초록

포도당을 이용하여 성장하고 있는 호기성 일산화탄소 산화 세균인 Acinetobacter sp. Strain JC1 DSM 3808애 존재하는 catalase의 활성은 지수성장기 중반에서 높게 나타났으나, 지수성장기 후반 및 정체기 초기에서 낮아졌다가 정체기 중기에서 급격히 증가한 후 다시 감소하였다. 이 세균에는 세종류(Cat1, Cat2, Cat3)의 catalase가 존재하였는데, Cat1과 Cat3의 활성은 성장시기에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 Cat2의 활성은 성장시기에 따라 큰 변화를 나타내었다. Cat3는 이 세균이 포도당을 이용하여 성장할 때만 생성되었고, 일산화탄소나 메탄올을 이용하여 성장할 때는 생성되지 않았다. 세포추출액을 ethanol과 chloroform으로 처리한 후 활성염색을 하였을 때 Cat1과 Cat3의 활성은 안정하였으나 Cat2는 활성을 상실하였다. 세포추출액을 20mM $H_2O_2$와 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole(AT)을 처리하였을 때 Cat1과 Cat3의 활성이 반감되었고, Cat2는 $H_2O_2$에 의해서는 불활성되었으나 AT의 영향은 받지 않았다. Cat1은 80$^{\circ}C$ 1분간 열처리후에도 활성을 나타내었으나, Cat2와 Cat3는 60$^{\circ}C$와 70$^{\circ}C$에서 1분간의 열처리 후 각각 활성을 상실하였다. Cat2는 catalase 활성외에 peroxidase의 활성도 나타내었다. 일곱단계의 과정을 거쳐 포도당에서 성장시에만 생성되는 Cat3를 정제하였다. 정제된 Cat3의 크기는 150,000이었고, 63,000의 크기를 가진 두개의 동일한 소단위로 구성되어 있었으며, $H_2O_2$에 대한 K_m값은 39mM과 58mM로 나타났다. 정제된 효소의 활성을 위한 최적 pH는 7.0이었으나 전반적으로 pH 6~9에서 비슷하게 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 정제된 효소의 최적온도는 40$^{\circ}C$이었으며 20~50$^{\circ}C$에서 비슷한 활성을 나타내었고, 30$^{\circ}C$에서는 60분동안 효소활성이 거의 상실되지 않았다. 정제된 효소는 ethanol과 chloroform 처리에는 안정하였으나 12mM AT 와 0.1mM $NaN_3$ 및 1mM KCN에 의해 90% 이상의 활성이 억제되었다.

Cells of Acinetobacter sp. strain JC1 DSM 3803, an aerobic monoxide-oxidizing bacterium, growing on glucose exhibited high catalase activity at the mid-exponential growth phase. The enzyme activity decreased gradually after then until the early stationary phase, increased again at the mid-stationary phase, and then decreased again thereafter. Cells growing on glucose was found to contain three kinds of catalses. Cat1, Cat2 and Cat3. The activities of Cat1 and Cat3 did change significantly during growth, but that of Cat2 exhibited significant variation. Cat3 was found to present only in cells growing on glucose, but not in cells growing on carbon monoxide of methanol. The activities of call and Cat3 in cell-free extracts were stable upon treatment with ethanol and chloroform, but decreased to some extent when the enzymewere treated with 2mM $H_2O_2$ and/or 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (AT). Cat2 was found to be extremely sensitive to the ethanol-chloroform and $H_2O_2$ treatments, but was insensitive to the AT treatment. Cat1 exhibited enzyme activity after incubation for 1 min at 80$^{\circ}C$. Cat2 and Cat3 did not show enzyme activity after incubation for 1 min at 60$^{\circ}C$ and 70$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Cat2 was found to have peroxidase activity. Cat3 was purified to homogenity in seven steps. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be 150,000. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis revealed two identical subunits of molecular weight 65,000. The enzyme was found to show two $K_m$ values of 39 mM and 58mM. The optimal pH for the enzyme activity was 7.0, but the activities at pH 6.0, 8.0, and 9.0, were found to be comparable to that at the optimal pH. The optimal temperature for the enzyme activity was found to be 40$^{\circ}C$. The enzyme also exhibited strong activity at 20$^{\circ}C$, 30$^{\circ}C$, and 50$^{\circ}C$. The purified enzyme was not affected by the ethanol-chloroform treatment. The enzyme, howerver, showed less than 10% of the original activity when it was treated with 12 mN AT, 0.1 mM $NaN_3$ of 1mM KCN.
