| Comparison of the Substrate Specificities of Lipoxygenases Purified from Soybean Seed, Wheat Seed, and Cucumber Cotyledons  | | | Abstract
| Lipoxygenases were highly purified from soybean seed, wheat seed and cucumber cotyle dons. Substrate specificities o f these lipoxygenases were studied by using an entire series o f (co6Z ,co9Z)-C 13~C24-dienoic acids as synthetic substrate analogues. Soybean lipoxygenase-1 and cucumber lipoxygenase showed broad specificities for these substrates while wheat lipoxygenase showed narrow specificities. Position o f dioxygenation to each substrate was an alyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. W ith soybean lipoxygenase-1 elongation o f the distance between the terminal carboxyl group and the site o f hydrogen removal in a substrate decreased the positional specificity o f dioxygenation, while, with cucumber lipoxy genase, shortening the distance decreased the specificity. It was suggested that cucumber lipoxygenase and soybean lipoxygenase-1 recognized the terminal carboxyl group o f a sub strate to arrange it only in one orientation at the reaction center. In case o f wheat lipoxygen ase, recognition o f the carboxyl group was thought to have crucial and essential role to secure the activity. | | |

| Separation of 13-and 9-Hydroperoxide Lyase Activities in Cotyledons of Cucumber Seedlings  | | | Abstract
| In cucumber cotyledons, both C6-and C9-aldehyde were formed via hydroperoxide (H PO) lyase activity. Because it has not been elucidated whether these activities are attri buted to one enzym e which can cleave both 13-and 9-H PO or to two or more enzym es each o f which specifically cleaves 13-or 9-H PO , an attempt to separate HPO lyase activity was done. Ion exchange chromatography separated this activity into two fractions, one o f which specifically cleaved 13-hydroperoxylinoleic acid and the other specifi cally cleaved the 9-isomer. 13-H PO -specific activity was most active at pH 8.0 and 9-H PO -specific one was at pH 6.5. SH -reagents inhibited both the lyases but to differ ent extents. | | |
