摘要

Lipoxygenases (LOX) play pivotal roles in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and other biologicallynactive eicosanoids derived from arachidonic acid. A mechanistic understanding of substrate recognition,nwhen lipoxygenases that recognize the same substrate generate different products, can be used to help guidenthe design of enzyme-specific inhibitors. We report here the 1.85A ° resolution structure of an 8R-lipoxygenasenfrom Plexaura homomalla, an enzyme with a sequence ∼40% identical to that of human 5-LOX. The structurenreveals a U-shaped channel, defined by invariant amino acids, that would allow substrate access to thencatalytic iron. We demonstrate that mutations within the channel significantly impact enzyme activity andnpropose a novel model for substrate binding potentially applicable to other members of this enzyme family.
