Plant oxylipins, including hydroxy fatty acids, epoxy hydroxy fatty acids, and trihydroxy fatty acids, which are biosynthesized from C18 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are involved in pathogen-specific defense mechanisms against fungal infections. However, their quantitative biotransformation by plant enzymes has not been reported. A few bacteria produce C18 trihydroxy fatty acids, but the enzymes and pathways related to the biosynthesis of plant oxylipins in bacteria have not been reported. In this study, we first report the biotransformation of C18 PUFAs into plant C18 oxylipins by expressing linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase with and without epoxide hydrolase from the proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus in recombinant Escherichia coli. Among the nine types of plant oxylipins, 12,13-epoxy-14-hydroxy-cis,cis-9,15-octadecadienoic acid was identified as a new compound by NMR analysis, and 9,10,11-hydroxy-cis,cis-6,12-octadecadienoic acid and 12,13,14-trihydroxy-cis,cis-9,15-octadecadienoic were suggested as new compounds by LC-MS/MS analysis. This study shows that bioactive plant oxylipins can be produced by microbial enzymes.

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.

Young roots of wheat, barley, and sorghum, as well as methyl jasmonate pretreated rice seedlings, undergo an unprecedented allene oxide synthase pathway targeted to previously unknown oxylipins 1–3. These Favorskii-type products, (4Z)-2-pentyl-4-tridecene-1,13-dioic acid (1), (2′Z)-2-(2′-octenyl)-decane-1,10-dioic acid (2), and (2′Z,5′Z)-2-(2′,5′-octadienyl)-decane-1,10-dioic acid (3), have a carboxy function at the side chain, as revealed by their MS and NMR spectral data. Compounds 1–3 were the major oxylipins detected, along with the related α-ketols. Products 1–3 were biosynthesized from (9Z,11E,13S)-13-hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid, (9S,10E,12Z)-9-hydroperoxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid (9-HPOD), and (9S,10E,12Z,15Z)-9-hydroperoxy-10,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid, respectively, via the corresponding allene oxides and cyclopropanones. The data indicate that conversion of the allene oxide into the cyclopropanone is controlled by soluble cyclase. The short-lived cyclopropanones are hydrolyzed to products 1–3. The collective name “graminoxins” has been ascribed to oxylipins 1–3.

Lipid and lipid metabolite profiling are important parameters in understanding the pathogenesis of many diseases. Alkynylated polyunsaturated fatty acids are potentially useful probes for tracking the fate of fatty acid metabolites. The nonenzymatic and enzymatic oxidations of ω-alkynyl linoleic acid and ω-alkynyl arachidonic acid were compared to that of linoleic and arachidonic acid. There was no detectable difference in the primary products of nonenzymatic oxidation, which comprised cis,trans-hydroxy fatty acids. Similar hydroxy fatty acid products were formed when ω-alkynyl linoleic acid and ω-alkynyl arachidonic acid were reacted with lipoxygenase enzymes that introduce oxygen at different positions in the carbon chains. The rates of oxidation of ω-alkynylated fatty acids were reduced compared to those of the natural fatty acids. Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 did not oxidize alkynyl linoleic but efficiently oxidized alkynyl arachidonic acid. The products were identified as alkynyl 11-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid, alkynyl 11-hydroxy-8,9-epoxy-eicosatrienoic acid, and alkynyl prostaglandins. This deviation from the metabolic profile of arachidonic acid may limit the utility of alkynyl arachidonic acid in the tracking of cyclooxygenase-based lipid oxidation. The formation of alkynyl 11-hydroxy-8,9-epoxy-eicosatrienoic acid compared to alkynyl prostaglandins suggests that the ω-alkyne group causes a conformational change in the fatty acid bound to the enzyme, which reduces the efficiency of cyclization of dioxalanyl intermediates to endoperoxide intermediates. Overall, ω-alkynyl linoleic acid and ω-alkynyl arachidonic acid appear to be metabolically competent surrogates for tracking the fate of polyunsaturated fatty acids when looking at models involving autoxidation and oxidation by lipoxygenases.

One of the most significant properties of lipoxygenase (LOX) as a biocatalyst is its stereo-selective oxygenation. In this study, the stereo-specific production of 9R-hydroxy-10E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid (9R-HODE) from linoleic acid was achieved using whole recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing LOX from Nostoc sp. SAG 25.82. The optimal conditions for the production of 9R-HODE were pH 7.5, 25 °C, 40 g l-1 cells, 15 g l-1 linoleic acid, 2% (v/v) methanol, 1 working volume/oxygen volume/min (vvm) oxygenation rate, and 250 rpm agitation speed in 500 ml-baffled flask containing a working volume of 50 ml. Under these optimized conditions, whole recombinant cells expressing 9R-LOX protein produced 14.3 g l-1 9R-HODE for 1 h, with a conversion yield of 95% (w/w) and a productivity of 14.3 g l-1 h-1. The oxygen supply method significantly influenced stereo- and regio-selectivity of the oxygenation of linoleic acid. Among the oxygen supply methods tested, oxygenation (1 vvm) with agitation (250 rpm) resulted in the highest 9R/13S-HODE ratio of the products at 96:4. This is the first application using whole recombinant cells harboring R-specific LOX for the stereo-selective production of an R-specific hydroxy fatty acid.

Jasmonic acid (JA) is synthesized from linolenic acid (18:3n-3) by sequential action of 13-lipoxygenase, allene oxide synthase (AOS), and allene oxide cyclase. The fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae can produce large amounts of JA and was recently reported to form the JA precursor 12-oxophytodienoic acid. The objective of our study was to characterize the fatty acid dioxygenase activities of this fungus. Two strains of L. theobromae with low JA secretion (～0.2 mg/L medium) oxygenated 18:3n- 3 to 5,8-dihydroxy-9Z,12Z,15Z- octadecatrienoic acid as well as 9R-hydroperoxy-10E,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoic acid, which was metabolized by an AOS activity into 9-hydroxy-10-oxo-12Z,15Z- octadecadienoic acid. Analogous conversions were observed with linoleic acid (18:2n-6). Studies using [11S-2H]18:2n-6 revealed that the putative 9R-dioxygenase catalyzed stereospecific removal of the 11R hydrogen followed by suprafacial attack of dioxygen at C-9. Mycelia from these strains of L. theobromae contained 18:2n-6 as the major polyunsaturated acid but lacked 18:3n-3. A third strain with a high secretion of JA (～200 mg/L) contained 18:3n-3 as a major fatty acid and produced 5,8-dihydroxy-9Z,12Z,15Z- octadecatrienoic acid from added 18:3n-3. This strain also lacked the JA biosynthetic enzymes present in higher plants.

Lipoxygenases (LOX) form a heterogeneous family of lipid peroxidizing enzymes, which catalyze specific dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. According to their positional specificity of linoleic acid oxygenation plant LOX have been classified into linoleate 9- and linoleate 13-LOX and recent reports identified a critical valine at the active site of 9-LOX. In contrast, more bulky phenylalanine or histidine residues were found at this position in 13-LOX. We have recently cloned a LOX-isoform from Momordica charantia and multiple amino acid alignments indicated the existence of a glutamine (Gln599) at the position were 13-LOX usually carry histidine or phenylalanine residues. Analyzing the pH-dependence of the positional specificity of linoleic acid oxygenation we observed that at pH-values higher than 7.5 this enzyme constitutes a linoleate 13-LOX whereas at lower pH, 9-H(P)ODE was the major reaction product. Site-directed mutagenesis of glutamine 599 to histidine (Gln599His) converted the enzyme to a pure 13-LOX. These data confirm previous observation suggesting that reaction specificity of certain LOX-isoforms is not an absolute enzyme property but may be impacted by reaction conditions such as pH of the reaction mixture. We extended this concept by identifying glutamine 599 as sequence determinant for such pH-dependence of the reaction specificity. Although the biological relevance for this alteration switch remains to be investigated it is of particular interest that it occurs at near physiological conditions in the pH-range between 7 and 8.

Lipoxygenases (LOXs) consist of a class of enzymes that catalyze the regio- and stereospecific dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Current reports propose that a conserved glycine residue in the active site of R-lipoxygenases and an alanine residue at the corresponding position in S-lipoxygenases play a crucial role in determining the stereochemistry of the product. Recently, a bifunctional lipoxygenase with a linoleate diol synthase activity from Nostoc sp. PCC7120 with R stereospecificity and the so far unique feature of carrying an alanine instead of the conserved glycine in the position of the sequence determinant for chiral specificity was identified. The recombinant carboxy-terminal domain was purified after expression in Escherichia coli. The ability of the enzyme to use linoleic acid esterified to a bulky phosphatidylcholine molecule as a substrate suggested a tail-fist binding orientation of the substrate. Site directed mutagenesis of the alanine to glycine did not cause alterations in the stereospecificity of the products, while mutation of the alanine to valine or isoleucine modified both regio- and enantioselectivity of the enzyme. Kinetic measurements revealed that substitution of Ala by Gly or Val did not significantly influence the reaction characteristics, while the A162I mutant showed a reduced vmax. Based on the mutagenesis data obtained, we suggest that the existing model for stereocontrol of the lipoxygenase reaction may be expanded to include enzymes that seem to have in general a smaller amino acid in R and a bulkier one in S lipoxygenases at the position that controls stereospecificity.
