    1.14.99.1 | evolution |
the algal PGHS lacks structural elements identified in all known animal PGHSs, such as epidermal growth factor-like domain and helix B in the membrane binding domain. The key residues of animal PGHS, like catalytic Tyr385 and heme liganding His388 are conserved in the algal enzyme, but the amino acid residues shown to be important for substrate binding and coordination, and the target residues for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Arg120, Tyr355, and Ser530, are not found at the appropriate positions in the algal sequences. The preferred substrate for the algal PGHS is arachidonic acid with cyclooxygenase reaction rate remarkably higher than values reported for mammalian PGHS isoforms |

neurotoxicity of the amphetamine analogues methamphetamine and 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, the active metabolite of ecstasy, may involve their prostaglandin H synthase-dependent bioactivation to free radical intermediates that generate reactive oxygen species and oxidatively damage cellular macromolecules. The activation effect is blocked by irreversible enzyme inhibitor acetylsalicylic acid, overview |

PHS is involved in the mechanism of thalidomide to cause increased embryonic DNA oxidation measured as 8-oxoguanine leading to embryopathies, phenotype, overview. A prostaglandin H synthase-dependent, reactive oxygen species-mediated mechanism. Thalidomide teratogenicity was blocked by maternal pretreatment with acetylsalicylic acid, an irreversible inhibitor of prostaglandin H synthase |
