FunFam 1: Lipoxygenase

There are 2 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
Linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase. [EC: 1.13.11.12]
(1) Linoleate + O(2) = (9Z,11E,13S)-13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11-dienoate. (2) Alpha-linolenate + O(2) = (9Z,11E,13S,15Z)-13-hydroperoxyoctadeca- 9,11,15-trienoate.
  • A common plant lipoxygenase that oxidizes linoleate and alpha- linolenate, the two most common polyunsaturated fatty acids in plants, by inserting molecular oxygen at the C(13) position with (S)- configuration.
  • This enzyme produces precursors for several important compounds, including the plant hormone jasmonic acid.
  • EC 1.13.11.58 catalyzes a similar reaction at the second available position of these fatty acids.
  • Formerly EC 1.13.1.13 and EC 1.99.2.1.

Linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase. [EC: 1.13.11.58]
Linoleate + O(2) = (9S,10E,12Z)-9-hydroperoxy-10,12-octadecadienoate.
  • A common plant lipoxygenase that oxidizes linoleate and alpha- linolenate, the two most common polyunsaturated fatty acids in plants, by inserting molecular oxygen at the C(9) position with (S)- configuration.
  • The enzyme plays a physiological role during the early stages of seedling growth.
  • The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana shows comparable activity toward linoleate and linolenate.
  • EC 1.13.11.12 catalyzes a similar reaction at another position of these fatty acids.
