A search for oxygen-centered free radicals in the lipoxygenase/linoleic acid system
Abstract
Studies of the oxygenation of linoleic acid by soybean lipoxygenase utilizing electron spin resonance spectroscopy and oxygen uptake have been undertaken. The spin trap, alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-t-butylnitrone (4-POBN) was included in the lipoxygenase system to capture short-lived free radicals. Correlation of radical adduct formation rates with oxygen uptake studies indicated that the major portion of radical adduct formation occurred when the system was nearly anaerobic. Incubations containing [17O]oxygen with nuclear spin of 5/2 did not have additional ESR lines as would be expected if an oxygen-centered 4-POBN-lipid peroxyl radical adduct were formed indicating that the trapped radical must be reassigned as a carbon-centered species. To establish the presence of [17O2]oxygen in our incubations, a portion of the gas from the lipoxygenase/linoleate experiments was used to prepare the 4-POBN-superoxide radical adduct utilizing a superoxide producing microsomal/paraquat/NADPH system.
