Hepoxilins (HXs) and trioxilins (TrXs) are lipid mediators that regulate diverse physiological processes at trace amounts in humans. They have been synthesized by chemical methods, which have disadvantages such as low yield, byproduct formation, and use of toxic chemical reagents. Here, we reported the identification of ten types of HXs and TrXs synthesized by recombinant Escherichia coli expressing bacterial arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase and/or epoxide hydrolase using five polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Of these, eight types were new. The discovery was due to the microbial enzymes with high activities for the same catalytic activities as those of human enzymes. We succeeded in the efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly biotransformation of PUFAs into nine types of HXs and TrXs by cells, yielding >10 g L-1 of 14,15-HXB3 and 13,14,15-TrXB3, with conversion yields of >70%. Our study contributes to the environmentally friendly synthesis of medicinally important lipid mediators.

Lipoxygenases (LOXs) catalyze the dioxygenation of PUFAs to produce regio- and stereospecific oxygenated fatty acids. The identification of regio- and stereospecific LOXs is important because their specific products are involved in different physiological activities in various organisms. Bacterial LOXs are found only in some proteobacteria and cyanobacteria, and they are not stable in vitro. Here, we used C20 and C22 PUFAs such as arachidonic acid (ARA), eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid to identify an 11S-specific LOX from the proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus and explore its in vitro stability and activity. The activity and stability of M. xanthus ARA 11S-LOX as well as the production of 11S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid from ARA were significantly increased by the addition of phosphatidylcholine, Ca2+, and coactosin-like protein (newly identified in the yeast Rhodosporidium toluroides) as stimulatory factors; in fact, LOX activity in the presence of all three factors increased approximately 3-fold. Our results indicate that these stimulatory factors can be used to increase the activity and stability of bacterial LOX and the production of bioactive hydroxy fatty acids, which can contribute to new academic research.

Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes metabolize arachidonic acid (AA) to several biologically active epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). Repurposing clinically-approved drugs could provide safe and readily available means

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.

Lipoxygenases (LOX) play critical roles in mammalian biology in the generation of potent lipid mediators of the inflammatory response; consequently, they are targets for the development of isoform-specific inhibitors. The regio- and stereo-specificity of the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids by the enzymes is understood in terms of the chemistry, but structural observation of the enzyme-substrate interactions is lacking. Although several LOX crystal structures are available, heretofore the rapid oxygenation of bound substrate has precluded capture of the enzyme-substrate complex, leaving a gap between chemical and structural insights. In this report, we describe the 2.0 ? resolution structure of 8R-LOX in complex with arachidonic acid obtained under anaerobic conditions. Subtle rearrangements, primarily in the side chains of three amino acids, allow binding of arachidonic acid in a catalytically competent conformation. Accompanying experimental work supports a model in which both substrate tethering and cavity depth contribute to positioning the appropriate carbon at the catalytic machinery.
The hydroperoxide moiety of aliphatic lipid hydroperoxides is not affected by hypochlorous acid

The oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to the corresponding hydroperoxide by plant and animal lipoxygenases is an important step for the generation of bioactive lipid mediators. Thereby fatty acid hydroperoxide represent a common intermediate, also in human innate immune cells, like neutrophil granulocytes. In these cells a further key component is the heme protein myeloperoxidase producing HOCl as a reactive oxidant. On the basis of different investigation a reaction of the fatty acid hydroperoxide and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) could be assumed. Here, chromatographic and spectrometric analysis revealed that the hydroperoxide moiety of 15S-hydroperoxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HpETE) and 13S-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoic acid (13-HpODE) is not affected by HOCl. No reduction of the hydroperoxide group due to a reaction with HOCl could be measured. It could be demonstrated that the double bonds of the fatty acid hydroperoxides are the major target of HOCl, present either as reagent or formed by the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-chloride system.

Resolvins and protectins are important anti-infl ammatory and pro-resolution compounds derived from the enzymatic oxidation of omega-3 fatty acids all -cis -5,8,11,14,17- eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and all -cis -4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). We have developed a simple, controlled method to synthesize an array of resolvin and protectin analogs from fatty acid starting materials using soybean 15-lipoxygenase. The conditions were optimized for the production of both mono- and dihydroxy derivatives, with enzyme concentration and pH found to have a signifi cant effect on the reaction products. The methods were applied to fi ve biologically important omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid substrates. Mono- and dihydroxy compounds were successfully synthesized from all substrates and the products were characterized by normal phase (NP) HPLC , GC-MS, TOF-MS, UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. The methods could be further applied to any polyunsaturated fatty acids containing the cis -1,4,7,10-undecatetraene moiety to produce a range of novel compounds with potential biological activity.

A robust synthesis of (5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)(15S)-15-hydroxyeicosa-5,8,11,13- tetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE) sodium salt was established, utilising a biooxidation process. Treatment of arachidonic acid with soybean lipoxidase in 0.1 M sodium tetraborate buffer under oxygen pressure resulted in formation of the hydroperoxide, 15(S)-HPETE. Addition of sodium borohydride to the reaction mixture reduced the hydroperoxide to 15(S)-HETE, which was then purified by column chromatography. 15(S)-HETE sodium salt was prepared by treatment of an ethanol solution of HETE with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate. Multiple 10-g batches of 15(S)-HETE sodium salt with >98% enantiomeric excess and >98% chemical purity were prepared to support clinical trials.

Biosynthesis of the prostaglandin endoperoxide by the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes is accompanied by formation of a small amount of 11 R- hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), 15 R-HETE, and 15 S-HETE as by-products. Acetylation of COX-2 by aspirin abrogates prostaglandin synthesis and triggers formation of 15 R-HETE as the sole product of oxygenation of arachidonic acid. Here, we investigated the formation of by-products of the transformation of 5 S-HETE by native COX-2 and by aspirin-acetylated COX-2 using HPLC-ultraviolet, GC-MS, and LC-MS analysis. 5 S,15 S-dihydroxy (di)HETE, 5 S,15 R-diHETE, and 5 S,11 R-diHETE were identified as by-products of native COX-2, in addition to the previously described di-endoperoxide (5 S,15 S-dihydroxy-9 S,11 R,8 S,12 S-diperoxy-6 E,13 E-eicosadienoic acid) as the major oxygenation product. 5 S,15 R-diHETE was the only product formed by aspirinacetylated COX-2. Both 5,15-diHETE and 5,11-diHETE were detected in CT26 mouse colon carcinoma cells as well as in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW264.7 cells incubated with 5 S-HETE, and their formation was attenuated in the presence of the COX-2 specific inhibitor, NS-398. Aspirintreated CT26 cells gave 5,15-diHETE as the most prominent product formed from 5 S-HETE. 5 S,15 S-diHETE has been described as a product of the cross-over of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and 15-LOX activities in elicited rat mononuclear cells and human leukocytes, and our studies implicate crossover of the 5-LOX and COX-2 pathways as an additional biosynthetic route.
