Structure conservation in lipoxygenases: structural analysis of soybean lipoxygenase-1 and modeling of human lipoxygenases.
Lipoxygenases are a class of non-heme iron dioxygenases which catalyze the hydroperoxidation of fatty acids for the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and lipoxins. The structure of the 839-residue soybean lipoxygenase-1 was used as a template to model human 5-, 12-, and 15-lipoxygenases. A distance-based algorithm for placing side chains in a low homology environment (only the four iron ligands were...
متن کاملSoybean leaves contain multiple lipoxygenases.
Chromatofocusing of soybean (Glycine max L.) leaf lipoxygenases revealed three distinct peaks of activity. Based on their isoelectric points (pls), pH optima, and mutant analysis it appears that the leaf isozymes are different from those described from mature soybean seed. At least one leaf lipoxygenase appears to differ from those found in hypocotyls. The pls of the main bands of the three lea...
متن کاملDetection and subcellular localization of two 15S-lipoxygenases in human cornea.
PURPOSE There are two human 15-lipoxygenases (LOX), 15-LOX-1 and -2, which convert arachidonic acid to 15S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15S-HETE). The presence of both 15-LOXs in the human cornea prompted this study to delineate their roles in the human corneal epithelium. METHODS Human corneal epithelia from donor corneas and a human corneal epithelial (HCE) cell line were used in [1-(14)C]...
متن کاملAnxiolytic-like Effect of Testosterone in Male Rats: GABAC Receptors Are Not Involved
Objective(s) The effect of testosterone on anxiety-like behaviors has been the subject of some studies. There is evidence that testosterone modulates anxiety via GABA (gama aminobutyric acid) and GABAergic system. The involvement of GABAC receptors in those effects of testosterone on anxiety-like behaviors of the rats was investigated in the present study. Materials and Methods A group of ra...
متن کاملHsp70 sequences indicate that choanoflagellates are closely related to animals
Over 130 years ago, James-Clark noted a remarkable structural similarity between the feeding cells of sponges (choanocytes) and a group of free-living protists, the choanoflagellates. Both cell types possess a single flagellum surrounded by a collar of fine tentacles. The similarity led to the hypothesis that sponges, and, by implication, other animals, evolved from choanoflagellate-like ancest...
