Bovine adrenocortical mitochondria were sonicated and subjected to extraction with sodium cholate. The extract contained not only cytochrome P-450 activities, but also an activity which catalyzed the conversion of deoxycorticosterone to an unknown steroid (designated X). The latter activity was concentrated by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation in the presence of sodium cholate, and separated from P-450 by taking advantage of their different solubilities in phosphate buffer without sodium cholate. The specific activity of the partially purified enzyme fraction was 70 times higher than that of sonicated mitochondria.The conversion of deoxycorticosterone to steroid X required NAD or NADP. The conversion rate was dependent on the concentration of deoxycorticosterone. The major product, steroid X, was isolated from the reaction mixture by means of silicic acid and latrobeads column chromatography. The steroid was characterized as 3-keto-4-etienic acid (3-oxoandrost-4-ene-17β-carboxylic acid). This result suggests that an enzyme system for the conversion of deoxycorticosterone to 3-keto-4-etienic acid exists in adrenocortical mitochondria.
