摘要
The leukotrienes (LTs) are a family of lipid mediators involved in inflammation and allergy. Leukotriene B-4 is a classical chemoattractant, which triggers adherence and aggregation of leukocytes to the endothelium at only nanomolar concentrations. In addition, leukotriene B4 modulates immune responses, participates in the host-defense against infections, and is a key mediator of PAF-induced lethal shock. Because of these powerful biological effects, leukotriene B4 is implicated in a variety of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, e.g. nephritis, arthritis, dermatitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The final step in the biosynthesis of leukotriene B-4 is catalyzed by leukotriene A(4) hydrolase, a unique bi-functional zinc metalloenzyme with an anion-dependent aminopeptidase activity. Here we describe the most recent developments regarding our understanding of the structure, function, and catalytic mechanisms of leukotriene A4 hydrolase. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.
