Actively growin Excherichia coli(KCTC 1039) cells were treated with paraquat (1, 1'-dimethyl-4, 4'-bipyridili-um dichloride) by cultivating them in the presence of 1.0mM paraquat. The treatment was carried out with or without shaking to understand the effect of oxygen on paraquat action to thebacterial superoxide dismutase (SOd). By the treatment with vigorous shaking , population growth of the organism almostly stopped and specific activities of SOD of the cells drastically decreased. On contrast ot it, the herbicide showed only l limited inhibitory action on bacterial growth and SOD activity by stationary treatment. Proteins prepared from parquat-treated cells divided into two peaks by Sephacryl column chormatogrpahy, while proteins from the intact cells formed a single peak. Cytoplasmic proteins and plasma membrane proteins of intact cells formed separated three peaks by Sephadex G-75 column chormatography. respectively. Among them the second peak disappeared by paraquat treatment , while the third peak became more apparent. Fractions from the first and the third peak showed SOD activity. Paraquat was detected from the same fractions.

The covalent conjugation of human recombinant superoxide dismutase (hrSOD) with trichloros-triazine activated polyethylene glycol (PEG) 5000 formed soluble conjugates with molecular weight of 92KD, which retained $90{\sim}98%$ of original activity with a markedly prolonged plasma half-life of enzyme activity. The effect of hrSOD-PEG conjugates on acetaminophen (ACP)-induced hepatotoxicity was tested in male rats which were pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene. HrSOD-PEG conjugates inhibited the hepatotoxicity produced by ACP, on the other hand, native hrSOD had no protective effect. The above results indicated that oxygen radicals might participate in the mechanism of the ACP-induced hepatotoxicity and that polymer conjugated-protein drugs with prolonged half-lives could be employed as an effective therapeutic agent.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of red ginseng extract (5.5 mg/mouse ip) on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase and catalase in the liver of the gamma ray irradiated male mice. The experimental groups consisted of control, red ginseng extract injection group, irradiation (8 $Gy^{60}$Co) group and red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group. in red ginseng extract injection group, SOD, peroxidase and catalase activities were similar to that in the control group. In irradiation group SOD, peroxidase and catalase activities increased progressively until the 2nd day after the treatment and then decreased thereafter, whereas red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group recovered more rapidly than irradiation group. The above results suggested that red ginseng extract injection after irradiation group have the recovery effects on the activities of SOD, peroxidase and catalase after radiation injury in the liver of male mice.

A Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) gene from the obligate intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi has been cloned by using the polymerase chain reaction with degenerate oligonucleotide primers corresponding to conserved regions of known SODs. Nucleotide sequencing revealed that the predicted amino acid sequence was significantly more homologous to known iron-containing SODs (FeSOD) than to manganese-containing SODs (MnSOD). Conserved regions in bacterial FeSOD could also be seen. Isolation of the oriential SOD gene may provide an opportunity to examine its role in the intracellular survival of this bacterium.

대두 발효 식품의 항산화 활서을 알아보기 위하여 in vitro와 in vivo에서 과산화 지질의 생성 억제와 항산화 관련 효소인 superoxide dismutae(SOD), catalase및 glu-tathion perosidase 활성을 증강시키는 실험을 실시하였다. In vitro 실험에서 항산화 활성을 실험한 결과 대두 발효식품은 POV와 관산화 지질의 생성을 유의성있게 억제시켰으며, quercetin과 catechin와 비교와 결과 SOD 활성은 상당히 높았다. 그리고 대두 발효 식품은 SD계 수컷 쥐에 2주간 사료에 첨가하여 먹인 후 항산화 활성을 측정한결과, 대두 발효식품을 쥐에 투여하여 사염화 탄소($CCl_4$)로 손상을 유도시킨 뒤 쥐의 간 microsome의 지질 과산화를 유의성 있게 억제 시켰다. 항산화 관련 효소인 SOD, catalase 및 glu-tathion perosidase 활성은 유의성 있게 증가하였고, 지질 과산화도 억제시켰다. 따라서 대두 발효 식품은 산화 스트레스로 생성되는 활성 산소의 소거에 효과적임을 알 수 있다.

An isolate of Pseudomonas putida has been found to aggressively colonize root tips and induce plant resistance to Fusarium wilt. However, P. putida mutants lacking Fe-superoxide dismutase (SOD) or both FeSOD and MnSOD activities are less competitive in root tip colonization. In the current study, the growth of an FeSOD mutant was found to be more sensitive than that of the wild-type or a MnSOD mutant to oxidative stress imposed by paraquat treatment and culturing with the soil fungus Talaromyces flavus, which generates reactive oxygen species. Also, the loss of culturability with an aging stationary-phase culture was greater for a double SOD mutant than an FeSOD mutant, while no reduction in culturability was observed with the wild-type and a MnSOD mutant under the same protracted stationary-phase conditions. Accordingly, it was concluded that FeSOD activity is the major form of SOD in P. putida and plays an essential role in survival under stress conditions when increased oxidative stress is encountered.

The changes in expression of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in light-damaged rat retinas were examined. Sprague-Dawley rats (male, 6-weeks-old) were maintained on a cyclic photoperiod (12 hours light and 12 hours darkness) for 2 weeks. The illumination intensity during the light period was 80 lux. To induce light damage to the retina, a high-intensity illumination (3000-lux) was applied to the animals for 24 hours. After light exposure, the animals were returned to cyclic lighting. Eyes were enucleated 12 and 24 hours after light exposure started or 1,3, and 7 days after light exposure ended. Eyes were fixed and embedded in paraffin wax. Tissues were cut into 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thick sections. Sections were immunostained using antibody against CuZn-SOD, Mn-SOD, GPX and 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanocine (8-OHdG) as oxidative stress marker. 8-OHdG was observed in the outer nuclear layer (ONL) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) during light exposure. In light-damaged retinas CuZn-SOD labeling was up regulated in the ONL and RPE. Mn-SOD labeling was up regulated in rod inner segments (RIS) during light exposure and that in the RPE was up regulated after exposure. GPX labeling was observed in rod outer segments (ROS) during light exposure. GPX labeling was also observed in the RPE during and after light exposure. All three enzymes were observed in the outer retina, which suffered light damage, but occurred in defferent layers except within the RPE, in which case all three were expressed. These enzymes may play complementary roles as protective factors in light-damaged retinas.

The genomic structure of the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene from the entomopathogenic fungus, Cordyceps pruinosa was characterized. The SOD1 gene of C. pruinosa spans 947 nucleotides and consisted of four exons encoding for 154 amino acids and three introns. Four exons of the SOD1 gene are composed of 13, 331, 97 and 20 nucleotides respectively. Homology search of amino acid sequences of the SOD1 gene of C. pruinosa with another 13 fungi species showed higher sequence similarity of 69% ~ 95% and had the most highest sequence identity of 95% with Beauveria bassiana and Cordyceps militaris, which can easely infect domesticated Bombyx mori and another wild lepidopteran species in artificial or natual manner of infection. This SOD1 gene sequence showed copper, zinc and beta-barrel fold sites. Homology search showed that the Cu/Zn SOD1 gene from the entomopathogenic fungus, C. pruinosa is an orthologous gene homolog present in different species of organism whose ancestor predates the split between the relating species. In addition, C. pruinosa SOD1 gene is placed together within the ascomycetes group of fungal clade. From these results it is concluded that C. pruinosa SOD1 gene is orthologous gene having the same or very similar functions with a common evolutionary ancestor.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD)를 과실에서 고발현시킨 형질전환 토마토 (서광과 꼬꼬)를 개발하였다. 카사바 배양세포에서 분리한 CuZnSOD (mSOD1)를 과실에 우세적으로 발현하는 ascorbate oxidase promoter (ASOp)를 이용하여 ASOp :: mSOD1/pBI101 벡터를 제작한 후 Agrobacterium 매개로 자엽 절편체를 형질전환하였다. Kanamycin 저항성 식물체를 기관발생 경로로 재분화시킨 후 Southern 분석으로 형질전환을 확인하였다. 서광과 꼬꼬 토마토의 형질전환체와 대조구 식물체의 과실을 성숙 단계별로 분류하여 단백질 함량과 SOD 비활성도 (units/mg protein)를 측정한 결과, 단백질 함량은 열매가 익은 단계로 갈수록 점점 감소하여 완전히 익은 단계에서 가장 낮았다. SOD 비활성도는 형질전환 토마토의 열매의 모든 단계에서 대조구보다 높았으며 완전히 성숙한 과실에서 가장 높았다. 성숙한 형질전환 서광과 꼬꼬 과실에서 SOD 비활성도는 비형질전환의 것보다 각각 약 1.6배와 약 2.2배 높았다. SOD isoenzyme gel 분석에서 도입한 mSOD1로 추정되는 CuZnSOD 밴드가 형질전환체에서 과실 성숙에 따라 강하게 발현되었다. 이상의 결과로서 ASO promoter에 의해 SOD 유전자가 토마토 과실에 특이적으로 발현됨이 확인되었다.
