Leukotrienes are important lipid mediators implicated in the regulation of various cellular processes and in disease states as well as homeostasis. Regulation of leukotriene biosynthesis is therefore of considerable interest. Although the levels of expression and catalytic activity of leukotriene-forming proteins have long been recognized as important determinants of leukotriene biosynthesis, it has recently become apparent that their intracellular compartmentalization also affects the integrated output of this biosynthetic pathway. In this minireview, we focus an the unexpected discovery that the nucleus is the key intracellular site for leukotriene biosynthesis and discuss the mechanisms that regulate protein localization and the potential implications of these findings.
