쥐노래미 eye-specific LDH C₄ 동위효소의 정제 및 특성

Purification and Characterization of Eye-Specific Lactate Dehydrogenase C₄ Isozyme in Greenling (Hexagrammos otakii)

쥐노래미(Hexagrammos otakii) 눈 조직의 젖산탈수소효소(EC 1.1.1.27, lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) eye-specific $C_4$ 동위효소를 affinity chromatography 및 continuous-elution electrophoresis system으로 정제하였다. 정제된 eye-specific LDH $C_4$ 동위효소의 분자량은 154.8 kDa이었다. 효소반응의 최적 pH는 8.5로 나타났다. 피루브산을 기질로 하였을 때 eye-specific LDH $C_4$ 동위효소의 $K^{PYR}_m$ 값은 $1.88{\times}10^{-5}$ M로 나타났다. 본 실험결과 eye-specific LDH $C_4$ 동위효소의 활성 측정 시 pH를 고려해야만 하고 eye-specific LDH $C_4$ 동위효소는 LDH A4 동위효소보다 피루브산에 대한 기질결합친화성이 큰 것으로나타났다. 생성된 eye-specific LDH $C_4$ 동위효소에 대한 항체는 사람에서의 병증진단 및 어류에서의 비교생리학적 연구에 폭 넓게 사용될 것이라고 생각된다.

Eye-specific lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27, LDH) $C_4$ isozyme in the eyes of greenlings (Hexagrammos otakii) was successfully purified by affinity chromatography and continuous-elution electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the purified eye-specific LDH $C_4$ isozyme was 154.8 kDa, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Optimal pH for enzymatic reaction of the eye-specific LDH $C_4$ isozyme was pH 8.5. $K^{PYR}_m$ value of the purified eye-specific LDH $C_4$ isozyme was $1.88{\times}10^{-5}$ M using pyruvate as a substrate. These results indicate that we must consider pH when measuring eye-specific LDH $C_4$ isozyme activity. The eye-specific LDH $C_4$ isozyme had a higher binding affinity for the substrate as a pyruvate than LDH A4 isozyme. Antibodies produced against the purified eye-specific LDH $C_4$ isozyme may be used in the diagnosis of several human diseases and in comparative physiological studies of fishes.
