Abstract
A series of mononuclear manganese(III)-hydroxo and -aqua complexes, [MnIII(TBDAP)(OH)2]+ (1), [MnIII(TBDAP)(OH)(OH2)]2+ (2) and [MnIII(TBDAP)(OH2)2]3+ (3), were prepared from a manganese(II) precursor and confirmed using various methods including X-ray crystallography. Thermodynamic analysis showed that protonation from hydroxo to aqua species resulted in increased redox potentials (E1/2) in the order of 1 (-0.15 V) < 2 (0.56 V) < 3 (1.11 V), while pKa values exhibited a reverse trend in the order of 3 (3.87) < 2 (11.84). Employing the Bordwell Equation, the O-H bond dissociation free energies (BDFE) of [MnII(TBDAP)(OH)(OH2)]+ and [MnII(TBDAP)(OH2)2]2+, related to the driving force of 1 and 2 in hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), were determined as 75.3 and 77.3 kcal mol-1, respectively. It was found that the thermodynamic driving force of 2 in HAT becomes greater than that of 1 as the redox potential of 2 increases through protonation from 1 to 2. Kinetic studies on electrophilic reactions using a variety of substrates revealed that 1 is only weakly reactive with O-H bonds, whereas 2 can activate aliphatic C-H bonds in addition to O-H bonds. The reaction rates increased by 1.4 × 104-fold for the O-H bonds by 2 over 1, which was explained by the difference in BDFE and the tunneling effect. Furthermore, 3, possessing the highest redox potential value, was found to undergo an aromatic C-H bond activation reaction under mild conditions. These results provide valuable insights into enhancing electrophilic reactivity by modulating the redox potential of manganese(III)-hydroxo and -aqua complexes through protonation.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) from pathogenic fungi are potential therapeutic targets for defense against plant and select human diseases. In contrast to the canonical LOXs in plants and animals, fungal LOXs are unique in having appended N-linked glycans. Such important post-translational modifications (PTMs) endow proteins with altered structure, stability, and/or function. In this study, we present the structural and functional outcomes of removing or altering these surface carbohydrates on the LOX from the devastating rice blast fungus, M. oryzae, MoLOX. Alteration of the PTMs did notinfluence the active site enzyme-substrate ground state structures as visualized by electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy. However, removal of the eight N-linked glycans by asparagine-to-glutamine mutagenesis nonetheless led to a change in substrate selectivity and an elevated activation energy for the reaction with substrate linoleic acid, as determined by kinetic measurements. Comparative hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) analysis of wild-type and Asn-to-Gln MoLOX variants revealed a regionally defined impact on the dynamics of the arched helix that covers the active site. Guided by these HDX results, a single glycan sequon knockout was generated at position 72, and its comparative substrate selectivity from kinetics nearly matched that of the Asn-to-Gln variant. The cumulative data from model glyco-enzyme MoLOX showcase how the presence, alteration, or removal of even a single N-linked glycan can influence the structural integrity and dynamics of the protein that are linked to an enzyme's catalytic proficiency, while indicating that extensive glycosylation protects the enzyme during pathogenesis by protecting it from protease degradation.

Abstract
Rice blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, poses a severe threat to rice production, particularly in Asia where rice is a staple food. Concerns over fungicide resistance and environmental impact have sparked interest in exploring natural fungicides as potential alternatives. This study aimed to identify highly potent natural fungicides against M. oryzae to combat rice blast disease, using advanced molecular dynamics techniques. Four key proteins (CATALASE PEROXIDASES 2, HYBRID PKS-NRPS SYNTHETASE TAS1, MANGANESE LIPOXYGENASE, and PRE-MRNA-SPLICING FACTOR CEF1) involved in M. oryzae's infection process were identified. A list of 30 plant metabolites with documented antifungal properties was compiled for evaluation as potential fungicides. Molecular docking studies revealed that 2-Coumaroylquinic acid, Myricetin, Rosmarinic Acid, and Quercetin exhibited superior binding affinities compared to reference fungicides (Azoxystrobin and Tricyclazole). High throughput molecular dynamics simulations were performed, analyzing parameters like RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, hydrogen bonds, contact analysis, Gibbs free energy, and cluster analysis. The results revealed stable interactions between the selected metabolites and the target proteins, involving important hydrogen bonds and contacts. The SwissADME server analysis indicated that the metabolites possess fungicide properties, making them effective and safe fungicides with low toxicity to the environment and living beings. Additionally, bioactivity assays confirmed their biological activity as nuclear receptor ligands and enzyme inhibitors. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into potential natural fungicides for combating rice blast disease, with 2-Coumaroylquinic acid, Myricetin, Rosmarinic Acid, and Quercetin standing out as promising and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional fungicides. These findings have significant implications for developing crop protection strategies and enhancing global food security, particularly in rice-dependent regions.

Abstract
The X-ray crystal structures of soybean lipoxygenase (LOX) and rabbit 15-LOX were reported in the 1990s. Subsequent 3D structures demonstrated a conserved U-like shape of the substrate cavities as reviewed here. The 8-LOX:arachidonic acid (AA) complex showed AA bound to the substrate cavity carboxylate-out with C10 at 3.4 Å from the iron metal center. A recent cryo-electron microscopy (EM) analysis of the 12-LOX:AA complex illustrated AA in the same position as in the 8-LOX:AA complex. The 15- and 12-LOX complexes with isoenzyme-specific inhibitors/substrate mimics confirmed the U-fold. 5-LOX oxidizes AA to leukotriene A4, the first step in biosynthesis of mediators of asthma. The X-ray structure showed that the entrance to the substrate cavity was closed to AA by Phe and Tyr residues of a partly unfolded α2-helix. Recent X-ray analysis revealed that soaking with inhibitors shifted the short α2-helix to a long and continuous, which opened the substrate cavity. The α2-helix also adopted two conformations in 15-LOX. 12-LOX dimers consisted of one closed and one open subunit with an elongated α2-helix. 13C-ENDOR-MD computations of the 9-MnLOX:linoleate complex showed carboxylate-out position with C11 placed 3.4 ± 0.1 Å from the catalytic water. 3D structures have provided a solid ground for future research.

Abstract
Peroxomanganese species have been proposed as key intermediates in the catalytic cycles of both manganese enzymes and synthetic catalysts. However, many of these intermediates have yet to be observed. Here, we report the formation of a series of intermediates, each generated from the reaction of the mononuclear MnIII-hydroxo complex [MnIII(OH)(dpaq2Me)]+ with hydrogen peroxide under slightly different conditions. By changing the acidity of the reaction mixture and/or the quantity of hydrogen peroxide added, we are able to control which intermediate forms. Using a combination of electronic absorption, 1H NMR, EPR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, as well as density functional theory (DFT) and complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations, we formulate these intermediates as the bis(μ-oxo)dimanganese(III,IV) complex [MnIIIMnIV(μ-O)2(dpaq2Me)2]+, the MnIII-hydroperoxo complex [MnIII(OOH)(dpaq2Me)]+, and the MnIII-peroxo complex [MnIII(O2)(dpaq2Me)]. The formation of the MnIII-hydroperoxo species from the reaction of a MnIII-hydroxo complex with hydrogen peroxide mimics an elementary reaction proposed for many synthetic manganese catalysts that activate hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
Hydrogen tunneling in enzyme reactions has played an important role in linking protein thermal motions to the chemical steps of catalysis. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) have served as model systems for such reactions, showcasing deep hydrogen tunneling mechanisms associated with enzymatic C-H bond cleavage from polyunsaturated fatty acids. Here, we examined the effect of solvent viscosity on the protein thermal motions associated with LOX catalysis using trehalose and glucose as viscogens. Kinetic analysis of the reaction of the paradigm plant orthologue, soybean lipoxygenase (SLO), with linoleic acid revealed no effect on the first-order rate constants, kcat, or activation energy, Ea. Further studies of SLO active site mutants displaying varying Eas, which have been used to probe catalytically relevant motions, likewise provided no evidence for viscogen-dependent motions. Kinetic analyses were extended to a representative fungal LOX from M. oryzae, MoLOX, and a human LOX, 15-LOX-2. While MoLOX behaved similarly to SLO, we show that viscogens inhibit 15-LOX-2 activity. The latter implicates viscogen sensitive, conformational motions in animal LOX reactions. The data provide insight into the role of water hydration layers in facilitating hydrogen (quantum) tunneling in LOX.

Abstract
Lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes produce important cell-signaling mediators, yet attempts to capture and characterize LOX-substrate complexes by X-ray co-crystallography are commonly unsuccessful, requiring development of alternative structural methods. We previously reported the structure of the complex of soybean lipoxygenase, SLO, with substrate linoleic acid (LA), as visualized through the integration of 13C/1H electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) computations. However, this required substitution of the catalytic mononuclear, nonheme iron by the structurally faithful, yet inactive Mn2+ ion as a spin probe. Unlike canonical Fe-LOXs from plants and animals, LOXs from pathogenic fungi contain active mononuclear Mn2+ metallocenters. Here, we report the ground-state active-site structure of the native, fully glycosylated fungal LOX from rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, MoLOX complexed with LA, as obtained through the 13C/1H ENDOR-guided MD approach. The catalytically important distance between the hydrogen donor, carbon-11 (C11), and the acceptor, Mn-bound oxygen, (donor-acceptor distance, DAD) for the MoLOX-LA complex derived in this fashion is 3.4 ± 0.1 Å. The difference of the MoLOX-LA DAD from that of the SLO-LA complex, 3.1 ± 0.1 Å, is functionally important, although is only 0.3 Å, despite the MoLOX complex having a Mn-C11 distance of 5.4 Å and a "carboxylate-out" substrate-binding orientation, whereas the SLO complex has a 4.9 Å Mn-C11 distance and a "carboxylate-in" substrate orientation. The results provide structural insights into reactivity differences across the LOX family, give a foundation for guiding development of MoLOX inhibitors, and highlight the robustness of the ENDOR-guided MD approach to describe LOX-substrate structures.

Abstract
Analyses of fungal genomes of escalate from biological and evolutionary investigations. The biochemical analyses of putative enzymes will inevitably lag behind and only a selection will be characterized. Plant-pathogenic fungi secrete manganese-lipoxygenases (MnLOX), which oxidize unsaturated fatty acids to hydroperoxides to support infection. Six MnLOX have been characterized so far including the 3D structures of these enzymes of the Rice blast and the Take-all fungi. The goal was to use this information to evaluate MnLOX-related gene transcripts to find informative specimens for further studies. Phylogenetic analysis, determinants of catalytic activities, and the C-terminal amino acid sequences divided 54 transcripts into three major subfamilies. The six MnLOX belonged to the same "prototype" subfamily with conserved residues in catalytic determinants and C-terminal sequences. The second subfamily retained the secretion mechanism, presumably necessary for uptake of Mn2+, but differed in catalytic determinants and by cysteine replacement of an invariant Leu residue for positioning ("clamping") of fatty acids. The third subfamily contrasted with alanine in the Gly/Ala switch for regiospecific oxidation and a minority contained unprecedented C-terminal sequences or lacked secretion signals. With these exceptions, biochemical analyses of transcripts of the three subfamilies appear to have reasonable prospects to find active enzymes.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs; EC1.13.11.12) are a family of iron- or manganese-containing dioxygenases that catalyze the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress response. In this study, a total of 36 LOX gene family members were identified and annotated in Zhonghuang 13, a soybean cultivar bred by Chinese scientists in 2001. Sanger sequencing of the GmLOX1-coding sequence and colorimetric assays for the GmLOX1 protein showed that Zhonghuang 13 possessed the GmLOX1 gene. These LOX genes are divided into three subfamilies: 9-LOX, type Ⅰ 13-LOX and type II 13-LOX. In the 13-LOX group, the number of GmLOX members was the highest. These GmLOX genes are unevenly distributed on chromosomes 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 19, and 20. Most of the 13-LOX genes exist in the form of gene clusters, indicating that these genes may originate from tandem duplications. The analysis of duplicated gene pairs showed that GmLOX genes underwent purifying selective pressure during evolution. The gene structures and conserved functional domains of these genes are quite similar. Compared to the orthologous gene pairs of LOX genes between wild soybean (Glycine soja W05) and Zhonghuang 13, the sequences of most gene pairs are relatively conserved. Many cis-elements are present in the promoter region and are involved in stress response, growth and development, hormone response and light response. The tissue-specific gene expression of GmLOX genes was evaluated. Represented by GmLOX1, GmLOX2, and GmLOX3, which were expressed at extremely high levels in seeds, they showed the characteristics of specific expression. This study provides detailed information on soybean lipoxygenase gene family members in Zhonghuang 13, which lays a foundation for further research.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of an end-on dinuclear Mn(II) azide complex with two bridging azide ligands that served as a precursor for the formation of an end-on bis(μ-hydroxido) dinuclear Mn(II,III) azide complex upon oxidation by organic peroxide or peracids. Combined experimental and theoretical studies on the reactivity of the end-on bis(μ-hydroxido) dinuclear Mn(II,III) azide complex suggest that the reaction with substrates having weak C-H bond and O-H bond dissociation energy occurred via a H-atom abstraction reaction in a concerted manner.

Abstract
High-valent transition metal-hydroxide complexes have been proposed as essential intermediates in biological and synthetic catalytic reactions. In this work, we report the single-crystal X-ray structure and spectroscopic characteristics of a mononuclear nonporphyrinic MnIV-(OH) complex, [MnIV(Me3-TPADP)(OH)(OCH2CH3)]2+ (2), using various physicochemical methods. Likewise, [MnIV(Me3-TPADP)(OH)(OCH2CF3)]2+ (3), which is thermally stable at room temperature, was also synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. The MnIV-(OH) adducts are capable of performing oxidation reactions with external organic substrates such as C-H bond activation, sulfoxidation, and epoxidation. Kinetic studies, involving the Hammett correlation and kinetic isotope effect, and product analyses indicate that 2 and 3 exhibit electrophilic oxidative reactivity toward hydrocarbons. Density functional theory calculations support the assigned electronic structure and show that direct C-H bond activation of the MnIV-(OH) species is indeed possible.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOX) contain catalytic iron (FeLOX), but fungi also produce LOX with catalytic manganese (MnLOX). In this review, the 3D structures and properties of fungal LOX are compared and contrasted along with their associations with pathogenicity. The 3D structures and properties of two MnLOX (Magnaporthe oryzae, Geaumannomyces graminis) and the catalysis of five additional MnLOX have provided information on the metal center, substrate binding, oxygenation, tentative O2 channels, and biosynthesis of exclusive hydroperoxides. In addition, the genomes of other plant pathogens also code for putative MnLOX. Crystals of the 13S-FeLOX of Fusarium graminearum revealed an unusual altered geometry of the Fe ligands between mono- and dimeric structures, influenced by a wrapping sequence extension near the C-terminal of the dimers. In plants, the enzymes involved in jasmonate synthesis are well documented whereas the fungal pathway is yet to be fully elucidated. Conversion of deuterium-labeled 18:3n-3, 18:2n-6, and their 13S-hydroperoxides to jasmonates established 13S-FeLOX of F. oxysporum in the biosynthesis, while subsequent enzymes lacked sequence homologues in plants. The Rice-blast (M. oryzae) and the Take-all (G. graminis) fungi secrete MnLOX to support infection, invasive hyphal growth, and cell membrane oxidation, contributing to their devastating impact on world production of rice and wheat.

Abstract
Manganese lipoxygenase (MnLOX) is an enzyme that converts polyunsaturated fatty acids to alkyl hydroperoxides. In proposed mechanisms for this enzyme, the transfer of a hydrogen atom from a substrate C-H bond to an active-site MnIII-hydroxo center initiates substrate oxidation. In some proposed mechanisms, the active-site MnIII-hydroxo complex is regenerated by the reaction of a MnIII-alkylperoxo intermediate with water by a ligand substitution reaction. In a recent study, we described a pair of MnIII-hydroxo and MnIII-alkylperoxo complexes supported by the same amide-containing pentadentate ligand (6Medpaq). In this present work, we describe the reaction of the MnIII-hydroxo unit in C-H and O-H bond oxidation processes, thus mimicking one of the elementary reactions of the MnLOX enzyme. An analysis of kinetic data shows that the MnIII-hydroxo complex [MnIII(OH)(6Medpaq)]+ oxidizes TEMPOH (2,2′-6,6′-tetramethylpiperidine-1-ol) faster than the majority of previously reported MnIII-hydroxo complexes. Using a combination of cyclic voltammetry and electronic structure computations, we demonstrate that the weak MnIII-N(pyridine) bonds lead to a higher MnIII/II reduction potential, increasing the driving force for substrate oxidation reactions and accounting for the faster reaction rate. In addition, we demonstrate that the MnIII-alkylperoxo complex [MnIII(OOtBu)(6Medpaq)]+ reacts with water to obtain the corresponding MnIII-hydroxo species, thus mimicking the ligand substitution step proposed for MnLOX.

Biochemical Characterization of 13-Lipoxygenases of Arabidopsis thaliana. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910237.

Abstract
13-lipoxygenases (13-LOX) catalyze the dioxygenation of various polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), of which α-linolenic acid (LeA) is converted to 13-S-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9, 11, 15-trienoic acid (13-HPOT), the precursor for the prostaglandin-like plant hormones cis-(+)-12-oxophytodienoic acid (12-OPDA) and methyl jasmonate (MJ). This study aimed for characterizing the four annotated A. thaliana 13-LOX enzymes (LOX2, LOX3, LOX4, and LOX6) focusing on synthesis of 12-OPDA and 4Z,7Z,10Z)-12-[[-(1S,5S)-4-oxo-5-(2Z)-pent-2-en-1yl] cyclopent-2-en-1yl] dodeca-4,7,10-trienoic acid (OCPD). In addition, we performed interaction studies of 13-LOXs with ions and molecules to advance our understanding of 13-LOX. Cell imaging indicated plastid targeting of fluorescent proteins fused to 13-LOXs-N-terminal extensions, supporting the prediction of 13-LOX localization to plastids. The apparent maximal velocity (Vmax app) values for LOX-catalyzed LeA oxidation were highest for LOX4 (128 nmol·s−1·mg protein−1), with a Km value of 5.8 µM. A. thaliana 13-LOXs, in cascade with 12-OPDA pathway enzymes, synthesized 12-OPDA and OCPD from LeA and docosahexaenoic acid, previously shown only for LOX6. The activities of the four isoforms were differently affected by physiologically relevant chemicals, such as Mg2+, Ca2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+, and by 12-OPDA and MJ. As demonstrated for LOX4, 12-OPDA inhibited enzymatic LeA hydroperoxidation, with half-maximal enzyme inhibition at 48 µM. Biochemical interactions, such as the sensitivity of LOX toward thiol-reactive agents belonging to cyclopentenone prostaglandins, are suggested to occur in human LOX homologs. Furthermore, we conclude that 13-LOXs are isoforms with rather specific functional and regulatory enzymatic features.

Abstract
The enzymes manganese lipoxygenase (MnLOX) and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) utilize mononuclear Mn centers to effect their catalytic reactions. In the oxidized MnIII state, the active site of each enzyme contains a hydroxo ligand, and X-ray crystal structures imply a hydrogen bond between this hydroxo ligand and a cis carboxylate ligand. While hydrogen bonding is a common feature of enzyme active sites, the importance of this particular hydroxo-carboxylate interaction is relatively unexplored. In this present study, we examined a pair of MnIII-hydroxo complexes that differ by a single functional group. One of these complexes, [MnIII(OH)(PaPy2N)]+, contains a naphthyridinyl moiety capable of forming an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the hydroxo ligand. The second complex, [MnIII(OH)(PaPy2Q)]+, contains a quinolinyl moiety that does not permit any intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Spectroscopic characterization of these complexes supports a common structure, but with perturbations to [MnIII(OH)(PaPy2N)]+, consistent with a hydrogen bond. Kinetic studies using a variety of substrates with activated O-H bonds, revealed that [MnIII(OH)(PaPy2N)]+ is far more reactive than [MnIII(OH)(PaPy2Q)]+, with rate enhancements of 15-100-fold. A detailed analysis of the thermodynamic contributions to these reactions using DFT computations reveals that the former complex is significantly more basic. This increased basicity counteracts the more negative reduction potential of this complex, leading to a stronger O-H BDFE in the [MnII(OH2)(PaPy2N)]+ product. Thus, the differences in reactivity between [MnIII(OH)(PaPy2Q)]+ and [MnIII(OH)(PaPy2N)]+ can be understood on the basis of thermodynamic considerations, which are strongly influenced by the ability of the latter complex to form an intramolecular hydrogen bond.

Abstract
Oxylipins designate oxygenated unsaturated C18 fatty acids. Many filamentous fungi pathogens contain dioxygenases (DOX) in oxylipin biosynthesis with homology to human cyclooxygenases. They contain a DOX domain, which is often fused to a functional cytochrome P450 at the C-terminal end. A Tyr radical in the DOX domain initiates dioxygenation of linoleic acid by hydrogen abstraction with formation of 8-, 9-, or 10-hydroperoxy metabolites. The P450 domains can catalyze heterolytic cleavage of 8- and 10-hydroperoxides with oxidation of the heme thiolate iron for hydroxylation at C-5, C-7, C-9, or C-11 and for epoxidation of the 12Z double bond; thus displaying linoleate diol synthase (LDS) and epoxy alcohol synthase (EAS) activities. LSD activities are present in the rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, Botrytis cinerea causing grey mold and the black scurf pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. 10R-DOX-EAS has been found in M. oryzae and Fusarium oxysporum. The P450 domains may also catalyze homolytic cleavage of 8- and 9-hydroperoxy fatty acids and dehydration to produce epoxides with an adjacent double bond, i.e., allene oxides, thus displaying 8- and 9-DOX-allene oxide synthases (AOS). F. oxysporum, F. graminearum, and R. solani express 9S-DOX-AOS and Zymoseptoria tritici 8S-and 9R-DOX-AOS. Homologues are present in endemic human-pathogenic fungi with extensive studies in Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus (also a plant pathogen) as well as the genetic model A. nidulans. 8R-and 10R-DOX appear to bind fatty acids "headfirst" in the active site, whereas 9S-DOX binds them "tail first" in analogy with cyclooxygenases. The biological relevance of 8R-DOX-5,8-LDS (also designated PpoA) was first discovered in relation to sporulation of A. nidulans and recently for development and programmed hyphal branching of A. fumigatus. Gene deletion DOX-AOS homologues in F. verticillioides, A. flavus, and A. nidulans alters, inter alia, mycotoxin production, sporulation, and gene expression.

Abstract
Blue mold of apple is caused by several different Penicillium species, among which P. expansum and P. solitum are the most frequently isolated. P. expansum is the most aggressive species, and P. solitum is very weak when infecting apple fruit during storage. In this study, we report complete genomic analyses of three different Penicillium species: P. expansum R21 and P. crustosum NJ1, isolated from stored apple fruit; and P. maximae 113, isolated in 2013 from a flooded home in New Jersey, USA, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Patulin and citrinin gene cluster analyses explained the lack of patulin production in NJ1 compared to R21 and lack of citrinin production in all three strains. A Drosophila bioassay demonstrated that volatiles emitted by P. solitum SA and P. polonicum RS1 were more toxic than those from P. expansum and P. crustosum strains (R27, R11, R21, G10, and R19). The toxicity was hypothesized to be related to production of eight-carbon oxylipins. Putative lipoxygenase genes were identified in P. expansum and P. maximae strains, but not in P. crustosum. Our data will provide a better understanding of Penicillium spp. complex secondary metabolic capabilities, especially concerning the genetic bases of mycotoxins and toxic VOCs.

Abstract
Oxylipins derived mainly from C20- and C22-polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), termed lipid mediators (LMs), are essential signalling messengers involved in human physiological responses associated with homeostasis and healing process for infection and inflammation. Some LMs involved in the resolution of inflammation and infection are termed specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), which are generated by human M2 macrophages or polymorphonuclear leukocytes and have the potential to protect and treat hosts from bacterial and viral infections by phagocytosis activation. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) biosynthesize regio- and stereoselective LMs. Thus, understanding the regio- and stereoselectivities of LOXs for PUFAs at a molecular level is important for the biocatalytic synthesis of diverse LMs. Here, we elucidate the catalytic mechanisms and discuss regio- and stereoselectivities and their changes of LOXs determined by insertion direction and position of the substrate and oxygen at a molecular level for the biosynthesis of diverse human LMs. Recently, the biocatalytic synthesis of PUFAs to human LMs or analogues has been conducted using microbial LOXs. Such microbial LOXs involved in the biosynthesis of LMs are expected to exert significantly higher activity and stability than human LOXs. Diverse regio- and stereoselective LOXs can be obtained from microorganisms, which represent a wealth of genomic sources. We reconstruct the biosynthetic pathways of LOX-catalyzed LMs in humans and other organisms. Furthermore, we suggest the effective methods of biocatalytic synthesis of diverse human LMs from PUFAs or glucose by using microbial LOXs, increasing the stability and activity of LOXs, combining the reactions of LOXs, and constructing metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivatives called jasmonates (JAs) are lipid-derived signalling molecules that are produced by plants and certain fungi. Beside this function, JAs have a great variety of applications in flavours and fragrances production. In addition, they may have a high potential in agriculture. JAs protect plants against infections. Although there is much information on the biosynthesis and function of JA concerning plants, knowledge on these aspects is still scarce for fungi. Taking into account the practical importance of JAs, the objective of this review is to summarize knowledge on the occurrence of JAs from fungal culture media, their biosynthetic pathways and the culture conditions for optimal JA production as an alternative source for the production of these valuable metabolites.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOX) are non-heme iron-containing enzymes that catalyze regio- and stereo-selective dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Mammalian LOXs participate in the eicosanoid cascade during the inflammatory response, using preferentially arachidonic acid (AA) as substrate, for the synthesis of leukotrienes (LT) and other oxidized-lipid intermediaries. This review focus on lipoxygenases (LOX) structural and kinetic implications on both catalysis selectivity, as well as the basic and clinical implications of inhibition and interactions with nitric oxide (•NO) and nitroalkenes pathways. During inflammation •NO levels are increasingly favoring the formation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). •NO may act itself as an inhibitor of LOX-mediated lipid oxidation by reacting with lipid peroxyl radicals. Besides, •NO may act as an O2 competitor in the LOX active site, thus displaying a protective role on lipid-peroxidation. Moreover, RNS such as nitrogen dioxide (•NO2) may react with lipid-derived species formed during LOX reaction, yielding nitroalkenes (NO2FA). NO2FA represents electrophilic compounds that could exert anti-inflammatory actions through the interaction with critical LOX nucleophilic amino acids. We will discuss how nitro-oxidative conditions may limit the availability of common LOX substrates, favoring alternative routes of PUFA metabolization to anti-inflammatory or pro-resolutive pathways.

The enzymes manganese superoxide dismutase and manganese lipoxygenase use MnIII-hydroxo centres to mediate proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions with substrate. As manganese is earth-abundant and inexpensive, manganese catalysts are of interest for synthetic applications. Recent years have seen exciting reports of enantioselective C-H bond oxidation by Mn catalysts supported by aminopyridyl ligands. Such catalysts offer economic and environmentally-friendly alternatives to conventional reagents and catalysts. Mechanistic studies of synthetic catalysts highlight the role of Mn-oxo motifs in attacking substrate C-H bonds, presumably by a concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) step. (CPET is a sub-class of PCET, where the proton and electron are transferred in the same step.) Knowledge of geometric and electronic influences for CPET reactions of Mn-hydroxo and Mn-oxo adducts enhances our understanding of biological and synthetic manganese centers and informs the design of new catalysts. In this Feature article, we describe kinetic, spectroscopic, and computational studies of MnIII-hydroxo and MnIV-oxo complexes that provide insight into the basis for the CPET reactivity of these species. Systematic perturbations of the ligand environment around MnIII-hydroxo and MnIV-oxo motifs permit elucidation of structure-activity relationships. For MnIII-hydroxo centers, electron-deficient ligands enhance oxidative reactivity. However, ligand perturbations have competing consequences, as changes in the MnIII/II potential, which represents the electron-transfer component for CPET, is offset by compensating changes in the pKa of the MnII-aqua product, which represents the proton-transfer component for CPET. For MnIV-oxo systems, a multi-state reactivity model inspired the development of significantly more reactive complexes. Weakened equatorial donation to the MnIV-oxo unit results in large rate enhancements for C-H bond oxidation and oxygen-atom transfer reactions. These results demonstrate that the local coordination environment can be rationally changed to enhance reactivity of MnIII-hydroxo and MnIV-oxo adducts.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) catalyze the (per) oxidation of fatty acids that serve as important mediators for cell signaling and inflammation. These reactions are initiated by a C-H activation step that is allosterically regulated in plant and animal enzymes. LOXs from higher eukaryotes are equipped with an N-terminal PLAT (Polycystin-1, Lipoxygenase, Alpha-Toxin) domain that has been implicated to bind to small molecule allosteric effectors, which in turn modulate substrate specificity and the rate-limiting steps of catalysis. Herein, the kinetic and structural evidence that describes the allosteric regulation of plant and animal lipoxygenase chemistry by fatty acids and their derivatives are summarized.

Abstract
Hydrogen tunneling in enzymatic C-H activation requires a dynamical sampling among ground-state enzyme-substrate (E-S) conformations, which transiently generates a tunneling-ready state (TRS). The TRS is characterized by a hydrogen donor-acceptor distance (DAD) of 2.7 Å, ∼0.5 Å shorter than the dominant DAD of optimized ground states. Recently, a high-resolution, 13C electron-nuclear double-resonance (ENDOR) approach was developed to characterize the ground-state structure of the complex of the linoleic acid (LA) substrate with soybean lipoxygenase (SLO). The resulting enzyme-substrate model revealed two ground-state conformers with different distances between the target C11 of LA and the catalytically active cofactor [Fe(III)-OH]: the active conformer "a", with a van der Waals DAD of 3.1 Å between C11 and metal-bound hydroxide, and an inactive conformer "b", with a distance that is almost 1 Å longer. Herein, the structure of the E-S complex is examined for a series of six variants in which subtle structural modifications of SLO have been introduced either at a hydrophobic side chain near the bound substrate or at a remote residue within a protein network whose flexibility influences hydrogen transfer. A remarkable correlation is found between the ENDOR-derived population of the active ground-state conformer a and the kinetically derived differential enthalpic barrier for D versus H transfer, ΔEa, with the latter increasing as the fraction of conformer a decreases. As proposed, ΔEa provides a "ruler" for the DAD within the TRS. ENDOR measurements further corroborate the previous identification of a dynamical network coupling the buried active site of SLO to the surface. This study shows that subtle imperfections within the initial ground-state structures of E-S complexes are accompanied by compromised geometries at the TRS.

Abstract
The addition of Sc(OTf)3 and Al(OTf)3 to the mononuclear MnIII-hydroxo complex [MnIII(OH)(dpaq)]+ (1) gives rise to new intermediates with spectroscopic properties and chemical reactivity distinct from those of [MnIII(OH)(dpaq)]+. The electronic absorption spectra of [MnIII(OH)(dpaq)]+ in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 (1-ScIII) and Al(OTf)3 (1-AlIII) show modest perturbations in electronic transition energies, consistent with moderate changes in the MnIII geometry. A comparison of 1H NMR data for 1 and 1-ScIII confirm this conclusion, as the 1H NMR spectrum of 1-ScIII shows the same number of hyperfine-shifted peaks as the 1H NMR spectrum of 1. These 1H NMR spectra, and that of 1-AlIII, share a similar chemical-shift pattern, providing firm evidence that these Lewis acids do not cause gross distortions to the structure of 1. Mn K-edge X-ray absorption data for 1-ScIII provide evidence of elongation of the axial Mn-OH and Mn-N(amide) bonds relative to those of 1. In contrast to these modest spectroscopic perturbations, 1-ScIII and 1-AlIII show greatly enhanced reactivity toward hydrocarbons. While 1 is unreactive toward 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA), 1-ScIII and 1-AlIII react rapidly with DHA (k2 = 0.16(1) and 0.25(2) M-1 s-1 at 50 °C, respectively). The 1-ScIII species is capable of attacking the much stronger C-H bond of ethylbenzene. The basis for these perturbations to the spectroscopic properties and reactivity of 1 in the presence of these Lewis acids was elucidated by comparing properties of 1-ScIII and 1-AlIII with the recently reported MnIII-aqua complex [MnIII(OH2)(dpaq)]2+ ( J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2018, 140, 12695-12699). Because 1-ScIII and 1-AlIII show 1H NMR spectra essentially identical to that of [MnIII(OH2)(dpaq)]2+, the primary effect of these Lewis acids on 1 is protonation of the hydroxo ligand caused by an increase in the Brønsted acidity of the solution.

Abstract
Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are mainly C6- and in rare cases also C9-aldehydes, -alcohols, and -esters, which are released by plants in response to biotic or abiotic stresses. These compounds are named for their characteristic smell reminiscent of freshly mowed grass. This review focuses on GLVs and the two major pathway enzymes responsible for their formation: lipoxygenases (LOXs) and fatty acid hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs). LOXs catalyze the peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic and α-linolenic acids. Hydroperoxy fatty acids are further converted by HPLs into aldehydes and oxo-acids. In many industrial applications, plant extracts have been used as LOX and HPL sources. However, these processes are limited by low enzyme concentration, stability, and specificity. Alternatively, recombinant enzymes can be used as biocatalysts for GLV synthesis. The increasing number of well-characterized enzymes efficiently expressed by microbial hosts will foster the development of innovative biocatalytic processes for GLV production.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases from pathogenic fungi belong to the lipoxygenase family of enzymes, which catalyze C-H activation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to form a diverse set of cell-signaling hydroperoxides. While the lipoxygenase catalytic domains are structurally and functionally similar, these fungal enzymes are decorated with N-linked glycans. The impact of N-linked glycans on the structure and function of these enzymes remains largely unknown. One exemplary system is MoLOX, a lipoxygenase from the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, that is emerging as an important target for the devastating rice blast disease. Herein, we demonstrate that hydrogen transfer, associated with C-H cleavage of the substrate linoleic acid by MoLOX, is rate-determining and occurs by a hydrogen tunneling mechanism. Using the differential enthalpic barrier for hydrogen and deuterium transfer, ΔEa, as a kinetic reporter of tunneling efficiency, a disproportionate increase in the activation energy for deuterium transfer is observed upon treatment of MoLOX with a peptide:N-glycosidase that cleaves N-linked carbohydrates from the protein. This increased ΔEa is consistent with an impairment of substrate positioning in the enzyme-substrate complex for both the tunneling ready state and the ground state. These results provide new insight into the functional consequences of N-linked glycosylation on lipoxygenase C-H activation and have important implications for MoLOX inhibitor design.

Abstract
The regio- and stereo-specific oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids is catalyzed by lipoxygenases (LOX); both Fe and Mn forms of the enzyme have been described. Structural elements of the Fe and Mn coordination spheres and the helical catalytic domain in which the metal center resides are highly conserved. However, animal, plant, and microbial LOX each have distinct features. We report five crystal structures of a LOX from the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium graminearum. This LOX displays a novel amino terminal extension that provides a wrapping domain for dimerization. Moreover, this extension appears to interfere with the iron coordination sphere, as the typical LOX configuration is not observed at the catalytic metal when the enzyme is dimeric. Instead novel tetra-, penta-, and hexa-coordinate Fe2+ ligations are apparent. In contrast, a monomeric structure indicates that with repositioning of the amino terminal segment, the enzyme can assume a productive conformation with the canonical Fe2+ coordination sphere.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively hydroxylate 8S- and 10S-positions on polyunsaturated fatty acids by recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing mouse arachidonate 8S-lipoxygenase (8S-LOX). RESULTS Hydroxylated products gained from the conversion of arachidonic acid (20:4Δ5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z, AA), eicosapentanoic acid (20:5Δ5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z, EPA), and (22:6Δ4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z, DHA) by recombinant E. coli cells containing 8S-LOX from mouse were identified as 8S-hydroxy-5,9,11,14(Z,E,Z,Z)-eicosatetranoic acid (8S-HETE), 8S-hydroxy-5,9,11,14,17(Z,E,Z,Z,Z)-eicosapentanoic acid (8S-HEPE), and 10S-hydroxy-4,8,12,14,16,19(Z,E,Z,Z,Z,Z)-docosahexaenoic acid (10S-HDoHE), respectively. Under the optimal hydroxylation conditions of pH 7.5, 30 °C, 5% (v/v) ethanol, 15 g cells l-1, and 5 mM substrate, AA, EPA, and DHA were hydroxylated into 4.37 mM 8S-HETE, 3.77 mM 8S-HEPE, and 3.13 mM 10S-HDoHE for 60, 90, and 60 min, with 87, 75, and 63% molar conversions, respectively. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first quantitatively biotechnological production of 8S-HETE, 8S-HEPE, and 10S-HDoHE.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of [Mn(tacud)2](OTf)2 (1) (tacud = 1,4,8-triazacycloundecane), [Mn(tacd)2](OTf)2 (2) (tacd = 1,4,7-triazacyclodecane), and [Mn(tacn)2](OTf)2 (3) (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane). Electrochemical measurements on the MnIII/II redox couple show that complex 1 has the largest anodic potential of the set (E 1/2 = 1.16 V vs NHE, ΔE p = 106 mV) compared to 2 (E 1/2 = 0.95 V, ΔE p = 108 mV) and 3 (E 1/2 = 0.93 V, ΔE p = 96 mV). This is due to the fact that 1 has the fewest 5-membered chelate rings and thus is least stabilized. Magnetic studies of 1-3 revealed that all complexes remain high spin throughout the temperature range investigated (2 - 300 K). X-band EPR investigations in methanol glass indicated that the manganese(II) centers for 2 and 3 resided in a more distorted octahedral geometric configuration compared to 1. To ease spectral interpretation and extract ZFS parameters, we performed high-frequency high-field EPR (HFEPR) at frequencies above 200 GHz and a field of 7.5 T. Simulation of the spectral data yielded g = 2.0013 and D = -0.031 cm-1 for 1, g = 2.0008, D = -0.0824 cm-1, |E/D| = 0.12 for 2, and g = 2.00028, D = -0.0884 cm-1 for 3. These results are consistent with 3 possessing the most distorted geometry. Calculations (PBE0/6-31G(d)) were performed on 1-3. Results show that 1 has the largest HOMO-LUMO gap energy (6.37 eV) compared to 2 (6.12 eV) and 3 (6.26 eV). Complex 1 also has the lowest HOMO energies indicating higher stability.

Abstract
Mononuclear MnIII-hydroxo and dinuclear (μ-oxo)dimanganese(III,III) complexes were prepared using derivatives of the pentadentate, amide-containing dpaq ligand (dpaq = 2-[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)]amino- N-quinolin-8-yl-acetamidate). Each of these ligand derivatives (referred to as dpaq5R) contained a substituent R (where R = OMe, Cl, and NO2) at the 5-position of the quinolinyl group. Generation of the MnIII complexes was achieved by either O2 oxidation of MnII precursors (for [MnII(dpaq5OMe)]+ and [MnII(dpaq5Cl)]+ or PhIO oxidation (for [MnII(dpaq5NO2)]+). For each oxidized complex, 1H NMR experiments provided evidence of a water-dependent equilibrium between paramagnetic [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5R)]+ and an antiferromagnetically coupled [MnIIIMnIII(μ-O)(dpaq5R)2]2+ species in acetonitrile, with the addition of water favoring the MnIII-hydroxo species. This conversion could also be monitored by electronic absorption spectroscopy. Solid-state X-ray crystal structures for each [MnIIIMnIII(μ-O)(dpaq5R)2](OTf)2 complex revealed a nearly linear Mn-O-Mn core (angle of ca. 177°), with short Mn-O distances near 1.79 Å, and a Mn···Mn separation of 3.58 Å. X-ray crystallographic information was also obtained for the mononuclear [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5Cl)](OTf) complex, which has a short Mn-O(H) distance of 1.810(2) Å. The influence of the 5-substituted quinolinyl moiety on the electronic properties of the [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5R)]+ complexes was demonstrated through shifts in a number of 1H NMR resonances, as well as a steady increase in the MnIII/II cyclic voltammetry peak potential in the order [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5OMe)]+ < [MnIII(OH)(dpaq)]+ < [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5Cl)]+ < [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5NO2)]+. These changes in oxidizing power of the MnIII-hydroxo adducts translated to only modest rate enhancements for TEMPOH oxidation by the [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5R)]+ complexes, with the most reactive [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5NO2)]+ complex showing a second-order rate constant only 9-fold larger than that of the least reactive [MnIII(OH)(dpaq5OMe)]+ complex. These modest rate changes were understood on the basis of density functional theory (DFT)-computed p Ka values for the corresponding [MnII(OH2)(dpaq5R)]+ complexes. Collectively, the experimental and DFT results reveal that the 5-substituted quinolinyl groups have an inverse influence on electron and proton affinity for the MnIII-hydroxo unit.

Gehring T, Heydeck D, Niewienda A, Janek K, Kuhn H. Do lipoxygenases occur in viruses?: Expression and characterization of a viral lipoxygenase-like protein did not provide evidence for the existence of functional viral lipoxygenases. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids 2018; 138:14-23. [PMID: 30392576 DOI: 10.1016/j.plefa.2018.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2018] [Revised: 07/24/2018] [Accepted: 10/03/2018] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Lipoxygenases are lipid peroxidizing enzymes, which frequently occur in higher plants and animals. In bacteria, these enzymes are rare and have been introduced via horizontal gene transfer. Since viruses function as horizontal gene transfer vectors and since lipoxygenases may be helpful for releasing assembled virus particles from host cells we explored whether these enzymes may actually occur in viruses. For this purpose we developed a four-step in silico screening strategy and searching the publically available viral genomes for lipoxygenase-like sequences we detected a single functional gene in the genome of a mimivirus infecting Acantamoeba polyphaga. The primary structure of this protein involved two putative metal ligand clusters but the recombinant enzyme did neither contain iron nor manganese. Most importantly, it did not exhibit lipoxygenase activity. These data suggests that this viral lipoxygenase-like sequence does not encode a functional lipoxygenase and that these enzymes do not occur in viruses.

Oxidative Stress in the Male Germline: A Review of Novel Strategies to Reduce 4-Hydroxynonenal Production. Antioxidants (Basel) 2018; 7:antiox7100132.

Abstract
Germline oxidative stress is intimately linked to several reproductive pathologies including a failure of sperm-egg recognition. The lipid aldehyde 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE) is particularly damaging to the process of sperm-egg recognition as it compromises the function and the stability of several germline proteins. Considering mature spermatozoa do not have the capacity for de novo protein translation, 4HNE modification of proteins in the mature gametes has uniquely severe consequences for protein homeostasis, cell function and cell survival. In somatic cells, 4HNE overproduction has been attributed to the action of lipoxygenase enzymes that facilitate the oxygenation and degradation of ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Accordingly, the arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) enzyme has been intrinsically linked with 4HNE production, and resultant pathophysiology in various complex conditions such as coronary artery disease and multiple sclerosis. While ALOX15 has not been well characterized in germ cells, we postulate that ALOX15 inhibition may pose a new strategy to prevent 4HNE-induced protein modifications in the male germline. In this light, this review focuses on (i) 4HNE-induced protein damage in the male germline and its implications for fertility; and (ii) new methods for the prevention of lipid peroxidation in germ cells.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) catalyze the dioxygenation of PUFAs to produce regio- and stereospecific oxygenated fatty acids. The identification of regio- and stereospecific LOXs is important because their specific products are involved in different physiological activities in various organisms. Bacterial LOXs are found only in some proteobacteria and cyanobacteria, and they are not stable in vitro. Here, we used C20 and C22 PUFAs such as arachidonic acid (ARA), eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid to identify an 11S-specific LOX from the proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus and explore its in vitro stability and activity. The activity and stability of M. xanthus ARA 11S-LOX as well as the production of 11S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid from ARA were significantly increased by the addition of phosphatidylcholine, Ca2+, and coactosin-like protein (newly identified in the yeast Rhodosporidium toluroides) as stimulatory factors; in fact, LOX activity in the presence of all three factors increased approximately 3-fold. Our results indicate that these stimulatory factors can be used to increase the activity and stability of bacterial LOX and the production of bioactive hydroxy fatty acids, which can contribute to new academic research.

Abstract
Oxylipin biosynthesis by fungi is catalyzed by both the lipoxygenase (LOX) family and the linoleate diol synthase (LDS) family of the peroxidase-cyclooxygenase superfamily. Rhizoctonia solani, a pathogenic fungus, infects staple crops such as potato and rice. The genome predicts three genes with 9-13 introns, which code for tentative dioxygenase (DOX)-cytochrome P450 fusion enzymes of the LDS family, and one gene, which might code for a 13-LOX. The objective was to determine whether mycelia or nitrogen powder of mycelia oxidized unsaturated C18 fatty acids to LDS- or LOX-related metabolites. Mycelia converted 18:2n-6 to 8R-hydroxy-9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid and to an α-ketol, 9S-hydroxy-10-oxo-12Z-octadecenoic acid. In addition to these metabolites, nitrogen powder of mycelia oxidized 18:2n-6 to 9S-hydroperoxy-10E, 12Z-octadecadienoic, and 13S-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoic acids; the latter was likely formed by the predicted 13-LOX. 18:1n-9 was transformed into 8S-hydroperoxy-9Z-octadecenoic and into 8S,9S-dihydroxy-10E-octadecenoic acids, indicating the expression of 8,9-diol synthase. The allene oxide, 9S(10)epoxy-10,12Z-octadecadienoic acid, is unstable and decomposes rapidly to the α-ketol above, indicating biosynthesis by 9S-DOX-allene oxide synthase. This allene oxide and α-ketol are also formed by potato stolons, which illustrates catalytic similarities between the plant host and fungal pathogen.

Abstract
Lectins known to possess an additional enzymatic function are called leczymes. Previous studies reported a unique polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in DLL-II-a leczyme from Dolichos lablab. DLL-II shares a high sequence and structural homology with DBL-another leczyme from Dolichos biflorus. Incidentally, DBL possesses lipoxygenase activity, but not the PPO activity. Legume lectins usually possess two metal-binding sites A and B. Although these sites are conserved in both DBL and DLL-II, site A in DLL-II is occupied by Mn2+ and site B by Ca2+ . In contrast, DLL-II binds Cu2+ and Ca2+ at sites A and B, respectively. Here, investigating the structural basis of PPO activity in DLL-II, we find that the PPO activity is only dependent on Cu2+ , but not Ca2+ ; and the lectin activity requires only Ca2+ . Further, our analysis suggests that an alternative mechanism of PPO reaction may be operative in DLL-II, which involves a mononuclear Cu2+ metal center; this is in contrast to the bi-nuclear Cu2+ metal center commonly observed in all PPOs. Importantly, structural and computational approaches employed here, we hypothesize possible PPO binding sites and the corresponding migration channels for accessing the active site.

Abstract
In lipoxygenases, the topologically conserved C-terminal domain catalyzes the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, generating an assortment of biologically relevant signaling mediators. Plant and animal lipoxygenases also contain a 100-150-amino acid N-terminal C2-like domain that has been implicated in interactions with isolated fatty acids and at the phospholipid bilayer. These interactions may lead to increased substrate availability and contribute to the regulation of active-site catalysis. Because of a lack of structural information, a molecular understanding of this lipid-protein interaction remains unresolved. Herein, we employed hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS (HDXMS) to spatially resolve changes in protein conformation upon interaction of soybean lipoxygenase with a fatty acid surrogate, oleyl sulfate (OS), previously shown to act at a site separate from the substrate-binding site. Specific, OS-induced conformational changes are detected both at the N-terminal domain and within the substrate portal nearly 30 Å away. Combining previously measured kinetic properties in the presence of OS with its impact on the Kd for linoleic acid substrate binding, we conclude that OS binding brings about an increase in rate constants for both the ingress and egress of substrate. We discuss the role of OS-induced changes in protein flexibility in the context of changes in the mechanism of substrate acquisition.

Abstract
This study describes the partial purification and characterization of lipoxygenase (LOX) from pearl millet mature grains of inbred HBL 0843-2. Two isoforms of LOX, i.e., LOX 1 and LOX 2, were purified using ammonium sulphate fractionation, gel filtration chromatography and ion exchange chromatography near homogeneity to 56 and 40 folds with yield of 28 and 24%, respectively. LOX 1 and LOX 2 having molecular masses of approximately 85 and 79 kDa, respectively were purified. LOX 1 and LOX 2 exhibited maximum activity at pH 4.5 and 4.8, respectively at 25 °C temperature. Both the isoforms, which showed thermostability up to 35 °C when incubated for 30 min, were stable at a pH range of 7-7.8. LOX 1 and LOX 2 had apparent Km value of 0.86 and 0.57 µM, respectively. Ascorbic acid and vitamin E inhibited 66-78 and 61-69% activity of LOX 1 and LOX 2, respectively but Na+, Zn2+ and K+ strongly inhibited the activity of these isozymes. The present information about lipoxygenase enzyme might be valuable in drafting the strategies for its inactivation, which in turn can obstruct the LOX damaging effects on food products during processing and storage.

Abstract
The biological function of lipoxygenases depends on the regio and stereo specific formation of fatty acid-derived hydroperoxides and different concepts exist to explain the mechanism that directs dioxygen to a specific carbon atom within the substrate. Here, we report the 1.8 Å resolution crystal structure of a cyanobacterial lipoxygenase that produces bis-allylic hydroperoxides (CspLOX2). Site directed mutagenesis experiments combined with computational approaches reveal that residues around the active site direct dioxygen to a preferred carbon atom and stereo configuration in the substrate fatty acid. Modulating the cavity volume around the pentadiene system of linoleic acid shifted the product formation towards 9S-, 9R-, 13S- or 13R-hydroperoxides in correlation with the site of mutation, thus decreasing the amount of the bis-allylic 11R-hydroperoxide. Decreasing the channel size of a 9R-lipoxygenase (CspLOX1) on the other hand could in turn induce formation of the bis-allylic 11R-hydroperoxide. Together this study suggests that an active site clamp fixing the pentadiene system of the substrate together with steric shielding controls the stereo and regio specific positioning of dioxygen at all positions of the reacting pentadiene system of substrate fatty acids.

Abstract
Remarkably few enzymes are known to employ a mononuclear manganese ion that undergoes changes in redox state during catalysis. Many questions remain to be answered about the role of substrate binding and/or protein environment in modulating the redox properties of enzyme-bound Mn(II), the nature of the dioxygen species involved in the catalytic mechanism, and how these enzymes acquire Mn(II) given that many other metal ions in the cell form more stable protein complexes. Here, we summarize current knowledge concerning the structure and mechanism of five mononuclear manganese-dependent enzymes: superoxide dismutase, oxalate oxidase (OxOx), oxalate decarboxylase (OxDC), homoprotocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase, and lipoxygenase (LOX). Spectroscopic measurements and/or computational studies suggest that Mn(III)/Mn(II) are the catalytically active oxidation states of the metal, and the importance of 'second-shell' hydrogen bonding interactions with metal ligands has been demonstrated for a number of examples. The ability of these enzymes to modulate the redox properties of the Mn(III)/Mn(II) couple, thereby allowing them to generate substrate-based radicals, appears essential for accessing diverse chemistries of fundamental importance to organisms in all branches of life.

Abstract
A reactive hydroxoferric porphyrazine complex, [(PyPz)FeIII(OH) (OH2)]4+ (1, PyPz = tetramethyl-2,3-pyridino porphyrazine), has been prepared via one-electron oxidation of the corresponding ferrous species [(PyPz)FeII(OH2)2]4+ (2). Electrochemical analysis revealed a pH-dependent and remarkably high FeIII-OH/FeII-OH2 reduction potential of 680 mV vs Ag/AgCl at pH 5.2. Nernstian behavior from pH 2 to pH 8 indicates a one-proton, one-electron interconversion throughout that range. The O-H bond dissociation energy of the FeII-OH2 complex was estimated to be 84 kcal mol-1. Accordingly, 1 reacts rapidly with a panel of substrates via C-H hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), reducing 1 to [(PyPz)FeII(OH2)2]4+ (2). The second-order rate constant for the reaction of [(PyPz)FeIII(OH) (OH2)]4+ with xanthene was 2.22 × 103 M-1 s-1, 5-6 orders of magnitude faster than other reported FeIII-OH complexes and faster than many ferryl complexes.
