Plant and fungal lipoxygenases

Lipoxygenases (LOX) are ubiquitous in plants, and some are important for resistance to
pathogens. The soybean LOX (SLOX) remain the prototypes for studying lipoxygenation.
The 3-D structures of SLOX-1 and-3 reveal an N-terminal β-barrel and a C-terminal catalytic
domain. The β-barrel with 30kDa of the N-terminal peptide chain of SLOX-1 can be
separated from the catalytic domain (60kDa), which is a functional lipoxygenase designated
“mini-LOX.” The 3-D structures have made it possible to predict and interpret effects of point …
