A sterol reductase responsible for the unusual 8(14)-unsaturation in bacterial sterol production and degradation

2026-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Sterols are a class of lipids that play a crucial role in human health through their essential physiological roles and as a point of interaction between commensal and pathogenic bacteria. The biosynthesis and modification of these lipids is a well-characterized process in many eukaryotes and increasingly in bacteria. However, the proteins responsible for formation of the unusual 8(14)-unsaturation found in the ste...
