Contains nonheme iron. A common plant lipoxygenase that oxidizes linoleate and alpha-linolenate, the two most common polyunsaturated fatty acids in plants, by inserting molecular oxygen at the C-13 position with (S)-configuration. This enzyme produces precursors for several important compounds, including the plant hormone jasmonic acid. EC 1.13.11.58, linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase, catalyses a similar reaction at the second available position of these fatty acids.

LOX1 is a non-conventional LOX with 13- or dual position-specific LOX activity. LOX1 is involved in the synthesis of jasmonic acid, colneleic acid, and (Z)-3-hexenal. The LOX1 product is involved in tolerance of the rice plant to wounding and brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens attack

UNIPROT
LITERATURE
in all antisense transgenic rice lines and more than half of the sense lines the expression levels of LOX1, the levels of enzyme activity, and the levels of the endogenous LOX1 products (jasmonic acid, (Z)-3-hexenal and colneleic acid) at 6, 48, and 48 h after brown planthopper feeding respectively, are below the levels found in non-transgenic control plants
LOX1 transcripts accumulate rapidly and transiently in response to wounding or brown planthopper attack, reaching a peak 3 h after wounding and 6 h after insect feeding. Transgenic rice lines show altered LOX1 activity
