1.13.11.12

Accepted name:

linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase

Reaction:

(1) linoleate + O₂ = (9Z,11E,13S)-13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11-dienoate
(2) α-linolenate + O₂ = (9Z,11E,13S,15Z)-13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11,15-trienoate

Glossary:

linoleate = (9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoate
α-linolenate = (9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoate

Other name(s):

13-lipoxidase; carotene oxidase; 13-lipoperoxidase; fat oxidase; 13-lipoxydase; lionoleate:O₂ 13-oxidoreductase

Systematic name:

linoleate:oxygen 13-oxidoreductase

Comments:

Contains nonheme iron. A common plant lipoxygenase that oxidizes linoleate and α-linolenate, the two most common polyunsaturated fatty acids in plants, by inserting molecular oxygen at the C-13 position with (S)-configuration. This enzyme produces precursors for several important compounds, including the plant hormone jasmonic acid. EC 1.13.11.58, linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase, catalyses a similar reaction at the second available position of these fatty acids.
