Crystal Structure of a Phospholipid-Lipoxygenase Complex from Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 2.0 A (C2221)
Structural highlights
FunctionLOX_PSEAI In presence of oxygen, converts oleic acid into (S)-(E)-10-hydroperoxy-8-octadecenoic acid (HPOD), which spontaneously decomposes to the corresponding (E)-10-hydroxy-8-octadecenoic acid (HOD). In vivo, the reaction leads to the dihydroxy derivative (E)-7,10-dihydroxy-8-octadecenoic acid (DHOD), so that the three hydroxy-fatty acids can be isolated from the culture medium. Also active on linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Almost not active on arachidonic acid. Publication Abstract from PubMedLipoxygenases (LOXs), which are essential in eukaryotes, have no confirmed function in prokaryotes that are devoid of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The structure of a secretable LOX from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa_LOX), the first available from a prokaryote, presents significant differences with respect to eukaryotic LOXs, including a cluster of helices acting as a lid to the active center. The mobility of the lid and the structural variability of the N-terminal region of Pa_LOX was confirmed by comparing 2 crystal forms. The binding pocket contains a phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipid with branches of 18 (sn-1) and 14/16 (sn-2) carbon atoms in length. Carbon atoms from the sn-1 chain approach the catalytic iron in a manner that sheds light on how the enzymatic reaction might proceed. The findings in these studies suggest that Pa_LOX has the capacity to extract and modify unsaturated phospholipids from eukaryotic membranes, allowing this LOX to play a role in the interaction of P. aeruginosa with host cells.-Garreta, A., Val-Moraes, S.
