Abstract
The present work reports the detection and cloning of a new CYP74 clan gene of the European lancelet (Branchiostoma lanceolatum) and the biochemical characterization of the recombinant protein CYP440A19. CYP440A19 possessed epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS) activity towards the 13-hydroperoxides of linoleic and α-linolenic acids, which were converted into oxiranylcarbinols, i.e., (11S,12R,13S)-11-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy derivatives. The conversion of 9-hydroperoxides produced distinct products. Linoleic acid 9(S)-hydroperoxide (9-HPOD) was mainly converted into 9,14-diol (10E,12E)-9,14-dihydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid and macrolactone 9(S),10(R)-epoxy-11(E)-octadecen-13(S)-olide. In addition, (8Z)-colneleic acid was formed. Brief incubations of the enzyme with 9-HPOD in a biphasic system of hexane-water enabled the isolation of the short-lived 9,10-epoxydiene (9S,10R,11E,13E)-9,10-epoxy-11,13-octadecadienoic acid. The structure and stereochemistry of the epoxyalcohols, macrolactone, (8Z)-colneleic acid (Me), and 9,10-epoxydiene (Me) were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 1H-1H-COSY, 1H-13C-HSQC, and 1H-13C-HMBC spectroscopy. Macrolactone and cis-9,10-epoxydiene are novel products. The 9-hydroperoxide of α-linolenic acid was mainly converted into macrolactone 9(S),10(R)-epoxy-11(E),15(Z)-octadecadiene-13(S)-olide and a minority of divinyl ethers, particularly (8Z)-colnelenic acid. The versatility of enzyme catalysis, as well as the diversity of CYP74s and other enzymes involved in oxylipin biosynthesis, demonstrates the complexity of the lipoxygenase pathway in lancelets.

PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 224:114151. [PMID: 38768880 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
The plant lipoxygenase cascade is a source of various regulatory oxylipins that play a role in cell signalling, stress adaptation, and immune response. Recently, we detected an unprecedented 16(S)-lipoxygenase, CsLOX3, in the leaves and fruit pericarp of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). In the present work, an array of products biosynthesized through the conversions of α-linolenic acid 16-hydroperoxide (16-HPOT) was detected. Firstly, a prominent 15-hydroxy-9,12-pentadecadienoic acid (Me/TMS) was detected, the product of hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) chain cleavage of 16-HPOT and further reduction of aldehyde 15-oxo-9,12-pentadecadienoic acid to alcohol. Besides, the presence of dicarboxylic acid, 3,6-pentadecadiene-1,15-dioic acid, was deduced from the detection of its catalytic hydrogenation product, pentadecane-1,15-dioic acid. Finally, 12,15-dihydroxypentadecanoic acid (Me/TMS) was detected amongst the hydrogenated products, thus indicating the presence of the parent 12,15-dihydroxy-9,13-pentadecadienoic acid. To confirm the proposed HPL chain cleavage, the 16(S)-HPOT was prepared and incubated with the recombinant cucumber HPL CYP74B6 enzyme. The CYP74B6 possessed high activity towards 16-HPOT. Chain cleavage yields the (9Z,12Z)-15-oxo-9,12-pentadecadienoic acid, undergoing a spontaneous isomerization into (9Z,13E)-15-oxo-9,13-pentadecadienoic acid. Thus, the cucumber plants as well as the recombinant cucumber HPL CYP74B6 possessed unprecedented 16-HPL activity, cleaving 16-HPOT into a C15 fragment, 15-oxo-9,12-pentadecadienoic acid, and a complementary volatile C3 fragment, propionic aldehyde. The 16-LOX/16-HPL route of oxylipin biosynthesis presents a novel facet of the plant LOX pathway.

Abstract
The lipoxygenase cascade in plants is a source of oxylipins (oxidized fatty acid derivatives), which play an important role in regulatory processes and formation of plant response to stress factors. Some of the most common enzymes of the lipoxygenase cascade are 13-specific hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs, also called hemiacetal synthases) of the CYP74B subfamily. In this work, we identified and cloned the CYP74B34 gene from carrot (Daucus carota L.) and described the biochemical properties of the corresponding recombinant enzyme. The CYP74B34 enzyme was active towards 9- and 13-hydroperoxides of linoleic (9-HPOD and 13-HPOD, respectively) and α-linolenic (9-HPOT and 13-HPOT, respectively) acids. CYP74B34 specifically converted 9-HPOT and 13-HPOT into aldo acids (HPL products). The transformation of 13-HPOD led to the formation of aldo acids and epoxyalcohols [products of epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS) activity] as major and minor products, respectively. At the same time, conversion of 9-HPOD resulted in the formation of epoxyalcohols as the main products and aldo acids as the minor ones. Therefore, CYP74B34 is the first enzyme with a double HPL/EAS activity described in carrot. The presence of these catalytic activities was confirmed by analysis of the oxylipin profiles for the roots from young seedlings and mature plants. In addition, we substituted amino acid residues in one of the catalytically essential sites of the CYP74B34 and CYP74B33 proteins and investigated the properties of the obtained mutant enzymes.

Distinct Mechanistic Behaviour of Tomato CYP74C3 and Maize CYP74A19 Allene Oxide Synthases: Insights from Trapping Experiments and Allene Oxide Isolation. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032230. [PMID: 36768554 PMCID: PMC9916873 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The product specificity and mechanistic peculiarities of two allene oxide synthases, tomato LeAOS3 (CYP74C3) and maize ZmAOS (CYP74A19), were studied. Enzymes were vortexed with linoleic acid 9-hydroperoxide in a hexane-water biphasic system (20-60 s, 0 °C). Synthesized allene oxide (9,10-epoxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid; 9,10-EOD) was trapped with ethanol. Incubations with ZmAOS produced predominantly 9,10-EOD, which was converted into an ethanolysis product, (12Z)-9-ethoxy-10-oxo-12-octadecenoic acid. LeAOS3 produced the same trapping product and 9(R)-α-ketol at nearly equimolar yields. Thus, both α-ketol and 9,10-EOD appeared to be kinetically controlled LeAOS3 products. NMR data for 9,10-EOD (Me) preparations revealed that ZmAOS specifically synthesized 10(E)-9,10-EOD, whereas LeAOS3 produced a roughly 4:1 mixture of 10(E) and 10(Z) isomers. The cyclopentenone cis-10-oxo-11-phytoenoic acid (10-oxo-PEA) and the Favorskii-type product yields were appreciable with LeAOS3, but dramatically lower with ZmAOS. The 9,10-EOD (free acid) kept in hexane transformed into macrolactones but did not cyclize. LeAOS3 catalysis is supposed to produce a higher proportion of oxyallyl diradical (a valence tautomer of allene oxide), which is a direct precursor of both cyclopentenone and cyclopropanone. This may explain the substantial yields of cis-10-oxo-PEA and the Favorskii-type product (via cyclopropanone) with LeAOS3. Furthermore, 10(Z)-9,10-EOD may be produced via the reverse formation of allene oxide from oxyallyl diradical.

Abstract
For immobile plants, the main means of protection against adverse environmental factors is the biosynthesis of various secondary (specialized) metabolites. The extreme diversity and high biological activity of these metabolites determine the researchers' interest in plants as a source of therapeutic agents. Oxylipins, oxygenated derivatives of fatty acids, are particularly promising in this regard. Plant oxylipins, which are characterized by a diversity of chemical structures, can exert protective and therapeutic properties in animal cells. While the therapeutic potential of some classes of plant oxylipins, such as jasmonates and acetylenic oxylipins, has been analyzed thoroughly, other oxylipins are barely studied in this regard. Here, we present a comprehensive overview of the therapeutic potential of all major classes of plant oxylipins, including derivatives of acetylenic fatty acids, jasmonates, six- and nine-carbon aldehydes, oxy-, epoxy-, and hydroxy-derivatives of fatty acids, as well as spontaneously formed phytoprostanes and phytofurans. The presented analysis will provide an impetus for further research investigating the beneficial properties of these secondary metabolites and bringing them closer to practical applications.

Abstract
The genome of the neotropical fruit bat Sturnira hondurensis was recently sequenced, revealing an unexpected gene encoding a plant-like protein, CYP74C44, which shares ca. 90% sequence identity with the putative CYP74C of Populus trichocarpa. The preparation and properties of the recombinant CYP74C44 are described in the present work. The CYP74C44 enzyme was found to be active against the 13- and 9-hydroperoxides of linoleic and α-linolenic acids (13-HPOD, 13-HPOT, 9-HPOD, and 9-HPOT, respectively), as well as the 15-hydroperoxide of eicosapentaenoic acid (15-HPEPE). All substrates studied were specifically transformed into chain cleavage products that are typical for hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs). The HPL chain cleavage reaction was validated by the identification of NaBH4-reduced products (Me/TMS) of 15-HPEPE and 13- and 9-hydroperoxides as (all-Z)-14-hydroxy-5,8,11-tetradecatrienoic, (9Z)-12-hydroxy-9-dodecenoic, and 9-hydroxynonanoic acids (Me/TMS), respectively. Thus, CYP74C44 possessed the HPL activity that is typical for the CYP74C subfamily proteins.

Gene Expression Analysis of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Lipoxygenase Cascade and Oxylipin Signature under Abiotic Stress. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11050683.

Abstract
The metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids through the lipoxygenase-catalyzed step and subsequent reactions is referred to as the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway. The components of this system, such as jasmonates, are involved in growth, development and defense reactions of plants. In this report, we focus on dynamics of expression of different LOX pathway genes and activities of target enzymes with three abiotic stress factors: darkness, salinity and herbicide toxicity. To obtain a more complete picture, the expression profiles of marker genes for salicylic acid, abscisic acid, ethylene, auxin and gibberellin-dependent signaling systems under the same stresses were also analyzed. The gene expression in Solanum tuberosum plants was analyzed using qRT-PCR, and we found that the LOX-cascade-related genes responded to darkness, salinity and herbicide toxicity in different ways. We detected activation of a number of 9-LOX pathway genes; however, in contrast to studies associated with biotic stress (infection), the 9-divinyl ether synthase branch of the LOX cascade was inhibited under all three stresses. GC-MS analysis of the oxylipin profiles also showed the main activity of the 9-LOX-cascade-related enzymes after treatment with herbicide and darkness.

Abstract
Nonclassical P450s of the CYP74 family catalyse the secondary conversions of fatty acid hydroperoxides to bioactive oxylipins in plants. The model organism, spikemoss Selaginella moellendorffii Hieron, possesses at least ten CYP74 genes of novel J, K, L, and M subfamilies. The cloning of three CYP74L genes and catalytic properties of recombinant proteins are described in the present work. The CYP74L1 possessed mainly hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) activity towards the 13(S)-hydroperoxide of α-linolenic acids (13-HPOT) and nearly equal HPL and allene oxide synthase (AOS) activities towards the 13(S)-hydroperoxide of linoleic acids (13-HPOD). The 9-hydroperoxides were poor substrates for CYP74L1 and led to the production of mainly the α-ketols (AOS products) and minorities of HPL and epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS) products. The CYP74L2 possessed the AOS activity towards all tested hydroperoxides. CYP74L3 possessed low HPL/EAS activity. Besides, the aerial parts of S. moellendorffii plants possessed complex oxylipins patterns including divinyl ethers, epoxyalcohols, and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid. Characterization of the CYP74L enzymes and oxylipin pattern updates the knowledge on the complex oxylipin biosynthetic machinery in the surviving oldest taxa of vascular plants.

Differential modulation of the lipoxygenase cascade during typical and latent Pectobacterium atrosepticum infections. ANNALS OF BOTANY 2022; 129:271-286.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plant diseases caused by Pectobacterium atrosepticum are often accompanied by extensive rot symptoms. In addition, these bacteria are able to interact with host plants without causing disease for long periods, even throughout several host plant generations. There is, to date, no information on the comparative physiology/biochemistry of symptomatic and asymptomatic plant-P. atrosepticum interactions. Typical (symptomatic) P. atrosepticum infections are associated with the induction of plant responses mediated by jasmonates, which are one of the products of the lipoxygenase cascade that gives origin to many other oxylipins with physiological activities. In this study, we compared the functioning of the lipoxygenase cascade following typical and latent (asymptomatic) infections to gain better insight into the physiological basis of the asymptomatic and antagonistic coexistence of plants and pectobacteria. METHODS Tobacco plants were mock-inoculated (control) or infected with the wild type P. atrosepticum (typical infection) or its coronafacic acid-deficient mutant (latent infection). The expression levels of the target lipoxygenase cascade-related genes were assessed by Illumina RNA sequencing. Oxylipin profiles were analysed by GC-MS. With the aim of revising the incorrect annotation of one of the target genes, its open reading frame was cloned to obtain the recombinant protein, which was further purified and characterized using biochemical approaches. KEY RESULTS The obtained data demonstrate that when compared to the typical infection, latent asymptomatic P. atrosepticum infection is associated with (and possibly maintained due to) decreased levels of 9-lipoxygenase branch products and jasmonic acid and increased level of cis-12-oxo-10,15-phytodienoic acid. The formation of 9-oxononanoic acid and epoxyalcohols in tobacco plants was based on the identification of the first tobacco hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) with additional epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS) activity. CONCLUSIONS Our results contribute to the hypothesis of the oxylipin signature, indicating that different types of plant interactions with a particular pathogen are characterized by the different oxylipin profiles of the host plant. In addition, the tobacco LOC107825278 gene was demonstrated to encode an NtHPL (CYP74C43) enzyme yielding volatile aldehydes and aldoacids (HPL products) as well as oxiranyl carbinols (EAS products).

Abstract
The CYP74 clan cytochromes (P450) are key enzymes of oxidative metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids in plants, some Proteobacteria, brown and green algae, and Metazoa. The CYP74 enzymes, including the allene oxide synthases (AOSs), hydroperoxide lyases, divinyl ether synthases, and epoxyalcohol synthases (EASs) transform the fatty acid hydroperoxides to bioactive oxylipins. A novel CYP74 clan enzyme CYP440A18 of the Asian (Belcher’s) lancelet (Branchiostoma belcheri, Chordata) was biochemically characterized in the present work. The recombinant CYP440A18 enzyme was active towards all substrates used: linoleate and α-linolenate 9- and 13-hydroperoxides, as well as with eicosatetraenoate and eicosapentaenoate 15-hydroperoxides. The enzyme specifically converted α-linolenate 13-hydroperoxide (13-HPOT) to the oxiranyl carbinol (9Z,11R,12R,13S,15Z)-11-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy-9,15-octadecadienoic acid (EAS product), α-ketol, 12-oxo-13-hydroxy-9,15-octadecadienoic acid (AOS product), and cis-12-oxo-10,15-phytodienoic acid (AOS product) at a ratio of around 35:5:1. Other hydroperoxides were converted by this enzyme to the analogous products. In contrast to other substrates, the 13-HPOT and 15-HPEPE yielded higher proportions of α-ketols, as well as the small amounts of cyclopentenones, cis-12-oxo-10,15-phytodienoic acid and its higher homologue, dihomo-cis-12-oxo-3,6,10,15-phytotetraenoic acid, respectively. Thus, the CYP440A18 enzyme exhibited dual EAS/AOS activity. The obtained results allowed us to ascribe a name “B. belcheri EAS/AOS” (BbEAS/AOS) to this enzyme. BbEAS/AOS is a first CYP74 clan enzyme of Chordata species possessing AOS activity.

Abstract
The CYP74 family of cytochromes P450 includes four enzymes of fatty acid hydroperoxide metabolism: allene oxide synthase (AOS), hydroperoxide lyase (HPL), divinyl ether synthase (DES), and epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS). The present work is concerned with catalytic specificities of three recombinant DESs, namely, the 9-DES (LeDES, CYP74D1) of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), 9-DES (NtDES, CYP74D3) of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and 13-DES (LuDES, CYP74B16) of flax (Linum usitatissimum), as well as their alterations upon the site-directed mutagenesis. Both LeDES and NtDES converted 9-hydroperoxides of linoleic and α-linolenic acids to divinyl ethers colneleic and colnelenic acids (respectively) with only minorities of HPL and EAS products. In contrast, LeDES and NtDES showed low efficiency towards the linoleate 13-hydroperoxide, affording only the low yield of epoxyalcohols. LuDES exhibited mainly the DES activity towards α-linolenate 13-hydroperoxide (preferred substrate), and HPL activity towards linoleate 13-hydroperoxide, respectively. In contrast, LuDES converted 9-hydroperoxides primarily to the epoxyalcohols. The F291V and A287G mutations within the I-helix groove region (SRS-4) of LuDES resulted in the loss of DES activity and the acquirement of the epoxyalcohol synthase activity. Thus, the studied enzymes exhibited the versatility of catalysis and its qualitative alterations upon the site-directed mutagenesis.

Abstract
The CYP74B subfamily of fatty acid hydroperoxide transforming cytochromes P450 includes the most common plant enzymes. All CYP74Bs studied yet except the CYP74B16 (flax divinyl ether synthase, LuDES) and the CYP74B33 (carrot allene oxide synthase, DcAOS) are 13-hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs, synonym: hemiacetal synthases). The results of present work demonstrate that additional products (except the HPL products) of fatty acid hydroperoxides conversion by the recombinant StHPL (CYP74B3, Solanum tuberosum), MsHPL (CYP74B4v1, Medicago sativa), and CsHPL (CYP74B6, Cucumis sativus) are epoxyalcohols. MsHPL, StHPL, and CsHPL converted the 13-hydroperoxides of linoleic (13-HPOD) and α-linolenic acids (13-HPOT) primarily to the chain cleavage products. The minor by-products of 13-HPOD and 13-HPOT conversions by these enzymes were the oxiranyl carbinols, 11-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy-9-octadecenoic and 11-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy-9,15-octadecadienoic acid. At the same time, all enzymes studied converted 9-hydroperoxides into corresponding oxiranyl carbinols with HPL by-products. Thus, the results showed the additional epoxyalcohol synthase activity of studied CYP74B enzymes. The 13-HPOD conversion reliably resulted in smaller yields of the HPL products and bigger yields of the epoxyalcohols compared to the 13-HPOT transformation. Overall, the results show the dualistic HPL/EAS behaviour of studied CYP74B enzymes, depending on hydroperoxide isomerism and unsaturation.

Abstract
The CYP74 family of cytochromes P450 includes four fatty acid hydroperoxide metabolizing enzymes: allene oxide synthase (AOS), hydroperoxide lyase (HPL), divinyl ether synthase, and epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS). All P450s have six substrate recognition sites (SRSs) in their structures. Some CYP74 mutations in SRSs leading to their interconversions including substitutions in "F/L toggle" (SRS-1 region) were reported before. For further elucidation of the role of this site in CYP74 catalysis, the effect of Phe/Leu mutation on the specificity of selected AOSs was studied in the present work. Mutant forms of ZmAOS1 (CYP74A19, Zea mays), LeAOS3 (CYP74C3, Lycopersicon esculentum), and PpAOS2 (CYP74A8, Physcomitrella patens) acquired partial EAS activity. Mutant forms of ZmAOS1 and PpAOS2 possessed additional HPL activities. The results validate the significance of the "F/L toggle" as a catalytic determinant of CYP74s, as well as the importance of the conserved Phe at this site for the AOS catalysis.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 of the CYP74 family play a key role in the lipoxygenase cascade generating oxylipins (products of polyunsaturated fatty acid oxidation). The CYP74 family includes allene oxide synthases, hydroperoxide lyases, divinyl ether synthases, and epoxyalcohol synthases. In this work, we cloned the CYP74A88 gene from the Japanese buttercup (Ranunculus japonicus) and studied the properties of the encoded recombinant protein. The CYP74A88 enzyme specifically converts linoleic acid 9- and 13-hydroperoxides to oxiranyl carbinols 9,10-epoxy-11-hydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid and 11-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy-9-octadecenoic acid, respectively, which was confirmed by GC-MS analysis and kinetic studies. Therefore, the CYP74A88 enzyme is a specific epoxyalcohol synthase.

Abstract
Enzymes of CYP74 family widespread in higher plants control the metabolism of fatty acid hydroperoxides to numerous bioactive oxylipins. Hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs, synonym: hemiacetal synthases) of CYP74B subfamily belong to the most common CYP74 enzymes. HPLs isomerize the hydroperoxides to the short-lived hemiacetals, which are spontaneously decomposed to aldehydes and aldoacids. All CYP74Bs studied yet except the CYP74B16 (flax divinyl ether synthase, LuDES) possessed the 13-HPL activity. Present work reports the cloning of the expressed CYP74B33 gene of carrot (Daucus carota L.) and studies of catalytic properties of the recombinant CYP74B33 protein. In contrast to all CYP74B proteins studied yet, CYP74B33 behaved differently in few respects. Firstly, the preferred substrates of CYP74B33 are 9-hydroperoxides. Secondly and most importantly, CYP74B33 exhibits the 9-allene oxide synthase (AOS) activity. For example, the 9(S)-hydroperoxide of linoleic acid (9-HPOD) underwent the conversion to α-ketol via the short-lived allene oxide. Uncommonly, the 9-HPOD conversion affords a minority of cis-10-oxo-11-phytoenoic acid, which is also produced by CYP74C but not the CYP74A AOSs. The similar product patterns were observed upon the incubations of CYP74B33 with 9(S)-hydroperoxide of α-linolenic acid. The enzyme possessed a mixed HPL, AOS, and the epoxyalcohol synthase activity toward the 13-hydroperoxides, but the total activity was much lower than toward 9-hydroperoxides. Thus, the obtained results show that CYP74B33 is an unprecedented 9-AOS within the CYP74B subfamily.

Abstract
: Jasmonic acid (JA) and its related derivatives are ubiquitously occurring compounds of land plants acting in numerous stress responses and development. Recent studies on evolution of JA and other oxylipins indicated conserved biosynthesis. JA formation is initiated by oxygenation of α-linolenic acid (α-LeA, 18:3) or 16:3 fatty acid of chloroplast membranes leading to 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) as intermediate compound, but in Marchantiapolymorpha and Physcomitrellapatens, OPDA and some of its derivatives are final products active in a conserved signaling pathway. JA formation and its metabolic conversion take place in chloroplasts, peroxisomes and cytosol, respectively. Metabolites of JA are formed in 12 different pathways leading to active, inactive and partially active compounds. The isoleucine conjugate of JA (JA-Ile) is the ligand of the receptor component COI1 in vascular plants, whereas in the bryophyte M. polymorpha COI1 perceives an OPDA derivative indicating its functionally conserved activity. JA-induced gene expressions in the numerous biotic and abiotic stress responses and development are initiated in a well-studied complex regulation by homeostasis of transcription factors functioning as repressors and activators.

Abstract
Hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs) of the CYP74 family (P450 superfamily) are widely distributed enzymes in higher plants and are responsible for the stress-initiated accumulation of short-chain aldehydes. Fatty acid hydroperoxides serve as substrates for HPLs; however, details of the HPL-promoted conversion are still incompletely understood. In the present work, we report first time the micropreparative isolation and the NMR structural studies of fatty acid hemiacetal (TMS/TMS), the short-lived HPL product. With this aim, linoleic acid 9(S)‑hydroperoxide (9(S)‑HPOD) was incubated with recombinant melon hydroperoxide lyase (CmHPL, CYP74C2) in a biphasic system of water/hexane for 60 s at 0 °C, pH 4.0. The hexane layer was immediately decanted and vortexed with a trimethylsilylating mixture. Analysis by GC-MS revealed a major product, i.e. the bis-TMS derivative of a hemiacetal which was conclusively identified as 9‑hydroxy‑9‑[(1'E,3'Z)‑nonadienyloxy]‑nonanoic acid by NMR-spectroscopy. Further support for the hemiacetal structure was provided by detailed NMR-spectroscopic analysis of the bis-TMS hemiacetal generated from [13C18]9(S)‑HPOD in the presence of CmHPL. The results obtained provide incontrovertible evidence that the true products of the HPL group of enzymes are hemiacetals, and that the short-chain aldehydes are produced by their rapid secondary chain breakdown. Therefore, we suggest replacing the name "hydroperoxide lyase", which does not reflect the factual isomerase (intramolecular oxidoreductase) activity, with "hemiacetal synthase" (HAS).
