Human Cyclooxygenase-2 Is a Sequence Homodimer That Functions as a Conformational Heterodimer
摘要:
Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases 1 and 2, also known as cyclooxygenases (COXs) 1 and 2, convert arachidonic acid (AA) to prostaglandin endoperoxide H-2. Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases are targets of nonspecific nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and COX-2-specific inhibitors called coxibs. PGHS-2 is a sequence homodimer. Each monomer has a peroxidase and a COX active site. We find that human PGHS-2 functions as a conformational heterodimer having a catalytic monomer (E-cat) and an allosteric monomer (E-allo). Heme binds tightly only to the peroxidase site of E-cat, whereas substrates, as well as certain inhibitors (e.g. celecoxib), bind the COX site of E-cat. E-cat is regulated by E-allo in a manner dependent on what ligand is bound to E-allo. Substrate and nonsubstrate fatty acids (FAs) and some COX inhibitors (e. g. naproxen) preferentially bind to the COX site of E-allo. AA can bind to E-cat and E-allo, but the affinity of AA for E-allo is 25 times that for E-cat. Palmitic acid, an efficacious stimulator of human PGHS-2, binds only E-allo in palmitic acid/murine PGHS-2 co-crystals. Nonsubstrate FAs can potentiate or attenuate actions of COX inhibitors depending on the FA and whether the inhibitor binds E-cat or E-allo. Our studies suggest that the concentration and composition of the free FA pool in the environment in which PGHS-2 functions in cells, the FA tone, is a key factor regulating PGHS-2 activity and its responses to COX inhibitors. We suggest that differences in FA tone occurring with different diets will likely affect both baseline prostanoid synthesis and responses to COX inhibitors.
Interfacial Kinetic and Binding Properties of Mammalian Group IVB Phospholipase A2 (cPLA2β) and Comparison with the Other cPLA2 Isoforms
摘要:
The cytosolic (group IV) phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)s) family contains six members. We have prepared recombinant proteins for human alpha, mouse beta, human gamma, human delta, human epsilon, and mouse zeta cPLA(2)s and have studied their interfacial kinetic and binding properties in vitro. Mouse cPLA(2)beta action on phosphatidylcholine vesicles is activated by anionic phosphoinositides and cardiolipin but displays a requirement for Ca2+ only in the presence of cardiolipin. This activation pattern is explained by the effects of anionic phospholipids and Ca2+ on the interfacial binding of mouse cPLA(2)beta and its C2 domain to vesicles. Ca2+ dependent binding of mouse cPLA(2)beta to cardiolipin-containing vesicles requires a patch of basic residues near the Ca2+-binding surface loops of the C2 domain, but binding to phosphoinositide-containing vesicles does not depend on any specific cluster of basic residues. Human cPLA(2)delta also displays Ca2+- and cardiolipin-enhanced interfacial binding and activity. The lysophospholipase, phospholipase A(1), and phospholipase A(2) activities of the full set of mammalian cPLA(2)s were quantified. The relative level of these activities is very different among the isoforms, and human cPLA(2)delta stands out as having relatively high phospholipase A(1) activity. We also tested the susceptibility of all cPLA(2) family members to a panel of previously reported inhibitors of human cPLA(2)alpha and analogs of these compounds. This led to the discovery of a potent and selective inhibitor of mouse cPLA(2)beta. These in vitro studies help determine the regulation and function of the cPLA(2) family members.

of fatty acid hydroperoxides to epoxyalcohols is a well known secondary reaction of lipoxygenases, described for S-specific lipoxygenases forming epoxyalcohols with a trans-epoxide configuration. Here we report on R-specific lipoxygenase synthesis of a cis-epoxyalcohol. Although arachidonic and dihomo-γ-linolenic acids are metabolized by extracts of the Caribbean coralPlexaurahomomalla via 8R-lipoxygenase
