Fatty acid hydroperoxides formed by lipoxygenase can be cleaved by hydroperoxide lyase resulting in the formation of short-chain aldehydes and omega-oxo acids. Plant hydroperoxide lyases use 13- or 9-hydroperoxy linoleic and linolenic acid as substrates. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) has been reported to contain a hydroperoxide lyase specific for 13-hydroperoxy linoleic and linolenic acid only. However, in addition to 13-hydroperoxide lyase activity we found substantial 9-hydroperoxide lyase activity in alfalfa seedlings as well. The specific activity for 9-hydroperoxy fatty acids was about 50% of the activity for the 13-isomers. Furthermore, alfalfa seedlings contain a 3Z:2E-enal isomerase that converts the 3Z-enal products to their 2E-enal isoforms.
脂氧合酶形成的脂肪酸氢过氧化物可被氢过氧化物裂解酶裂解,从而形成短链醛和ω-氧代酸。植物氢过氧化物裂解酶以13-或9-氢过氧亚油酸和亚麻酸为底物。据报道,苜蓿(紫花苜蓿)仅含有一种对13-氢过氧亚油酸和亚麻酸具有特异性的氢过氧化物裂解酶。然而,除了13-氢过氧化物裂解酶活性外,我们还在苜蓿幼苗中发现了大量的9-氢过氧化物裂解酶活性。9-氢过氧脂肪酸的比活性约为13-异构体活性的50%。此外,苜蓿幼苗含有一种3Z:2E-烯醛异构酶,可将3Z-烯醛产物转化为其2E-烯醛异构体。
