Abstract
Eicosanoids and related compounds are pleiotropic lipid mediators, which are biosynthesized in mammals via three distinct metabolic pathways (cyclooxygenase pathway, lipoxygenase pathway, epoxygenase pathway). These mediators have been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and drugs interfering with eicosanoid signaling are currently available as antiphlogistics. Eicosanoid biosynthesis has well been explored in mammals including men, but much less detailed information is currently available on eicosanoid biosynthesis in other vertebrates including bony fish. There are a few reports in the literature describing the expression of arachidonic acid lipoxygenases (ALOX isoforms) in several bony fish species but except for two zebrafish ALOX-isoforms (zfALOX1 and zfALOX2) bony fish eicosanoid biosynthesizing enzymes have not been characterized. To fill this gap and to explore the possible roles of ALOX15 orthologs in bony fish inflammation we cloned and expressed putative ALOX15 orthologs from three different bony fish species (N. furzeri, P. nyererei, S. formosus) as recombinant N-terminal his-tag fusion proteins and characterized the corresponding enzymes with respect to their catalytic properties (temperature-dependence, activation energy, pH-dependence, substrate affinity and substrate specificity with different polyenoic fatty acids). Furthermore, we identified the chemical structure of the dominant oxygenation products formed by the recombinant enzymes from different free fatty acids and from more complex lipid substrates. Taken together, our data indicate that functional ALOX isoforms occur in bony fish but that their catalytic properties are different from those of mammalian enzymes. The possible roles of these ALOX-isoforms in bony fish inflammation are discussed.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) form a heterogeneous class of lipid peroxidizing enzymes, which have been implicated not only in cell proliferation and differentiation but also in the pathogenesis of various diseases with major public health relevance. As other fatty acid dioxygenases LOXs oxidize polyunsaturated fatty acids to their corresponding hydroperoxy derivatives, which are further transformed to bioactive lipid mediators (eicosanoids and related substances). On the other hand, lipoxygenases are key players in the regulation of the cellular redox homeostasis, which is an important element in gene expression regulation. Although the first mammalian lipoxygenases were discovered 40 years ago and although the enzymes have been well characterized with respect to their structural and functional properties the biological roles of the different lipoxygenase isoforms are not completely understood. This review is aimed at summarizing the current knowledge on the physiological roles of different mammalian LOX-isoforms and their patho-physiological function in inflammatory, metabolic, hyperproliferative, neurodegenerative and infectious disorders. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Oxygenated metabolism of PUFA: analysis and biological relevance".

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are lipid peroxidizing enzymes, implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and hyperproliferative diseases, which represent potential targets for pharmacological intervention. Although soybean LOX1 was discovered more than 60years ago, the structural biology of these enzymes was not studied until the mid 1990s. In 1993 the first crystal structure for a plant LOX was solved and following this protein biochemistry and molecular enzymology became major fields in LOX research. This review focuses on recent developments in molecular enzymology of LOXs and summarizes our current understanding of the structural basis of LOX catalysis. Various hypotheses explaining the reaction specificity of different isoforms are critically reviewed and their pros and cons briefly discussed. Moreover, we summarize the current knowledge of LOX evolution by profiling the existence of LOX-related genomic sequences in the three kingdoms of life. Such sequences are found in eukaryotes and bacteria but not in archaea. Although the biological role of LOXs in lower organisms is far from clear, sequence data suggests that this enzyme family might have evolved shortly after the appearance of atmospheric oxygen on earth.

Abstract
Allosteric regulation of human lipoxygenase (hLO) activity has recently been implicated in the cellular biology of prostate cancer. In the current work, we present isotope effect, pH, and substrate inhibitor data of epithelial 15-hLO-2, which probe the allosteric effects on its mechanistic behavior. The Dk(cat)/KM for 15-hLO-2, with AA and LA as substrate, is large indicating hydrogen atom abstraction is the principle rate-determining step, involving a tunneling mechanism for both substrates. For AA, there are multiple rate determining steps (RDS) at both high and low temperatures, with both diffusion and hydrogen bonding rearrangements contributing at high temperature, but only hydrogen bonding rearrangements contributing at low temperature. The observed kinetic dependency on the hydrogen bonding rearrangement is eliminated upon addition of the allosteric effector, 13-(S)-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE), and no allosteric effects were seen on diffusion or hydrogen atom abstraction. The (k(cat)/KM)AA/(k(cat)/KM)LA ratio was observed to have a pH dependence, which was fit with a titration curve (pKa = 7.7), suggesting the protonation of a histidine residue, which could hydrogen bond with the carboxylate of 13-HODE. Assuming this interaction, 13-HODE was docked to the solvent exposed histidines of a 15-hLO-2 homology model and found to bind well with H627, suggesting a potential location for the allosteric site. Utilizing d31-LA as an inhibitor, it was demonstrated that the binding of d31-LA to the allosteric site changes the conformation of 15-hLO-2 such that the affinity for substrate increases. This result suggests that allosteric binding locks the enzyme into a catalytically competent state, which facilitates binding of LA and decreases the (k(cat)/KM)AA/(k(cat)/KM)LA ratio. Finally, the magnitude of the 13-HODE KD for 15-hLO-2 is over 200-fold lower than that of 13-HODE for 15-hLO-1, changing the substrate specificity of 15-hLO-2 to 1.9. This would alter the LO product distribution and increase the production of the pro-tumorigenic, 13-HODE, possibly representing a pro-tumorigenic feedback loop for 13-HODE and 15-hLO-2.

Abstract
Human reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase (15-hLO-1) and epithelial 15-lipoxygenase (15-hLO-2) have been implicated in a number of human diseases, with differences in their substrate specificity potentially playing a central role. In this paper, we present a novel method for accurately measuring the substrate specificity of the two 15-hLO isozymes and demonstrate that both cholate and specific LO products affect substrate specificity. The linoleic acid (LA) product, 13-hydroperoxyoctadienoic acid (13-HPODE), changes the ( k cat/ K m) (AA)/( k cat/ K m) (LA) ratio more than 5-fold for 15-hLO-1 and 3-fold for 15-hLO-2, while the arachidonic acid (AA) product, 12-( S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HPETE), affects only the ratio of 15-hLO-1 (more than 5-fold). In addition, the reduced products, 13-( S)-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE) and 12-( S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), also affect substrate specificity, indicating that iron oxidation is not responsible for the change in the ( k cat/ K m) (AA)/( k cat/ K m) (LA) ratio. These results, coupled with the dependence of the 15-hLO-1 k cat/ K m kinetic isotope effect ( (D) k cat/ K m) on the presence of 12-HPETE and 12-HETE, indicate that the allosteric site, previously identified in 15-hLO-1 [Mogul, R., Johansen, E., and Holman, T. R. (1999) Biochemistry 39, 4801-4807], is responsible for the change in substrate specificity. The ability of LO products to regulate substrate specificity may be relevant with respect to cancer progression and warrants further investigation into the role of this product-feedback loop in the cell.

Abstract
Elevation of the intracellular cAMP concentration in agonist-activated human neutrophils (PMN) leads to the concomitant inhibitions of arachidonic acid (AA) release, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) translocation, and leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis. We report herein that exogenous AA completely prevents cAMP-dependent inhibition of 5-LO translocation and LT biosynthesis in agonist-activated PMN. Moreover, the group IVA phospholipase A2 inhibitor pyrrophenone and the MEK inhibitor U-0126 inhibited AA release and 5-LO translocation in activated PMN, and these effects were also prevented by exogenous AA, demonstrating a functional link between AA release and 5-LO translocation. Polyunsaturated fatty acids of the C18 and C20 series containing at least three double bonds located from carbon 9 (or closer to the carboxyl group) were equally effective as AA in restoring 5-LO translocation in pyrrophenone-treated agonist-activated PMN. Importantly, experiments with the 5-LO-activating protein inhibitor MK-0591 and the intracellular Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM demonstrated that the AA-regulated 5-LO translocation is FLAP- and Ca2+-dependent. Finally, the redox and competitive 5-LO inhibitors L-685,015, L-739,010, and L-702,539 (but not cyclooxygenase inhibitors) efficiently substituted for AA to reverse the pyrrophenone inhibition of 5-LO translocation, indicating that the site of regulation of 5-LO translocation by AA is at or in the vicinity of the catalytic site. This report demonstrates that AA regulates the translocation of 5-LO in human PMN and unravels a novel mechanism of the cAMP-mediated inhibition of LT biosynthesis.

Abstract
Dual COX/5-LOX (cyclooxygenase/5-lipoxygenase) inhibitors constitute a valuable alternative to classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective COX-2 inhibitors for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Indeed, these latter present diverse side effects, which are reduced or absent in dual-acting agents. In this review, COX and 5-LOX pathways are first described in order to highlight the therapeutic interest of designing such compounds. Various structural families of dual inhibitors are illustrated.
