“…12-HETE seemed not to be a substrate of the enzyme [12]; 15-HETE is a substrate (data not shown). In view of the recently detected antiaggregatory activity of the dehydrogenation product 12-0x0-HT [14], further studies on the physiological role of the ISHPG-DH under investigation, its substrate specificity, and its potential activating function are mandatory.…”

-EJB 93 0072/2 NAD+-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase catalyzes the first step in the metabolism of prostaglandins which is usually associated with physiological inactivation. A highly purified homogenous enzyme preparation from human placenta was used to determine the molecular mass and lack of quaternary structure of the enzyme. Furthermore we have examined enzyme kinetics of the purified enzyme with (5Z,8E,1OE,12S)-12-hydroxy-5,8,1O-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) an equimolar coproduct of thromboxane biosynthesis. Using gel electrophoresis and gel filtration on FPLC, we could estimate a molecular mass of 28 2 1 kDa, indicating that the enzyme consists of one single protein chain. The exact molecular mass of the monomer was calculated by matrixassisted laser desorptiordionization mass spectrometry to 28740 +-30 Da.(5Z,8E,10E)-12-oxo-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (0x0-HT) could be identified as the only product obtained from the enzymatic reaction with HHT. Quantification of this metabolite was achieved by gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. The calculated enzyme kinetic constants for the formation of the metabolic product [ K , (HHT) = 9.68 pM, V, = 12.78 mU/pg] were in agreement with those determined for NADH formation (K, = 7.65 pM, V, = 11.79 mU/pg). This demonstrates that HHT shows high affinity to the enzyme which is comparable to prostaglandin E, (PGE,). As the product 0x0-HT is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation, dehydrogenation of HHT might represent a biological activation step.
