    Abstract:
    After solubilization of rat adrenal microsomes with sodium cholate, 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with steroid 5-ene-4-ene isomerase (abbreviated as steroid isomerase) activity was purified to a homogeneous state. The following characteristics of the enzyme were obtained: 3 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase together with steroid isomerase was detected as a single protein band in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, where its mol. wt was estimated as 46,500. Either NAD+ or NADH was required for demonstration of steroid isomerase activity. Treatment of the enzyme with 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine, an affinity labeling reagent for NAD+-dependent enzyme, diminished both the enzyme activities.
