We have recently shown that two distinct prostaglandin (PG) E 2 synthases show
preferential functional coupling with upstream cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 in PGE
2 biosynthesis. To investigate whether other lineage-specific PG synthases also show
preferential coupling with either COX isozyme, we introduced these enzymes alone or in
combination into 293 cells to reconstitute their functional interrelationship. As did the
membrane-bound PGE 2 synthase, the perinuclear enzymes thromboxane synthase and …
