Journal ArticleDOI

Functional expression of human mitochondrial CYP11B2 in fission yeast and identification of a new internal electron transfer protein, etp1

TL;DR: It was found that overexpression of this gene significantly enhances steroid hydroxylase activity of CYP11B2 expressing fission yeast cells, and a gene was identified that codes for a protein with an amino terminal domain homologous to COX15 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a carboxy terminal ferredoxin domain to be named etp1 (electron-transfer protein 1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a test system for inhibitors of human aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2): screening in fission yeast and evaluation of selectivity in V79 cells.

TL;DR: A potent and rather selective non-steroidal inhibitor of human CYP11B2 was detected with an IC(50) value of 59nM and a very potent inhibitor of both enzymes showing a stronger inhibitory activity against the cortisol producing CYP 11B1 was identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human steroid hydroxylases CYP1B1 and CYP11B2.

TL;DR: The pharmacological and toxicological importance of these steroid hydroxylases, the means for the identification of their potential inhibitors and possible biotechnological applications are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D3 Metabolism in Human Glioblastoma Multiforme: Functionality of CYP27B1 Splice Variants, Metabolism of Calcidiol, and Effect of Calcitriol

TL;DR: The findings show that glioblastoma multiforme cell lines metabolize calcidiol and the effect of vitamin D3 metabolites on proliferation, and various effects mediated by calcitriol are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and evaluation of imidazolylmethylenetetrahydronaphthalenes and imidazolylmethyleneindanes: potent inhibitors of aldosterone synthase.

TL;DR: This study proposed aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) as a novel target for the treatment of congestive heart failure and myocardial fibrosis and the synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted E- and Z-imidazolylmethylenetetrahydronaphthalenes and E-
