摘要

In rabbit reticulocytes an arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) is expressed at high yield. Rescreening a rabbit reticulocyte cDNA library for alternative 15-LOX transcripts, a full length cDNA which encodes a novel lipoxygenase was isolated. The predicted amino acid sequence of this enzyme shared a high degree (99%) of identity with the reticulocyte-type 15-lipoxygenase. Among the six amino acid residues different in both enzymes a Phe-Leu exchange was detected at position 353. Recently, site-directed mutagenesis studies have revealed that this amino acid exchange converts a 15-lipoxygenase to a 12-lipoxygenase. Ln fact, when the novel enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli, mainly 12-lipoxygenation of arachidonic acid was observed. The recombinant enzyme exhibited a rather broad substrate specificity. Various C-18 and C-20 polyenoic fatty acids and even complex substrates such as biomembranes were effectively oxygenated. Thus, the novel enzyme may be classified as leukocyte-type 12-lipoxygenase. Genomic polymerase chain reaction of the 3' region of the leukocyte-type 12-lipoxygenase gene indicated that introns 10 to 13 differed to about 10% from the corresponding sequences of the 15-lipoxygenase gene although their size and the intron-exon organization were very similar. Ln the 3'-untranslated region of the novel mRNA a C + U-rich, 20-fold repetitive element was found which appears to be highly related to the differentiation control element of the 15-lipoxygenase mRNA. Activity assays with a variety of cells and tissues prepared from normal rabbits suggested that only peripheral monocytes abundantly express the enzyme, suggesting a tissue-specific regulation of gene expression. These data indicate for the first time the co-expression of two separate genes for a reticulocyte-type 15-lipoxygenase and for a leukocyte-type 12-lipoxygenase in one species. This is of importance for the implication of both enzymes in red blood cell development and atherogenesis. (C) 1998 Academic Press Limited. [References: 52]
