Soybean lipoxygenases catalyze lipid hydroperoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Putative ligand mediated conformational changes in soybean lipoxygenase 3 (L3) were studied by a combination of limited proteolysis and a series of monoclonal antibodies that recognize discontinuous epitopes and alter catalysis (inhibition and activation). Trypsin cleaved L3 (97 kDa) into C-terminal 60 kDa and N-terminal 37 kDa fragments. The 37 kDa fragment was obtained from a 38 kDa fragment formed initially. Using protein footprinting, the epitopes of the antibodies were mapped to the 37 kDa fragment. Proteolysis in the presence of a substrate analog inhibitor, oleic acid, generated the 60 and the 38 kDa fragments only. No further proteolysis of the 38 kDa fragment was seen even after prolonged incubation. This was not a detergent effect since the altered proteolysis pattern was not obtained in the presence of SDS or Tween 20. Binding of a monoclonal antibody to L3 in the presence of oleic acid was substantially reduced providing additional evidence for a conformational change induced by the oleic acid—lipoxygenase interaction. These observations are interpreted using the recently solved three-dimensional structure of L3. It is apparent that while the protein is composed of a small N-terminal/3-barrel domain and a large principally a-helical C-terminal domain, proteolysis does not take place at a linking region between the two domains. The proteolysis result makes it clear that the smaller domain is connected across the entire length of the larger domain to a narrow, tongue-like projection thatextends into the vicinity of the entrance to the proposed substrate binding channel. It is proposed that conformational changes take place upon oleic acid binding which are transmitted through the protein and alter structural features in the N-terminal fragment that are sensitive to proteolysis and antibody binding. This is the first direct evidence for conformational changes related to catalysis in lipoxygenase.Lipoxygenase plays a fundamental role in polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism in plants and animals. The enzyme is responsible for the inauguration of the biosynthesis of leukotrienes, lipoxins, and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids from arachidonic acid in numerous mammalian cells (Samuelsson et al., 1987). In plants the substrates for hydroperoxidation are linoleic and linolenic acids, and the products are intermediates in the biosynthesis of compounds with growth regulatory as well as pest resistance properties (Siedow, 1991). Soybean lipoxygenase-1 has been available in a highly purified form since 1947 (Theorell et al., 1947),
