Catalyzes the hydrolysis of a carbon-carbon bond in 4,5: 9,10-diseco-3-hydroxy-5,9,17-trioxoandrosta-1(10),2-diene-4-oate (4,9-DSHA) to yield 9,17-dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oate (DOHNAA) and 2-hydroxy-hexa-2,4-dienoate (HHD). Is also able to catalyze the hydrolysis of 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid (HOPDA) and the synthetic analog 8-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-5-methyl-6-oxoocta-2,4-dienoic acid (HOPODA). (1E,2Z)-3-hydroxy-5,9,17-trioxo-4,5:9,10-disecoandrosta-1(10),2-dien-4-oate + H2O = (2Z,4Z)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienoate + 3-[(3aS,4S,7aS)-7a-methyl-1,5-dioxo-octahydro-1H-inden-4-yl]propanoate + H(+) 2,6-dioxo-6-phenylhexa-3-enoate + H2O = 2-oxopent-4-enoate + benzoate + H(+) Lipid metabolism; steroid biosynthesis. Homodimer. Induced by KstR. Cholesterol metabolism contributes to the survival of M.tuberculosis in the host by helping the bacterial multiplication during earlier stages of infection and to the dissemination of the pathogen in the host. Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. HsaD family.
