This application discloses a nonspecific
peroxidase CsaUPO derived from *Cladorrhinum samala*, whose
amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:1. This
enzyme efficiently catalyzes the 4,5β-epoxidation of
testosterone to produce 4,5β-epoxidized
testosterone, achieving a conversion rate of 98% and a separation yield of 90%, without producing
hydroxylation byproducts, and exhibiting excellent
regioselectivity. This application also discloses the
gene encoding CsaUPO, the recombinant
plasmid pPICZA-CsaUPO containing this
gene, a recombinant
Pichia pastoris engineered strain, and its application in
steroid epoxidation. The nonspecific
peroxidase CsaUPO disclosed in this application possesses advantages such as high
catalytic efficiency, specific
regioselectivity, a simple
reaction system, and environmental friendliness, providing a new enzymatic resource for the site-directed epoxidation modification of
steroid drugs.
