The application belongs to the technical field of biocatalytic synthesis of
steroid drugs, and particularly relates to a
dehydrogenase, a
gene, an
engineering bacterium and application, the
amino acid sequence of the
dehydrogenase is SEQ ID NO. 1 or SEQ ID NO. 2, the
dehydrogenase has high
dehydrogenation activity, high
stereoselectivity and strong
regioselectivity, and no other conformation impurities are generated; the
engineering bacterium can efficiently secrete the dehydrogenase, and effectively improves the conversion efficiency of a substrate, especially for a substrate 6-methy format (11beta, 17alpha-dihydroxy-6alpha-methylpregna-1, 4-
diene-3, 20-
diketone), which is low in cost and has significant industrialization potential; the dehydrogenase
mutant has clear physicochemical properties, and the method of
whole cell catalysis is used, so that the cumbersome step of
enzyme purification is omitted, and the cost is reduced and the operation is simple.
