CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A MIXTURE OF ARACHIDONIC ACID AND PROSTAGLANDIN BOUND TO THE CYCLOOXYGENASE ACTIVE SITE OF COX-2: PROSTAGLANDIN STRUCTURE
Overview
Cyclooxygenases are bifunctional enzymes that catalyse the first committed, step in the synthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes and other, eicosanoids. The two known cyclooxygenases isoforms share a high degree of, amino-acid sequence similarity, structural topology and an identical, catalytic mechanism. Cyclooxygenase enzymes catalyse two sequential, reactions in spatially distinct, but mechanistically coupled active sites., The initial cyclooxygenase reaction converts arachidonic acid (which is, achiral) to prostaglandin G2 (which has five chiral centres). The, subsequent peroxidase reaction reduces prostaglandin G2 to prostaglandin, H2. Here we report the co-crystal structures of murine, apo-cyclooxygenase-2 in complex with arachidonic acid and prostaglandin., These structures suggest the molecular basis for the stereospecificity of, prostaglandin G2 synthesis.
