영문 초록

The changes in isozyme profiles of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase(GR) during severe deactivation of total CAT activity by aminotriazole (AT) treatment were investigated in the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia ecolype) in relation to H₂O₂-mediated oxidative stress. In spite of striking deactivation of total CAT activity by 0.1 mM AT, there were no significant differences in H₂O₂levels or total leaf soluble protein contents including a Rubisco in both the control and AT-treated leaves. On the other hand, one specific protein band (molecular mass, 66 kD) was observed on the SDS-gel from leaf soluble proteins whose staining intensity was strikingly enhanced by AT treatment for 6 h. However, this band disappeared at 12 h. In the native-gel assays of CAT, POD, APX and GR isozymes, AT remarkably inhibited the expression of the CAT1 isozyme with no effects on CAT2 and CAT3, and generally had no effect on POD isozyme profiles. However, AT stmulated the intensity of activities of pre-existing APX1 and GR1 isozymes. In particular, it induced a new synthesis of one GR isozyme. Therefore, these results collectively suggest that a striking deactivation of total CAT activity by AT in A. thaliana leaves largely results from the suppression of CAT1 isozyme, and that APX1, GR1, and a newly syntheszed GR isozyme could complement the role of CAT1 to metabolize H₂O₂into non-toxic water.
