The synthesis of both pro-inflammatory leukotrienes and anti-inflammatory lipoxins requires the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). 5-LOX activity is short-lived, apparently in part due to an intrinsic instability of the enzyme. We identified a 5-LOX-specific destabilizing sequence that is involved in orienting the carboxy-terminus which binds the catalytic iron. Herein we report the crystal structure at 2.4 Å resolution of human 5-LOX stabilized by replacement of this sequence.
