Soybean peroxidase was extracted from soybean hulls and purified by ammonium sulfate precipitations (25% and 75% saturation), pl fractionation, and anionic exchange and gel filtration chromatographies (DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Superose 12). Modlecular weight and pl value were estimated to be ca. 45 kD and 4.2, respectively. Purified soybean peroxidase had an RZ value of 0.43. Compared with horseradish peroxidase, it showed superior thermal and pH stability. Assuming the first-order kinetics, the thermal deactivation rate constant of soybean peroxidase at 80$^{\circ}C$ was about 8 times lower than that of horseradish peroxidase. Deactivation energy was calculated to be 69.3 kcal/mol. Soybean peroxidase showed about 10% higher H2O2 degradation capacity than horseradish peroxidase. Exploiting these advantages, the soybean peroxidase purified from the domestic soybean hull is expected to replace horseradish peroxidase in various applications.

콩나물 줄기로부터 추출, 정제한 peroxidase는 glucose oxidase와 함께 guaiacol을 기질로 사용하여 포도당의 분석에 사용되었다. peroxidase는 DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange column chromatography를 통해 얻은 분획이 조효소액에 비해 specific activity가 10.8배 증가되었고 수율은 11.3%였다. 정제된 peroxidase와 glucose oxidase를 이용한 포도당 분석의 최적 pH는 5.5였고 최적온도는 $40^{\circ}C$로 나타났으며 포도당 양의 증가에 따라 효소활성은 증가되었으며 반응시간과의 관계에서도 직선을 보여 주었다. 그리고 L-cysteine과 dithiothreitol과 같은 환원제는 포도당 분석에 이용되는 glucose oxidase와 콩나물 peroxidase의 활성을 저해하는 것으로 나타났다.

Chaperone;Glutathione peroxidase;Peroxiredoxin;Schizosaccharomyces pombe;Thioredoxin peroxidase;To investigate the differences in the functional roles of peroxiredoxins (Prxs) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we examined the peroxidase and molecular chaperone properties of the recombinant proteins. TPx (thioredoxin peroxidase) exhibited a capacity for peroxide reduction with the thioredoxin system. GPx also showed thioreoxin-dependent peroxidase activity rather than GPx activity. The peroxidase activity of BCP (bacterioferritin comigratory protein) was similar to that of TPx. However, peroxidase activity was not observed for PMP20 (peroxisomal membrane protein 20). TPx, PMP20, and GPx inhibited thermal aggregation of citrate synthase at 43$^{\circ}C$, but BCP failed to inhibit the aggregation. The chaperone activities of PMP20 and GPx were weaker than that of TPx. The peroxidase and chaperone properties of TPx, BCP, and GPx of the fission yeast are similar to those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The fission yeast PMP20 without thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase activity may act as a molecular chaperone.

Changes of peroxidase activity, polyamine content and ethylene production during somatic embryogenesis in suspension-cultured carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells were investigated. As compared with nonembyrogenic cells and their medium, embryogenic cells and their medium were characterized by higher levels of peroxidase at all times of culture period. Peroxidase in embryogenic cells showed higher oxidation activity of IAA than in nonembryogenic cells at the torpedo stage, but the IAA oxidation activity of peroxidase released into embryogenic medium was lower than that of peroxidase released into nonembryogenic medium. Peroxidase patterns of embryogenic and nonembryogenic cells showed three cathodic bands, and one anodic band, while peroxidase patterns released into embryogenic and nonembryogenic media did not show any anodic bands and the isoelectric points of cathodic peroxidase were pH 7.7, 7.5 and 6.6. Compared with nonembryogenic cells, polyamine content in embryogenic cells was increased by 15% at the torpedo stage, but polyamine ratio was constant, and ethylene production was extremely low at all times of culture period. Therefore, it is suggested that the peroxidase in embryogenic cells is correlated with embryogenesis by regulating hormone ratios through IAA oxidation, while the peroxidase isozyme patterns may be used as a biochemical marker of embryogenesis. The increase of polyamine content and the decrease of ethylene production suggest an interaction between polyamine and ethlyene during embryogenesis.

수도품종 농백, 진흥, 낙동, 태백 등 4품종과 도열병균 KJ-101과 KJ-301의 2race를 사용하여 peroxidase 활성증가와 저항성과의 관계를 관찰하였다. peroxidase 활성은 수도유균가 성장할수록 모든 품종에서 증가되는 경향은 있었으나 품종간 차이는 크지 않았다. 도열병균을 접종 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 이병 잎에서는 무접종 건전잎보다 효소활성이 높았고 접종된 균주에 비친화적인 품종보다 발병이 심한 친화적 품종에서 더욱 높았다. 전기영동법에 의한 peroxidase pattern은 이병잎에서는 도열병균의 peroxidase band를 관찰할 수 없었다. 질소시비량을 증가시켰을 지라도 peroxidase 활성은 변함이 없었다.

We isolated and sequenced a human retina cDNA fragment that encodes 25 kDa thiol peroxidase. A search of a databank showed that the 25 kDa thiol peroxidase from retina is the same type of thiol peroxidase which exists in human brain and red blood cells. This type of tbiol peroxidase was distributed in all of the tested tissues including retina. This result suggests a physiological role for the 25 kDa thiol peroxidase as an important antioxidant.

Thyroid peroxidase is a biochemical target protein for the antithyroid drugs. Ethanol extracts from one hundred and thirty seven natural products were screened for the inhibition of thyroid peroxidase activity. Thyroid peroxidase was purified from porcine thyroids, and the inhibition of peroxidase activity was evaluated using guaiacol oxidation (C-C coupling) assay. Twenty one natural products expressed a remarkable inhibition (>50%) of peroxidase activity at $330{\mu\textrm{g}}$ solid weight/m. The 50% inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) of 70% ethanol extract from six potent natural products ranged from 3.1 to $31.2{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}$ solid weight/m, in contrast to the range ($0.33~0.54{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml$) of $IC_{50}$ values fro catechin and epigallocatechin gallate as positive controls. Noteworthy, the extract of Camellia taliensis showed irreversible inhibition of the enzyme. It is suggested that extract from some natural products such as Camellia taliensis, Rheum undulatum or Euphorbia perinensis, exhibiting a potent inhibition of peroxidase activity, may be developed as sources of potent antithyroid agents.

The peroxidase activity of cytochrome c was studied by using a chromogen, 2,2'-azinobis-(2-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS). Initial rate of ABTS oxidation formation was linear with respect to the concentration of cytochrome c between 2.5-10 ${\mu}$M and $H_2O_2$ between 0.1-0.5 mM. The optimal pH for the peroxidase activity of cytochrome c was 7.0-8.5. The peroxidase activity retained about 40% of the maximum activity when exposed at 60 $^{\circ}C$. for 10 min. The peroxidase activity showed a typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics for $H_2O_2$ which Km value was 29.6 mM. Radical scavengers inhibited the peroxidase activity of cytochrome c. The peroxidase activity was significantly inhibited by the low concentration of iron chelator, deferoxamine. The results suggested that the peroxidase activity was associated with iron in the heme of cytochrome c.

본 연구에서는 peroxidase 활성의 신속한 스크리닝을 위해 peroxidase의 활성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 분석으로 agar plate와 96-well plate에서 peroxdase의 활성에 비례하여 색상감도를 측정할 수 있는 colorimetric 분석법을 개발하였다. 이 방법은 RP-HPLC 결과와 매우 비례적으로 상관적인 결과를 보였다. 이 colorimetric 분석법을 사용하여, 폐수에서 한천 고체배지에서 7회에 걸친 스크리닝으로 높은 농도의 2,4-DCP(1000 ppm)에서 생존하는 균주를 스크리닝하였고 선별된 이들 균주들은 탄소원으로 2,4-DCP 만을 대사할 수 있으며 높은 peroxidase 생산량을 보였다. 분리된 균주들 중 높은 peroxidase 활성을 가지는 2,4-DCP 분해 균주를 분리하였고 최종 분리된 균주는 염색폐수의 COD를 4시간 동안 44%에서 61%까지 제거하였다. 상기의 결과에 의해 본 연구에서 개발된 발색법이 페놀화합물 분해 균주 스크리닝법이 빠르고 쉬운 난분해성 물질인 페놀 혼합물의 분해 균주 탐색에 대하여 성공적으로 적용될 수 있기를 기대한다.

Oxygen radical은 생물체의 산소대사 과정의 부산물로 생성되어 세포내 여러 성분을 불환성화시키거나 미생물에 대한 방어기전으로 작용한다. 기생충에 존재하는 antioxidant enzyme은 숙주의 방어기전에서 유리하는 oxygen radical의 독성을 제거하므로 이 효소의 활성도는 기생충의 생존에 영향을 미친다고 생각하고 있다. 폐흡충은 피낭유충이 종숙주에 침입한 다음 숙주내 조직이행 시기를 거쳐서 폐에 도달하여 성충이 되므로 이 과정에서 각 시기별 산소독성과 이에 대항하는 효소의 환성이 다를 것으로 추정하였다. 폐흡충의 피낭유충과 감염후 4주, 8주, 12주에 얻은 충체의 추출물을 조효소(조효소)로 하여 SOD, catalase, peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase의 활성도를 측정하였다. 각 효소의 비환성도(specific activity) 중 catalase는 피낭유충에서 최고치였으며, SOD 와 peroxidase는 4주 충체에서 가장 높았고, glutathione peroxidase는 8주 충체에서 높았다. 이들 4가지 antioxidant효소의 비환성도는 감염 12주인 성충에서 모두 낮게 측정되어 조직 이행시기의 충체에서 더 높은 효 소 활성도를 지니고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
