Superoxide dismutase (SOD)를 많이 생산하는 신기능성 오이(Cucumis sativus L.) 과실을 개발하기 위하여, 발아 7일째의 자엽절편에 완두콩(Pisum sativum) 유래 MnSOD 유전자를 Agrobacterium tumefeciens LBA4404의 매개로 형질 전환시켰다. 1mg/L zeatin, 0.1mg/L IAA, 300mg/L claforan, 100mg/L kanamycin이 포함된 선발배지에서 부정아를 유도한 후, 1주일 간격으로 계대배양하면서 kanamycin 저항성 형질전환체를 선발하였다. 선발배지 배양 6주 후 kanamycin 저항성을 가진 부정아만을 절단하여 0.2mg/L NAA가 함유된 발근배지에 옮겨 뿌리를 유도한 후, 화분에서 순화시켰다. 소식물체의 잎에서 DNA를 분리하여 PCR 로 분석한 결과, 3개의 식물체에서 선발마커유전자인 NPTII 유전자가 존재함을 확인하여 SOD 유전자가 오이에 도입됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이중 한 개체의 과실에서 SOD 함량이 무처리개체에 비해 약 3.2배 높았으며 native gel 전기영동에서 도입한 SOD isoenzyme 밴드가 강하게 검출되었다.

To study the relationship between oxygen tolerance and enzyme activity in the oxygen metabolism of bifidobacteria, the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), NADH oxidase and NADH peroxidase from six typical bifidobacteria and other bacteria were assayed by spectrophotometry. Catalase activity was hardly detected in any of the bifidobacteria tested. SOD activity was detected in every species including the Clostridium species. In particular SOD activity was notably high in the aerosensitive Bifidobacterium adolescentis. This fact indicates that SOD activity is not a critical factor to ensure aerotolerance. Aerosensitive B. adolescentis showed very low NADH oxidative enzyme activity whereas other aerotolerant bifidobacteria exhibited considerable activity for the enzymes. It seems that detoxification of $H_2O_2$ by NADH oxidative enzymes might be an important factor in improving for aerotolerant bifidobacteria survival rates in an oxygen environment.

토마토에서 GUS 유전자를 가진 Agrobacterium을 이용하여 형질전환된 캘러스와 형질전환 되지 않은 캘러스의 peroxidase(POD)와 superoxide dismutase(SOD) 활성 차이를 조사하여 형질전환된 세포의 안전성평가의 기초자료로 삼고자 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. JA101 종자로부터 형성된 hypocotyl의 POD, SOD 비활성은 각각 23 unit/mg protein와 2,156 unit/mg protein로 공시품종 중 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Hypocotyl 절편체로부터 유도한 캘러스 생장은 1mg/L 2,4-D의 농도에서 가장 좋았으며, 1 mg/L 2,4-D가 함유된 배지에서 유도된 캘러스에서 POD 와 SOD 비활성은 각각 47 unit/mg protein 와 95,786 unit/mg protein로 높게 나타났다. Agrobacterium과 hypocotyl 절편체와의 공동배양으로부터 형성된 캘러스중 21.6%의 형질전환된 캘러스를 얻을수 있었으며, 형질전환된 캘러스의 POD 비활성은 54 unit/mg protein로 형질전환 되지 않은 캘러스의 64 unit/mg protein보다 낮게 나타났고, SOD 비활성은 형질전환된 캘러스가 30,300 unit/mg protein로 형질전환되지 않은 캘런스의 37,077 unit/mg protein 보다 낮게 나타났다. 형질전환된 캘러스와 형질전환되지 않은 캘러스간의 isozyme pattern 차이는 인정할 수 없었다.

To evaluate the effect of antioxidant on the cytotoxicity induced by oxidative stress of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cultured human skin melanocytes, colorimeric assay of XTT and tyrosinase activity assay were adopted after human skin melanocytes were preincubated for 2 hours in the media containing various concentrations of superoxide dismutase (SOD) before the treatment of hydrogen peroxide. Light microscopic study was carried out in same cultures. The results of this study were as follows 1. Cell viability of human skin melanocytes was significantly decreased by 30 and $40{\mu}M$ of hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$), respectively. 2. XTT50 was determined at $30{\mu}M$ after human skin melanocytes were treated with $10{\sim}40{\mu}M$ of hydrogen peroxide for 6 hours. 3. The cell viability of cultured human skin melanocytes pretreated with SOD was increased than that of cultured human skin melanocytes treated with $H_2O_2$ dose-dependently. 4. In tyrosinase activity of human skin melanocytes, the cell treated with SOD showed brown stain compared with $H_2O_2$ treated cells, dark stain. 5. In light microscopy, cultured human skin melanocytes exposed to $H_2O_2$ showed morphological changes such as the decreased cell number and cytoplasmic processes, compared with control. 6. In light microscopy, cultured human skin melanocytes pretreated with SOD showed the increase of cell number and cytoplasmic processes compared with $H_2O_2-treated$ group. From these results, it is suggested that oxidative stress of ROS such as $H_2O_2$ has cytotoxicity by showing the decreased cell viability, the increased tyrosinase activity and mophological changes of the decreased cell number and cytoplasmic processes. While, antioxidant like SOD was effective in the prevention of oxidative stress-mediated cytotoxicity by the increased cell viability, decreased tyrosinase activity and the protection of degenerative morphological changes in cultured human skin melanocytes.

The effect of PSOD expression on lacZ-sodP fusion (pYK4) was explored in Escherichia coli sodA sodB mutants (QC774) under oxidative stress. In this system, although .betha.-galactosidase activity was not fully induced by isopropyl-1-thio-.betha.-galactosidase (IPTG) and was inhibited by glucose, functional PSOD was under lacZ promotor control and was induced by IPTC, lactose, PQ and copper isons, finally, the results show that higher PSOD expression leel was consistently importnat in defending against superoxide radicals.

The kinetics of thermal dissociation of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was studied in 0.05 M Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.4 containing $10^{-4}\;M$ EDTA. The number of conformational locks and contact areas and amino acid residues of dimers of SOD were obtained by kinetic analysis and biochemical calculation. The cleavage bonds between dimers of SOD during thermal dissociation and type of interactions between specific amino acid residues were also simulated. Two identical contact areas between two subunits were identified. Cleavage of these contact areas resulted in dissociation of the subunits, with destruction of the active centers, and thus, lost of activity. It is suggested that the contact areas interact with active centers by conformational changes involving secondary structural elements.

The first line of antioxidant defense against reactive oxygen species includes the enzymatic activity of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) that catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and water. The SOD mainly removes highly toxic $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ and also prevents $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ mediated reduction of iron and subsequent OH$^{[-10]}$ generation. Along with an interest in SOD as a first line of defense against damage mediated by the superoxide anion, the SOD1 enzyme has been subjected to investigation in the molecular and cellular level.

The intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) from Staphylococcus sciuri was isolated to homogeneity by continuous steps, including ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and phenyl hydrophobic gel chromatography. Pure SOD had a specific activity of 4,625 U/mg and was purified 158-fold with a yield of 31 % from a cell free extract. The molecular weight of the purified SOD was determined to be approximately 35.5 kDa by gel filtration and the enzyme was also shown to be composed of dimeric subunits on denaturing SDS-PAGE. The enzyme activity remained stable at pH 5 to 11 and also to heat treatment of up to $50^{\circ}C$ at pH 7.8, with 80% relative activity. The enzyme was insensitive to cyanide, hydrogen peroxide, and azide, indicating that it is a manganese-containing SOD. The EPR spectrum showed the enzyme containing manganese as a cofactor.

In an attempt to define the effects of biphenyldimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB) on the lipid peroxidation and oxygen free radical scavenging enzymes activities in mercuric chloride-induced hepatotoxic rats, we studied malondialdehyde (MDA) level and the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in liver of the rats at 24 hr after the injection of mercuric chloride. Sprague-Dalwey albino rats were injected subcutaneously with mercuric chloride (5 mg/kg) only and mercuric chloride (5 mg/kg) plus. DDB (200 mg/kg/day, p.o) is administered for 4 days prior to 3 days from the injection of mercuric chloride. The group treated with mercuric chloride showed significantly higher MDA level and lower catalase and SOD activities as compared with that of control group. The group treated with mercuric chloride plus DDB showed significantly lower MDA level and catalase activity and higher SOD activity as compared with that of mercuric chloride-treated group. These results suggest that the excessive oxygen free radicals resulting from the depression of superoxide dismutase activity is an important determinant in the pathogenesis of mercuric chloride-induced hepatotoxicity and DDB has antioxidant effects.

Membrane lipid peroxidation processes yield reactive aldehydes that may react with copper,zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn SOD), one of the key antioxidant enzymes against oxidative stress. We investigated this possibility and found that exposing Cu,Zn SOD to malondialdehyde (MDA) or 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) caused the loss of dismutase activity, cross-linking of peptides, and an increase in protein oxidation, reflected by the increased level of carbonyl groups. When Cu,Zn SOD that had been exposed to MDA or HNE was subsequently analyzed by amino acid analysis, histidine content was found to be significantly lost. Both MDA-and HNE-treated Cu,Zn SOD were resistant to proteolysis, which may imply that damaged proteins exist in vivo for a longer period of time than the native enzyme. The lipid peroxidation-mediated damage to Cu,Zn SOD may result in the perturbation of cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms, and subsequently lead to a pro-oxidant condition.
