The nuclear membrane leukotriene synthetic complex is a signal integrator and transducer

Abstract: Leukotrienes are bioactive signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid that initiate and amplify innate immunity. A single structure, the leukotriene synthetic complex, on the nuclear membrane of neutrophils integrates and transduces extracellular signals to generate the chemotactic lipid LTB4.

“…Furthermore, earlier studies discussed the regulatory role of endogenously released arachidonic acid for 5-LO translocation (47). We show that cPLA 2 inhibition prevents 5-LO/FLAP interaction, which is in agreement with previous studies (28), and supplementation of arachidonic acid or 5-HPETE restored the 5-LO/FLAP complex. Hence, arachidonic acid or 5-HPETE is essential for the 5-LO/FLAP interaction, possibly by acting as adaptor molecules.…”

“…IF microscopy of 5-LO and FLAP in parallel enabled colocalization studies at the nuclear membrane (12,15,28), but whether the 2 proteins closely interact with each other cannot be answered using this technique. The PLA is a sophisticated method to reveal the proximity of 2 unmodified, native proteins (no tags, dyes, or labels) in situ of less than 40 nm distance, at a defined locale in the cell (24).…”

“…2C), indicating that during this mimic of physiological conditions, all detectable 5LO activity occurred at the nuclear membrane. Furthermore, our finding that FLAP knockdown reduced the yield of LTC 4 in LTA 4 incubations indicates that FLAP may support the activity of LTC 4 synthase, in line with these two proteins in the membrane-associated proteins in eicosanoid and glutathione metabolism family forming a cellular complex (5,22).…”

“…It has recently been shown that leukotriene synthesis involves activationdependent formation of supramolecular complexes on the nuclear envelope composed of FLAP with 5-LO and FLAP with leukotriene C 4 synthase ( 117,118 ). In addition, cPLA 2 ␣ -derived arachidonic acid was shown to affect the conformation of FLAP and enhance its ability to recruit 5-LO for complex formation ( 119 ). It is not known whether cPLA 2 ␣ physically associates with these complexes or whether arachidonic acid released in their vicinity diffuses through the membrane to initiate leukotriene production.…”
