Biosynthesis of cholesterol represents one of the funda-mental cellular metabolic processes. SterolD14-reductase (D14-SR) is a microsomal enzyme involved in the con-version of lanosterol to cholesterol in mammals. Amino-acid sequence analysis of a 38-kDa protein puri®ed from bovine liver in our laboratory revealed 90% similarity with a human sterol reductase, SR-1, encoded by the TM7SF2gene, and with the C-terminal domain of human lamin B receptor. | Eur.

Sterol A14-reductase A14-SR is a microsomal enzyme involved in the conversion of lanosterol to cholesterol in mammals. Aminoacid sequence analysis of a 38-kDa protein purihed from bovine liver in our laboratory revealed 90 similarity with a human sterol reductase SR-1 encoded by the TM7SF2 gene and with the C-terminal domain of human lamin B receptor. A cDNA encoding the 38-kDa protein similar to human TM7SF2 was identihed by analysis of a bovine expressed sequence tag EST database. The cDNA was synthesized by RT-PCR cloned and sequenced. The cDNA encodes a 418 amino-acid polypeptide with nine predicted transmembrane domains. The deduced amino-acid sequence exhibits high similarity with A14-SR from yeasts fungi and plants 55-59 suggesting that the bovine cDNA encodes A14-SR. Northern blot analysis of bovine tissues showed high expression of mRNA in liver and brain. The polypeptide encoded by the cloned cDNA was expressed in COS-7 cells. Immunofluorescence analysis of transfected cells revealed a distribution of the protein throughout the ER. COS-7 cells expressing the protein exhibited A14-SR activity about sevenfold higher than control cells. These results demonstrate that the cloned bovine cDNA encodes A14-SR and provide evidence that the human TM7SF2 gene encodes A14-SR. Keywords sterol biosynthesis sterol
