Inhibition of Soybean Lipoxygenases – Structural and Activity Models for the Lipoxygenase Isoenzymes Family
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lipoxygenases (EC 1.13.11.12, linoleate:oxygen, oxidoreductases, LOXs) which are widely found in plants, fungi, and animals, are a large monomeric protein family with non-heme, non-sulphur, iron cofactor containing dioxygenases that catalyze the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) as substrate with at least one 1Z, 4Z-pentadiene moiety such as linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acid to yield hydroperoxides (Gardner, 1991).

Lipoxygenase isoenzymes: a spectroscopic and structural characterization of soybean seed enzymes.
Applying recent developments in protein purification techniques, a number of lipoxygenase isoenzymes have been isolated in satisfactory quantities for a detailed physical and structural characterization. Four seed isoenzymes from two soybean cultivars have been studied by peptide mapping, free thiol and iron content determinations, and C-terminal analysis as well as by uv-visible absorption and...

Objective(s): 15-Lipoxygenases are one of the iron-containing proteins capable of performing peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in animals and plants. The critical role of enzymes in the formation of inflammations, sensitivities, and some cancers has been demonstrated in mammals. The importance of enzymes has led to the development of mechanistic studies, product analysis, and synthesis of ...

I. A third isoenzyme of soybean lipoxygenase (linoleate: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.13.I.13) has been purified to essential homogeneity by Sephadex DEAEA5o column chromatography and isoelectric focusing. 2. The enzyme differs from the two previously described pure isoenzymes (lipoxygenases-i and -2) 1 by the following criteria: elution profile from DEAESephadex, isoelectric point, pH activity ...
متن کاملStructure conservation in lipoxygenases: structural analysis of soybean lipoxygenase-1 and modeling of human lipoxygenases.
Lipoxygenases are a class of non-heme iron dioxygenases which catalyze the hydroperoxidation of fatty acids for the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and lipoxins. The structure of the 839-residue soybean lipoxygenase-1 was used as a template to model human 5-, 12-, and 15-lipoxygenases. A distance-based algorithm for placing side chains in a low homology environment (only the four iron ligands were...
