Autoxidation of linoleic acid in a strong magnetic field (9.4 T) has been studied. Formation of the hydroperoxides has been monitored by the Fe(SCN)3 method, showing that the magnetic field accelerates the autoxidation of linoleic acid.

The CYP74 family of cytochromes P450 includes four enzymes of fatty acid hydroperoxide metabolism: allene oxide synthase (AOS), hydroperoxide lyase (HPL), divinyl ether synthase (DES), and epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS). The present work is concerned with catalytic specificities of three recombinant DESs, namely, the 9-DES (LeDES, CYP74D1) of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), 9-DES (NtDES, CYP74D3) of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and 13-DES (LuDES, CYP74B16) of flax (Linum usitatissimum), as well as their alterations upon the site-directed mutagenesis. Both LeDES and NtDES converted 9-hydroperoxides of linoleic and α?linolenic acids to divinyl ethers colneleic and colnelenic acids (respectively) with only minorities of HPL and EAS products. In contrast, LeDES and NtDES showed low efficiency towards the linoleate 13-hydroperoxide, affording only the low yield of epoxyalcohols. LuDES exhibited mainly the DES activity towards α?linolenate 13-hydroperoxide (preferred substrate), and HPL activity towards linoleate 13-hydroperoxide, respectively. In contrast, LuDES converted 9-hydroperoxides primarily to the epoxyalcohols. The F291V and A287G mutations within the I-helix groove region (SRS-4) of LuDES resulted in the loss of DES activity and the acquirement of the epoxyalcohol synthase activity. Thus, the studied enzymes exhibited the versatility of catalysis and its qualitative alterations upon the site-directed mutagenesis.

Plant lipoxygenases oxygenate linoleic acid to produce 13(S)-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoic acid (13(S)-HPOD) or 9-hydroperoxy-10E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid (9(S)-HPOD). The manner in which these enzymes bind substrates and the mechanisms by which they control regiospecificity are uncertain. Hornung et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96 (1999) 4192–4197) have identified an important residue, corresponding to phe-557 in soybean lipoxygenase-1 (SBLO-1). These authors proposed that large residues in this position favored binding of linoleate with the carboxylate group near the surface of the enzyme (tail-first binding), resulting in formation of 13(S)-HPOD. They also proposed that smaller residues in this position facilitate binding of linoleate in a head-first manner with its carboxylate group interacting with a conserved arginine residue (arg-707 in SBLO-1), which leads to 9(S)-HPOD. In the present work, we have tested these proposals on SBLO-1. The F557V mutant produced 33% 9-HPOD (S:R = 87:13) from linoleic acid at pH 7.5, compared with 8% for the wild-type enzyme and 12% with the F557V,R707L double mutant. Experiments with 11(S)-deuteriolinoleic acid indicated that the 9(S)-HPOD produced by the F557V mutant involves removal of hydrogen from the pro-R position on C-11 of linoleic acid, as expected if 9(S)-HPOD results from binding in an orientation that is inverted relative to that leading to 13(S)-HPOD. The product distributions obtained by oxygenation of 10Z,13Z-nonadecadienoic acid and arachidonic acid by the F557V mutant support the hypothesis that ω6 oxygenation results from tail-first binding and ω10 oxygenation from head-first binding. The results demonstrate that the regiospecificity of SBLO-1 can be altered by a mutation that facilitates an alternative mode of substrate binding and adds to the body of evidence that 13(S)-HPOD arises from tail-first binding.
