Abstract

Levuglandin E2 (LGE2), a γ -ketoaldehyde produced by rearrangement of the prostaglandin endoperoxide PGH2 under the aqueous conditions of its biosynthesis, causes extensive intermolecular crosslinking of ovalbumin at pH 6 or pH 7 and 37° C. The time dependence of protein oligomerization is monitored by SDS-PAGE. Effects of pH and concentration on the extent of LGE2-induced crosslinking are examined. The efficacy of LGE2 for inducing crosslinking is compared with other oxidative metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA), including the prostaglandins PGE2, PGD2, PGA2, PGB2, and PGF2α , as well as malondialdehyde and E-4-hydroxy-non-2-enal. LGE2 is orders of magnitude more effective in crosslinking protein than any other cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase metabolite of AA tested.
