This study investigates the lipoxygenase (LOX) activity of recombinant His-tag-CaLOX1 expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). We analyze the effects of pH on enzyme function using phosphate buffers and linoleic acid (0.1 mM) as the substrate. Additionally, time courses for CaLOX1 LOX activity are assessed with both linoleic acid and arachidonic acid as substrates at varying concentrations. Our findings elucidate the impact of environmental conditions on LOX activity, providing insights for future research on lipid metabolism.

LOX activity of recombinant His-tag-CaLOX1 expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). A, Effect of pH on CaLOX1 LOX activity. Purified CaLOX1 was analyzed for enzyme activity in phosphate buffers with different pH values using 0.1 mM linoleic acid as a substrate. B, Time courses of CaLOX1 LOX activity. Purified CaLOX1 was incubated with 0.1 mM of linoleic acid or arachidonic acid as a substrate. C, Time courses of the LOX activity of purified CaLOX1, as determined with various concentrations of linoleic acid as a substrate.
