【 摘 要 】

Recently, we found a 13-lipoxygenase in germinating cucumber cotyledons, which was located at the lipid body membrane. Based on its products formed mobilization of storage lipids seems to be initiated by this 13-lipoxygenase. For biochemical characterization its cDNA was expressed as His-tagged protein. Active recombinant enzyme was obtained from low temperature cultivation of E. coli after affinity purification. It (i) exhibited an unchanged region specificity, and (ii) showed a pH optimum of 7.2 against trilinolein as substrate. We compared its ability to oxygenate trilinolein with the one of another 13-lipoxygenase, soybean lipoxygenase-1. At the pH optimum of soybean lipoxygenase-1 (9.0), trilinolein was oxygenated only to 28% of the amount converted by the lipid body lipoxygenase. Moreover, trilinolein oxygenation by soybean lipoxygenase-1 leads mainly to monohydroperoxy derivatives, whereas oxygenation by lipid body LOX leads to a trihydroperoxy derivative.
