Effects of Salt Stress on Protein Content, ATPase and Peroxidase Activities in Tobacco.

염스트레스가 담배식물의 Protein, ATPase 및 Peroxidase 활성에 미치는 영향

The analysis of biochemical changes in tobacco plant as increase of NaCl concentraion was conducted. Total protein content and soluble protein content were decreased as NaCl concentration was increased, in that steady decreased until 120mM NaCl and largely decreased at 150mM NaCl. The expression of 74Kd subunit was increased until 60mM NaCl. However, the amount of 74Kd protein was decreased from 90mM NaCl. There was no difference for expression of other protein subunits. Chlorophyll a content was significantly decrease as NaCl concentration was increased, but chlorophyll b content was not much decreased. The slow increase up to 120mM NaCl and large increase at 150mM NaCl for ATPase and peroxidase activities indicated that 120mM NaCl could be a limiting concentration for salt injury.

본 실험은 담배에서 염스트레스에 따른 생리적 반응의 연구결과(제1보)를 기초로, NaCl를 농도별로 처리하여 생체내에서 일어나는 생화학적인 변화의 구명을 통해 염해기작의 기초자료로 얻고자 수행한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 총단백질과 가용성단백질은 염농도가 높아질수록 감소하였으며 처리간에는 120mM까지는 완만히 감소하였고, 150mM에서는 급격한 감소를 나타냈다. 전기영동 패턴은 염농도의 증가에 따라 새로운 polypeptide band의 생성과 소멸은 없었으며 약 74Kd의 polypeptide band에서 30mM과 60mM까지는 뚜렷한 양이 증가하였고 90mM부터는 감소하였다. 엽록소함량은 염농도의 증가에 따라 감소하였으며 특히 염해에 의한 반응은 엽록소b보다는 엽록소a가 민감하였다. ATPase활성과 peroxidase의 활성은 염농도가 높아질수록 120mM까지는 일정하게 증가하였으나 150mM에서 급격히 증가하여 담배의 염해의 생화학적인 제한범위는 120mM로 나타났다.
