Abstract 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. Other unsaturated C₁₆-C₂₂ fatty acids, except 17:3n-3, are poor substrates, possibly because of ineffective enzyme activation (Mn^IIMn^III) by the produced hydroperoxides. Our aim was to determine whether unsaturated C₁₆-C₂₂ fatty acids were oxidized by Mn^III-LO. Mn^III-LO oxidized C₁₆, C₁₉, C₂₀, and C₂₂ n-3 and n-6 fatty acids. The carbon chain length influenced the position of hydrogen abstraction (n-8, n-5) and oxygen insertion at the terminal or the penultimate 1Z,4Z-pentadienes. Dilinoleoyl-glycerophosphatidylcholine was oxidized by Mn-LO, in agreement with a "tail-first" model. 16:3n-3 was oxidized at the bis-allylic n-5 carbon and at positions n-3, n-7, and n-6. Long fatty acids, 19:3n-3, 20:3n-3, 20:4n-6, 22:5n-3, and 22:5n-6, were oxidized mainly at the n-6 and the bis-allylic n-8 positions (in ratios of 3:2). The bis-allylic hydroperoxides accumulated with one exception, 13-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (13-HPETE). Mn^III-LO oxidized 20:4n-6 to 15R-HPETE (60%) and 13-HPETE (37%) and converted 13-HPETE to 15R-HPETE. Mn^III-LO G316A oxygenated mainly 16:3n-3 at positions n-7 and n-6, 19:3n-3 at n-10, n-8, and n-6, and 20:3n-3 at n-10 and n-8. We conclude that Mn-LO likely binds fatty acids tail-first and oxygenates many C₁₆, C₁₈, C₂₀, and C₂₂ fatty acids to significant amounts of bis-allylic hydroperoxides.
