Mutations of Triad Determinants Changes the Substrate Alignment at the Catalytic Center of Human ALOX5.

Abstract excerpt

For the specificity of ALOX15 orthologs of different mammals, the geometry of the amino acids Phe353, Ile418, Met419, and Ile593 ("triad determinants") is important, and mutagenesis of these residues altered the reaction specificity of these enzymes. Here we expressed wild-type human ALOX5 and its F359W/A424I/N425M/A603I mutant in Sf9 insect cells and characterized the catalytic differences of the two enzyme...
