence database revealed it to be identical with bovine lens aldose reductase (alditohNADPH oxidoreductase; EC 1.1. 1.21), and a literature search revealsthe deduced amino acid sequence to be identical with that reported for the bovineenzyme. Sequences obtainedfrom the N-terminus of purified testicular 20a-HSD and from random peptides obtained by treatment with endopeptidase Lys-C are all identical with regions of the deduced amino acid sequence of 20a-HSD and/or the published sequence of aldose reductase. Further, theenzyme purified to homogeneity by following activity with 17-hydroxyprogesterone as a substrate was shown to reduce glucose, glyceraldehyde, and benzaldehyde (all classic aldose reductase substrates). Finally, 17-hydroxyprogesterone inhibited the reduction of benzaldehyde and glyceraldehyde. Because aldose reductase has been implicatedin the etiology of diabetic complications, acceptance of steroid substrates may offer new implications for therapy.Shikita and co-workers reported the presence of a 20ahydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20a-HSD) 1 in rat and porcine testis (Shikita et al., 1967; Sato et al., 1972). The enzyme was shown to bea monomer(MT 35 000) and tolack 170-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (170-HSD) activity toward estrone. TheNomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry recommended the name 20a-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase for this enzyme andassigned it the number EC 1.1. 1.149 (Nomenclature Committee, 1979). While engaged in studies designed to define the topography of the steroid binding site and the catalytic mechanisms of mammalian steroid-interconverting enzymes, we had crys-tallized human placental 170-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Chin et al., 1976) and identified the steroid domain and certain
