Structural and functional insights into the reaction specificity of catalase-related hydroperoxide lyase: A shift from lyase activity to allene oxide synthase by site-directed mutagenesis.

Two highly identical fusion proteins, an allene oxide synthase-lipoxygenase (AOS-LOX) and a hydroperoxide lyase-lipoxygenase (HPL-LOX), were identified in the soft coral Capnella imbricata. Both enzymes initially catalyze the formation of 8R-hydroperoxy-eicosatetraenoic acid (8R-HpETE) from arachido...
