Abstract excerpt
Among mammalian lipoxygenases the 15-lipoxygenase-1 is somewhat special because of its capability of oxygenating complex lipid-protein assemblies (biomembranes, lipoproteins) and previous investigations have implicated calcium in enzyme/membrane interaction. We investigated the mechanism of calcium-dependent membrane association and obtained the following results. (i) Membrane binding of 15-lipoxygenase-1...
