Abstract

Superoxide dismutase which is metalloenzyme that decomposes superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. Vitreoscilla has FeSOD. Expression of FeSOD to paraquat was largely constitutive. This suggests that the basal level of FeSOD is sufficient to provide protection against superoxide generated during normal aerobic metabolism. Induction of SOD by iron supports that insertion of the active site metal into the corresponding apoprotein. The effect of paraquat on induction by iron seemed that iron brought the synergism effect in SOD activity with paraquat. It suggests that the relief of growth inhibition is due to protection against the lethality of O$_2$afforded by the elevated SOD. There may be control of FeSOD activity posttranslationally. Posttranslation control of enzyme function is particularly feasible for a metalloenzyme, for which conversion of apo- to holoenzyme may be the rate-limiting or regulatory step.

본 연구에서는 절대적 호기성인 Vitreoscilla가 지닌 FeSOD의 특성을 밝히고자 paraquat와 iron을 사용하여 실험하였다. Vitreoscilla에서 FeSOD의 활성도는 초산화 음이온을 생성하는 paraquat에 대해 커다란 영향 없이 일정하게 발현되었다. 이 결과는 Vitreoscilla는 호기적인 물질대사 동안 생성되어지는 초산화 음이온에 대해 방어할 수 있을 만큼 충분한 FeSOD를 평상시 지니고 있음을 의미한다. 또한 다른 요소에 의한 FeSOD의 발현 가능성이 고려되어졌다. 보조 인자인 Fe 를 처리한 결과 활성도가 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 이는 CN-resistant respiration을 증가시키는 초산화 음이온에 대한 조절 기작과는 달리 apoenzyme 상태가 보조 인자인 금속 이온 (Fe)에 의해 holoenzyme 상태로 전환되었음을 의미한다. PQ와 Fe를 함께 처리하였을 경우, FeSOD의 증가는 PQ에 의해서 생성된 초산화 음이온에 의해 apo 상태에서 hole 상태로 FeSOD의 활성이 증진되는 synergism effect로 설명되어진다. 결론적으로 metalloenzyme인 SOD의 경우는 이런 전환이 활성 속도를 제한하거나 조절할 수도 있는 posttranslational 수준의 조절 기작이 존재함을 알 수 있었다.
