Studies on Peroxidase Isozymes of Tobacco and Korean Radish: implication of Specific Isoperoxidase in Shoot Formation

In an attempt to clarify the physiological functions of individual isoperoxidases, we have studied enzymatic and immunological properties as well as cellular distribution of isoperoxidases from tobacco callus and Korean radish. The gene expression patterns of isoperoxidases in shoot and non-shoot-forming tobbaco callus were also examined by rabbit reticulocyte lysatein vitro translation system. These results indicate that fraction of translatable poly(A)-isoperoxidase mRNA was increased considerably in shoots. At the present time, at least 6-7 isoperoxidases could be detected from the translation mixture of total cellular RNA, among which only one cell wall localized anodic isoperoxidase (named A3) mRNA was bimorphic mRNA. These data suggest the possible regulation of peroxidase activity during shoot formation by altering the polyadenylation state of mRNA. In case of Korean radish seedlings, poly(A)- peroxidase mRNA were also increased depending upon aging.
