Identification of 17 beta-estradiol as the estrogenic substance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract:

:Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses a high-affinity estrogen binding protein and an endogenous ligand that displaces [3H]estradiol from both the yeast binding protein and mammalian estrogen receptors. Semipurified preparations of this ligand have been shown to exhibit estrogenic activity in mammalian systems. We now describe the purification procedure and ultimate identification of the estrogenic substance in extracts of S. cerevisiae as 17 beta-estradiol. Organic solvent extracts of commercially obtained dried yeast were sequentially chromatographed on silica gel columns and then subjected to a series of reversed phase HPLC fractionations. Active ligand was monitored by [3H]estradiol displacement in a rat uterine cytosol assay. After seven chromatography steps, the purified and highly active ligand exhibited a single peak with retention times identical to those of 17 beta-estradiol on both HPLC and GC. The yeast material was identified as 17 beta-estradiol by its UV absorbance and mass spectrometric fragmentation pattern. In addition, radioimmunoassay confirmed the presence of approximately the same mass of 17 beta-estradiol (approximately equal to 800 ng/1.5 kg of yeast) as estimated both by a competitive binding assay with estrogen receptor and by mass spectrometry. Extraneous contamination by estradiol was excluded by repeat experiments with different batches of starting material and demonstration of estradiol by RIA in conditioned medium and cell pellets of laboratory-grown S. cerevisiae whereas non-conditioned medium did not possess the steroid. We conclude that 17 beta-estradiol is a yeast product.
