FunFam 5: Fatty acid oxygenase

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
9,12-octadecadienoate 8-hydroperoxide 8R-isomerase. [EC: 5.4.4.5]
(8R,9Z,12Z)-8-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate = (5S,8R,9Z,12Z)-5,8- dihydroxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate.
  • The bifunctional enzyme from Aspergillus nidulans uses different heme domains to catalyze two separate reactions.
  • Linoleic acid is oxidized within the N-terminal heme peroxidase domain to (8R,9Z,12Z)-8-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate (cf. EC 1.13.11.60), which is subsequently isomerized to (5S,8R,9Z,12Z)- 5,8-dihydroxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate within the C-terminal P450 heme thiolate domain.

Linoleate 8R-lipoxygenase. [EC: 1.13.11.60]
Linoleate + O(2) = (8R,9Z,12Z)-8-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate.
  • The bifunctional enzyme from Aspergillus nidulans uses different heme domains to catalyze two separate reactions.
  • Linoleic acid is oxidized within the N-terminal heme peroxidase domain to (8R,9Z,12Z)-8-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate, which is subsequently isomerized by the C-terminal P450 heme thiolate domain to (5S,8R,9Z,12Z)-5,8-dihydroxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate (cf. EC 5.4.4.5).
  • The bifunctional enzyme from Gaeumannomyces graminis also catalyzes the oxidation of linoleic acid to (8R,9Z,12Z)-8-hydroperoxyoctadeca- 9,12-dienoate, but its second domain isomerizes it to (7S,8S,9Z,12Z)- 5,8-dihydroxyoctadeca-9,12-dienoate (cf. EC 5.4.4.6).
  • Formerly EC 1.13.11.44.

Linoleate 10R-lipoxygenase. [EC: 1.13.11.62]
Linoleate + O(2) = (8E,10R,12Z)-10-hydroperoxyoctadeca-8,12-dienoate.
  • The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of oxylipins, which affect sporulation, development, and pathogenicity of Aspergillus spp.
