An efficient three-step purification technique has been developed for the reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase from rabbit. Ammonium sulfate fractionated reticulocyte lysate was purified by size exclusion chromatography and preparative scale isoelectric focusing. The entire procedure was complete in less than eight hours and was carried out in batches which typically yielded 10 mg of purified enzyme. The identity and purity of the enzyme were evaluated by N-terminal sequencing, sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and specific activity determinations. The enzyme contained approximately one g-atom iron per mole of protein. The iron was present in an electron paramagnetic spectroscopy (EPR) silent, presumably high spin iron(II), form in the isolated enzyme. Treatment with one equivalent of 13-hydroperoxy-9(Z),11(E)-octadecadienoic acid resulted in the appearance of an EPR signal around g6.

D008667 Metalloproteins Proteins that have one or more tightly bound metal ions forming part of their structure. (Dorland, 28th ed) Metalloprotein
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001093 Arachidonate 15-Lipoxygenase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 15-hydroperoxyarachidonate (15-HPETE) which is rapidly converted to 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoate (15-HETE). The 15-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in NEUTROPHILS and LYMPHOCYTES. 15-Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 15-Lipoxygenase,15 Lipoxygenase,15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate,15-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid,Arachidonate 15 Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 15 Lipoxygenase
