On the singular, dual, and multiple positional specificity of manganese lipoxygenase and its G316A mutant

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2007
manganese lipoxygenase (Mn-LO) oxygenates 18:3n-3 and 18:2n-6 to bis-allylic 11S-hydroperoxy fatty acids, which are converted to 13R-hydroperoxy fatty acids.

Secretion of two novel enzymes, manganese 9S-lipoxygenase and epoxy alcohol synthase, by the rice pathogen Magnaporthe salvinii[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
The mycelium of the rice stem pathogen, Magnaporthe salvinii, secreted linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase (9S-LOX) and epoxy alcohol synthase (EAS). The EAS rapidly transformed 9S-hydroperoxy-octadeca-10E,12Z-dienoic acid (9S-HPODE) to threo 10 (11)-epoxy-9S ...

Green leaf volatiles and jasmonic acid enhance susceptibility to anthracnose diseases caused by Colletotrichum graminicola in maize

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 21, Issue 5, Page 702-715, May 2020., 2020
Jasmonic acid and green leaf volatiles act as key susceptibility factors of maize to Colletotrichum graminicola by suppressing salicylic acid‐mediated defence during the biotrophic phase of growth. Abstract Colletotrichum graminicola is a hemibiotrophic fungus that causes anthracnose leaf blight (ALB) and anthracnose stalk rot (ASR) in maize.

PACAP27 mitigates an age‐dependent hippocampal vulnerability to PGJ2‐induced spatial learning deficits and neuroinflammation in mice

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2020., 2020
PGJ2 was infused into the hippocampus of young and aged adolescent mice. Learning and memory assessments on the radial arm maze revealed that only aged mice exhibited cognitive deficits following infusions. This indicates that aged mice are susceptible to neuroinflammation propagated by PGJ2. Abstract Background Inflammation in the brain is mediated by
