| Abstract | Leukocyte preparations convert the hydroperoxy icosatetraenoic acids 5(S)-HPETE and 15(S)-HPETE to the unstable leukotriene epoxides LTA4 and 14,15-LTA4. In several ways, the conversion of 5- or 15-HPETE to leukotriene epoxide bears a formal mechanistic resemblance to the reaction catalyzed by the 12-lipoxygenase in the conversion of arachidonic acid to 12(S)-HPETE. Points of similarity include enzymatic removal of a hydrogen at carbon 10, double bond isomerization, and formation of a new carbon-to-oxygen bond. In the case of 15(S)-HPETE, two 8,15- and an erythro-14,15-dihydroxy acid (8,15- and 14,15-DiHETEs), which result from incorporation of molecular oxygen into each hydroxyl group, are coproducts in the formation of 14,15-LTA4. These facts prompted us to test the hypothesis that the biosynthesis of 14,15-LTA4 and of 8,15- and 14,15-DiHETEs from 15(S)-HPETE occurs by a mechanism similar to that observed in lipoxygenase reactions. Based on the results presented here, we conclude that the biosynthesis of 14,15-LTA4 and of 8,15- and 14,15-DiHETEs from 15(S)-HPETE occurs via a common intermediate and that, moreover, the formation of these metabolites from 15(S)-HPETE is catalyzed by an enzyme with many mechanistic features in common with the 12-lipoxygenase. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
