Mammalian 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to leukotrienes, potent inflammatory mediators. 5-LO is activated by a Ca(2+)-mediated translocation to membranes, and demonstrates the characteristic features of interfacially activated enzymes, yet the mechanism of membrane binding of 5-LO is not well understood. In an attempt to understand the mechanism of lipid-mediated activation of 5-LO, we have studied the effects of a large set of lipids on human recombinant 5-LO activity, as well as mutual structural effects of 5-LO and membranes. In the presence of 0.35 mM phosphatidylcholine (PC) and 0.2 mM Ca(2+), there was substrate inhibition at >100 microM AA. Data analysis at low AA concentrations yielded the following: K(m) approximately 103 microM and k(cat) approximately 56 s(-1). 5-LO activity was supported by PC more than by any other lipid tested except for a cationic lipid, which was more stimulatory than PC. Binding of 5-LO to zwitterionic and acidic membranes was relatively weak; the extent of binding increased 4-8 times in the presence of Ca(2+), whereas binding to cationic membranes was stronger and essentially Ca(2+)-independent. Polarized attenuated total reflection infrared experiments implied that 5-LO binds to membranes at a defined orientation with the symmetry axis of the putative N-terminal beta-barrel tilted approximately 45 degrees from the membrane normal. Furthermore, membrane binding of 5-LO resulted in dehydration of the membrane surface and was paralleled with stabilization of the structures of both 5-LO and the membrane. Our results provide insight into the understanding of the effects of membrane surface properties on 5-LO-membrane interactions and the interfacial activation of 5-LO.
