Products of a linoleic hydroperoxide-decomposing enzyme of alfalfa seed

Alfalfa seeds and seedlings contain an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction with the 13- and 9-hydroperoxides of linoleic acid to form 13-hydroxy-10-oxo-trans-octadecenoic acid and 9-hydroxy-12-oxo-trans-10-octadecenoic acid, respectively. When commercial lipoxygenase is used to generate the hydroperoxi...

description Alfalfa seeds and seedlings contain an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction with the 13- and 9-hydroperoxides of linoleic acid to form 13-hydroxy-10-oxo-trans-octadecenoic acid and 9-hydroxy-12-oxo-trans-10-octadecenoic acid, respectively. When commercial lipoxygenase is used to generate the hydroperoxides, the above acids appear in about 2:1 proportions, respectively. The products of the action of the enzyme on the hydroperoxides were stabilized for analysis by reduction with H2 and LiAlH4. Trimethylsilyl derivatives of reduced products were analyzed by combined gas–liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Specific deuterium labeling permitted definite location of the oxo functions. 18O2 labeling experiments showed that the oxygens of both the oxo and the hydroxyl functions were derived from the hydroperoxide. Retention of both oxygens suggests that the reaction proceeds through a cyclic epiperoxide followed by a ketohydroxy-forming rearrangement. No products of hydroperoxide isomerase were found in reactions catalyzed by the crude enzyme from alfalfa seeds.
